Even Antarctica is far more habitable than Mars. It’s warmer (usually) and you can breathe the air.
This needs to be canonized as an official emoji
CEO Sundar Pichai said, "We have a culture of vibrant, open discussion... But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place […] to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics."
A billion-dollar contract with Israel is a political decision. There is no way to oppose it except politically. Own the decisions you make Google.
edit It is fascinating how abrupt and vocal a response I get here if I say something negative about Putin. It's also fascinating how many upvotes those responses get. It makes the provenance of this community's opinions fairly obvious.
You sound exactly like Shapiro
“People immediately telling me I’m wrong is proof that I’m saying the hard truth!”
No, China doesn’t count because that would challenge my worldview. I know I’m right, I just haven’t figured out how yet.
“The bad guys” according to neocons
As a Korean American, my family and I are eternally grateful that the US got involved in the Korean War
Americans grasping for whatever moral authority they can so they don’t have to understand history
I've spent a significant amount of time in most states east of the Mississippi. A while ago I went to Texas for the first time outside the confines of an airport.
Texas is maybe the worst state I've been to. "Maybe" because I'm deciding if Louisiana is worse, excluding Nola.
If you hate pervasive Republican/conservative/Christian ideology, you will hate Texas. If you hate Libertarianism, you will hate Texas. If you hate car-dominated transit, you will hate Texas.
The best thing about Texas is tacos and general Tex-Mex food. Not a huge endorsement of a place if its best attributes are its external influences.
Going against the grain: people don’t steal candy bowls because of poverty. The majority of trick or treaters will live in the same neighborhood and therefore also live in McMansions.
The video is mostly for fun, being derivative of his larger series where he pranks porch pirates with glitter/stink bombs. Porch pirates affect everyone, not just McMansion grillpilled people, it happens in poorer neighborhoods too.
This same guy also has a series where he helped bust a scam call center in India that was duping elderly Americans of their savings. I’m sure there will be Hexbears who say “the Americans deserved it and the Indians needed the money more” but I don’t think scamming working class grandparents is the bleeding edge of revolutionary action.
I was just reading this thread on r/neoliberal yesterday (ik that sub is basically cheating) that is exactly what you speak of here. An echo chamber of “Marx was wrong about almost everything” with almost no specifics or demonstration of understanding of the actual theory. In the few cases where they happen to mention a real Marxian term like alienation, it’s purely a vibes thing for these libs. They’ll take the alienation stuff, thank you, because Marx was right about workers being depressed and stuff. No no, don’t worry about the content and motivation of Marx’s theory of alienation or the progression of thoughts which led him to it; it is sufficient to take the results based on your gut intuition.
Competition even in theory:
I won the competition, now buy my linen at 10x its value. Btw it costs 1,000 years of the average salary to start up a competing business, good luck lol
Job-hunting depression is complemented by the false ego boosting that occurs while you’re employed or studying.
When you’re “in”, you are encouraged to overestimate your own contribution to the economy/world. No one keeps each other in check. Then when you’re unemployed, you are forced to confront the reality of your position as a replaceable laborer. Mere personnel. It’s like this at every level, people lying to themselves and each other about their importance, and denigrating the unemployed in order to solidify their own tenuous position.
