Imagine being this mask off. Monarchist hours here

Anybody who thinks that conservatives (as a whole) are closest to radicalization is deluding themselves. Just because liberals disappoint you doesn't mean conservatives aren't somehow even worse

    Remember when occupy tried to court the tea party? After a heartfelt explanation how capitalism is fucking over everyone regardless of political affiliation and how working together a better world is possible, the first reply was, "but y'all are commies. "

    Also, it's just not true that postal workers can't get fired

    If they steal or destroy mail, if they total a mail truck by doing something stupid or dangerous, if they don't show up to work without notice

    All things I saw postal workers get fired for

    They just don't get fired because people complain about them a lot like most other places

    I think the distinction between groups like liberals and conservatives is largely an unnecessary distraction fueled by the media. We can make judgments about these groups as a whole, but we shouldn't write off individuals based on which group they fall into. There are lots of workers who can be useful to the cause, even if they are never going to become the principled communists we'd like them to be. Populism is still on the rise and if we're not there to meet these people, some right-wing thinktank is going to get to them first.

    Chuds and completely misunderstanding the difference between personal and state debt, name a more dynamic duo.

    States like California are way more fiscally solvent than red states in the midwest, south, and plains.

    And the idea that pensions are bankrupting states and the USPS is a myth. Chuds often mistake the fact that some private companies underfunded their pensions (surprise surprise) with the notion that all pensions everywhere are unsustainable.
