Scoliosis gang rise up..!

Americans: yes, we’re in capitalistic hell, we know, we hate it so much, everything is complete shit, we have shitty capitalistic healthcare and capitalistic education, everything in America is fucking racist, we hate it so fucking much, and our government is completely fucked and corrupt, WE KNOW, every day is a living nightmare and gets progressively worse, we KNOW, America sucks fucking ass, ok we know, we get it, AMERICA SUCKS. WE GET IT.

*plants hands on shoulders and makes intense eye contact* Yes.

My brother in Christ, I’ve dreamed of living in England/Ireland/New Zealand/Australia/Denmark for my whole life. I can’t even afford to move from a shitty state where I don’t have any family to the state 6 hours away where it’s still shitty but at least my family is there. I can’t afford to move down the street.

Americans: Tired, exploited, terrified wage slaves, yes, WE KNOW. I trust that’s what you were about to say instead of shitting on us AGAIN. We. Are. All. Scared. We are all exhausted, and one bad day away from anything we have being taken from us. Our jobs, our homes, our families, our lives, ALL of it. We hate what our government does because whatever they’re doing to you, they’re doing to us as well, just more quietly. We hate it, we’re disgusted by it, and WE KNOW, and the reason we don’t do anything to change it is because our government has grown too powerful. The US military is the largest, most well-funded on the planet and they do not hesitate to roll it out on us if there’s even a hint of organized dissent. Look at Ferguson. Look at Occupy Wall Street. Look at every major protest in the last twenty years and tell me what happened, and then understand the scale of the rebellion it would take to make anything change. And then understand that we are not organized enough, not energized enough, not educated enough to do that, and that all of that is very, very deliberate. At best we are capable of organizing regional protests and that. is. not. enough.

We bumping up the price to $15,000 for 2026.

YOO SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE

There do seem to be some limits, however, as far as I can tell, anyone can ship in a box of markers. “Any sturdy cardboard box with minimal outer markings will work. The more markers you ship, the more efficient this program will be. We suggest a minimum of 100 markers and a maximum of up to 40 pounds.”

Their whole things work with used, donated crayons they melt and make new ones to donate to children’s hospitals.
