This is a funny take I haven’t heard. Maybe it’s a bit true.

People I talk to seem to have little understanding of Trump policies. Like it’s mostly projection.

One person I spoke to with a Trump pin said these two statements: “I don’t like where the country is heading everything is expensive. The government spends too much money”… “yeah we got to support Ukraine, Russia would not have invaded if Trump was president. Russia needs to loose and go home so we can end the war”

… like okay? And Trump will help any of this how, as a lap dog to Putin who blew up the budget and raised taxes on those making less than $500k?

These people vote for people who tell them what they want to hear and project the rest… you know morons.

It’s not about”progressives” it’s about the average Joe voter who (in some ways rightly) couldn’t see a difference enough to make voting (an unnecessarily difficult chore) worthwhile.

The second problem, is that there is no collective class consciousness. At best there is maybe a collective unconscious feeling. Progressives often ascribe a much greater awareness than is warranted to the proletariat. Ironically after likely doing no organizing other than debating each other in closed left wing YouTube and Reddit threads.

This is funny but I can’t upvote AI nonsense out of principle :-(

There is a fun Netflix documentary where a guy creates his own cult: Kumare.

In the end he feels bad for taking advantage of peoples’ trust particularly when vulnerable and has a semi-sincere apology for including them in his project.

So the first requirement is you need to be a bit of a sociopath or a true believer (aka a bit crazy)

I mean people don’t seriously acknowledge it but good on Sesame Street for semi real sticky representing a homeless bum on a kids show. Also Bert and Earnie, but most people give them credit for that one these days…

in addition to mineral deposits they also have natural gas and historically a good amount of people in the developed cities well trained in math, programming, and technical sciences.

They could have been an economic powerhouse in 21st century if they weren’t beholden to Putin and oligarchy.

I know it’s an an olde, but I like this photo the more I see it. There is something heart warming about it

My motto is “just don’t hurt yourself” . If you came out in one piece then you are skilled enough friend

Sounds comfy. Could depend on the spinal support and alignment though. A cot keeps you off uneven ground. FWIW

My man, you need a better bed. I get this whenever I sleep on a shit bed somewhere.

If you’re camping take a cot

We need a “fuck pedestrians” instance for this one guys

Disgusting. There need to be assault charges on the officers and the department needs a overhaul and oversight. Watch the video if you don’t agree

God I wish those fuckers weren’t in Ukraine. Those are some mothers’ children.

GTFO

The privatization of the common took place in many other economic regimes, e.g. feudalism, slavery, mercantilism, …

Capitalism is about the privatization of capital

Not an accurate description of capitalism, not based

Thanks that’s helpful.

But right…?

Solar plants can be reduced to rationalize supply.

To my understanding. The bigger issue is you can’t as effectively do this with other non-renewables like coal/gas… so this not a solar problem but a problem of legacy power plants.

So stupid. The narrative as well.

As someone with a technical background this is the stupidest problem with solar that I don’t get… just turn off the panels in groups until generation is closer to demand… how have engineers not figured that out. And if they have why does this still get written about.

Someone is an idiot. Maybe it’s me?
