  • The lesson is that establishment republicans can't keep playing their "Let us break our deals with you or we'll elect an extremist that neither of us want" bullshit game of chicken. Now they know that if another pertain like mccarthy thinks they can be a chucklefuck and break the deals they made with the dems, they'll be forced to deal with the psychos in their own party. It's extra pain right now in exchange for less pain later. Though this assumes establishment reps will get the memo

  • The only person reducing a people down to their leaders is you; I'm condemning putler and the individuals in power of Russia for creating this war. It's a very common tactic to try and equate calling out the individuals in charge of a country with all the people of the country, as a way to hide behind the fact that you have no legitimate argument to make. Especially when the country in question is in practice a dictatorship. You're gonna have to try a little harder than this to not get caught with your pants down, buddy.

    "Let us take over your country and murder your people or we'll try to take over your country and murder your people. And if you resist or support people fighting us from murdering and taking over, then you're the real evil person here." Good take bro, stable genius stuff right here

  • Oh fucking please, I know you're not this stupid. Russia's grievances are that putin wants to bring all of the old USSR territory back into the fold, either by literally absorbing the territory or by installing puppet states that act as a defacto Russian territory. If Russia's main intent was to avoid NATO expansion, they wouldn't be doing the things that have quite literally prompted countries who previously did not want to join NATO (Sweden, etc) into now pressing to join NATO as a response to Russia's totalitarian aggression. If Russia cared about the nazis in the Wagner group enough to invade, they wouldn't also be perpetuating mass genocide of Ukrainians during their war of aggression. If Russia thought that ethnically Russian people weren't being treated right in another country, they wouldn't be invading said country to move their own citizens into the region and then pretend that means the original region was ethnically Russian.

    Russia's bullshit has been so painfully blatant throughout this entire process that I refuse to believe you're actually this dumb. The only things to negotiate is how quickly Russia and the russian citizens it planted in Ukraine after invading need to evacuate from all of Ukraine (including Crimea), and how the Russian officials, including putler, will surrender to the UN for their crimes against humanity.

  • While you're correct, this alt-right tard is clearly talking about US dems, liberals, and progressives. He doesn't understand the words he's using but we can understand his intent.

    That being said, even when we focus on his intent and not the specific terms he used, he's still an idiot parroting disinformation

  • The original meme is definitely correct, idk why so many people were having conniption fits over it. In the double slit experiment's simplest form, not measuring the photons leads to the wave interaction pattern and measuring the photons leads to the two bars as you'd expect from particles.

    And since physicists decided to use the stupidest term possible to describe that measurement, the monkey "observing" the experiment is a play on what the actual experiment is doing

  • Imo it's not so much that corporate profit is the problem, it's how corporate profit is allowed to happen. Make stock buybacks illegal again, revert tax law to a point where dividends are a better way to profit than endlessly increasing share price, and force all businesses to be some form of business cooperative.

    It's not a perfect answer, I don't think a perfect one actually exists, but it plugs most of the biggest holes we have right now

  • Twitter made 4.5 billion in revenue, not profit. They likely weren't making profit yet, but either way we're still not privy to the company's exact profit before or after Musk's takeover, and therefore aren't privy to how much this charge would affect their margins.

    Personally I think it's yet another attempt to intentionally dismantle the company.

    If Musk wanted to dismantle Twitter he'd just shut it down. He owns the thing, he doesn't need a secret plan to fuck it up he can just do it. He's just flailing around trying to patch the holes in his $44 billion fuck up and leaning into his alt-right image of it

  • Sure, but bots aren't why advertisers pulled out of Twitter, and replacing the revenue that advertisers used to provide is the main motivator behind this change. Any other justification or claim by Musk is just his typical PR bullshit that people still seem to lap up like it's the word of god
