I feel all of this. Trump is a clown but he has taught us something useful: the Democrats had the power to just do shit this whole time and they refused to use it. The few times they did, it was to control mean words on the internet or ban people like Snowden and Assange from the country. They are not good people or leaders.

No I'm not saying the Republicans are better or desirable in any way, but if all you're doing is VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO, that's not going to fix a god damn thing.

Evangelicals and Zionists are death cultists who want to end mankind to bring about the conditions of their salvation.

They are dangerously stupid.

Women often have to trade career progression for motherhood. That's a big ask considering the decades we've spent letting neoliberals devalue motherhood and labour in and out of the home.

~20 years ago my wife was mocked at university for wanting to have children. It hasn't improved much since.

Real estate agents are largely an unproductive group of parasites. They are also professional shit take machines.

Name something you care about. Now be honest: do you scroll past everything that spreads misinformation about that thing?

Investors have very big brains and are never wrong, so when a company drops staff they say it's good to see the company losing dead weight.

Us stupid small-brained normies see a company struggling to have an original idea shaving staff to stay afloat and say "that doesn't look good".

Then the big-brain investor loses money and posts on social media about how you can't win them all. The joke is that us normies also lost money; the investor didnt lose their money, they lost yours, because they were managing your pension fund.

I can't speak for rekabis but my wife has agreed with everything rekabis said, as some of her own friends and many coworkers are exactly like this.

As for my own experience: back when Facebook was still "the Facebook", I was in a Human Sexuality class in college. The prof split up the men and women and then had each side list what they want in a partner to illustrate that men and women have different values, and I was utterly disgusted by both sides.

Men: I want a woman with little sexual experience who will be obedient and faithful (translated: doting kissless virgin who will suck me off whenever I want, and never talk to other men)

Women: I want an independent man who can take me places, help me get what I need, and who listens (translated: a man who lives on his own, owns a car, will buy me things, and who will not challenge my braindead assumptions about life as a man)

I was listening to both sides construct their ideal person and then realize they couldn't say what they actually wanted to say, so they reworded it, hence the translations. That's the day I decided I would go find an intelligent woman who actually wants to touch grass and start a family. ~15 years later I have never been more glad I made that call because it does not appear that things improved at all.

The health care system is using a hammer to put in a screw, because it's all they've got in the face of a housing crisis.

In other words, this woman is dying a senseless death but it's not the health care system that did this.

What concerns me is that this essentially lines up with Trump's approval rate (or lack thereof). How many people are actually reasoning themselves to a conclusion rather than just having their sides opinion told to them? Have they actually seen the videos and watched them with a critical eye? I did, and it's pretty damning for ICE.

But here's the other side of it: how many of you were surprised Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted on any of his shootings? I saw the videos and I was not surprised by the rulings that landed, yet I've seen many comments calling him a murderer.

Inb4 "both sides": I am a democratic socialist and union activist. There is a good chance I'm further left than a significant portion of those who would reply to me, but the truth is the truth.

Do you think that generated depictions of the sexual abuse of children are ok in any context?

False equivalence.

Guy atomically made of shit takes has another shit take, colour me surprised.
