“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."
An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
HAA Alabama, the state that’s below the us average for every good metric.
The Alabama Senator is just projecting
Has Alabama Senator ever actually been to Alabama or LA?
At least Californians family tress have branches
Lol Alabama family trees are more like telephone poles
People in ramshackle hovels shouldn’t throw stones.
anarchists are in charge
Anarchists.
In charge.
Roll that around in your mind a bit.
As an anarchist, the only thing I want to be in charge of is my morning piss and my after coffee shit.
Anarchist: steals the throne and adds it as just another seat around the table where everyone’s voices matter
That’s not anarchist? Burn the chair and the table. There you go.
Your definition of anarchy is what they try to sell on Fox News. That’s not what it actually is. Anarchism is actually a very structured system that opposes a ruling class controlling people and grants more freedom to the individuals to govern.
Fox News just takes the most extreme way in which anarchism can go wrong and promotes that as the default state.
I want to extend on this.
Anarchist thought is the awareness that true control/authority is an illusion and entities have an inherent freedom to disobey and choose according to their own will but also that they have to live the consequences of any actions.
To create order in anarchy is to realise that your own interests co-align with those of others and that working together to build a better world where we navigate anarchy rather then dismiss it is key to create a condition where people can flourish and mutual freedom and respect can emerge naturally.
grants more freedom to the individuals to govern
I like how
hillbilly + self-govern = doctors quittingduring COVID. We’re gonna be decades getting back to 10 years ago, but it’s good to know what label to assign to hayseed epidemiology.
Why are we trying to get back to anything from a decade ago? Shit sucked back then too. Let’s try something new
E: just wanted to add, im an anarchist that’s literally working towards medical school so that I have the knowledge and autonomy to provide free, real healtcare as part of my praxis. We aren’t all hillbillies, and even if we were that’s still a bullshit take
I mean not exactly, anarchism is about no hierarchy meaning its actually very involved with hearing all the voices. Destruction is not inherently anarchistic
Even ancaps wouldn’t burn it.
That’s not what the British/French aristocracy who bastardized and propagandized the concept of Anarchism want you to believe.

I know that anarchism revolves around dismembering institutions, but that’s a perfectly good chair!
Anarchism in practice is mostly finding perfectly good chairs in the dumpster then asking around if any one needs it.
Replace chair with bike, banana, computer, etc. and you have described probably what 90% + of anarachist movements actually spend their time doing. Oh and gardening. Anarchists often spend quite a bit of time gardening too.
I so badly want to get into gardening and grafting fruit onto trees around town, but I have a brown thumb. When I ignore my yard, I grow the most gorgeous fields of flowers, trees, and other plants mildly toxic to my dogs. But anytime I actually try… I’ve killed succulents…
If you really want to, hit me up. I’ve got about 40 trees and several very large garden beds.
Maybe start small with a tomato in a pot in a sunny spot.
I’m seriously going to hold you to that. If you recommend tomatoes, I’ll start with that, thank you!
Makes perfect sense… If you have the IQ of Tommy Tuberville.
That’s a thing, but it’s just direct democracy
Sounds like something an idiot would say, hopefully people with that intellect level never have real authority…oh… I kinda said that oh in my head like a Plinket review does
One of my biggest reasons for being an anarchist is that idiots shouldn’t be in charge.
And everyone is an idiot.
Stick to football, bro.
Having seen Tuberville as a college football coach, that’s a hard no. Tommy is an idiot and an asshole.
I’ve been to both states, and California comes waaaaaaaay out on top. Alabama is a rural shithole.
My cousin lives in Alabama and she’s the best lay I’ve ever had.
Don’t be coy, admit that she’s your sister.
No she lives in Mississippi and she’s third place.
OMG. Who is second?
Nan the goat.
I think you meant “Nan: The G.O.A.T.”
¿Porqué no los dos?
Roll tide
It’s funny how much better Mississippi is and how bad Mississippi is.
They need California to suck so they can feel better about Alabama.
a state known for cousins marrying cousins calling out a succesful economy.
Alabama High School Biology Lesson: We is first world cuz we is all first cousins.
California is the 4th largest economy in the world independently.
Without California participating in the US, China is the leader of the world economy.
At this point I dont think anyone could fault California for taking their ball and going home. God knows the western half of the country would probably go with them, solving any potential water issues.
It feels like were headed for civil war 2.0
The western half should join Canada.
Canamericanada
And the Republic of ｒａｃｉｓｍ
NE states will join.
It would be like a horseshoe. Canada, west coast, and new england.
And new Mexico and Minnesota.
One of the handful of US states who’s unofficial motto is, unironically, “Thank God for Mississippi” really has no room to pass judgement on any state not named Mississippi.
currently the 4 states vying for #1 worst state, florida, alabama, texas, missouri.
I thought it was Mississippi and Arkansas at the bottom. Although not for everything, growing up my home state of SD was consistently 51st in the nation for teacher pay (after Puerto Rico). Also one county over had the highest suicide rate in the world 🙃
Louisiana would like a word.
Was going to say, despite being crazy, FL is actually not as bad off as AL, MS, LA, MO, AR, & WV!
I mean top 4 worst states has to include Florida and Texas. Full stop. The other two are up for debate is all I’m saying.
Alabama talking shit about Cali is hilarious, ranked the 5th worse state here for good reasons https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?region=AL%2CCA
Not to dissuade anyone from thinking that California is a much better state than Alabama; but those rankings are terrible. Florida ranked #2 best state in education, #1 in economy, and #13th in crime? Yeah, that’s not biased at all USNews.
Lol, I appreciate you giving a more thoughtful eye than I did.
Its depressing that this is considered newsworthy, and not utterly embarrassing for both parties involved to resort to middle school one-upping.
Don’t you fucking dare try to “both sides” this shit.
One side is eagerly throating fascisms cock, the other isn’t - regardless of any other flaws, there’s a clear difference.
Your ignorant, no critical thinking applied parroting of a stupid inaccurate phrase hurts all of us. Be better or don’t speak at all.
Don’t throw stones if you live in a garbage house 🤷🏻♀️ not a hard concept
You know, like two months ago everyone was crying that Democrats don’t do enough fighting back against Republicans and your comment has me thinking “well this is why they didn’t.”
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
People always say don’t sink to their level but the problem is you need to communicate with people at their level in a way they understand.
Making headlines by having the equivalent of a twitter fight does nothing to prevent harm. You know what would? Newsom ordering the national guard to return to base and reminding them that they will be prosecuted under state law for following unlawful orders.
Why not both? I imagine he’d considered that already and probably found that it wouldn’t pan out but we don’t exactly know that.
Alabama calling another state a third world country is highly amusing
Even though he is Alabama’s senator, he doesn’t currently, nor did he reside full time in Alabama!
North and South reloaded. Clash of cultures and mindsets within one country. Well… 🤷🏼♂️
Tried to search for “Alabama third world.” Seems the UN investigated that a few years ago.

I have even worse news. The money allotted to fix that sewage problem was considered DEI, and taken back.
Gavin has stepped up.
I never thought they’d manage to make Gavin Newsom of all people look decent, but that’s just what happens when you live in the Dumbest Timeline™️ I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
He’s an opportunist. I like what he’s doing rn, but not the man or the reasons he’s doing it.
The US as a whole is a third world country. Low average income, nearly non-existent health insurance, incredibly bad education (system), high wealth gap, fascism, insanely bad labor laws, the list goes on and on…
basically just a russia with a gucci belt.
Low median* income. The income distribution is skewed since a handful of people have all the money.
Also don’t forget this:
You’re right 👍
If you’re going to be pedantic, please be correct.
Median is a type of average, as are mean and mode.
I’m not being pedantic, you’re just wrong. The average income in the US is deceptively high, whereas the median is quite low. This difference (or skew) is a sign of inequality.
The arithmetic mean, also called the average, or the expected value, is not the same type of calculation as the median.
There are many types of means or averages (harmonic, geometric, etc), but they all require a summation, an integral for continuous random variables and sigma notation for discrete. The median is the middle value. Totally different.
If you want me to link you to a dictionary definition that explicitly says what I’m telling you, I will. But I hope you know just repeating yourself is not rather convincing.
-
If someone checks “US average income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are rich.
-
If someone checks “US median income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are poor.
Median is not the same as average. Also, we don’t check math definitions in a dictionary, since we are not in middle school.
