You underestimate how much the US values their genocide army base

This is insane. I love it.

It’s like when I found out how Lance Armstrong cheated in those bike races by giving himself blood transfusions while he was racing.

I was like “yeah, but like… still pretty impressive” lol

After watching how hard he faked taking a puff on Joe Rogan I kind of doubt he’s on any drugs that aren’t prescribed.

“I make gayness look like Mormonism.”

Yeah I never understood that part. I’d have deep throated that blue pill so fast.

No I get that, but I’m not going to pretend that there isn’t a stark difference of trends between boomers and millennials.

I used to believe that. The issue is that people legitimately don’t agree on what the solution is. And those solutions vary wildly, and many of them are actively more dangerous than our current precarious situation. I can’t march on the enemy next to someone who believes climate change is a lie spread by China, and they likely will have entirely different ideas of who the enemy actually is than I do, for instance.

I hate that 60’s civil rights argument.

The people fighting for civil rights were a small minority, especially within the white population, and were almost universally hated. There is a stark difference in the way our generation and that generation viewed equality and civil rights.

Even I think the NRA is evil, and I like guns.

I loved season 2

I’m really sad that Max Landis is a piece of shit because now we don’t get to see Dirk Gently season 3.

HPL actually repented his stark conservatism and racism in his later years but yeah.

The way you’re trying to frame this is magical thinking where wealth disparity within our society doesn’t come with sets of nuanced issues that don’t directly effect the wellbeing of society as a whole. After a certain rate of wealth disparity, for instance, those with the most can directly control those with the least with any number of creative ways that mostly amount to “I have money so I can buy people.”

From controlling government officials, to controlling individual level situations like law enforcement and judiciary measures so that they can essentially do whatever they want, which is never used for the betterment of others and always to the detriment of the masses. To leave these things out of a conversation about wealth disparity and quality of life is just disingenuous man.

Bruh, not to shit out an old conservative adage, but that money has to come from somewhere. You’re missing the entire nuances of how the monetary system works, and the whole argument of where the money should come from for these things. A country where wealth disparity is increased because the tax comes from the middle class looks very different from one where it comes from the upper classes and massive corporations.

Alright well have fun trying to shame leftist voters into voting for your candidate they hate again. Worked so well with Hilary.

Canada has a first past the post system and we have several parties. This is a uniquely American issue.

That is such a simplified and reductive view of the way democracy in the states works. This attitude towards your political system over the last few generations is why your country is even in this situation in the first place bud.

It is not the fault of the voters that the democrats can’t put forward a candidate that makes someone who is generally likely to vote Democrat not want to throw up in their mouth. If Trump gets in again that falls squarely on the democrats and Biden for constantly doing abhorrent bullshit like this.

Lol seriously though. My jaw literally dropped reading the comment you just replied to. I’m so glad I don’t live in the states. That attitude is an absolute embarrassment to the rest of the world.
