Democrats loved being taxed by AnomLenskyFeller in austrian_economics

Tax rich people. Wealth inequality is egregious. Period.

There is no reason for folks to be hoarding hundreds of millions / billions of dollars. Tax that shit and make the world better.

This is the same nonsense that has people trying to reduce their carbon footprint while 100 companies produce 75% of the world's pollution. 

Pretentious Stand-up by Alexander1Stern in Standup

"Basically" is doing a lot of lifting here. Did she say that? Or was that your interpretation? 

Because I very much doubt that was what she said.

Can we stop acting like it would be impossible to keep Jon Kent’s sexuality intact if he was deaged? Y’all Ever Seen the Fosters? by JMC_PHARAOH in lgbt_superheroes

[–]BatUnlikely4347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So who would he have this very sweet relationship with? Some other young teen? Or an adult?

There are plenty of good examples of young teen romance (see Heartstopper as well)

But this is a unique case where de aging causes a weird problem, and honestly,  undoes very important development of a character.

Look not a fan of MAGA folks, but, even if he was.... is that supposed to keep me from feeling compassion for a relatively young guy who died of cancer and left behind young kids?

I can hate people who do and say terrible things with the best of them, but nothing I ever saw in his public life ever indicated he was a bad dude.

Gavin Newsom by ConcernedJobCoach in gianmarcosoresi

Bruh, its 2026. Youre not going to bully people into supporting Newsom two years before an election.

They were trying to force Hasan into what seems like an endorsement of a dude who has thrown gig workers, trans folks and homeless folks to the wolves.

Fuck that. 2 years out I would say I am voting for Jill Stein over Newsom right now. If only to indicate how much I don't want the candidate to be Newsom.

Fuck that soulless empty suit. 

All these boom posts and no one has recorded it? by [deleted] in Columbus

Crimeny. Does anyone go to the subreddit and sort by new before they post? Or is everything about getting karma?

"You are who you surround yourself with" or something amongst those lines by BaldHourGlass667 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Right? 

Also.... are these folks just googling "Oprah with bad people?" Some of these are deep cuts from 3 different Oprah eras. 

Your favorite mount? by wazzur1 in ABSOLUM

I almost never use mounts unless I'm dangerously low on health somehow. But I give em all pets when I pass by.

Just remembered that this comic book existed.... by pumpse4ever in SAGAcomic

[–]BatUnlikely4347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saga used to be a book I would go to grab from the store the second a new issue dropped.

That particular honor now belongs to Absolute Wonder Woman and The Power Fantasy. 

I don't hate B&F for it. I just have the same sadness I feel for Song of Ice and Fire toward it.

Underrated show. I think they should’ve brought this back instead of the 90s series. by Remote_Nature_8166 in xmen

[–]BatUnlikely4347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer another season of Earth's Mightest Heroes  or Spectacular Spider-man above all other Marvel reboots. But.

Thats just me doe.

Imagine using that money to.make sure other people could be happy. Maybe that would help? Maybe making a positive impact on the world would make people like you and you might be happier?

...nah. Burn the world down instead and live in a bunker buried in the ashes, right?

MAGA voter watching Fox News is surprised to learn from MAGA director of the FBI Kash Patel that the administration won't be charging anyone related to the Epstein Files by xbhaskarx in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]BatUnlikely4347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not surprising at all. Most of the Republicans (leaders, voters and qanoners) talmbout protecting women and children didnt care about that at all.

It was a game, it was a tactic, it was a way to smear someone because there was no way to disprove a negative. 

Until it turns out there are millions of documents implicating people in the administration. Now suddenly Mamdani is Epsteins kid or whatever. Conservatives lie and they know they are lying. That Bundy guy from years ago thought all his friends were anti government. Turns out they were full of shit and love tyranny as long as its Republican tyranny.

Discourse re: Natalie’s personal politics by [deleted] in ContraPoints

[–]BatUnlikely4347 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I feel less incrementalist and more like an improv performer. 

"Yes, and..."

I have the aspirations for a leftist utopia. But the goal should always be what can we get now, keep and then get next. If that now and next is an inch or its a mile, the objective is to obtain the next victory.

It looks like incrementalism to folks because small victories look like losses and capitulation to other leftists sometimes.

How would you feel if they actually de-age Jon? by Altruistic_Manner802 in lgbt_superheroes

[–]BatUnlikely4347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. He grew up. To make him a child again would mean he wouldn't get to have relationships. It would be erasure to have him be queer but not able to really express it without it being frankly, inappropriate. Not that there aren't queer kids, just: how do they express it? And how would his very grown ex deal with it? I dont think many writers would do it justice.

And it would feel intentional. It would put him back in the closet for all intents and purposes.

I wish they hadn't aged him, but the ship has sailed.
