gini in a bottle

Every time I see a discussion that goes

"Doing _____ would cause harm."
"But if we don't do _____ we look weak."

The quote is itself an absolute 😂

Hey, thanks for all that context. I think a central issue is that when this was pointed out to them, they just said oh well we have a big tent and brushed it off.

If they had just said they were looking into it, I think it would have been received much better.

Meme of the scorpion riding on the frog on the river. The text reads "Why do you support patriarchy?" said the frog. It's awful for me and it's pretty terrible for you too. "Feminism DESTROYED in 10 seconds" said the scorpion

It doesn't mean you're cool if someone found a horror movie scary and you didn't. It's because horror is individual. For a big chunk of the animal kingdom, the most horrifying thing imaginable is this

Those are his French girls

What if we had a law where everyone who wants unregulated capitalism is legally required to watch Les Miserables and Oliver Twist

My god

What evidence do you have that it would "suck" if we had a stateless society where workers were in charge of the work they do?

Also, what does the government owning your home have to do with anything?

He said "transgender FROM everybody." Like every single person is actually transgender and every single one of us would transition if he didn't stop us.

Does the President of the Internet rank above or below The Elders of the Internet?

As a rational person I believe

- Some people are objectively smarter than everyone else
- Those people are the ones who are just like me
- Those people should make all the decisions, receive most of the privileges and not have to do any of the unpleasant work

Rational.

They don't need to stop elections. If you control the media (news and social media) then you can control the outcome of the election.

Thiel har öppet sagt att hans mål är att avskaffa demokratin och ersätta den med diktatur. Detta är läskigt.

"Wealth distribution is not as equal as we think it is, as current data doesn't account for off-shoring and tax evasion"

So it's even worse than we think it is??

We talk a lot about how rich people are greedy, but let's not forget that they are also lazy and refuse to work.

Thinking about historians who say that the left would have stopped Hitler's rise to power, except leftists were too busy fighting with each other.

Dunno why I'm thinking about that in 2025, must be some reason for it.

Capitalism is about getting free stuff. For every hour we work, capitalists who do nothing get free money.

Rich old men: Go kill and die to make us richer.

Young men: No, we don't think we will.

Rich old men: *invents toxic masculinity* Well now you have to or else you'll get called weak.

Critics: That's messed up.

Rich old men: Watch out, young men! Those critics are attacking you!

I was just reading this summer that this was right about the time inequality started (because the one who owned the plow got powerful), so now I can't help being that guy who ruins the joke 😖😖😖

I'm not a girlboss or a tradwife. I'm a secret third thing (union organizer)

Happy to! Thank you for being open-minded 🥰

Massive cuts to government spending. It means social security and Medicaid cut. School budgets, public transport slashed. Roads full of potholes that don't get fixed. Street lamps stop working. Parks sold to private owners. Libraries shut down. College tuition soars.

Socialism means workers are in charge. Tariffs and business subsidies have nothing to so with socialism.

It's perfectly possible. If a drug used to cost $50, they will now give you $7500 if you take it.

Can't wait for Trump to make that happen.

Nah, just the president isn't enough. Make Black women the ruling class.

I'm not a Black woman, but I would feel safer with that arrangement than 90% of any other possible arrangements.

Exactly.

If you only care about women being abused or assaulted when immigrants do it, then you don't care about women being abused or assaulted.
