Those workers are disappearing. Their jobs are gone. And Zink, who voted for Trump in 2024, is watching his customer base—and his livelihood—vanish before his eyes.

“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,” Zink told Politico reporters as he surveyed the damage. “You cannot fire our firefighters. You cannot fire our trail crews. You have to have selective logging, water restoration, and healthy forests” (1).

    I was raised in a really abusive household. I wasn’t taught compassion as a kid at all, I wasn’t even shown love, respect or kindness.

    Do you think a Japanese boy wanting to be a woman had any different upbringing?

    I am just educated enough to know that fascists do not desire the praxis of compassion, and refuse to learn it either.

    I should just treat them as tools or expendable.

    Fascism 101.

    As a black anarchist, I want you to learn being a “terrible piece of shit” to others is wrong. And in order to break out of that “cruel” and “shaming” culture, you need to admit when you’re wrong. That you’re wrong to be terrible at others. That cruelty is wrong. That shaming only works if you teach the path of redeeming oneself. That is how we grow.
    That is how we solidify.

    Fascist need to look themselves as the terrible losers they see other are in order to grasp their error. Otherwise they’ll continue being cruel and terrible.

    I think the issue is that you’re ignoring how many of us were compassionate after the first election. Some saw successes, most reelected for cruelty.

    I am saying to you, as someone that also learned compassion the hardway too, they do not want to learn this way the second time. They want total annihilation of their enemies, because they are not the rulers. Once you comprehend that they have refused compassionate focused therapy, there is only one other language they will respond to. And it’s unfortunate they rechoose this path.

    You claim to be an anarchist and yet you advocate for prisons

    I claim to want rehabilitation. What do I do with folks that do not want rehabilitation?

    you are beginning to really wind me up.

    Comrade, if you are just beginning, you’re extremely late to the memo. The memo started in January 6, 2021.

    Wake up, they want us all dead.
