  • The United States is a righteous, fair, and just country.

    This one really fucked me up as I got older. In school they just brainwashed us into believing we were always the good guys and we always got into wars to help save people from oppression... Then you find out we only ever get into wars to stop people from choosing the wrong kind of government that won't let US businesses exploit their resources or people... We never act out of kindness or solidarity.

  • This is probably one of the few places my job doesn't do it horribly.

    Any gifts that aren't perishable get saved up and then before Christmas we do a grab bag type thing where we all take a number and pick a "present" from the swag we've been sent.

    The only way they do it "wrong" is that the perishables (usually cookies) always go to the office and we never get them on the factory floor! I want cookies DAMNIT!! Lol

  • It's a failure of terms used in US politics. When we say "left" and "right" we pretty much exclusively are talking about their position in respect to one another as opposed to the actual policies the parties hold.

    Republicans are much more "conservative" (right wing) than Democrats (liberals) are, so the Republicans are the right and the Democrats become the "left" as they aren't as conservative and therefore they are "to the left" of Republicans.

    If you were to look at global definitions as to what it means to be a left wing party, Democrats really don't fit there.

  • but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

    This is literally the only realistic outcome I expect of this. Capitalists will claim the right to the entirety of the profits generated because they "own" the AI, will have by then already destoryed any social safety nets in order to have their taxes reduced, and people who can't find work will be left to die.

  • I was thinking about that this morning in regards to Ukraine to be honest. We in the US NEVER do something because it's the right thing to do, we do it for business interests. Trump made that more clear with his demands for a minerals deal in writing for continued military assistance in the war against Russia. Any other administration would "know" continued access to those minerals was implied with Ukraine retaining its independence.

  • Hey Republicans, can you say dictator?

    Dick tater

    This is what a dictator does. He dictates and the subservient do as they are told without defying his order so that they might, oh I don't know, try to represent you and your interests?

    Y'all love to claim you love America and yet you're oh so eager to throw away the concept of THREE COEQUAL BRANCHES. Not one dick tater, a rubber stamp court that can be ignored, and room full of clowns that write the decrees of the dick tater to make it all legal like.

  • It's definitely frustrating. He's one of those "I'm always right" types and the propaganda is just confirmation bias for him, so if it reenforces something he already wants to believe. It's "I'm right, and they back it up with their "facts" on Fox, so obviously it's correct."

    Honestly most of us live in a mirror reality. We see "them" as misinformed and brainwashed, and they see us in exactly the same way. He won't believe me because he believes I'm just misinformed.
