PT6A posted:It's really sad that public transit in most of North America is so poo poo that it's viewed as just a poor-person thing. When I lived briefly in Madrid, the metro was not only for those who had no other option, it was efficient and reasonably pleasant and cheap, so why wouldn't you use it? Even in Calgary, when I lived near an LRT station and commuted to university regularly, you bet I used the LRT every day. I think I drove to campus... maybe five times per year, if that? And I owned a car the whole time! But who wants to sit in traffic and pay for gas and parking when you could just hop on the train and magically show up where you want to be in a similar amount of time? The reason why public transport is either bad or non-existent in much of the US is because of a concerted effort by the Koch Bros. They are heavily invested in all aspects of the automobile and road industries. They have a vested interest in keeping people driving. There have been many reports on them spending tons of money to kill light rail and other public transport over the decades.

In a more just world, the minority protestors would be just as free and able to fire tear gas canisters on the pigs and chuds too.

Walz declares Minneapolis in state of emergency until Sunday. Target closes 14 TC stores until further notice. https://www.startribune.com/target-closes-14-twin-cities-stores-until-further-notice/570848882/ Target appears to feel a bit like a target in all of this.

SubG posted:When a fascist wants to commit an outrage, they first accuse their opponent of engaging in the same outrage. Not because it is credible. Not because they want the lie to be believed. They want it to be obvious that it is a lie. So when they engage in the behaviour they have falsely accused their opponent of, the waters have been muddied. The public just thinks that each side accuses the other of everything. The idea isn't to sell the lie, it's to undermine the idea that the truth is knowable.

You're not "seeing cases" at loving CVS. It’s true. In fact I killed myself two weeks ago because I was so depressed about not being able to see my barber. Before the thread dogpiles me: I know I could have cut my own hair but it’s just not the same.

A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1266136952874696709 It's very easy to assume that this was some sort of honest mistake. That the well-meaning officials with their hands on the wheel of our justice system just can't seem to get these things right. That they make the wrong choices, and can't really be faulted for a lapse in judgement. They have no choice. The institution from which these individuals draw power require that no cop be held accountable for their action; namely, police violence is necessary to retain authority. Should police violence ever fall into question, it would endanger the entire structure. Imagine a bank that cannot foreclose on your house, because there's no cop to kick you out. Imagine a Target that cannot coerce your labor because there's no cop to keep you from eating. Imagine a government that cannot force your submission. These are no longer powerful institutions. Their power relies on violence. So don't be surprised at what the state is willing to sacrifice to defend violence. They will let the stores burn, they will let the banks burn, they will let civilians and police die. Because if those institutions were to yield to the public, they would lose the only leverage they have: fear.
