Yeah. But are we sure they’re actually straight? Or guys?

I posit that many of these instances are poor, unfortunate queers so completely subsumed by their internalized homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia that they’re in complete denial about the fact that they are not actually cishet men.

If you’re attracted to this body type in a woman it could be because the gay culture has gotten ahold of you

That’s true, you could be attracted to this body type because you’re a lesbian.

What they actually mean is, “Capitalism is the only system that lets me chase my dreams of ruthlessly exploiting the poor.”

“jus love smashin boats, simple as”

Also I like that his name is basically “purple guy”

The two-and-a-half war doctrine, two wars and a limited conflict.

A big part of the “selfishness is human nature” thought process comes from Puritan brainworms. The Protestant work ethic and the belief that one’s desire to have the basic necessities of life is inherently selfish form the basis of American capitalism, thus the idea that one must be worked beyond their limits in order to simply continue to live becomes baked into the fabric of society.

Basically everything wrong with America is John Calvin’s fault at its source.

Honestly, the bear spray will work just fine if you forget the pepper spray. The inverse is not true.

Dudes like this truly make meat consumption their entire personality.

Both at the same time. Gun + spinny skirt. Powerful friend type.

Sorry, what’s the context of wisconcom?

No no no no, he ordered hummus

Any chance someone could explain what this actually means for us ancient pre-Generation-Roblox boomers born before Hurricane Katrina?

Means tested, Applies to only a handful of people, barely even helps the people it does apply to, doesn’t include any funding, already failed to pass in this legislative session.

Yep, it’s Bipartisan Legislation Time.

OMG, is that a collectable limited edition Commander Data bubble bath???

Non-functional Testicle.

Me.

Ah, yes. Bioshock. A series best known for its conservative values.

So we should doubt climate change because capitalists will use it as a justification to achieve their goals?

Comrade, I’m not trying to suggest you are a right-winger. I’m just saying that these sources may not be as authoritative and reliable as you may have thought. Even if voltairenet is respectable on geopolitics, why would a geopolitics expert be the person you’d trust on climate change, rather than a climate scientist?

A conversation on 9/11 is probably best left for another thread, my points are simply that A. People can be wrong, B. Just because someone is good at one thing doesn’t mean we should trust them on another, and C. When the research and scientific methods being used for something are dubious at best and intentionally misleading at worst, we probably shouldn’t trust those sources.

What would be the benefit to the West for nations like China to deindustrialise? The west lacks the industrial capacity to support itself, let alone the entire world. It also both cannot and will not ramp up production as it would be simultaneously far too costly, and would give far too much labour power to workers for the capitalists’ comfort. So is their ultimate goal just global degrowth? That doesn’t really track.
