Wait but I was told that rich white people didn’t have special privilege and that we had solved racism! I thought generational wealth had nothing to do with anything!

Christ the fact that that’s only being addressed now is insane to me. I thought it was just done quitely, I didn’t realize it was actually fully allowed.

“communities should honor the expectations they set”

Oh, really?

Also, if your paraphrasing is accurate and we’re not playing a game of telephone here, regardless of how past experiences were later treated that’s kinda like saying “you’ll probably hate this unless you’re the kind of person who’ll still only appreciate it once a few critics tell you to in a few years.”

Oh yea for sure, that I’m behind 100%. “Strategic voting” is just silencing your one chance to have a real voice based on whoever’s PR team is doing better.

It’s very simple, really. You’re correct, they simply believe that “wokeness” is socialism and kinda just lump it all together. Define it as “things I don’t like/am too stupid to understand” and then it become a synonym for so many things!

But yea they hate that companies have realized that the majority population doesn’t like racism or homophobia and that they can make more money by at least pretending to be better. They also don’t realize that capitalism actually worked in this case and the customers were able to pressure the companies into compliance.

The comment is wrong in so many fascinating ways but it’s all consistently wrong so I’m not at all surprised that it’s real.

Is there something I’m missing? They won because they got the most votes between three parties(but not a majority) and then the most again during the second round of voting between the top two. They won both times.

Ideologies aside your comment is written like you suspect foul play or something. “It’s broken because they could never win if there was competition” is just a terrible take so I assume I must be interpretting it wrong, right?

The thing about the trolley problem is that the onvious answer is, when going purely by the numbers, to pull the lever. Too many people don’t pull it(don’t vote) and act like they did the morally correct thing while the several people get smushed.

And the thing about it is that it’s not a trolley problem at all but simple harm reduction. It’s the same pool of people getting hurt, not two separate tracks. One party won’t protect as many as they should, sure, but the other party will happily throw gasoline on the lot and light ‘em up to keep themselves warm while they wait for the train to come.

People on the right still believe he was defending himself or just a kid or whatever whatever. This news shows that it was totally planned, that he willingly put himself in harms way to murder people like he was judge, jury, and executioner over some shoplifting.

It’s important that we go “oh look, he really is, undeniably, a rotten piece of filth” and can throw out all these notions of “well-intentioned” people who end up killing people like this.

“Why are my employees not respecting me? Why are they unproductive?”

“Maybe treat them with a modicum of respect?”

“Must be something in the water.”

$100 is expensive…because everyone like him fights tooth an nail to make sure that the poor stay poor.

That’s a different person. They’re passing on the message.

Hasn’t stopped them before. JD Vance straight-up admitted to lying about the cats and dogs thing and yet there they are, still supporting him.

Can just give it a simple code. We don’t need fun names for this stuff.

These words include abuse, consent, domestic violence, fluids, gender identity and LGBTQ information, she said.

Bro what. Ok ok I understand, no matter how much I disagree with it, why they think pictures of stuff are icky but c’mon, people.

I’m sorry the hwhat?!

I know that a nuke would literally create a hell on earth but there’s no way you can name the fucking thing Satan and not be the bad guy.

Gamers and still buying the same old tired shit while bitching about it, name a more…

You’re absolutely right. The number of great games to play is absurd and the access to them has never been better but for some reason most people just play mediocre games that should have been put out to pasture years ago.

Fuckin’ yikes.

“Our opinions are wildly unpopular to the point where even if a bunch of us showed up we’d struggle to make a difference so we’re gunna need to buy upvotes!”

Like…c’mon.

JD Vance: “I made it up and will absolitely create false stories to win.”

JD Vance: “Prove to me I’m lying, though.”

Bro’s literally telling everyone he’s a liar and then challenging them to prove he’s a liar like DUDE YOU ADMITTED IT.

Oh you’re good at running? Running from what, hmmm…?

You walk or you die.
