He was a scumbag union buster long before he “went crazy”. His parents used slave labor to mine emeralds before his company built cars. The people of this country will believe any bubbleheaded legend of a good rich guy not look him up until he shows his ass. Too little, too late.

I used mainstream sm forever, but there came a breaking point for my mental health. Those platforms are made to keep people glued to them and I got tired of the dependency and the lost of focus/memory.

His support for invading Iraq was pretty bad.

😂😂😂 This is sleight of hand, yall. Don’t follow any of this.

Is this meant to suggest that reactionaries aren’t work-shy as hell? That would be a lie. They all want some bullshit media career as much as any liberal.

Is “dying” the right word? They’re struggling, but I won’t be surprised if this administration or the next bails Meta out, since fb and insta are essentially public services for a lot of people, as much as I hate that. The smart thing for the fed government to do is to nationalize Meta’s platforms.

Am I supposed to be mad about this? The only jobs available to most of them basically constitute slavery.

So sick of hearing about CK. How could anyone listen to him? He was always talking out the side of his neck.

Can’t remember the last time I had my throat slipped. I think about it and touch myself at night.

It’s a Debian fork with the option not to use systemd. I’ve been using it for months without a single crash. Everything starts up quick. I like it. Any linux without systemd is worth a shot, if you like fast and stable over familiar.

Imagine if this guy took a crack at MX.

Names and addresses.

Yeah, but most Trump sign houses are suburban McMansions and historic urban estates. Like we keep saying, the die hard MAGA people are thoroughly bourgeois and have been all their lives.

True, there’s no reason to have everyone working at the level of automation we’ve reached, but some people think it’s the 1950s or something.

If I had to guess, it’s probably because for a lot of people being a NEET is depressing state of being. No direction or control over your life and you’re at the whims of whatever happens to your family, economically. People with nothing to look forward to tend to wig out over petty shit like one less tendie.

I was hoping she could fix me.

I didn’t mean to imply that liberalism and conservativism are completely indistinguishable, but rather that conservative thought generally represents the right wing of liberalism in the west. Sorry if this was unclear.

This omits what an earlier comment pointed out: that your typical MAGA/MAGA-adjacent “conservative” public figure is essentially fascist.

Chef’s kiss emoji on this one. Absolute legend.

The carrot thing isn’t totally untrue, but it’s a bit more complex. If you’re skilled in a trade, you probably have more of a chance of not being financially uprooted than someone with a white collar degree whose job will be AI’d in the next 5 years. That said, to make decent money in a trade, it helps a lot to have a degree from a trade school.

If you want a job as a radiology tech, what hospital is giving them out with no degree?

He seems like an outlier in a few major ways. One is his temperament. He’s crass and made of bluster. One is the Republican party, which is essentially fascist in the 21st century. That gives them a self-destructive character that can be taken advantage of by the Dems, if they ever decide to grow a spine. The 3rd is all the cameras on Trump, which tend to send liberals to social media so they can lament the awful things he does without having to take political action or hold the Dems accountable for doing a lot of the same things, but with less haste and news coverage.

After that, the differences kinda dry up.
