And this is why we’re never going to win. You’re not even playing the game. You’re preaching on a pedestal of quick sand. Trying to yell how morally better you are while your sinking is a bad position to be in. Maybe the reason why fascists win is because the opposition continues to act like they’re better when you need to break free of your base instinct. Like ants in a death spiral. We all circle tighter and tighter into our groups defensively.

A big part of why they’re winning in my opinion is not their appeal but a rejection of the left. And it’s becoming clear that maybe that’s a smart choice given that the left can’t accomplish anything.

Nobody wants to be a candidate for the left. Have you seen what we do to people we like. I’ve seen people here calling Jon Stewart a fascist. We cook our own alive. Republicans have files on every possible candidate. We have no loyalty. Imagine a hockey team where every player physically and verbally abuses every coach they get. At some point nobody wants to coach your team

God damit this sentence makes me want to blow my brains out. It’s too fucking thick in bullshit. You ever notice how the right will just call someone a pedo or gang member and that really works. It’s not like they go " he’s just socioeconomic poverty based victim of modern prison system" like just get to that point. Andrew is a grown man who targets children.

I like that countries invested millions into shit posting because how effective it is and people online who still shit post but only about their favorite marvel movies are like “if only we tried gathering in a random street for the hundred time with cardboard shit posts and no ability to spread this message will we succeed”

Think about it. What do we have and do for free that costs them millions to sustain

Imagine if everyone just donated $10. We could fund our own think tank one that actually does the research, develops strategy, identifies pressure points, crafts effective slogans, and figures out how to organize and target key demographics for real impact.

I’m tired of the usual approach where people are randomly called to show up and yell. It’s not working. Meanwhile, our opponents are using think tanks to play the long game and win. We’re playing checkers while they’re playing chess.

We need to face the facts: they’re outmaneuvering us. If we want to stand a chance, we have to stop reacting and start adapting, using some of the same strategic tools, but with our own values and purpose.

Ok Grandpa’s. Time to take you guys back home and turn unreal tournament back on

Nah it’s not like it could ever be used by big companies to further build their monopoly

The Government will retaliate. I wonder if all intentional students will now be under a watchful eye

I think it should. It fixes a lot of issues. There’s enough wealth out there that this concept could actually work. Any thriving nation should have a universal basic income to prevent all its citizens from succumbing to poverty. What’ do you think are the cons here?

The argument against is understandable. If you quickly look at it’s clearly a misappropriation of tax dollars. But hear me out on this. What if at the end of the day is costing the same if not less to fund this program.

With ubi you can get rid of a lot of government waste and all the administration that comes with each of those other programs. Social security, welfare, programs focused on poverty, subsidy. They’re all gone and the costs to fund these massive departments.

There’s also an argument that addiction and mental health epidemic is worsened by poverty. By providing people with basic needs we can reduce suffering massively. This benefits everyone.

It also encourages entrepreneurs. People will have more ability to take risks with their ideas. No longer would starting a business be isolated to trust fund kids and people with strong safety nets.

It helps solve the problem of AI risking other people’s jobs. This makes it easier for us to fully adopt new technology and automation helping the country to be competitive in this new area without fear of increasing poverty.

Just look at recent events. Having all this wealth concentrated on the hands of guys who review pizza places or these Dynasty’s that go back generations is not benefiting us. They play with the lives of everyone so casually that it creates a lot of suffering and we still lose all that wealth and get nothing for it. Watching the way these billionaires casually lose millions over the past few months and not care while they argue that they can’t even be taxed has opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Our countries are suffering and dying out because wealth stealing it’s concentration by the upper crust of all our nation’s. It’s not immigrants. It’s not politicians. It’s not the drug users. It’s the upper class stealing from us.

I agree fully. This would be the single greatest thing we could do.

Having kids changed my view. Originally I believed nature influenced our gender roles. Since having kids I have seen in my kids and others that there are clear differences in how both boys and girls interact with the world and both are pretty incredible to watch. I think maybe the idea that being more stoic and less emotional is ok.

Saying all that, there are definitely cultural influences that can take these inherent traits to toxic levels.

I’d like to see studies showing when kids are left to their own that they will trend towards non traditional gender based toys. My gut is believing that this may not need proof that girls and boys do not experience emotions with similar intensity.

One thing I think is a clear difference is attention to details between men and women. What I worry is that if we start thinking men and women are more similar than they are we could run into problems when average people wrongly assume the other experiences things they do.

So many lines of just fucked up insults. Lame ass ones too. Not a Red hat. But also not like you. Proof is already provided.

I think it’s in our nature.

That is the proof. You don’t know what you’re arguing. I’m not saying what they said is valid. I’m saying their opinion is a common opinion. My proof is their opinion and your reaction to it.

The comment is the proof. I can also go on to r/conservative or r/h3 to show similar ideas.

My point is, Lemmy and others on the left are so holed up in corners like Lemmy that they are unprepared to actually engage.

People on the left do not engage with the world. Second of all, calling everyone Nazi and fascists isn’t doing Jack shit. Fucking evolve and adapt

Now print it out and poster it around town.

We’re turning into trump supporters with our vilification and exaggeration of real life
