Reddit libs finding out about fair-weather friends after the weather changed
And here I use my imagination for scenarios like “what if my cat had laser eyes” or “driving a monster truck”
Clearly I should be using it to imagine a politician being cooler than he really is
He might be smelling burning toast but he knows which side of it is buttered and who butters it
Shutter all art schools until we find out what the hell is going on
That’s really good to hear. I don’t really care for Rush’s music but kudos to anyone who outgrows Rand bullshit
Not naturally aging out of libertarianism is extremely suspect.
Satan’s like: “I want nothing to do with this.”
The evergreen Dril tweet about the racism dial
A meme made for meeee
Fan art an Elon bootlicker posted on Twitter (I think it was twitter, might have been reddit)
Livestream it too, please
The entire studio audience along with cast and crew of SNL are blacksited
Nurse I need forty CCCPs of communism, stat
“That was me, people.” -Clinton, but quoting Obama
Just put her back in the cursed puzzle box she emerged from.
Trick her into saying her name backwards or some shit
the immensely feeble invocation of “what our fathers did” is pathetic
One of the key components of liberalism is reaching some kind of end to struggle and no longer having to try. If that end point was achieved by your predecessors so you don’t have to do anything now? Even better!
Land war in Iran
Generally it helps to have hope for a future or at least some kind of stability to fight for. Not just “the same shit but it gets a little bit worse every year.”
Probably would help. But what do I know?
This is the kind of sentiment that should be nested inside nuanced arguments that explain exactly how and why this conclusion was made and shared.
“Part of the problem” is some scold ass language. Asking people to just accept diminished quality of life and labor standards isn’t exactly going to win people to the cause. Depending on the person or circumstance or audience I’d engage with this person but the delivery, format, etc tells me this is much more “being right on the internet” than trying to be constructive and start dialog. Self-flagellating labor aristocrats aren’t going to topple capitalism no matter how hard they do it. If I was feeling especially petty I’d reply that the shame vector is a byproduct of western colonial christian moralism.
If the end goal of labor activism is just in your country? You aren’t helping workers elsewhere. This isn’t exactly hard to understand. But it doesn’t mean all efforts are inherently counterproductive because of who does it and where.
Again, I’d be willing to discuss this seriously with a person who wants a serious discussion. Not a person with an axe to grind on the internet who wraps inflammatory rhetoric around a nugget of truth. It’s lazy and I’m lazy so I’d probably just tune this person out. Better arguments about this exact concept can be read. Better faith actors can be engaged with.
