The problem is that we have reached late stage capitalism where the economy does not work for 99% of Americans regardless of which party is in charge.
The real question you should be asking is “Why do the rich and powerful keep supporting Republicans if they consistently crash the economies that the rich and powerful participate in?” There’s a pretty obvious answer that helps to explain what’s happening right now.
The problem with your theory is that with the removal of the Fairness Doctrine, the creationist and the faith healer weren’t deplatformed. Instead, they stopped needing to have a doctor or a paleontologist on the air to fact check them. That’s what led to “my faith being as important as your reason,” a bunch of far-right religious programming that no longer needed to host experts that would rightfully tear their ideas to shreds.
Also there wasn’t any internet and broadcasting over the airwaves counted for most TV networks of the time.
please I wanna get folded so badly
couldn’t be me, desperately trying to avoid the urge to send a follow-up text out of fear that I’ll be seen as too clingy (I am failing, it is me)
bro why is his bulge so big?
Yeah, they’d be considered like a 2-3 or so on the Kinsey scale; mostly heterosexual but with some gay attraction. You know you can measure a spectrum right? It doesn’t have to be a vague ball of nonsense.
Does 15 still count as a child? I think it does, and driving 300+ miles to have sex with someone I met on the internet is still probably the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done.
Not really true? I’m not entirely certain the Kinsey scale is advanced enough to quantify this, but I think liking slim femme twinks is closer to straight than liking big husky bears.
The average person has never installed an operating system in their entire life.
Just the simple act of installing Mint is a lot more effort than the average user has ever put into computing.
Knew a straight guy who got beaten almost to death because two fascist chuds thought he was gay. Only survived because one of his buddies at the gig he was working that night noticed he didn’t make it back to the hotel after, could have easily just bled out overnight over nothing. When you decide to amplify hateful and violent ideology, it creates a hateful and violent world.
That’s not panic selling, that’s transitioning to a cash position because you know a Republican is going to crash the American economy and want to be able to buy everything up cheaply.
If you have his address, you should do a lot more with it. This man is organizing a kidnapping and human trafficking program for Americans.
if there’s one thing that keeps getting proven again and again, it’s that business majors are generally quite dumb. They can’t understand anything unless you can put it in terms of money, so this really is the first time they’re realizing there’s a problem.
That logic won’t work on them because yes they absolutely would.
why does it look like you’re breaking their knees?
really wish I could have dreams. They always sound so nice when other people tell me about theirs. I just never saw the point, I internalized that my life would be neverending misery when I was a child, and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
This is such an incredibly awful take that completely disregards the very obvious problem that’s currently happening; what happens when it isn’t economical for those companies to support us?
Everything the LGBTQ+ community has gained in the past decades was from our own activism, don’t pretend the capitalists were doing us a fucking favor.
The real psyop was the conservative takeover of online spaces. I remember the old net. Even unmoderated shitholes like 4chan were significantly more leftist. Deviant communities like furries and especially the bronies were absolutely on 4chan back in the day. Sure, there were lots of generally rude assholes, but most of them were apolitical or tankies.
I once had to explain the concept of having multiple Internet browser tabs to an elderly woman. She was certain nobody else could ever manage accessing a webpage AND their email at the same time, and was angry at our 2fa system for requiring that.
Another time I had to explain to my romantic partner at the time that winter actually lasts from the 21st of December through the 20th of March. He was convinced that winter coincided with the Christmas season, and that spring started on January 1st.
Any destructive device is categorized as a WMD in the U.S., and rightly so. One drone strapped with a pipe bomb can cause a lot of damage very quickly with very high precision.
