Some of those people (or their children) are still having breakdowns because a black person is in the same store :(
I think a lot of us have picked up, been taught, this idea that like "the past had bad stuff but it's over now, and everyone's better, and everyone who was fighting for bad things realized the errors of their ways and repented".
You have to remember it's not about facts, it's about feelings. As I always say, we're all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.
I think they're making a joke (what with the /s), but some people will say that since "Nazi" is derived from "national socialist" it's a form of socialism. Usually people making that claim are arguing in bad faith and/or are grossly misinformed.
Even republicans don’t want fascism.
They don't? How can you tell?
Yeah I think a lot about the guy I knew that took a job at palantir. When asked about working on questionable stuff, he just shrugged. He was always nice to people he knew personally, so far as I can tell, but bigger picture stuff didn't seem to matter to him
I have a hypothesis that many conservatives are reflexively opposed to change. So if you suggest putting in a bus lane, they'll fight you tooth and claw. But once you get it in, a couple years later, if someone suggests removing it those same people will fight tooth and claw to keep it.
In other words, sometimes they're stupid and don't have good reasons.
The video games in my house were downstairs, and one time I did a "Can I go downstairs?" instead of "Can I play video games?" when I knew they didn't want me playing more games. Thought it was a clever loophole. Only worked the one time, but got jokingly referenced for the next ten years.
I do feel like protests need to transition from "We're here with signs" to "No more labor until these problems are addressed," but I don't know how to get from here to there.
Are there protests? Are people lining up in DC? I feel like the left is just broken and disorganized and losing on every front.
From what I read, at the time of the Kent State Massacre, something like 60% of americans blamed the students.
None of the men I know that are using the apps are looking for hookups. There are many such men, but there are lots of people looking for other stuff as well.
Yeah I don't know what the solution is. Just killing all your ideological opponents probably isn't it.
Preventing the concentration of wealth and power and investing heavily in education would probably help
