Alternative truths are compelling for lots of reasons, but the vindication they give you is a big one. It feels good.

Basic Income as Liquid Infrastructure: The Bruce Lee Argument for UBI "Be formless, shapeless, like water..."

Universal Basic Income: "You are different people with different needs. I only want what's best for all of you."

Universal Basic Income is automatic, unconditional, paperwork-free insurance we can actually use. It's always thereβ€”before, during, and after uncontrollable shocks occur. It's a non-withdrawable stable floor for a stable society. Want certainty? UBI delivers it; same amount, same date, every month.

Will MAGA be pissed when they finally realized the point of all this was to parcel the country off into city states and sell them to the highest bidder?
Maybe, between the sportswashing and the mask hiding the law enforcers race I think they will just get back to work.

No people have to be exterminated, the problems are institutional and systematic, only the institutions and systems causing the problems need to be exterminated, or reformed to a similar extent.
Like the Catholic Church would have to come clean about the god nonsense and stop hiding their ledgers.

Hegseth declares an end to 'politically correct' leadership in the US military Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of U.S. military officials to an in-person meeting to announce directives for troops that include β€œgender-neutral” or β€œmale-level” standards for physical fitness as well as an end to β€œwoke” culture in the military.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he's loosening disciplinary rules and weakening hazing protections at rare meeting of top military leaders.

And this all assumes that things like preventing nazi propaganda and getting us to "play nice" are in the interests of the people in charge to begin with.

AI is a great tool, driving artists out of business to feed a massive corporate institution that seeks to eliminate your freedoms... that's the opposite of progress.
It's like how cars are a great tool, but in the US the auto-industry has hamstrung our society.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

I often wonder how willful ignorance squares with hanlon's razor.
Is refusing to comprehend the consequences of their actions a defense for their continued support of systemic pedophilia?

Ironically, teaching kids to hate the country exactly what US programming has done.

The country is the relationships between it's people, that's it. The flag is not the country.

When we demand "unity" at the expense of individuality we create hate that spreads indiscriminately through our country.

It's programming, we were forced to salute and pray to the flag every day of school growing up.
My earliest memories are of how one kid not doing the pledge throws the whole school into motion to punish them.

Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry’s in 2000 for $326 million. At the time, Ben & Jerry’s said the partnership would help the progressive Vermont-based ice cream company expand its social mission.

I feel like some Americans do not realize that for many Americans the civil war did not end. The confederate battle flag has been so normalized we don't think about what it means when someone flies it, it means war.

Charlie Kirk was a soldier in the "brotherhood" of white supremacy.

Property owner faces possible legal action over Minneapolis encampment Short of a court order, Hamoudi Sabri said there’s nothing the city can do to make him close off his property from people who need a place to sleep. Mayor Jacob Frey is expected to brief city council ...

A real estate developer has allowed dozens of people to stay on an empty lot that he owns, racking up at least $15,000 in fines for public health citations. But unless he’s presented with a court order, Hamoudi Sabri said there’s nothing the city can do to make him close off his property.

People claiming we should nuke every country whose name they can't pronounce has been a staple of family gatherings since nukes were invented.
It's so easy to underestimate just how casually hateful MAGA and Christian Nationalists in general are, they will say they are doing you a favor too.
