I very strongly disagree. It may appear that way, but community is simply less profitable than “influencers”, so communities aren’t invested in. Social media and even following influencers/content creators is an example of people looking for community, just not having healthy communities to pick from.

The rich are actively trying to be yote into space. All we’re saying is redirect their rockets to ensure they don’t come home again.

Based on my understanding of non-religiously biased history, the character of Jesus Christ is an amalgamation of many Jewish prophets who preached a generally similar message.

People who would ever consider voting for the Toupee have no standards. No bar, no logic or even thought goes in to who they vote for.

The people who are planning to vote against the Toupee have standards. And the Democratic party has continually failed to meet those standards. And the only time the people have any power to pressure a politician is when they’re running for office. Anyone claiming “just vote in the D, then we can focus on getting progress made” is a centrist who is ok being perpetually part of the oppressed class.

Yes, we need to vote against the Toupee, and the GOP in general. We also need a presidential administration who will get progress done. And since the human species has, at best, 30 years left before the majority of the world is uninhabitable, little baby steps won’t cut it.

So Harris and the Dems have a high bar. Because the alternative is fascism, or death by climate change.

A $10k emergency fund? Even banks don’t carry enough cash these days for a working class person to be able to rob a bank to have that kind of money.

Have you heard about Rocket money? If you’re so bad with money that you don’t know where it all goes, rocket money will help you with that (in exchange for money)! It must be good, a bunch of YouTubers and podcasters are paid to recommend it!

please don’t take this as a sincere recommendation, I hate that it exists

It’s less brainwashing, and more that minimum wage hasn’t gone up in that time, but cost of living has skyrocketed.

What goes in, eventually comes out the other end.

The US doesn’t benefit, but a few privately owned corporations and a handful of already way too wealthy monsters benefit.

But since they own the US government, it doesn’t really matter if the other 99.998% of people in the US, plus 100% of Palestinians suffer.

That’s actually exactly why it’s a bad cleaning agent, at least for sterilization purposes. It evaporates before it can kill any microbes.

I’ve been to swing dance classes in a few cities. The instructors are usually not professionals, and still fit the bill.

Dancers be hot.

Hey now, that’s not fair to say. Most Christian denominations promote terrible science education, not just the Mormons.

I’m not entirely sure about millennia, but capitalism has been around for at least as long as currency has. That too has changed names but the idea of whoever is born with the most gets to steal the most is older than all existing civilizations.

Left of fascism, but not leftist. Bernie frickin Sanders is barely left of center.

It said MSNBC had a leftist bias. The bot, and by extension its developers, have as much credibility as your Fox News watching uncle who calls everything they don’t like “communism”.

Snow doesn’t exist, it’s a hoax made up by libruls and skiers to make truck owners look bad!

Neither is Xmas. Both holidays were co-opted (or stolen) by early Christians to get “the pagans” to convert.

It’s capitalism keeping us from having home lives that is the inhumane part.

We’re already there, in a sort of way. Products aren’t built to last, aren’t built to be repaired. Buy a new phone, computer, washing machine, every year! You wouldn’t want the social embarrassment of not having the latest gadgets! And if that fails, we’ll just release a patch that prevents the irreplaceable battery from lasting a full day.

Plus after computers made it so one person could do the job of 100, entire new industries popped up to do meaningless jobs shuffling digital money around. Some of the most comfortably-paying upper-working-class jobs are entirely pointless. But it keeps educated people from questioning the system. As long as they get a cushy paycheck twice a month they’ll happily make another B2B web 3.0 cloud-based KPI tracking analytics platform and not question if their job is meaningful.

You mean extended unemployment, seeing people turn medical fact into political beliefs, not having the opportunity to spend time with the few people that don’t annoy me, and day drinking?

Please sir may we have another
