[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4611592, member: 56035"] i havent heard anything about BLM protestor manipulation aside from the undercover cops who try and instigate riots. i have heard about paid protestors before. it seems fairly organic, its obvious america has police problems and race problems, BLM started 6 years ago now and we all know how the ruling elites responded particularily trump. but i dont think its just about race and the police, the country has obviously gone to :censored:s even more since corona started so i think that plays into it. revolutions are a numbers game u need 1% of the population in the streets. i forget what else. ive gone to a monsanto protest and i hardly knew anything about them because i forgot. i think they use their market power to :censored: over farmers. and they have unsafe products. i remember where to look. hopefully these protestors know too. i agree with u im on the forum too much. i dont believe in working more than 40 hours a week, and i dont even believe in working 40 i think the labour movement settled for too little. they should cut hours now, and lower costs, and then they could hire more people and bring unemployment down. props to u, that sounds rough. having grown up in a city with an overinflated housing market my plan is to try and move somewhere cool with cheap housing. ive always been nervous about post secondary and tuition too, im lucky i didnt sign up for anything dumb and i want to do cardiology tech and then leave the country. donating is tough i would argue because we live in a society of greed and cynicism. one of the places i donated to had someone matching donations which is pretty rare for them so i went all in and my donations was one of the biggest. if i moved out, then i couldnt have done that and it wouldve gone to rent, or my donation wouldve been smaller. people dismiss me for a variety of reasons on the forum. doesnt really matter i like talking about it whether we agree or not. one of which is because it was taboo to talk about socialism until last 10 years. another is probably like the big short movie where theres probably something wrong with us where we dont know how to discuss minority opinions like the housing market is a bubble, or civilization is headed for collapse. probably what u said too about me living at home but thats illegitimate as far as im concerned the housing market is :censored:ed, labour power is pretty weak, and the company i worked for had major control over the market and had record profits i think and likely ripped us off. some of it is people agree or disagree with someone based on the messenger and not the message. im not a master at wording things: like i dont phrase things a certain way to make people more likely to agree with me (the death tax is one example). maybe im wrong but i look at our system as meaningless. i like the idea of killing 2 birds with one stone, so that means taking whatever opportunity i have to act and spread consciousness. so i got a question for you: you have these political and economic beliefs so what do you do related to them besides voting?
