More police. But somehow woke this time.

    People are being purposefully divided by the ruling class into meaningless containers like Democrats/Republicans, White/black, and tenant/landlord

    We're all on the same side and they know they can't beat us if we all put aside our differences and band together

    We need to focus on real issues that affect our every day lives, like Russian and Chinese imperialism. And also the crazyyyy North Koreans

        If you see a Hexbear account that is older than like a month posting a take like this, it's a bit. The unironic ones don't last long because they get sent straight to the poster gulag

        The twists is the last sentence. Honestly a good set up, GaveUp had me going until I read the last sentence twice.

          I don't know, I think by the end of that first line it was clear that something was seriously awry. One of those three divisions is not like the others.

      I'm not on the same side as landlords I-was-saying

    “Very sad to hear that. 😔 It’s unfortunate that this is the current state of our country. White supremacy is a huge problem here and no one should be treated this way. 😔” [offers no solutions to the issue]

        Also "news" sources aren't required to tell the truth because something something entertainment something something no reasonable person would believe us.

        I wouldn't trust them, or local police. Afaik the FBI is the least sketchy source of crime stats, and then maybe there are some independent researchers that are okayish.

        talking heads

        unless talking about the band, plz no. talking heads will say crime is bad because the corporate overlords want more cops.

      I don't know about crime generally, but retail has seen dramatic staffing cuts and as a result, shoplifting is up for sure. No data, just reporting from the ground. It's not a problem when they're subtle, but the assholes who push you around to get to the liquor are stressful.

        It's hard to generalize, but I think violent crime is falling from the recent spike, while property crime is stable or even up a little (shoplifting, as you said).

    Same as plenty of socialists I've seen lately, vote blue no matter who

    Don't know why I didn't see it coming that everyone would fall in line to save democracy again

      You almost have to admire, in a sickening way, the insane way the US co-opted an anti-police racial equality movement. They were able to use it to justify even more police funding! It drives me insane that most americans will fall for this every single time.

    The preacher man says it's the end of time

    He says that America's rivers are going dry

    The interest is up, the stock market's down

    You guys got to be careful walking around here this late at night

    This, this, this is the perfect place to get jumped

    But do you think the end of the world is coming?

    No; so says the preacher man, but I don't go by what he says
