Hey now! I like American Football. It brings joy to millions of Americans and to the players lucky enough to get paid to do it and not have catastrophic brain damage.

Plenty of things cause brain damage. Most Zs and Millenials on the left support the legalization of drugs.

War causes much more brain damage and mental problems than football and we have far more soldiers than football players. Abolish war!

Looks like the US is remaking the Soviet Union. Thought that's what Putin was supposed to be doing.

 

Please remove Zionist propaganda when you encounter it!

 

If you know there was some product and buying obviously helps fund a sketchy lifestyle, you can compare that businesman's faulty morals and weigh it against corporate boardrooms. The guy selling stolen jewelry probably has more of a conscience than the company.

Economics is often about externalizing costs that are natural or ones that are moral, emotional and human. I don't think a single boardmember would ever see their resource extraction through and witness human pain and anguish the way agents of black markets do.

I believe your average sweatshop operator is the criminal you'd be comparing the businessman down the capitalist chain of command and everyone knows than humans are the least moral to traffick. Even if it's just labor trafficking it's a bad look. Some poor Bangladeshi overseer probably takes the fall far too often. Not always because his crapshack factory collapsed.

I don't really watch much YT and only know of Bread Tube by hearing people criticize it. Although I've heard of Contrapoints and was shown a short skit that was unremarkable

Yeah that's unfortunate as I've checked into it. He opposed the installed president but also opposed Aristide. I spent too much time checking into that

Edit: I'm deciding to leave this up as there's some good info. It looks like he opposed empire but wanted to personally profit. The Haitian earthquake brought out all sorts of shadiness

 

First off the US sponsored coups in Haiti in 1991 and 2004

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Uphold_Democracy

https://haitisolidarity.net/in-the-news/the-final-chapter-has-still-not-been-written-remembering-the-2004-coup-in-haiti/

Over 300k people died in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake

Wyclef Jean attempted to run for president against the US backed leader in 2010 but was declared ineligible by election officials go gave no reason, and suffered harassment and death threats from political opponents in Haiti.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/22/wyclef-jean-haiti-presidential-election

He was also widely criticized by celebrities in the US who claimed he wasn't Haitian enough and had no experience. Among those who criticized him was the founding member of the Fugees, Pras

It gets weirder because shorlty after the earthquake Pras decided to do to side with two empres? Which ones, well the US and China of course. He was convicted on ten counts including a failed conspiracy to funnel money from the Malaysian businessman Jho Low and the government of China to Obama in 2012 and Donald Trump in 2016. He was convicted on 10 counts including conspiracy, fraud, witness tampering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China.

https://hiphopdx.com/news/fugees-rapper-pras-found-guilty-of-political-conspiracy-faces-20-years

It's kinda wild really. WTF. There was a Fugees reunion concert while Pras was fighting his legal battle. I wonder what Lauryn Hill thought of her bandmates political activities, and if Wyclef and Pras got along. Now that the empire had fucked both of them.

Wyclef famously sang: If I was President, I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday, Burried on Sunday, They go back to work on Monday

I wonder what he's up to now.

I'm not a pacifist but I've given it plenty of thought and I can't take a human life.

 

The point of open carrying machetes is as a widespread protest movement.

So the basic premise is the national machete org is less lethal than tbe NRA and The Dickhead cops. So many cops have a penile haircut. Enough about that. This is best worn at night but on well lit streets. Every trans queer and self IDd oddballs, neurodiverse people should be macheted up n ready to giddy-up.


Of course this should remained shealthed unless someone tries you. it's less likely with the machetes. Btw these are "ghost machetes." they're not traced. They're a deterrant. Escalate to de-escalate homie.


I tend to film cops dealing with the unhoused. These guys all have knives on them. Legally they cannot be over 2.5in and confiscation and cutting em loose seems to be the cops' play of any length. I keep a 3.5in spring assist on my keychain. If I'm going out late with low light I keep a 5in spring assist in case I fumble with the keys. That is completely concealed..


If stopped by cops explain the protest movement and if you're light enough you'll most likely get it confiscated. You might get a misdemeanor citation which may go on your record but nobody cares about misdemeanors which is what plea bargains are for .. and that's for overcharged with a felony.



Robberies tend to be point blank. You're just as likely to thwak a potential armed robber as shoot him with your traceable gun and have to deal with BS.. One thwak with the machete and if your face isn't blasted off you let someone live. Maybe get a free gun. Maybe everything stripped off you or killed. Life is a series of gambles. Don't carry near schools ..


My sketch was too coked and jittery. It says NMA: If pepper pellets and tasers are less lethal so are machetes. I got this idea off a fat $20 bag of coke. Like over 300mg


We third world now.

Edit: Structure

3,000 innocents vs 5,000 American soldiers KIA vs 500k--2mil dead Afghanis and Iraqis...

I stand with Flava Flav--911 is still a joke

 

Basically all I can think of for Red/Brown are the liberal members of the Boogaloos, Tucker on Ukraine but I'm not up to speed on this potential problematic alliance thst seems class reductionist. What are your takes? Is it because anti-govt leftists will search for allies. Do y'all consider Ancaps as Brownies. The biggest Red/Brown alliance I see is the toilet bowl after taco Tuesday
