"you're not a leftist unless you have daddies money to support you wasting 100 hours on a 20m video." Certainly is... a take. But anyways, I'm not even talking about being leftist or not or whatever. I just mean, people. Period. It's not selfish to want to get paid for making something. People need money to live.
Are there content creators who fucking suck? Yes. But there's also ones that don't. They're allowed to make money.
I mean, sure but we are past that. No large YouTuber will give up getting paid, and go to a system with a much smaller user base so even stuff like affiliate links and sponsorships are worth less. Basically double lose money just to join peertube. Especially since most large YouTubers have a team of people who they pay, so they cannot afford for their employees sake to take such a large loss just to support peertube.
More likely this leads to Vimeo, or like twitch TikTok or something else being able to support a normal video platform than it leads to people using peertube.
Republicans have been confidently and fully wrong about economics for like a hundred years now dude, a republican making up economic bullshit that will hurt the American people should not be a surprise.
Yeah my problem is (mostly) with the DNC and Dem leadership. Did see him doing that, which is impressive for sure.
You know what, seems you might be right I assumed they had him open and then had quiet prayer time for a few minutes which at least lets others pray but it might just be a short sermon from the chaplain. While they’ve had non-Christian ones as guests… yeah.
Yeah I think the largest reason a lot of people are more upset with DNC over refusing progressive policy is that well, there’s still plenty of leftist policy that people would not go for so something like PSL, whose last candidates were talking about nationalizing the top 100 companies would not be something I could see people getting behind. And yeah, the internet is the internet, I just wish people didn’t get so stuck in their ways that leftists are tankies or vegans are snobby assholes or etc. like sure some of those people exist but most real humans aren’t those stereotypes. But oh well.
I mean, that’s fine. They’re allowed to pray. Everyone is. That’s the point of freedom of religion. Now if it was mandatory Christian prayer time for everyone that would be an issue, as separation of church and state means no laws enforcing one specific religion.
Allowing people to pray at noon allows Muslims to have their noon prayer, and anyone else can pray then as well so it makes sense why noon.
Glad we can at least agree on some things. I just try and stop people from attacking the leftists because most still will vote down ballot, which helps with congress and local elections and local amendments and other ballot measures, but stopping them from voting means losing all of that. Can’t really blame them for not voting for a party that refuses to represent them. I’d rather encourage someone to vote third party than not vote.
And yeah, while I understand immigration is something people think about, that was honestly one of the biggest things to piss me off. We did not need to validate their bullshit racist irrational fears and decide to be “hard on immigration.” Like, stop playing by their bullshit games and do something right.
So, what’s your plan on passive progressive policy? Keep voting for centrists that keep campaigning with republicans? That remove third parties from elections? That run attack ads on third parties? That refuse primaries? We keep doing that and the party is going to be where republicans are now in 20 years. If the DNC refuses to adopt progressive policies, they lose. That’s not my fault. They would rather Trump win than give up their power. Can’t support a party that doesn’t represent me. I would like it to, but it refuses.
Yall need to understand people criticize the DNC because they want it to be better. Most progressives still vote, and even if they did not vote for Harris, they voted down ballot. But when you sue to remove their candidate from the ballot, then they don’t show up and then you lose those local elections. When you continuously attack progressives and defend the DNC’s choice to abandon progress after it had the biggest victory it’s had running on the promise of progress in 2008, you’re helping to cause voter apathy and that leads to losing local elections. Which leads to republicans controlling the house and senate and presidency.
lol I did not vote for Jill Stein. Also, if you think Harris would’ve magically stopped Israel from continuously killing Palestinians during a ceasefire… well… they didn’t. Nor did they stop the entire genocide happening while Biden was in charge. It would have been… less public? Cool? I guess?
The democrats won’t pass anything progressive either, so it’s not like my progressive dreams were gonna happen if Harris won. And like, the genocide shit was one single point of the many things that were issues for her. One of the most obvious things she could have done to signal she is not Biden and will listen to constituents.
Like I understand foreign policy in the Middle East is a lot but acting like there’s nothing we could do about us sending bombs to commit genocide, while we were actively telling Ukraine they could not attack Russia using our weapons, is just silly. (Yes we did eventually let them attack Russia, but the fact that there was a time they had to hold off, meanwhile our bombs are dropping on civilians in Gaza, is wild.)
I mean… she also said she was going to be tough on immigration, continue to give bombs to Israel to destroy Gaza, not break from Biden on basically anything, toured with the fucking Cheneys, and plenty of other … great… things. Not to mention she had a late start… after primaries could have happened…. So… yeah. Lot of reasons she did not do great. Plus a lot of her “progressive” stuff was…. Eh…. Child tax credits already a thing just keeping it isn’t exactly progressive, I don’t remember much on the housing but her business stuff was also something that sounded nice but was also… not much. Like you wanna help small businesses then pass Medicare for all dude, when a small business doesn’t have to compete with free health care, they have a much better chance.
I mean, there’s plenty of reasons to not like Nintendo, but this whole thing is because the GameCube coming to their Online subscription. So I mean… it makes sense.
