Stranger, I don't care what you think. If you disagree, my life goes on. Just trying to share a useful way of thinking with you 🤷 I don't have an objective to care to play a semantic game with you. As the kids say "it's not that deep".
All right for starters, lazyness doesn't exist he was exactly right there. I mostly here this idea from other leftists. If you were a farmer and planted a bunch of seeds and some of those seeds never grew you wouldn't say they're lazy seeds You'd Stay their environment sucked and work on changing the soil or plant different seeds suited to that environment.
People are the same way as seeds. Our behavior changes based on environment. we are constantly ashamed for being lazy for not wanting to work that's not true, the environment just sucks ie the soil should be worked on, we should blame the farmers(ie the wealthy and powerful, those with real agency) not the seeds (working class people with less agency like you and me).
The only way these people whether it be the wealthy or politicians maintain power over so many of us is by somehow tricking us into prioritizing their wants and needs over our own. No evil empire exists in a star of wide spread selfish anarchy. For something like that to exist you need tons of people in that Empire who will prioritize it over themselves. The over whelmingly vast majority of not all people who are under the boot of capitalism and imperialism would be better off without it and it is in their own self-interest to pursue getting it the fuck off of them. That's a selfishness I can get behind.
The best motivated to get people active politically is to promote their own selfish interest. Shaming people into voting for someone they don't want to doesn't work. For example Hillary Clinton in 2016. You have to get your base excited for things that are in their own selfish interest.
I think there might also be a point of miscommunication. I'm not saying caring about the interests of others is bad in fact I think we are our best when we look after others but that doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue our own selfish interest as well. For example I'm not affected directly by the genocide and cause of but I yell people about it almost every day not sure if I'm helping but I'm trying. At the same time it is very much in my personal self-interest to change how housing is done in the US. I will pursue that very selfishly.
Does that help?
Yes I'm terrified! Honestly I'm thinking about moving to Vietnam. One it's socialist and check with my username I'm into that lol. Also like America is the world hegemon if it starts going after everybody or World War 3 breaks out I can't think of a safer place to be the Vietnam.
This may seem dramatic and hopefully it is but I don't think it is. Democrats won't use this power it or actually curtail it and as soon as another republican wins office this country will go full mask off fascist so fast. Honestly the mask might be off now. This frogs been boiled so long she's not sure if she's dead yet.
Democrats are too spineless for this. They'll just wait patiently for the Republicans to take power and do this to them instead.
Welp he's just gonna wait till let trump be the first to use it. We are still cooked. 🤡🔫
I don't think it's an idiotic thing to say. I think you're an idiot for dismissing it without reason.
I'm not going to waste my time with you
You taught me something. Thanks for sharing the wisdom stranger. 👈😎
Exactly this! you got to start asking yourselves what is in Biden's interest and it ain't our best interest. Just like Hillary Clinton's best interests weren't ours in 2016. These people are gambling with our democracy and they're bad gamblers.
I would definitely like him more if he did the latter. So there is something he can do and his enemies just gave him the ability but he's too much of a doormat to fascists to use it.
Have you considered that? Maybe the amount of attention Americans give the presidential election is many times more than any other election? Do you think Americans are more likely to know the current president and who they ran against In the last election than their own senator? Or their own member of the House of reps?
Do you think that might affect things?
Be serious my dude
Most student loans have not been canceled claiming that student loans have been canceled. It's just ingenuous and again it's the whole fake Biden is killing it narrative. Be honest.
Non-Competes are still in effect that ruling does not go into effect until September at the earliest and it is subject to many Court challenges before it will probably not happen. Regardless, it has not happened yet.
You say the problem is being worked on in these things take time for multiple things. In other words, Biden has not done anything on these fronts. You cannot give Biden credit for something that he has not done lol.
This is what I mean. Biden is milk toast at best. He's really just slowing our rate of decline more than he is actually doing a good job. The insistence that he is killing it or doing a good job when he is not and people are suffering is a bad strategy politically.
This giant list of things that turns out to be bs is the kind of thing making people more disillusioned. Stuff like this lowers voter turnout. Democrats lose when voter turnout is low. Do you see where this gets bad?
I think they got a point though. I think homeschooling should be illegal and I'm hung. 🪘🪘🥁 😏
Bernie would definitely outperform Biden. This is just a fact. Left-Wing candidates do better with higher voter turnout. They get higher voter turnout when people are actually excited about the person they're voting for, especially young people. Young people hate Biden. You can see this from all the protests about the genocide and Palestine he's enabling. Will have low voter turnout compared to Bernie. Biden might lose the election giving us Trump again.
Don't mean to tell you what you already know a stranger. Just saw you being gaslit and wanted you to know that you're not crazy 👈😎
Then they're going to blame us instead of taking responsibility when Trump wins. It's honestly infuriating.
