Yeah, Reagan was the one responsible for the American retirement system outside of social security shifting from a pension based system to a 401k based one.

When I'm working a customer service job and I say "Have a nice <X>" and the customer says "You too". I do cackle to myself knowing that they messed up, and that they know they messed up.

Facebook spokeswoman Elizabeth Bourgeois.

with NATO yes. They are heavily backed by Turkey usually.

Even then reddit is incredibly hamfisted with the way it approaches propaganda. Just throwing awards at radio free asia news stories in r/worldnews and having mods deleting every comment that criticizes the source (even when this amounts to 40-50% of total comments).

Even the fratbros were mad about Dobbs because most of them don't actually give a fuck about being pro-life and they also knew it would make women more cautious

No that is Trump's former Press Secretary (the 4th of 4)

A Democrat managing to win a statewide election in Alaska is incredibly funny. Apparently it was ranked choice with 1 other Republican, and of the votes who went to the other guy that got eliminated in the first round, 50% went to Palin, 30% to Peltola, and 20% were too disgusted/didn't know how it worked/couldn't be bothered to rank someone 2nd.

Civ 4 requires fascism as your ideology to build Mt. Rushmore so that's cool.

Gen Z is by far the most left wing cohort in the US rn. They have some unique brainworms but the idea that they're more reactionary than millenials is right wing cope/false conclusions drawn from the gamergate days.

There is 1 (one) MtF transgender athlete in Utah highschool sports.

This character was one of the first if not the origin of the word "trap", and calling them a trap means they find the bait enticing.

Exactly. Democrats could control 435/435 seats in the House and 100/100 seats in the senate and that shit still wouldn't pass.

No, it's not empty. Abortion is locked in the Kansas state constitution, and if the overwhelmingly Republican Kansas legislature had the power to change that without popular referendum they would have done so. They don't, so they tried to do it with a referendum, and the results are as you see here.

There is a scene where the poorer passengers get locked into the lower levels, yes. Leo doesn't suffer from this because he's constantly hanging out with the rich ppl, but he is arrested a cuffed to a radiator after being accused of stealing by the girl's jealous fiance.

Converting the people in a communist country by showing them a film where the poor people are locked below decks in a sinking ship and forced to die because there are only enough life boats for rich people (which they don't even fill properly).

The Christian publications can get it right sometimes. This piece, titled "Three Cheers for Socialism" is rather famous for it's dissection of America and it's aversion to collectivist policy, e.g.

Americans are, of course, the most thoroughly and passively indoctrinated people on earth. They know next to nothing as a rule about their own history, or the histories of other nations, or the histories of the various social movements that have risen and fallen in the past, and they certainly know little or nothing of the complexities and contradictions comprised within words like “socialism” and “capitalism.” Chiefly, what they have been trained not to know or even suspect is that, in many ways, they enjoy far fewer freedoms, and suffer under a more intrusive centralized state, than do the citizens of countries with more vigorous social-democratic institutions. This is at once the most comic and most tragic aspect of the excitable alarm that talk of social democracy or democratic socialism can elicit on these shores. An enormous number of Americans have been persuaded to believe that they are freer in the abstract than, say, Germans or Danes precisely because they possess far fewer freedoms in the concrete. They are far more vulnerable to medical and financial crisis, far more likely to receive inadequate health coverage, far more prone to irreparable insolvency, far more unprotected against predatory creditors, far more subject to income inequality, and so forth, while effectively paying more in tax (when one figures in federal, state, local, and sales taxes, and then compounds those by all the expenditures that in this country, as almost nowhere else, their taxes do not cover). One might think that a people who once rebelled against the mightiest empire on earth on the principle of no taxation without representation would not meekly accept taxation without adequate government services. But we accept what we have become used to, I suppose. Even so, one has to ask, what state apparatus in the “free” world could be more powerful and tyrannical than the one that taxes its citizens while providing no substantial civic benefits in return, solely in order to enrich a piratically overinflated military-industrial complex and to ease the tax burdens of the immensely wealthy?

Yeah season 3 showed Hughie and Butcher going through a phase of more radical action after Hughie found out he was working for controlled opposition lady who is definitely not AOC, and this was depicted as a self-destructive and not worthwhile endeavor. They've kind of already primed things for some 3rd way bullshit but we'll see.

They're appointing this guy to lead AFRICOM lmfao

I love how it's completely fucking over for wisconsin because they handed Republicans control ONCE during the height of the tea party movement (also a redistricting year). Democrats won 7-8% more votes in the 2018 elections and that resulted in the State Assembly being split 60-30 in favor of Republicans. Just nothing to be done except [REDACTED].
