Then as now, no group of people is immune from having many ruling class tricks they regret. More often than not there's only the lesser of evils and/or no opting out. I don't want to be a subject of the Queen, nor under mafia government rule, nor pay taxes, nor have a bank account that steals $11 a month I can't afford...

    Not just a phone on a line, but more and more you need a smart phone to verify your existence. I was an early adopter 2003-2010 and cut free. I've managed thus far, but may have to get one to live in the new normal.

    I'm sure there were some progressives that overlapped with conspirophiles, but I wouldn't conflate them. Heck, Jimmy Dore and Kim Iversen can't even fully embrace the idea that it's all rigged (an obvious conspiracy).

    I don't think the old way was to be racist, so much as less globalist and more nationalist. Further, the old progressives knew to be anti-war and anti-oppression - and stopping those problems would stop forcing people from their homes and lands to seeking better lives.

      I beleive /u/diogenesjunior was banned by M7. I thought he was one of the good ones, like you, among my /s/friends. M7 has had several meltdowns previously, and from what I see here it's on par. I'm preparing something that might inspire folks like you to ask questions so that we can ask for M7's justification about it. DioJr hasn't been fully clear about his role, but if innocent, IMO there would be more than enough reason at least have a serious discussion or few about it. A few others are aware, but I haven't started wrangling up a protest movement yet. I need to be more sure long before it comes to that.
