The Black Panthers essentially filled a void that the US government was never going to fill for the Black community. They also understood that for any sort of revolution to happen, they had to appeal to the working class regardless of color. Hampton was extremely young but insanely well-spoken for his age. He understood this well and never spoke in a demeaning or exclusionary way, despite how poorly the Black community was (and is) treated. The Black Panthers were responsible for creating a multitude of community programs that helped a lot of people left behind by their government and was centered around Black self-determination.
A small sample list of the programs they created:
- Free Ambulance
- Free Breakfast for Children (this program made a huge impact and is the most well known)
- Free Busing to Prisons
- Free Clothing
- Free Commissary for Prisoners
- Free Dental
- Free Employment
- Free Food
- Sickle Cell Anemia Research
- Police Patrols
- Seniors Against a Fearful Environment
By the end of 1969, free breakfast was served in 19 cities, under the sponsorship of the national headquarters and 23 local affiliates. More than 20,000 children received full free breakfast (bread, bacon, eggs, grits) before going to their elementary or junior high school. [source]

Right on. Being able to bridge those gaps is gonna make or break the future for the working class. If we have too many purity test barriers, we won’t ever be able to truly unify. Fred Hampton was a great voice when it came to reminding folks of this. The left can constantly lambast “libs” but the reality is that a lot of folks are getting educated and are willing to talk. Deterring them with gated communities and tests will only deter them. At the end of the day, we’re all on the same side.

It’s on the people to break free of their chains and revolt, but they have to stop blaming each other first, and stop misidentifying symptoms as causes.

Your comment assumes the people have real power. The parties are not the same but they also are in ways. This is the manufactured fight they shove us all into because it’s beneficial for maintaining their power and keeping us distracted. Both roads lead to a genocide continuing and they both allow the same people to maintain wealth. It’s not a blue vs red issue; it’s an us vs them one. It’s class war among the wealthy and the poor working class. You can vote blue if it helps you sleep at night, but just understand that it’s the equivalent of Maggie’s steering wheel in the Simpsons intro. The illusion changes on the surface but continues the same behind the scenes at the root, because they will never allow us to vote away their power.

Yeah it’s 100% on the people and not the constant onslaught of propaganda; the fake checks and balances that were actually escape hatches for the wealthy; the terrible propped up candidates, like the time the US population very much wanted Bernie, and instead got Hillary; AIPAC and other lobbyists permeating the government; nepotism; the ramping up of police funding; the capture of all media by the right; manipulation via companies like Meta, who have been involved in regime change and genocide before…
This is simple cause and effect which seems to be lost on a lot of people. Trump and his dipshit admin is losing traction daily when it comes to voter support because they can no longer uphold the lies. We’re now at the point where they’re telling us the pond is clear when it’s green.
But the people are 100% to blame for this one. We only had a metric fuckton of literature and predictions dating back over a hundred years telling us this would happen and that capitalism would absolutely collapse and corrupt in this way.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 3 weeks ago:
I missed the boat on this one, but I have the OG controller so I guess I’ll keep using that awkward ass thing.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - April 2026 3 months ago:
I got a bunch of the Resident Evil games on sale, so I’ve been playing RE6. It’s fun and runs incredibly well on the Deck (I didn’t know what to expect). There are way too many RE games to know what the hell is going on in the story now, but I’ve always liked 1-5, so figured I finally needed to play the rest.
- Comment on DLSS Multi-Frame Generation Is Now Easier To Enable On Steam Deck, And It Makes Gameplay Worse 3 months ago:
Last time I tried one of these filters, the game looked terrible (it was Death Stranding). It applied a weird squiggly, distorted look that wasn’t even remotely better looking. For games where you need precision and timing, I can see this making multiplayer games hell.

Hell yeah, LCD gang.

I love mine ❤️🥹
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #9 1 year ago:
I’ve been playing it on the Deck for the past couple weeks and it runs really well. I think the only thing I changed was UI text size (made it larger). It will hit some slight FPS drops in places, but it’s a manageable dip and doesn’t affect gameplay.

There might be a Decky plugin that allows you to send alerts likes that.

Wow, this is great! Thanks! I’m actually excited to pair it up with my Steam Deck for the first time.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 year ago:
I have the original Steam controller still in a box. I didn’t like it at the time, but others seem to love it. I’m wondering if I should dig it out and give it another try, or did another iteration come out that improved on it?

The trackpad is amazing on the Deck.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 1 year ago:
I’ve used the ASUS ROG Ally and I do not recommend running Windows on anything, let along a handheld. Don’t tarnish your Steam Deck with this!
- Comment on Valve confirms it'll support the ROG Ally with its Steam Deck operating system 1 year ago:
It would make the Ally usable. Windows holds it back a ton because it’s a trash OS.
There’s still some hardware issues to contend with. Like the fact that it fries SD cards due to poor card slot placement… and the control stick bug…
Let’s just say my wife has one and we recently got her a Steam Deck instead. I had to replace one of the sticks on it and still had problems. She also can’t use the SD card slot at all. It’s flawed hardware with promise after a couple revisions.
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 1 year ago:
I’ve been all over the place:
- Warframe
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Amnesia: Rebirth
- Arkham Knight
- Oblivion (runs amazing with some modding)
