No, no, my food's not genetically modified. It's just been developed via artificial selection for thousands of years.
I don't think I support any harmful republican policies. Some non-harmful ones, sure, but nothing that I can see needlessly harming people. And I don't vote for them anyways. If you don't believe me, feel free to make your accusations a bit more specific.
I don't know this neoliberalism fella, I just don't like to see people suffer needlessly. Radicalization can lead to isolation, which can contribute to depression. I can't stand for that.
It's not a guilt thing for me. I've never voted for them, and I don't think they're fascist anyways. Not most of them, at least. The term's been pretty overapplied, which helps to radicalize.
I don't support either American political party. They're playing this radicalization game with each other, making it an effectively two-party system, gerrymandering, and doing whatever else to keep themselves in power. I'm planning to vote third party in the next election to at least take a step towards disrupting that.
Whenever I see a political thread here, it seems like the comment section is dominated by the most extreme of the left, with takes like "All right wingers are part of the MAGA crowd and advocating genocide" and "The right wing is weak, stupid, evil, and dangerous so we need to shut it down."
As a centrist (not a rightist,) I don't like this. We need rational discourse, not extremism and hate. Actually talk with reasonable people from outside your political circle please. (Reasonable people, not the right wing extremists that seem to be the only right-wingers y'all hear about.) Remember when we actually had a class struggle that made the people in power nervous instead of identity politics that get the working class fighting each other?
But then, most of the places I talk in are pretty politically left-leaning, so I guess being a centrist does make me look right-wing to a lot of people. I'm rarely seen pushing back against right-wing ideas, but that's because I rarely see right-wing ideas being presented (outside of leftists pointing at rightist ridiculousness) to push back against. That probably has to do with the internet as a whole leaning more left than right.
Ah yes, freedom, one of the major parts of fascism...
I'm no economist, but is that 70% of wealth money or net worth? If you own a company but live at an average standard, that company is still part of your net worth, even though it's not being wasted on luxury.
Jeff Bezos, for example, has a net worth of $158 billion. He owns about 10% of Amazon, which comes out to $133 billion. That means 84% of his wealth is just Amazon itself. The remaining $25 billion is still huge, of course. I'm not denying that. But if every other billionaire is in a similar layout (which I suspect they are,) then having them live at an average standard is not going to cut our work down to 30%.
Props for transcription.
What is up with that baby?
New quest: Stand in a public place (college campus might be good) with an exclamation mark over your head and a quest to give anyone who asks, and a suitable reward ready (like candy or something cheap like that.)
Came here looking for this. Thank you.
There are a few possibilities:
