Even if they don’t give those positions to them they certainly won’t punish someone for having those same views. And that’s another part of it, where people who aren’t actively bad are still passively enabling everyone who is because it doesn’t affect them personally.

And his base will still say there’s more proof about the dog thing despite it being 100% fabricated.

No one with a brain, sure, but we’re talking about the US here. Too many people to handwave think he’snthe second coming of Christ or was chosen by god for a holy mission.

Yea, just gunna carry my laptop around with me everywhere. And that’s not even talking about all the nonsense on laptops that most people can’t deal with.

I would say you’re missing some nuance in these arguments, though.

With a phone people no longer need laptops or full-sized computers and they also get a phone and camera to go along with it. They get a lot of power even just using fairly mundane apps like email, file storage, and a calendar. And then you have access to the internet and all the power that comes with that. I also don’t know why you think phones show ads.

AI, on the other hand, is hot fucking garbage at everything it does. Why anyone uses it I can’t say, it’s so bad and it’s known that it’s actively making people dumber. I don’t touch the stuff and my life has been going just fine.

A big problem is that people need smartphones for so much of modern life. You can stop watching Disney and your life won’t meaningfully change but it’s really hard to avoid evil smartphone companies. Part of me wants to switch from Apple but what would I go to? Samsung who’s just as bad about right to repair? Google who’s Google? I’m not saying it’s impossible but I’m not going to say that the choice is as easy as cancelling a streaming service.

“Anti-Netanyahu Israel supporters”? What, people who hate the leader but are fine with the slaughter and subsequent extermination of an entire ethnic group? And the only reason why people “can’t work with them” is because they get mad if you say that Israel is committing a genocide?

Anti-MAGA conservatives are also still very wrong and we have piles of evidence to show it. Compromising and making them feel good abojt how they’re only just now realizing how bad the far-right is while still clearly not learning the bigger lesson isn’t going to help anyone and instead just muddy the water.

There are a lot of progressive people who would get energized by a better campaign. Just gotta actually do that.

If they weren’t so cringe they’d have friends and be less insecure. These two things alone make it harder to be a fascist right out the gate.

As yes, BMI, an incredibly generic measurement used more as a rough first step and also worth less when someone weighs more due to muscle mass, which I imagine soldiers have a fair amount of.

Well, the US is pretty useless, at least institutionally, when it comes to resisting right-wing demands. The Democrats(the party) will give up pretty much whatever and then cry about it while doing nothing. “Someone must stop him!” just doesn’t have the same ring when coming out of the people who have the most power to do something about it.

Why couldn’t it also be what he really wants? What part of anything happening in the US and anything coming from the right could possibly signal that they don’t want this?

Conservatism is a cancer and fascism is perfectly happy to turn that knob up to 11.

Nor how they can scrape together $11,000. But then again, some of the dumbest people around are billionaires and their special skill is “being shitty to others” so maybe it’s believeable enough.

There’s a lot in this article that goes through it. The split is way too close for a generation that you hope would be fairly solidly progressive. The women are doing well, the men are really struggling to hold up their end, especially the white men.

Not even normal soldiers, but as decoration. They’ll be there to make him look good, for “optics”, and will serve the same function as furniture and wall art. All for a talk that is about army fitness and not anything requiring terribly delicate security?

If they have any self-respect they’ll be talking amongst eachother right now saying the same shit and deciding not to go. Besides, if security is the reason they should all be gathered then security is also the reason why that’s a terrible idea.

Because the person I replied was trying to say that the person they replied to was falling for propaganda and compared it to call millenials lazy. We know for a fact that millenials generally work harder, and for less, than the older generations that were/are doing the complaining. In this case, we the older generation is complaining about Gen Z not being nearly as progressive as one would expect, even to the point where we can say they actually have a problem with conservatism, and the statistics back that up as fact.

TL;DR: “millenials are lazy” is made up to try to pay us less despite the statistics showing it to be a huge lie and “GenZ has way too many conservatives” is an observable fact complete with actual numbers.

I didn’t edit anything, bud.

Edit: Here, I’ll even edit this one incase your platform shows that information but you’ve just never seen it before.

“Why are you being mean to me?!?!”

“…I’m sorry for being a little flustered but I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You’re doing it again!”

I’m not even the first guy. Tik Tok is a mess and if it dies that’s probably not the worst thing. Ot sure what your deal is.

Only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris and Gen Z males have a pretty big far-right problem. It’s not random nonsense about eating dirt or being on their phones, they’re actually being pretty fucking awful at way too high a rate for people that young.

Awww baby is upsetty.
