But my founding daddys!

This is why you all need to vote. If we had blue judges in the Supreme Court this would have never happened. As long as you vote we will have democracy back in about 300 years.

I lack the "competitive spirit". I used to play sports a lot and was above average in the group I played I played with. While I think competition in sports can be and is generally healthy, I always saw it as an extension and normalisation of the zero-sum attitude that my capitalist neoliberal political economy is plagued with. India doing well in international cricket is always intricately tied to the self-worth of the nation while children beg on the streets. Competitive entrance exams to colleges after high school are seen as some sort of test of merit while the ratio of applicants to those who pass these exams is about 10:1. Meanwhile, job prospects are not guaranteed to be good for those who pass, and for those who don't pass the job prospects are pretty much non-existent. With the background of India's massive structural unemployment and underemployment problem, ten children are made to sit in cutthroat exams. 9 are then told that whatever misery befalls upon them is a result of their own inadequacy. This doesn't even take into account the innumberable children who do not get the opportunity to take these exams.

I just checked out of this shit. I am privileged because of which I have been able to. But this shit never seemed right to me even when I was a baby-brained child. Just watching colleagues trying to do numerous small dances to increase their job prospects and make their linkedin profile more attractive tires me.

The situation around voting in the sham election always involves terminal turboliberals guilt-tripping abstainers. You have to be delusional to think that a nebulous cohort of tankies is hounding you to not vote for Biden.

I envy the fact that your parent is, to some extent unknown to me, grounded in reality.

I think even the "(he/him) ♥️🌈" connotations are pretty charitable. Biden himself does not seem very LGBT friendly. The Dems on the whole on the other hand just let the Republicans do the witch hunts rather than participating themselves.

Not playing any of those games at the moment but I found Rise more fun as a newbie. So this has always confused me.

nerd : Indigeneity is itself a Complex(TM) topic that needs to be defined first before going anywhere.

Edit: from that article:

A left-wing kibbutznik who lives a few miles from Gaza and drives sick Palestinians to Israeli hospitals is no less a colonialist than a right-wing theocratic settler

Ah fuck I didn't even think about the left wing kibbutznik

Not a fan of horror films or paying for films but it's an independent film and the director seems cool so considering watching it. Anyone watched it yet? If yes, thoughts?

Preogressive feels like such a shit word now I would never touch any person with a twenty feet pole who describes themselves as progressive or support some figure who does. The totality of my expection from progressives is that they won't say slurs in public.

Israel is also a safe haven for Jews

Maybe some specific strands of Jewish people. As long as they are white or European or American or however you wanna categorise them. Ethiopian jews are ghettoised and forcibly sterilised.
