This is what happens when you get too academic in your writing. Nobody knows wtf you’re trying to say.
funny how they hated Bernie for his gun position and frequently brought it up to smear him.
I wouldn’t reach conclusions about either side just yet. It really can go either way. Right now it does seem like Harris will win this but she does seem to keep fumbling her lead as more time goes on.
Al Gore didn’t do himself any favors by picking Joe Lieberman as his VP.
They’re just bringing back the Cold War censorship. The question is if the global south will actually learn this time or continue worshipping them like they did after the first time.
Aoc went from saying Kamala shouldn’t be president to defending her honor against Jill Stein and Teamsters.
She hasn’t been the same since Elon Musk ratioed her.
“In Canada we believe in open and frank discussion….” Unless the topic is Israel of course.
Liberal indoctrination runs deep and is especially prevalent in academia. Major
Anytime they bring up “culture” to explain why the global south struggles
I’m a straight guy who gets called a twink when I’m well into my 30’s. It would probably be a lot more appreciated if I wasn’t straight.
You’re right. I’m so used to it being normalized that I forgot there was a time when people got made fun of for doing it.
Not surprising at all. Blue collar workers tend to lean right-wing in the US.
Only just learned about this meme. It’s up there with “Damn Daniel” as one of the more stupid and annoying memes that’s lasted well past its expiration date.
Japan being treated the way it was in the 80s is proof of that
It’s my first time hearing about either
Just imagine if Russia did this to Ukrainians.
Motorola phones are? I thought they stopped being popular in the 2000’s and that zoomers were mostly all in on iPhones.
Central America is the region that gets American imperialism the worst. We elect someone that only slightly goes against US interests and they throw a fit. The northern triangle of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador especially get it.
Belize is often left alone though. Probably because they’re so small and pretty irrelevant on the global stage.
The tech bro response is to say that you can’t stop innovation or pivot to fossil fuels and say “well what about them?”
These people love to accuse others of having a simplistic worldview when they can only view geopolitical conflicts as good vs. evil.
This is from a "leftist" sub. This same user then says they're muslim and that everybody objecting to their take doesn't understand politics and is an edgy teenage tankie larper.
I'm fucking done with NATO leftists on these subs and sticking to TheDeprogram and SLS before I give myself an aneurysm
One of my childhood friends is finding himself in a tough situation. He's autistic and has struggled to make decent money for most of his life. He recently got a job working as a dishwasher while looking for a trade to get into.
His parents are when the issues kick in. They charge him rent (he's 31 btw) that's currently only $107. They used to charge him $300 back in 2014 and would have it go up by $50 every year to the point he was paying $600 before Covid hit. He still had to pay rent while in school and his parents refused to stop it during that time. The majority of his unemployment checks during Covid went into their rent.
They decided to change things by having him go on foodstamps in order to reduce his rent. He spends maybe $20 a week at the most for food because he's never been a big eater. Most of that foodstamp money goes to his parents who use it for groceries, including his. The thing is that they spend way more than he ever does and completely max out the card every month.
He's been under stress lately because he has to re-certify but his new job has a schedule that's all over the place and makes it so he keeps missing the calls when they happen. His parents insist that part of this process is to help him with his Autism and "become an adult." The stress got so bad for him with all the missed calls that he threw his hands up and decided to just not re-certify because it was adding too much stress in his life. His parents responded angrily by saying he would then "owe" them money in the form of $250 a month plus the $174 he already owes from a loan he took out five years ago.
The big kicker is that they're a pretty wealthy family living in a very wealthy part of Upstate New York, but they leech off what little money he has like vultures. The whole rent thing is said to be helping him with his Autism to become more self-sufficient but if anything it's made him more financially dependent on them than anything.
I know this was more of a rant than anything, but it's been difficult listening to this for years now and seeing him still stuck living with them. It's pretty clear to me that he's scared of moving out of their nice house and living in some sketchy apartment without a car because he can't afford one. I'm just not sure what else there is to do because I'm not living in the US and am unfamiliar with how social services work there.
Is there a way for him to get out and not be living on the edge of poverty?

Vaushites and Destiny fans are brigading like crazy and leaving behind their State Department logic.
China is determined to become the world’s next superpower. They already have plans in motion to make it happen, and Chinese president Xi Jinping has
Used to love this site for creepy factoids but it's filled with stupid shit like this
Kind of a weird zinger. I thought leftists were stereotyped to be sex-driven heathens?
