I, personally, am itching for progress. In my lifetime. What history has proven is that progress is never achieved without bloodshed.

Though there is one very easy step the US at least can take that isn't bloodshed: STOP SELLING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.

They can be both because the jobs they work pay too little to live on, so they need welfare to survive.

Of course that's true for most jobs that non-immigrants work too, but a few cents more and you're suddenly not eligible for grocery money.

This is quickly becoming the norm in every industry. Every employer wants fewer employees to do more, without paying them more of course.

There's a saying, "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing mankind that he doesn't exist."

I disagree. I think the greatest trick would be to prove that you're the good guy, and the other guy is the bad guy. If anything about the Xtian Bible is true, Lucifer is absolutely the good guy.

I very strongly disagree. It may appear that way, but community is simply less profitable than "influencers", so communities aren't invested in. Social media and even following influencers/content creators is an example of people looking for community, just not having healthy communities to pick from.

It gets better, because all the money they "lost" on a movie they can also write off. Oops, we didn't make any money this year because we put out 10 billion dollar movies and only made 10 million at the box office. Tax break please!

Would you be ok with a limited spooky season if it came with a ban (enforced by the death penalty, no trial), on Xmas music outside of a 36 hour window starting at noon on Xmas eve?

All the comments saying it's a distraction from how the working class is being oppressed by the owner class are right, but also...

There have always been bigots, small town small minded people who don't "know any gay people" but there was that one skinny boy in their class that didn't like sports so he was bullied until he left town at 18. And now, that generation of bigots is finally dying out. Not only due to age but due to an increased connection with the greater world. A small town bigot might not know any LGBT people personally but they are aware of their existence, due to television and the Internet. So quietly ignoring people who are different than you doesn't work anymore. And a dying animal fights harder than ever.

These death throes are useful to the owner class. But they are still dying out. And if we can exterminate capitalism and figure out a way to survive in a post-warmed globe, we might just see the end of (this particular type) of bigotry.
