Imagine if Biden did this when judges blocked student loan forgiveness. Would have been the opposite reaction. But no, we have to obey these made up rules that keep us from having anything good

Something more meaningful

I wish would hurry up about it so I can stop going into work

Oh I just assumed he just defaults to it as an insult whenever he’s flustered, like when he called some hecklers in a crowd Soros agents

Obscenities were apparently hurled as Mr Bessent ridiculed Doge’s work and Mr Musk dismissed the Treasury secretary as a “Soros agent”.

really needs to get new material. Calling people Soros agents only work when you’re among chuds

There was also some article saying they wanted to pivot to social media. They’re just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks because they have no clue how to monetize chatgpt

Would China really open up to more immigration? I was looking it up and for my job field they def don’t need my type.

I feel that immigration in the west is only permitted as much as it is because of how it serves capitalism - having an underclass of workers without the same rights as citizens so they can be exploited.

Emerson’s philosophy appealed to me at a phase in my life since it was alot about becoming self-dependent, which I viewed as a strength. By the time I actually read him though, I went through alot of changes in consciousness (ie Marxism) and saw through his fallacious arguments (also every speech was prefaced with something like “this was spoken at a ceremony for Harvard grads” so it was making privileged people feel better about themselves)

Thoreau also really appealed to me because I did feel “lonely among people” and thought that was just inherent in me. I think he’s a little better than Emerson though, and he did protest against the invasion of Mexico and was arrested for it iirc. Don’t know much about his views on race.

The other American that interested me was William James. I don’t know much about his politics. I feel that pragmatism is actually what has become the status quo in America, and does alot to explain some the current ideology of the average american

This makes sense. But what is China’s strategy? Just sell them all the Tungsten they want if they remove tariffs? Surely they know US is trying to start a war with them

He always tries to use big words to sound smart but in the dumbest ways. It still works on his fanboys though

It’s the system. Only capitalism can make someone like the richest man in the world. I don’t believe a true meritocracy can exist, but I believe we live in the opposite of one.

He has constantly made false promises for the last 15 years and yet people (with money) still trust him

The replies are all white people whose feelings are hurt

Why won’t they just like me

True!

That actually doesn’t give me confidence in the CPC. If the US government officials were STEM brains we’d be even further cooked than we are now. They are all Dunning-Kruger’s when it comes to economics

Capitalism will kill itself

All the social functions of the capitalist are now performed by salaried employees. The capitalist has no further social function than that of pocketing dividends, tearing off coupons, and gambling on the Stock Exchange, where the different capitalists despoil one another of their capital.

Not to defend the work culture, but I hear Huawei is 100% employee owned. So at least there’s that

Lmao what is even the logic?

How can it be a death camp if he’s drinking a margarita outside of it?

So, genocide, not a big deal, but tariffs tanking the stock market? That’s a line too far.

You right, but also I think this is an opportunity better used for educating and guiding them on the right path rather than trying to shame them. I would kill right now to get some of the apolitical people around me to give just a tiny bit of shit about something other than trying to save up for retirement or treats
