  • Yea it seems like NC was trying to fence-sit and basically got knocked off the fence by the battle of Fort Sumter.

  • Meanwhile, in the alien spaceship deployed to study our extinction:

    • And how are they responding to the heat waves, freak storms, wars and famine? What strategies are they employing?
    • They seem to be arguing about something called Barbenheimer while throwing more resources than ever at the people who got them in this mess.
    • Hmmm interesting
  • Dear lovers of capitalism,

    This is what they do with all the extra money they save by not being taxed. They lobby to make your life worse and undo the work your ancestors did to make the world a better place.

    Start considering that there may be better uses for those profits.

  • This is why all climate change predictions come with predictions for escalated war, famine, violence. Human 'civilization' may have just been a result of a resource glut.

  • Yeah I knew a guy like this. I told him Sanders himself would slap him in the face if he could. FWIW I thinks theres plenty of evidence the DNC stole the primary from Sanders.

    Voting for Trump to punish the DNC does not make strategic sense at all. The DNC establishment is rich and they benefitted from his tax breaks. The GOP accomplished destroying SCOTUS, abortion rights, and damn near NATO itself.

    Does the DNC get hurt from that? Nah. It was always a childish, emotional decision to vote for Trump to punish the DNC for its primary. The way you punish them is by building ranked choice voting your goddamn self and many states have - but that doesn't provide instant, self-righteous gratification for very little effort like voting for Trump did.

  • thanks, fixed

  • relatable

  • We mostly agree, I just need to push back against the assertion that trump started money printing post covid.

    He started loudly blaming the FED and calling for money printing in August 2019, well before COVID

    He wanted a juiced economy for the election year, nothing else

  • Uhhuh and did he have to run the money printer to get their support too? Nah? I guess we'll ignore that one (and the Epstein jab) because the repubs can't blame anyone else for those.

    I have no idea what people think a 'populist' is anymore. If you mean 'he tries to appeal to the working man' then most politicians do, and in fact the entire GOP platform is blaming the government for things (while running the government).

    If you mean he 'blames the elites while being part of it' then, duh, so do many people including Tucker Carlson have been doing for that for decades. Does that make them populists or con men?

    In studies, the predicting factor for Trump voters was authoritarianism. Seems ironic somehow.

  • ROFL imagine thinking the establishment hates Trump. Trump family is OLD OLD OLD MONEY, they are part of the establishment, kiddie-fucking Epstein clients and all.

    The fact that he convinced you he was anti-establishment just shows that he's a decent con man. I can't think of one fucking scrap of evidence that's he's anti-establishment, and he sure did pass those tax cuts for the rich and run that money printer while in office (even in 2019, pre-pandemic), and he sure did let those Jan 6 people rot in jail.

    So if you're STILL thinking he's anti-establishment I have a bridge to sell you.

  • 'treat others as you want to be treated'

  • Glad your accepting christian church took my rights to safe medical procedures in the event of an unviable pregnancy. Bunch of christians I have never interacted with felt fine doing that to me. So I feel fine hating them

    but go on claim you think abortion is murder while advocating against sex education, the thing proven to reduce abortions - and for abortion-bans, which don't reduce abortions at all, and increase deaths in child-birth. Maybe I'm starting to think that you're the murderer.

  • Well shit, worked on me. Now I want to see this murderous feminist pink acid trip

  • lol, only left-wing brains manage to be pissed when their movement grows too much

    yeah the right is guilty of sheeping around too much, but the left is the opposite - they won't unite unless they feel 100% aligned. Stop purity testing each other and embrace the guy who is just here at talk about how much their bosses suck.

  • you don't understand, every challenge your employee faces is a good chance to test them further!!

    of course don't ever try to apply this to the boss by testing their character / reaction etc when they are under stress, they're fine at it - and testing them shows a lack of trust

    always at least 2 tiers with these people

  • looks like nighttime and daytime at the same time to me. Almost an underwater aesthetic.

  • I wish everyone would embrace this view so we could start talking implementation details instead of the endless ideological warfare. These capitalists and communists might as well just make a fucking church out of it already, so much dogma.

  • Thats what SAYS he means but in actuality these guys mean a black person jogging on 'their' street.

    To clarify, I'm saying there's no way we can behave that will be accepted by the right, because they don't speak honestly about what they want and they argue in bad faith. Trying to satisfy them is a mistake. Like trying to satisfy Putin.
