not sounding better. I imagine you think that they’d be taking themselves out as some sort of problem that corrects itself… but we’ve seen that kind of suicidal religious extremism before, and it’s not good for everyone else.

I don’t think we should strive for society to widely adopt that kind of religious fanaticism. I feel like that would make things worse.

hmmmm America forcibly shackling black people from overseas and legally defining them as non-citizens… where have I seen this before?..

This might just be the kind of cringe that finally gets my kid to give turnbased games a chance.

When devs tease a new enemy mob but it’s just a recolor…

It’s all local.

For now.

Changing the mob skin doesn’t change the game.

Rip and Tear until it’s done.

I think those are all the reasons WHY people voted for Trump.

The whole “America First” thing purports itself to address all of those issues. It was a lie, obviously. Anyone who knew the history and politics of the republicans knew it was a lie. It’s literally the strategy of using populism to further fascism. Easy to see for people who know.

But that’s the problem, right? You have to know.

Remember that the majority of people do not engage in politics at all, half don’t even vote. Going back to hierarchy of needs, it’s hard to care about national politics get involved with activism when you have to pay bills and afford food. The people that can afford to do so, already are living with some manner of privilege.

The remaining privileged minority are, mostly, only casually involved. That is to say, they consume mainstream news, kinda keep up with the times, but they’re not really digging into root causes and systems. Then you mix in echo chambers, bubbles and misinformation, and it’s not good.

People see “America First” and think, “yea, that’s the thing I’m concerned about”. That’s probably the extent of their knowledge about the cause. People hungry and chasing shelter don’t have time to research if they’re being lied to. They have simple problems and then need simple to understand solutions.

OH, and there’s one last category of privileged people. The so privileged they don’t even care about politics. These are the “why does everything have to be political?” types. “Both-sides are the same” type. The most insufferable of people.

What a gross and cynical mischaracterization. When people are constantly struggling to afford food and shelter they do not have the luxury of concerning themselves with things that don’t address their immediate needs. That’s the whole point of the heirarchy of needs.

So look, real cool that you’re secure enough in your life to spend time and energy caring about others. That is a good thing. But that also means that you’re living a life of privilege in comparison to so many others. Not saying your life is perfect and without strife… but if you have the time, energy and security to pursue causes outside of meeting your basic needs… that’s privilege.

And you’re using that privilege to punch down at poor people. To cynically mock them for not doing what you think they should be doing; the things that you can afford to do. Instead, you’re misrepresenting them as selfish, gluttonous and greedy.

inshort, plz fuck off with your tankieass “america bad” hottake.

You’re telling me that not being able to afford the foundational rung of the hierarchy of needs is a detriment to human happiness?

get stronger the drunker they become

Wow, they’re just like me fr fr

2012? Mf, this is like 90s joke on a 2004 template.

Easy come, easy go.

The difference is, our police are armed more heavily than some nations military. And our military is more heavily armed than nearly every other nation combined… And that’s forgetting that we’ve allowed technocrats to install nationwide government surveillance, tracking and recording. Both online and in public places.

It’s not so easy as just “revolt”.
