This is Ben Garrison’s wife, they were never going to vote Democrat. Fucking learn some context before making stupid assumptions and maybe you will actually learn something someday.

No, as long as it doesn’t keep happening no one will give a shit (ho ho).

The Irish literally weren’t ‘white’ until the 1970’s, dunce.

Jesus Christ I’m probably whiter than you, stop whinging you cracker.

No, they are dealing with rational actors, it’s just there is no rational reason for the U.S. to actually negotiate in good faith, because they never suffer consequences for their actions. They just aren’t humane actors.

It’s because Americans have been trained to think fascism is spectacular (a myth pushed by fascists themselves) so the mundane nature of everyday fascism doesn’t really affect them.

D&D now barely qualifies as math. There isn’t even any division. That said, really good at getting people to understand statistics.

Look, I get you. I just think you are making the classic blunder of assuming people are literally born prone to being angry at the new neighbor.

What I am saying is that they are not, it is an enculturated behavior, that is again, rewarded and enforced through your life in this society. All culture, including right-wing culture, is learned and shared behavior, it just seems ‘more natural’ because it is what is rewarded in this society, and most people’s are far more interested in material outcomes than anything else. That is why that person went back to believing in shit, a single day of conversation is not going to change years of learned and reinforced behavior. Otherwise talk therapists would literally be miracle workers. It takes conscious effort for some people in this society to be leftwing. Some people just are like that. Again, facts may be a shield, but they are a weak shield, they may provide solace and comfort, but they do not provide a way to power or effective negotiation with it.

You can have facts, but obsession with facts shouldn’t define you, imo focusing instead on rewarding good social behavior around you, being open to communication and trustworthy is worth more than any single fact you can offer someone. We don’t fight anti-social behavior with facts, we fight it with demonstrating the real rewards, both mentally and emotionally, of pro-social behavior. I don’t know if this is revolutionary behavior, but I do think that, and patience helps a lot.

You are wildly over-estimating the role that things like ‘appeals to emotion’ have on the right. Most people I know who are on the left are on the left because of their emotional investment into concepts such as ‘justice’. The reason the right is in control is because the controllers of the means of production monetarily rewards right-wing (including right-wing liberal obviously) behaviors and ideology. The problem is fundamentally more complex than ‘fact-checking’, ‘ceding ground’ and ‘appeals to emotion’. Thinking that these ideological methods and arguments are the base or basis for revolution is part of the liberal ideology that we swim in on a regular basis. Not that I have a better solution at this point, mind, just that I know that these things very much do not matter in the long run.

Fair enough.

They work their asses off, but not in the same way a line worker will literally work their ass off. There is a huge fucking difference, especially since finance and engineering people usually get compensated at some point (even if it isn’t within the yearly pay cycle).

Well, as the song goes, the models will have children, we’ll get a divorce, find some more models, everything must run it’s course.

Providing maximum profit for minimum services!

Not even a juicer. A small juice bag refrigerator.

I know several people who have said that this is the first election they aren’t voting in. Idk if it’s going to matter, but these are dem voters in a swing state.

I knew he was sus when Behind the Bastards was in my Spotify recommended. He is incredibly coded as manufactured dissent.

You see my values haven’t changed! I value being elected, and being your leader so much!

We will never really know, but if true, I will bet the Russians got it and this is cope. I mean as embarrassing as getting friendly fired is, it is less embarrassing than admitting that F-16s can’t hold a candle when not fighting against early 90’s Soviet tech and farmers.
