35 percent do. I am mildly worried what happens with ranked choice voting and all the idiots that are voting for the rest of the losers. It’s not like the Democratic primary where basically all the “no chance” rank 1 people were gonna put Mamdani as their second or third choice.
Nice. I learned about different applications of whisper because I’m a degenerate.
Pretty sure they mean million.
Sure. But have you considered that line must go up?
Dude. Like half of our GDP is about selling shit that we pretend exists.
Arrr! The profits do be!
Oh man, you’d be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.
Context? Like as a threat to AOC or to ICE?
Yeah. It really doesn’t have to be political brain rot anymore.
Maybe it’s not in this case…we’ll see. But we’re going to have cases of complete normies going “nothing left to lose” after their loved ones or friends are taken/killed by ICE.
Imagine finding out your partner/kids were taken from their job/school. You can’t. I can’t. There is no law or order that matters to people when the “law and order” are the ones doing it.
And at some point, hopefully, we all realize that those people are the sane ones. The people standing by and watching it happen well…
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
By “left” I’m assuming you mean liberals. “The left” doesn’t really have elected politicians. Unless you count Mamdani and he’s not even fully elected yet.
Someone’s gotta do it eventually. Maybe some radicalized Tesla or SpaceX employee.
While I wouldn’t normally sympathize with “MAGAts” I would say especially in this case the people that are being hurt the most our the people I would consider victims of a system of anti-science and anti-education.
We can point the finger at the individuals that choose this (excluding their poor children obviously) but I think it’s unfair to point that finger when the vast majority of them are essentially “children” in terms of their education.
I would sooner judge individual well educated liberals that fall victim to “new age heal yourself remedies” than I would the the highschool dropout in the southern state that “doesn’t trust the government.”
They are both victims to misinformation but one is given significantly less information (and more propaganda) to come to the wrong conclusions.
Idk. I just pitty them more I guess. I just see them as victims to a larger narrative that only benefits the ruling class. I can’t really bring myself to place blame on them. Only pitty.
If the blame for measles resurgence can be put on a few idiots. Then, well, society has failed. There is no scenario in which a handful of people can cause that. It is a systemic problem that needs to be reflected on.

I mean the average person in the professional/managerial class is not Che. The entire point is to analyze it from material incentives. That is the tools of dialectical materialism that we have at our disposal.
The material interests of the professional class aligns with the capitalist class. I’m in that class technically. I’m a well paid software engineer that gets a large portion of my pay in stock. I’m doing well.
I know that my material interests are aligned with the success of capital. I have to make a conscious choice to be a class traitor and work against my own material interests. And that’s easier for me. I’m not even a manager or a landlord.
You’re kind of proving my point using an example like Che. He literally was educated into Marxism through personal experience throughout motorcycle diaries.
The average person in the professional/managerial class is not like me and definitely not like Che.
The UN has no power against the United States. The UN was setup to favor western powers and ideally prevent them from having direct war with one another again. Until the US bombs another Western country in the UN there is so reason to look to the UN for anything but empty condemnation.
Sure. My point wasn’t that. My point is that there are still a not insignificant amount of people that are a part of the professional/managerial class who’s material interests align with that of the ruling capitalist class of billionaires.
There is still a portion of “working” people that benefit enough from neoliberalism that they continue to believe that capitalism is a fair system that benefits hard work.
There absolutely are. There are a lot of people at the top (not even billionaires) that are making tons of money as the working class suffer.
Not really. Could be something entirely fine but requiring monthly medication. If you can’t afford that. You’re fuck.
We have people rationing insulin in this country for Christ sake.
Yes. But unironically. We finally found out what it would have been like if Bernie has won the primary. The Dems would have thrown everything at him losing the general. Probably calling him antisemitic along the way.
