I know it's fake, but this makes me sad.

It's just the cope people go through to navigate a worsening economy while lacking class consciousness. If you perpetuate the belief that the responsibility is on the consumer, then you can look at the exploitation and say it's because they weren't smart shoppers who did their homework. The system doesn't need to change, you just need to be smarter.

It's just another permutation of personal responsibility politics used to ignore the systemic problems we're seeing. It's telling customers not to be stupid instead of questioning why videogame companies keep selling low quality garbage with pre-order bonuses to hook people who want to look forward to something.

It's bad to do the pre-orders and get invested like with Starfield, but the people offering warnings like that are more just trying to prove they are being a smarter shopper. That they won't get duped by the hype.

Brunch is singing her siren song and we're gonna crash into the rocks.

Lol I never forgot. Those ideologies also destroyed queer lives, lives in the middle east, and lives in the global south. The memory of the US is about 3 seasons of television long.

Do you to think Ronald Reagan or his supporters actually oppose the policies within Project 2025?

I'm not saying you should vote for Trump, but the worst people supporting Kamala Harris isn't the win they seem to think it is.

Please, any unironic Kamala supporters, could you tell me how this is a win and not a condemnation of her 'platform?'

Please tell me this was made ironically.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

It feels like ads these days are crossing a lot of boundaries that they didn't just a few years ago. It's manufacturing consent but more aggressive. Normalizing the violence.

He just put the couch in the microwave for a little bit to reach human body temperature. It would be weirder if he didn't.

Who could have known the cop would be a bastard?

 

As someone who's broke and working through hard things, I feel bad not being able to help when there are other people going through it.

But we're all trying our best out here. Don't make it easy for libs and beat yourself up. Help others if you can and take care of yourself if you can't. Drink water.

 

It feels kinda wrong how quickly some people say they wouldn't kill hitler if they were sent back in time and given the opportunity.

I'm using that scenario because it seems like a common example, but I'm curious about how materialist theory would approach this.

Barring the sci-fi theories around time travel and whether a new timeline is created, where I believe it's fair game to change the past (since it's a new timeline) would it be morally right to improve the world if flung into a version of the past?

My thought is that it would be a moral obligation to help with things and not just be a witness to atrocity.

Edit: I think my question was more - Is it wrong to do nothing if flung into the past when you know what is likely to happen, or is it more wrong to try to prevent or change it?

I ask because it's almost a given in media and general discussion that you don't mess with things on the chance you make things worse by interfering. That argument feels flawed and lib- brained and I don't think I would be okay with a bad thing happening in front of me just because that's how it happened in my history book. Like the idea of standing by and doing nothing in the face of suffering feels wrong especially with something as nebulous as 'affecting the timeline'

 

I've made several alts over the years and it's wild to see how badly wreckers fumble on sounding like a leftist.

I used to think I needed to build more credibility before making a post, but it's not the case at all. If you're cool and stay consistent in your values, people here are so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for being a cool community who bans transphobes, debate lords, and chuds.
