2 days agoWe probably have our political differences but I’m glad you see the failures of “centrist opposition”. Well said.
Centrism in the political landscape of America is nothing more than a support of a right-wing policy shift.

If you were explaining quantum mechanics you’d probably start with the fundamentals of understanding momentum and position.
It’s funny you make an analogy like that. Because you’re completely ignoring both the position that the Democratic party is in AND the momentum they have in driving discourse.
Do I have to explain it to you?! Do you think the comparison between “online leftist” and the Democratic party is in the same “quantum level”? (Yes I’m stretching the satire here it’s a joke don’t take it too seriously.)
But seriously, it’s not about “guilty parties” it’s about the degree in which they are able to influence the political landscape.
You are critizing the smallest sliver of the nearly non existing left in order to avoid criticism of the only party that had any chance of preventing the rise of fascism we are experiencing now.
And that party did absolutely fuck all to prevent it. So, please. Explain to me you’re “enlightened centrist” take on why the failure of the Democratic party and it’s outright genocide were the fault of the “online left”.
I’d really love that physics lecture.
Why is the blame placed on individuals that would be lucky if they made up more than 1% of the population that makes up the “online leftist”?
Seriously. How is the only opposition party not the one that decided they would “play chicken”? You blame people for playing “chicken” but ignore the actual political party with money and organization that clearly decided to play chicken themselves. Hell, they’re the ones that literally decided to play that game.
Somehow the criticism and blame is placed on unorganized “online leftist”.
It wasn’t the online left. It was the vast majority of normies that thought about their vote for all of 30 seconds and said : “Yeah, I don’t like all the dead babies I keep hearing about. I’ll stay home or vote Trump i guess”
Stop pretending it’s some cringe online leftist. You’re delusional.
5·4 days agoAbsolutely. Which is why it’s so hard to get upset at them. I appreciate the gesture. But unfortunately we live in a world of cars. A nice gesture can quickly end with someone getting hurt.
Like, there is no world in which these nice polite gestures between bikes or pedestrians would ever have such high stakes. But sadly cars make it impossible.
That’s what it sounded like. A similar situation to what happens on the 405 here.
But absolutely insane people do it when traffic is actually moving. I understand the “my exit is 300 ft away and we’re all stuck”. Understand it, but would still not be that guy.
Absolutely mind boggling people do this when traffic is moving.
This reminds me “nice” cars that do stupid shit because they see a biker. I just want cars to be predictable. I don’t want them to be nice.
I can’t stand the “oh I’ll stop for you when I’m not supposed to at this 2 way stop” cars.
Like, dude. This doesn’t help me. I have to wait and make sure the the car coming up behind you also stops and doesn’t just pass you because you’re being stupid.
And then now there is a car coming the other way and they aren’t stopping (because they don’t actually have a stop sign).
Can you just drive safe and predictable? I literally WANT to wait here until there are NO cars. Not 3-4 cars I now have to hope stop and don’t kill me.
When people do this I literally just get off my bike now to make it obvious I don’t want their “help”. I’ve had too many times where people doing this have put me in danger. I have eyes. I want to wait until it’s clear.
I want to believe that Houston allows shoulder driving during certain hours. I believe you. But I don’t actually want to believe that many people did that.
On a part of 405 in Seattle we have a “shoulder” that opens for traffic during rush hour simply for the fact that people would use it anyway to get to the exit ahead. So they just made it allowed.
I want believe that’s what happened. But probably not.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Another good one. A little more general but definitely still applies.
Because rich people are allowed to rape children. Innocence is bought. Sometimes the language they use just exposes what they really mean. You just have to pay attention.
They’re not dumb. The language and the words they use reveals a lot. They are saying that revealing the worst crimes of the capitalist class will destroy the world because the capitalist class will side with pedophiles before they let the proletariat take their power.
They are saying “don’t make us go full fascist death camps. Revealing this will just lead to us treating the entire population like we have Gaza. We’ll defend our pedophiles if we need to to maintain power”
It’s amazing we’ve gotten to this point. Like, holy shit, I’ve got a doctor’s appointment in 30 minutes. I need to ask him to stop giving me these crazy pills.
Yes. It’s necessary to belittle and insult these liberal Zionist “both sides” or “this is complex” talking points. Full stop.
I would say the same thing of people saying “America isn’t fighting the Nazis for the right reasons. It’s a political maneuver for their own interests”. If they said thatin the 1940s I’d call them an idiot. I would tell them to shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing themselves.
You can say something that is true while still being a fucking moron. Grow up. Someone’s gonna insult you; and definitely on the internet. My emotional language doesn’t make me wrong. It makes me upset that we still have idiots like you trying to distract in every stupid thread.
I’m not trying to change your mind. You don’t have to agree. I’m showing people how you deal with these absolutely useless distractions. And sometimes that’s being insulting to someone that wants to be the “well actually” guy 648 days into a genocide.
I am! I’m saying it’s fucking irrelevant and idiotic to talk about grabbing a raincoat when your house is burning down.
Yes. It can be true that it’s raining outside; and at the same time my house is burning down.
When someone suggests my priority should be to “find my rain coat before leaving the house” I tell them they’re a fucking idiot.
Everything is a political maneuver you idiot. What is the point you’re trying to make? You’re just engaging in a misdirection yourself.
I don’t care what “political maneuver” is being done when that maneuver involves calling a fucking genocide a genocide.
What a useless and vague comment with absolutely no substance.
Also, fucking “manover” lol. That’s not a typo or autocorrect. That’s just stupidity.
Yeah. We give the guy who owns 2-3 duplexes the chance to work and return the years of labor he stole from others. His sins can be still be repaid.
But if he resist. Well…
Yeah but I think if we’re gonna give credit we gotta give it to the man that put it into action.
Sure but it’s not like it’s the first time. Freakin Smallville (the TV show) had a similar plot one season.
Superman hasn’t changed much. Our society has become more reactionary in response to the least bit of progress.
I’m a 6’3" man weighing 230lbs. I couldn’t hold back tears with that little kid (who obviously represented Palestine) holding the Superman flag in the face of tanks and an army.
Like, fuck me dude. I have been looking for some level of solidarity after 2 years of hearing a death count repeated every morning from Amy Goodman.
It’s just a film. It’s not going to change anything about our garbage world. But if anything it made me feel a little less alone when contrasting my time spent at protests with my time spent having to listen to idiot coworkers.
