I especially like that it's a recurring bit
There's plenty of people beyond saving, that's for sure: but I think people aren't so immutable. I think people are being made more monstrous by the capitalist system we live in, and the people at the top who exemplify avarice as a path to success. I'm not going to be buddies with ex maga unless they're really going the extra mile to make up for the damage they've done, but I hope at least some can be decent humans.
Yeah, and it also feels "forever ago" when you're that age. Literally half their lives. So I could understand them thinking it's "old news", but when you're an old and crusty 40 year old, you know that a 60 someone saying heinous shit means that person is deeply twisted.
It's exactly like the plan with Medicaid: burdensome bullshit paperwork makes people either just stop trying, or resent the government...making it far easier to reduce the capability of already meager social programs even further.
Yeah, I'm not mad at my Iranian friends because of what their leaders do. I can't blame them for not starting a bloody uprising. It requires coordinated, collective action, and religious leaders and the uber rich work together to keep true change from happening. The same goes for the USA. Propaganda works, and it's keeping the people too divided to easily take serious action.
We need to help make change possible, not only chastise people for being trapped in oppressive systems.
Also a content warning for a couple slurs, but the point from Patton Oswalt a while back is roughly the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkKo1_RP_0c
Why are you saying that is if it's contradictory? I know that Russia invaded Ukraine. I can see the horrifying details by watching drone videos. I can know something generally without knowing the details
I assumed the meme is related to high prices decades ago: for example, I remember saving up allowances to buy Star Fox 64, which cost about 70 bucks in the late nineties.
Fascinating! What other countries do you think would start taking over places without immigration laws?

Doesn't matter which one was worse? What's a few more dead Palestinians, eh?
Yes, Harris and Biden were/are absolute shit. Without being able to see into an alternate universe, I'm pretty sure there's more people dead than would have been under what was the already terrible status quo. The current regime is making things worse than it already was, which is a hard bar to clear. It's suffering all around, in Gaza and in the US, and across the poverty stricken areas supported by USAID.
