Complaining about HR is also how capitalist would-be tyrants who resent the strictures of bureaucratic shareholder capitalism launder their class interests into something resembling populism. It's not about being pro-worker, it's about giving men like Elon Musk total control over their companies.
It lets them feel important.
LMFAOOOOO BRO SHE'S THE GOAT
I get infuriated whenever I see a take that boils down to "the right wing and the left wing need to unite to take on the right wing"
L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it. Image 8:04 PM · Nov 2, 2025 · 444.4K Views https://x.com/SenLouiseLucas/status/1985151099527942517
thinking abt this bc there is currently a controversy on tiktok where people are misreading and spreading a statistic from this article, saying that 62 million men were either in or interested in a telegram chat about drugging and raping their female partners when really it was like 1000 people max
People for some reason when they learn that making the already cost advantageous form of transportation marginally more cost advantageous doesn't change people's decision calculous all that much
I've talked about the "Torah Jews Good, Talmud Jews Bad" delusion before, but this thread adds some context to it that I hadn't really clicked together.
When it comes to associating the Talmud with Zionism, there's another, related factor: The need to see Israel through purely religious terms.
Washington does it too, and it's terrible here too
This is basically how every conversation on every topic goes nowadays. “Yeah, sure, republicans *want* to destroy this thing but they won’t end up doing it so it’ll be fine BUT what about when the Dems did (something untrue I have a vague recollection of through a game of internet telephone)?”
Add "farmers in the American West whose farms are only viable because they are given incredibly scarce water resources for 5 cents on the dollar" to the car dealers and realtors — destructive, unproductive conservative groups that we need to reduce the influence of when we're back in power.
Put another way, I think the Jewishness of the army and the state is basically incidental. This is simply what happens when you have a racial supremacist state and a racial supremacist army and a racial supremacist law. The soldiers, regardless of the particulars, will act as if they are supreme.
‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there
Fascism always tells you it's uniting regular people against insidious elites. That's one of the defining features of fascism.
People in this country will say anything. "Rural whites will be fierce fighters for racial justice." No they won't. That isn't true.
Why "or"? It looks to me like both.
1) Academic specialists make jargon when studying [thing]
2) A few activists/posters use [jargon] when criticizing [thing]
3) Right-wing media says all Dems’ want to [caricature using jargon]
5) “To win, Dems must stop saying [jargon] all the time, normal people don’t talk that way.”
6) Repeat 1
They're saying it with their whole chest. To me and tons of other people. Saying anyone who doesn't buy her bullshit is emitting Hitler particles. It's worrying. I really don't want the political coalition I'm a part of to have gutteral catharsis-chasers at the wheel the way the right does.
This but 100% unironically lauditory
I think political discourse would be better if more people admitted that stuff like this influenced their perceptions of politicians.
It's not the best answer but it's absolutely not "said she'd vote with Fetterman"
One of the things I love most about Zohran’s rise to power is that it shows so clearly how we could have a better democracy—one that actually serves us instead of just the rich—if the left decides collectively to take electoralism and government seriously. It’s ours for the taking if we want it.
This is exactly what georgism is for
do NOT call me a NIMBY. I FULLY support new housing if it is AFFORDABLE, passes my personal VIBE check, will not be lived in by people I consider UNCOOL and is constructed only when the MOON is waxing, upon the APPROPRIATE ley lines
Why does the motion to reconsider require a Democrat to have voted no?
It’s not a ‘rotating villain’ it’s the same guy, stationary villain theory
I personally don't love the resurfacing of Medieval religious antisemitism and how it's so intertwined with legitimate criticisms of the Israeli State that nobody is able to untangle the 2.
altered tweet Mike Primavera @primawesome My dean told me dumbasses keep embarrassing his department so I asked how many dumbasses he has and he said he just hires for viewpoint diversity and gets dumbasses afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just doing quotas for dumbasses and then his daughter started crying.
“Why do Democrats not simply force votes, even if they fail they’ll be rewarded for fighting!”
The reward:
