“don’t talk to the police” is above for not incriminating yourself and also not reporting stuff that isn’t hurting anyone. If you think someone is kidnapped or missing you should call the police immediately. If they want to interrogate you then don’t talk to them and get a lawyer there asap

Harambee was the tipping point to start the weirdness multiple reality wave collapse.

… You don’t know what the New Deal was, do you?

Why would a new deal get rid of after school programs? If would expand on them.

Or is my 10yr or 6yr old supposed to get a job?

Yeah man they have started rolling back those regulations for child labor.

I’ve decided to actively take the flag back from conservatives. There are some good ideals and good people in this country, and good people who fought for those ideals. I’m not proud of most of what the government has done and all of what it is doing now, but I can be proud of the people who want to get along with everyone and fight for diversity and freedom and the good things that should be fought for.

Thiel has worried that Western civilization had entered a period of long-term stagnation in the 1970s which will continue unless there is a radical shake-up. This stagnation has many dimensions: lower economic growth, fewer world-changing scientific discoveries, and a general cultural malaise.

Imagine looking back at the proud of time where there was literally the most advances in the wildest technology and thinking it’s stagnation. It was from a time period where people remembered refrigeration as new and exciting to the time where your phone has more computing power than the ones that put people on the moon, and it’s in your freaking pocket, and say that technology stagnated.

As for the lower economic growth and the “stagnating” culture, that’s squarely on the shoulders of corporations, and therefore, billionaires.

That’s too generous.

You don’t get to tell me what you remind me of, or how I take it. Just got you meant it.

So yeah, when you come in saying how stuff isn’t going to work when there’s a glimmer of hope, it’s disheartening, and that’s the effect you had on me.

For someone who wants to think strategically, maybe work on your presentation if you ever hope to be inspirational.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’ve absolutely given up on any hope of things getting better. We’re talking pie in the sky hypotheticals here. It’s just nice to see other people want pie, too.

You’re just being a reminder that we shouldn’t want those things and give up.

The article is saying that people in the rust belt are sick of both the warm Pepsi and the hammer, so now would be a great time to come in swinging with cool water because at this point people would actually vote them in over both.

Seen it, is better, not heraldic, still hate the old one so much. Secret my ass everyone knew what that flag meant

we all know the real reason for the change

Why does everyone complain about the progress flag when the poly flag is right there and is terrible? Absolute garbage. Terrible color choices. Barely holds up to heraldic color rules. and Pi? Seriously? Get out of here you fucking nerd. 2/10, workshop it and come back. I hate it.

I’m cool with poly people, this is just the flag equivalent of biting your tongue when eating a burrito.

I agree with you for the most part, but there is a thread you missed.

While there might not be a significant leftist media personality which says misandrist things, there are a lot of smaller people who do. There’s an air of “men are not welcome here, specifically cishet men” in lefty spaces. And people who try to speak out against it tend to be ousted. (Case study Erin Pizzey) There wouldn’t be a demand for “male tears” mugs out there if there wasn’t a demand for them.

Whether you think this behavior is acceptable or not, it doesn’t make the left seem appealing to young men, especially because it’s not called out by people.

But yeah, the top down media? A huge machine that’s a problem. The left will have a hard time replicating it, especially because when you live in hyper capitalism, it’s not really in the benefit of capitalists to try to fix it.

I don’t think that’s inherently true for all feminism, though there’s definitely been some bad actors. Actresses.

Depends on what part of the left you’re talking about, but yeah, these are things which have to change in order for it to work well.

Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!

I kinda agree on your points. I feel that working class heros could make a comeback if done well, though.

Hell ideally I’d like to see more historical stuff based on labor history, Blair Mountain was crazy and could totally be an action movie.

l feel that the acceptance of LGBT people has actually had a beneficial effect on cishet men in ways most people aren’t aware of.

Dating is a good example. Traditionally the guy asks the girl out and pays for everything. This system sucks. It means men feel desperate and have to prove their worth (financial and otherwise) feeling lonely and worthless and women are stuck with the constant stream of guys trying to hit on them, dealing with harassment and worse.

But with more acceptance of homosexual relationships, that traditional method of dating doesn’t apply. The old “but who’s the guy” confusion goes away, and people as a whole realize that it’s stupid. If you see a post about a woman insisting a guy pays for everything or a guy insisting on ordering for his date they seem old fashioned and weirdly demanding. Most people wouldn’t bat an eye about a girl asking a guy out on a date now, and I’ll bet there’s some old newspaper headlines about some lady doing that in the past.

By your nature you’re helping to break down these dysfunctional systems and it’s actually helping people, so thanks a lot for that!

I mean, if you really were the ultimate nihilist, you wouldn’t have a problem with manliness because it wouldn’t matter anyway.

I said it was badass when it was first used, was talking about George Washington and stuff from the one article that was posted. Hate what it means now.
