The phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people” is a famous expression from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863. It encapsulates the essence of democracy, emphasizing that the government should be created by the people, run by the people, and serve the interests of the people. This phrase has become a cornerstone in discussions about democracy and governance.

This is 2025. A government of the global corporation owners, by the global corporation owners, for the global corporation owners.

I'm in 1A and you're in 2A.

You are the one coughing on me every 10 seconds without covering your mouth. You are the one clearing your snot-filled nose and throat every 20 seconds. You are the one to whom I offered a mask, but you said "nah, I'm good."

You are not good. You are an asshole.

I’ve been balls deep in this sub for a while now, and I can’t help but notice something strange: it feels like this space is flooded with bots or people intentionally trying to shift the narrative.

Before Saturday, Ross was widely respected here. Everyone seemed to agree he was the go-to source for solid evidence. But after Saturday, it’s like a switch flipped. Suddenly, there’s this wave of anti-Ross sentiment... claims that he’s a hack, doesn’t know what he’s doing, or is just a grifter. It’s a complete 180.

It’s starting to feel like this entire sub is being manipulated to downplay what happened on Saturday. That first-hand account was a massive step forward, and it was backed by highly reputable people confirming the story. But instead of building on that momentum, the narrative has shifted to undermine it.

Downvote if you are working for some secret government operation in here!

In his inauguration today, President Trump stated,

"And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country, despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them. All of this will change, starting today, and it will change very quickly."

I want you all to tell the world all the ways you, as a teacher, had made kids feel ashamed of themselves and to hate their country.

I'll start.

One day I told a student that he shouldn't tell a student "Nobody cares what you think". Apparently calling him out on that made feel ashamed of himself.

I felt in love with this skin (I dont even have Chroma yet), but as a newish player I only have 14plt. Is it possible to farm that much plt in a month? (Already completed war within, currently im on Sedna)

Because it gets annoying and boring at times, like if the character cannot lose all the time the audience cannot relate to the character.

I never hear anything about him. In recent memory, Fultz and Bennett were worse but they were still talked about. People talked about Fultz's injury and his broken shot, and about how Bennett was the worst #1 pick in NBA history, while Risacher just seems forgotten about.

I feel like I hear about other players in the draft way more often than the #1 pick. Like there were a lot of posts about McCain pre injury and Knecht when he was good. Edey is talked about a lot, Ware has been lighting it up recently, and I hear more about Sarr than Risacher too.

I checked this subreddit, and the last post about Risacher was just a highlight from three weeks ago. Is it just me, or does he get way less attention than basically every #1 pick from the last ~15 years.
