The US has never had a social contract outside of a few things like social security, medicare and medicaid. It’s 335 million people lumped together with a good many of them doing everything they can to fuck everyone else over so they get a slightly bigger slice of the pie, unaware of the fact that if everyone worked together and looked out for one another, things would be much better for everyone.

On one hand, it’s really expensive. On the other hand, it’s also shit.

Are there no actual Green Party people in the US? People who actually care about climate change and will get rid of the Russian stooge currently calling the shots. It just seems weird that she pops up every four years and melts away whilst doing absolutely fuck all to advance the agenda her supporters should care about.

Y’all Qaida strikes again.

Numbers are so 1940’s, I thought they might have moved to QR codes by now.

It’s way cheaper to build storage than new nuclear.

It is changing but it’s going so slowly that it’s hard to see progress sometimes.

you have to invest more time, effort, and money into your wardrobe or face systematic bullying from your peer group.

This just sounds like an opportunity to ditch the assholes and associate with better people. You’re talking about adults who can make their own decisions but you make it sound like high school.

I disagree inasmuch as male privilege does exist but this is a really fucking stupid example to pick and in reality diminishes the seriousness of real issues like the pay gap, glass ceiling, etc.

The real problem in this scenario is other women using the repeated wearing of the same outfit as an excuse to act like assholes.

It’s unreasonable to categorize this as an example of male privilege when men have little to do with it.

Let me go get my Planck length sized violin.

Libertarians, at least in the US, are all about being selfish. “why should I pay taxes to fund schools, I don’t have kids” types. It’s all “me, me, me.”

Insufferable wankers.

Republicans are like that too but they also enjoy telling everyone else what they should be doing. They want to control other people’s access to healthcare, punish them for being the “wrong” faith, sexuality, race, etc.

Nah, I want justice. He needs to be made an example of for the next authoritarian dickhead who thinks about fucking with democracy.

Trump fatigue is real.

The only news I want to hear about him is how much he lost by and how long his prison sentence will be.

The IDF just murdered your family, razed your house, and torched your crops. You are now homeless and alone, you can’t travel and you’re broke. What is your next course of action?

I can’t reconcile

Israel has slowly settled additional territory

with

There is no excuse for terrorism

The IDF is stealing land, making people homeless, burning crops, murdering Palestinians, and so on.

What is an appropriate response in your view?

It’s a low, low bar but somehow he managed to slither under it.
