How our younger people supposed to know what’s right or wrong anymore then?
you show them. your kids will learn from you before they will learn from matt gaetz. shitty kids are usually result of shitty parenting, so if you are good person, you have a chance to raise good kid, which will, with other good kids, stand against the assholes. there is not much more you can do.
Putin is a fascist dictator and you expect him to act that way. Democratically elected politician in democratic country should behave differently and when he doesn't, it obviously result in some outrage.
and considering that index gained 90% over the course of last 5 years and 700% over the last 30, that is a strong indication of... something. probably random variance 😆.
which (if you don’t believe the daily stock market is just gambling) presumably means
macro economy does not work like that. any complex system has inertia like an ocean-liner. you turn a wheel and it turns after 10 miles.
seeing something is nice, but analysis of what you see is not necessarily withing the reach of "common sense", which is why we have scientist who study the problem for all their life and professionals in their field.
and that is why people trying to manipulate masses are trying to convince dense people not to trust the science and trust their common sense. because such gullible people can then be convinced about anything they decide to.
also @Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz's story reads like a really bad republican fan-fiction. "explosive growth" under trump and doom and despair under democratic president. come on, no administration has that big effect on your daily life. there are countries where it takes time to establish government after the elections and guess what, the day to day life still goes on even with no government present.
reminds me of the joke that in another two thousand years, future archeologists will have no idea what is the difference between butt dial and booty call.
and yet here we are with piece of shitty fiction written two thousand years ago, being passed in oral tradition and rewritten and retranslated multiple times, and some morons are trying to use it and force it upon others as a guideline how to live a life in 21st century...
