No one should be required to produce just to survive. We choose to bring people into this world. No one asked to be here. Feed, clothe, house, educate, and make sure they get healthcare. Then you can ask, “how would you like to help?”

We know the answer to this, hell the Google ai knows the answer to this. 90 percent of the media in America is owned by six major conglomerates. YouTube search the major news shows repeating the same lines. They get their marching orders, true journalism turned from mainstream years ago.

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Those with wealth see a great redistribution coming, they know they got too greedy and took too much. Now they’re trying to clamp down on power because they know when the pitchforks come, their time is done. Down with the oligarch class! Lets Push for a humanist take that takes care of ALL people

Most people I’ve spoken too, have no idea just how corrupt him and his administration is. They’re forced into 10-12 hour work days with zero vacation and sick time. Then they come home and watch their daily hour of corporate owned television that has been normalizing Trump for over a decade.

Yeah this feels like one of the worst holidays to use as an example of what the original poster was trying to say. Halloween is one of the most communal times of the year.

The democrats really won’t shake their corporate donors will they? They’ll have to be replaced as soon as the orange menace has been removed. Universal care for all, universal needs for all. If you’re a corporate apologist or a billionaire apologist, you should know the people are demanding change.

Palestinians have a right to exist just as much as Israelis, you realize you’re just ignoring the deaths of a whole lot of people for your “perceived strength.” Israel would have the support of the entire civilized world if they’d drop their colonialist roots and stop killing their neighbors

You don’t know anyone that thinks the Jewish people have a right to exist while also condemning their government’s continual massacre of an entire population? Not only are they killing Palestinians, they’re indiscriminately killing any neighbor who is Muslim all while claiming victim hood.

Michael Riley @michaelriley412.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Isn’t it obvious that I don’t buy your particular brand of propaganda? You run cover for the Israeli government’s genocide and you do so by lying and obfuscating. Stop killing children. That’s it. You cant argue morality with a death toll this large that targets civilians, medics, and journalists

The Jewish people are loved and supported. The Israeli government however, has rightly been condemned the world over for committing genocide. Now since you refuse to recognize that I won’t bow to your religious stance, answer the initial argument of the Israeli government promoting genocide.

I distrust people who are using religion to shield mass murder, and you keep doing it.

You very well could be right. I tend to think at that level they all have the same mental illness. (Type of Hoarding) I think it is how they empathize with each other. Besides being terrible people, their money is their most universal thread, A bastardized version of no honor amongst thieves.

The state of Israel is rightly a pariah for their warmongering: just like the United States and just like Russia. What you support is disgusting: You are on the wrong side of history and everyone can see it. The amount of loathing I have for you specifically is impressive. You should be ashamed

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Zionism isn’t Judaism. The fact that you still conflate the two, is exactly why you are losing the narrative you want to spin. The Jewish people deserve better than their religion being co-opted by colonialists using it to excuse killing indiscriminately based on ironically skin color and religion

They’re currently leveling Gaza and have met with the current United States president to discuss what they plan on doing with it when they are done. That’s not a Nazi talking point, it’s reality. Just nasty

Stop promoting genocide, stop promoting death. Start working together or be prepared to be forgotten by history: The people are sick of you excusing this. They know what is happening, you aren’t able to lie like you used to be able to and you can’t control the narrative.

This isn’t an either or situation. The Jewish people exist, this isn’t in question. They currently occupy Israel. Whether one agrees with them doing so isn’t up for debate, everyone has a right to exist. What they don’t have a right to do, is use their religion to justify murdering people for land.

I was radicalized the day I learned about the “ideal unemployment number.” If you require someone to be employed to survive than this is a super messed up ideal. It’s even worse when you consider those same people regularly cut and gut programs designed to help those who can’t find employment.

Take a look at the destruction of Gaza, and the number of Palestinians dead, and then defend what your government is doing. Did the Palestinians take your land? Did they try and steal your home? Is Israel suddenly for a two state solution?

You should look into what Eisenhower had to say about the military industrial complex and the future of this country if it was allowed to continue unchecked. That speech and his warnings have been conspicuously absent since Nixon. We’ve always been a warmongering country. It’s how we were founded

Just like in world war 2 Americans are waiting until zero hour to actually do something about fascists. We need to show the world that we are worth helping. That starts with the vote in November, but it isn’t enough. America need to show she’s serious about holding the lawless accountable.

My apologies wasn’t implying you did. I didn’t think your statement went far enough. I think people have proven that they cannot behave themselves with that level of resources. I don’t think there should be a single billionaire, especially in a system where people die from starvation

Michael Riley @michaelriley412.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
You’re not thinking big enough. B-billionaires shouldn’t be a thing. No one should ever be allowed to collect such a massive amount of resources while others go without. It’s absurd. The quote about monkeys hoarding bananas is extremely relevant. We’ve built society on encouraging mental illness.

How do you think Trump has stolen all of the resources and power he has? The idea you wrote is how we end up with a tinpot dictator. What the democrats should do is putting out ads with actual factual information about the bill taking it to the American people. Stop letting reps control narrative

I am a radical leftist. Billionaires/wealth dragons do not deserve to exist. No one has over a billion dollars without exploiting someone. Until people no longer die from not having needs met, these social pariahs need to disappear completely. They’re no longer people, they’re caricatures of greed

Separating the two, just works to give the system what it wants. No one should live without the means necessary to survive. They keep us fighting with ourselves by making that type of distinction. Until all of us are free, none are

You’re close, it’s not old people specifically. It’s the poor. These people hate people who they view as less than them. They think if you have no money you aren’t worth anything. The wealthy’s perception of reality is exceedingly warped and based in a collective huffing of their own wastes
