a week ago i heard the term "low-trust liberals" and kinda recoiled from it. i do not think it is viable over any real length of time. if you're on the left or even near it, you have to at least *want* a high-trust society and be striving towards one, i think...

Okay i know there's people here who actually track this stuff, so- it really feels like I'm seeing waaaay more left/liberal conspiracy theories now than during T's first term?

have encountered this too and my working theory on it is that ppl who aren't gay or trans usually aren't terribly worried about becoming so, but poly (ugh) is something they could theoretically also do. like all freedoms, it is also a threat

there is no reason for anyone born around, say, 2010 not to come to the conclusion that the world is run only by power in its crudest, most cynical, most violent form

it's cool (sincerely? or?) how this time we got the discrediting of all our foundational, societal institutions without having to suffer through a couple world wars first

LMAOOO they might as well have just given it to the guy directly

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer
Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

when i was 14 i got sentenced to one of those bootcamps for delinquents. one day they brought in an inspirational speaker for us and it was just some local dude with 6 mcdonald's franchises. he recounted how he built them up, gravely as though he were a warlord sitting at the campfire with his men

this society responds towards pro-palestinian graffiti like it's a national security threat but will let the most grotesque misogynistic graffiti stay up for years, even if it's paedophilic

in welche jobs motherfucker?

süddeutchsche zeitung: Und jetzt schnell ab in die Jobs? Die Bundesregierung will durch härtere Sanktionen mehr Bürgergeldbezieher in Arbeit bringen. Exklusive Zahlen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit zeigen, wie viele der 5,4 Millionen Menschen theoretisch Stellen finden könnten – und welche Hindernisse im Wege stehen.

my dad's personality and beliefs are a hybrid of nyt columnist david french and speaker of the house mike johnson, but even less talented and somehow more condescending

it helps me a lot with [something of zero or negative value to society] so i don't think it's fair to take it away from me or make me pay my share of the actual costs of producing and maintaining the models

yes, yes, it's true that [insert criticisms of genAI] but you've failed to take into account that i'm a lazy piece of shit with no taste or discernment, and deserve money and praise for that

crazy how like 98% of the talent human kind produces is either wasted or generates shareholder value (wasted)
