I’ve heard many people posit the idea that Americans do not have a culture, but I think it’s worse than that.
American hogs love being atomized, narcissistic, individualistic consumers and will lash out at anything that threatens that.
I fear this just is what American culture IS.
After several rounds of trying to radicalize the democrats in my life, watching them revert back to their bullshit the second something bad happens — I can’t fucking do it anymore. I got my Mom and frankly that’s all I care about.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t try, I would never say that, but check out if you’re gonna loose yourself.
*as of right now
We could get extra lucky too and Trump dies 3 weeks into office and we get 12 years of that fucking psychopath
did she even make enough of a dent to play spoiler? it’s like getting mad at someone for eating one of your chips but you own the frito lay company
I swear to god if/when they go full on support for Palestine now I’m gonna get fucking whiplash.
The alternative is Trump does a Reagan and tells Israel to knock it off and the libs go even more frothing mad.
Either way I’m gonna fucking lose my mind.
The 2032 election is the most important election of our lives. If you see a non-white non-male trying to VOTE please contact the authorities.
Me and my idiot friends were saying hog in middle school 20 years ago.
TES6 is going to suck because over the course of 20 years Bethesda has simply refused to learn anything about modern game design.
I’ve been plugging away at Kenshi for a few days trying to figure out where the fun was and wasn’t finding it.
Today I inadvertently stumbled into the Dust King tower and now I’m rich and starting a mega base.
Is it presumptuous and arrogant to say that there are no unicorns, sasquatches, or dragons?
Yes. Universe is pretty damn big and I ain’t seen all of it.
lmao got me
if I had to pick I’m going atheists because at least they haven’t launched a holy war or crusade
I’m agnostic these days, mostly because I don’t claim to know anything about what happens to you after you die. Nobody fucking knows and claiming you are certain “nothing” happens is just the other side of the “faith” coin.
Which is funny, I am a “nothing happens” believer but I wouldn’t call myself an atheist. It’s just way too presumptuous and arrogant imo.
Additional hot take: if someday atheism became a larger movement it would absolutely be capable of reproducing many of the same atrocities made in the name of religion
wym they’re right
Not sustainable for who? Cheap advertising is sustainable, preferable for companies even. The people getting paid poorly to hawk Hello Fresh might have some sustainability issues but they’re just the same old standard Capitalism issues.
I don’t know, this person maybe saying “Capitalism isn’t sustainable” and that was the point they were making. But it reads like a normie shitting on people trying to get by.
this is my “basic level humanity horse” actually my moral high horse was killed by Elizabeth Warren
My response to people who say “if we don’t vote for Kamala then X will happen to Y here at home…” has just been “Why can’t she do both?” If they continue after that then I just say “If the price for my rights is thousands of dead Palestinians, I refuse to bargain with the devil.”
Ranged always ranged no matter the setting. Give me a bow or a sniper or a PPC please.
Thank god these soros bux keeping coming in otherwise I’m leaving you dirty commies in the dust
Most Americans in my experience don’t know what either word means. If you use either one they just make up something seemingly on vibes.
It’s a little more interesting when you describe policy without using the words.
Describe something communists would do: “Ya that sounds good we should do that.” Call it communism: “That’s a bad idea.”
Describe something fascists would do: “That’s evil” Call it fascism: “Not everything is fascism.”
Some people even use the words interchangeably as if they mean the same thing.
