14·28 days agoThis is the second time I have seen people doing free marketing on the Fediverse for companies.
If you think the marketing team did not know what they are doing, I have a bridge to sell you.
Thanks for the context!
We all still live under a dictatorship of capital and the capital owning class are more powerful than any politician.
Correct, but it is nice to have hope instead of giving up.
I am glad there is finally candidates, that are not funded by corpos, running in some areas.
I have learned the best way to remember how to spell restaurant, for me, is to pronounce the Spanish word for it, “restaurante”.
If you remove the ‘e’ it sounds the same as it is spelled.
It also requires a person to change their worldview, which takes time. Don’t forget to give people grace while they are exploring their biases.
(I am aware that gaining political sentience is very late at this time, but better late than never)
Yeh, but you gotta take it one step at a time with people who thought politics doesn’t affect them and are just becoming aware.
If you come at them too hard, they will get scared. I find it easier to point to the things the current admin is doing as an easy example of, “This is not ok.”
More people are waking up with every evil thing this administration does.
Also the only metric that equals administration bad for some people is changing: Gas prices.
Progressive Politics fans when they see US candidates presenting an alternative to the status quo and giving people something to hope for:
6·6 months agoThey will pay the price of having to plea for a bailout from the administration (using taxpayer money).
10·8 months ago^ This may give some idea of how small the amount was for the launch.
I hope the Overton window shifts that far to the left some day.
70·11 months ago“Go, Nintendo! Use Lawsuit!”
24·1 year agoThey came for the Gamers, but I did not speak out because I was not a Gamer.
The evidence in the case revealed that Smith told investors he would eventually sell the bonds and they would get exponential returns on their investments. Following Smith’s fraudulent pitch, the investors were told to wire funds to Caldwell bank accounts. Caldwell, Smith and others divvied up the proceeds and Caldwell used approximately $900,000 to cover personal loans, mortgages and credit cards and pay other expenses. Smith spent his $1.08 million cut to pay off loans, buy two luxury sport utility vehicles and make a down payment on a vacation property.
I don’t think it is an irrational statement to say that any person who pleads guilty to this evidence shouldn’t be put in a major position of influence.
But it seems like you have your mind set that blind faith is actually ok sometimes. The alternative was the primary point I was trying to make.
So are the remaining people not turning a blind eye to the public documentation of his deceit because they have “faith” that he is the best person to lead them?
Court documents alleged Caldwell, using his position at Houston’s Windsor Village Church, and a financial advisor sold $3.5 million in worthless pre-revolutionary Chinese bonds to the elderly and other vulnerable investors.
This is why I put “blind” in bold. He was literally caught red handed defrauding the elderly. That is where the blindness of the congregation comes in. They choose to ignore the glaring breach of trust and allow him to retain his position of influence.
What do you mean? Don’t you know that talented artist can be replaced by The Slop Generator and nobody will tell the difference? Upper management sure as hell can’t!
