  • The sad thing is the left kind of had some of that energy too. The old school “edgy atheist” movement was pretty left-wing, and they did something really important: they mocked the fascists instead of being openly scared of them. Like literally, back in the day, homophobic people were written off as dumbass slobs, and their bigotry is a byproduct of their lack of intelligence. Unfortunately that kind of came apart when people on the right realized they can just basically tell some more privileged atheists 'just play along with it and you can use religion as a crutch to demand special treatment for being one of us ‘normals’."

    If dems want an online media presence, I’d argue to try the skeptic thing again now that the right is abandoning it in favor of “I’m sexy!” as an argument.







  • It’s kind of funny because this problem has been around the us since its inception of not using its competitive edge

    • Blame the lazy ceos who have been too scared to expand their businesses and allow even millennials to work in what they’ve studied. It’s been a never ending boomer party for how long?

    • Blame what is essentially a racial caste system for putting white men’s egos over what’s good for the country. Yeah I know this is just purely an economism-based chauvinism sprinkled in with some nationalism, but I’m just showing how irrational fascists are with even achieving their own goals.

    • Blame the general culture of pig-headedness America’s ruling class is known for. Green energy is borderline nonexistent, no one wants to actually build infrastructure because “muh freedumz”, shit sucks. It’s hypocritical we claim to love the free market yet we allow the capitalist class to engage in its own form of syndicalism by having capital unions collectively work together and fight for their interests. The underemployment issue could be a lot better if we forced companies to actually compete.

    • How much are we wasting on wars, something we use as a ‘poor people disposal method?’. Fascists shed crocodile tears about male disposability and Trump’s in no rush to fully abolish selective service in ernest. Look at how many older chuds cluck about how more younger men should be soldiers, especially ones that never served.

    TL;DR: If capitalism wasn’t so myopic and capable of thinking long term, the US might actually pose a plausible alternative to socialism. Now I need to shower, I gave capitalism CONSTRUCTIVE criticism instead of pure dunking.
