how's a general strike supposed to work when our labor is worthless

rich people aren't rich from owning the things we make or do

they're rich because they own, trade, and speculate on the things our grandparents made (and things that are just imaginary)

a general strike is just another disaster they can capitalism, another shock they can doctrine



imagine thinking that capital will cruise missile its own capital, tho

what a maroon

billionaires are still human and interact with other humans, capitalism is also critically dependent on humans

therein lies their weakness, they need us more than we need them

Bigfoot isn't a threat. Unless you happen to have a sack of apples, but then it's best to share anyhow.

It's really annoying that there's more than one bigfoot show and a few of them are gun toting shitheads so comedy is bound to prevail.

In a recent FPlus episode it was established that bigfoot is actually the devil, though they also said you shouldn't shoot it unless you absolutely have to because if you kill it then its bigfoot friends (which are always nearby) will rush in and kill you.

ignore the other answers:

Bigfoots are from a different dimension and therefore it is entirely safe and legal to shoot the Bigfoots.

also according to "Extradimensional Bigfoot" this is also true:

you just need to start doing it in a pattern. you first announce you're gonna strike on the first monday of every other month, and then do it and record yourself and post the video online. then you do it again in two months on the first monday, again recording it and posting. keep doing it and you'll get copycats, and eventually it will go viral. then you tell everyone to strike every month, and they do it because you are the originator.
Seems like this would be pretty difficult to pull off. How are you going to get a new job that quickly?

By the way, the reason those Parents Against Gun Violence text-images work is because of the clear, simple and active language they use. If newspapers wrote that way about officer-involved-shootings (el oh loving el) people would feel a whole lot different about them.

Also that they use the point of view of the shooter rather than some imagined impartial third person.

Going through them again I still feel the same rollercoaster of shock, horror, disgust and sadness.

But most of all, you realise just how loving stupid almost all of them are. There's no "one good man with a gun" only "one man who didn't get enough dipping sauces for his nuggies".

Bigfoots are extremely territorial, if they're running into your yard it's probably to conduct some kind of Royal Rumble to determine the Alpha. Regardless of the outcome, your property (and kids) are forfeit to the Bigfoot Nation

They probably left out some context where the guy tried to first insert himself into it to break them up or something and then they started yelling at the guy instead so he felt threatened and killed them. Not that that would make it better or anything, but yeah.

Actually here, found it. Turns out the guy went to the coach's home to yell at him, which changes things a little bit imo, but still :psyduck:

https://nypost.com/2018/12/24/dads-confrontation-with-basketball-coach-ends-in-double-shooting/

quote:

The father, 47-year-old Christopher Hooks, went to the home of Paul Robeson HS coach Todd Myles Saturday night, according to police and league sources.

Hooks was angry over his son’s lack of playing time in a game a few days earlier and wanted to confront the 42-year-old coach, according to the sources.

The game took place on Tuesday, when Robeson lost to Westinghouse HS. Hooks’ wife was visibly enraged about her son’s lack of playing time, a league source said.

When Hooks went to argue with the coach at his home, a third man arrived on the scene and started shooting, police sources said. It’s not clear why.

"It's not clear why" lmao

Wait a sec, the coach made up the third person, he actually shot the guy himself lmao:

https://abc13.com/high-school-basketball-coach-shooting-paul-robeson-todd-myles-miles-christopher-hooks/5118049/

quote:

BROOKLYN, New York -- A Brooklyn high school basketball coach was charged with shooting the parent of one of his players.

Investigators said Christopher Hooks went to the home of Paul Robeson High School basketball coach Todd Myles to confront him about his son's playing time.

A short time later, police were called to Myles' home on December 22, 2018, where Myles told police that a third person shot them for an unknown reason and then fled the scene.

Hooks was hospitalized with a serious physical injury. He was intubated and could not speak to detectives for a month.

Myles originally claimed that a third person showed up and shot both of them, but Hooks told police a different story after recovering from his injuries.

Y'know if you lived here in Florida you could have just flat out said you shot the dude because you were stand your ground castle doctrining and the cops would have been like "okay sir have a nice day"

Well not in this case cuz the coach was black but still.

Reminder that here in Florida, after the whole Trayvon Martin thing, our legislature passed a law to make sure such a tragedy never happens again:

quote:

Instead of placing the entire burden on the defendant, the law now requires a defendant to establish only a prima facie case of self-defense immunity. At that point, the burden shifts to the prosecution to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant does not qualify for immunity.

Not only does this provision shift the burden of proof to the prosecution, it also raises the standard of proof from “preponderance of the evidence” to “clear and convincing evidence.”

Now a white man will never again have to waste his time having to prove that his shooting was justified :patriot:
