that’s not what reactionary means

$17.5 million, or around 2 percent of the previous year’s budget of $837 million. It was the second-largest departmental operating cut to come out of the city’s 2024-25 fiscal year budget, which shaved funding from the majority of city departments — but not the police.

the article does say the percentage… and maybe it’s insane to cut their budget at all, given california’s recent fire problems, and they should’ve increased it by about 100%….
so, given the difference between -2% and +100%, and half the city burning down, it’s a pretty big deal.

i wouldn’t just go around telling people that…

no no, let’s just pretend that everyone left of ultra-right are neoliberals… a very narrowly defined political ideology… everything else just falls under the straw man of neoliberalism…

no. and tor was originally funded by the navy…
….

it wasn’t liberals warning them

i agree… i just don’t think that’s an inherent thing in women and it’s a symptom of a sick society…

if men display feelings, they’re seen as bitches by men, and weak by women (exceptions exist, but generally speaking).

basically, a piece of toxic masculinity….
men are only allowed to display emotions of anger or mild happiness.
i think this is a big reason why sports are so popular… it’s more about camaraderie than anything else.
also why they like to get drunk and say “i love you man” and all that mushy stuff.

in a nutshell: because they’re taught to be that way.
