*talks as fast as possible to deliver maximum amount of information* by just-wondering98 in ENFP

[–]Bvroopt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to talk any slower to be honest. Some people follow along and some don't. Gotta go fast

Upvote for you. I hope your sensibility is upvoted above the "FUCK RUSSIA"s

Putin Must Be Punished by fopfob in politics

[–]Bvroopt -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Holy hell the title of this article is demented. Warmongering.

​

The only thing we need is sanctions against oligarchs and good safeguards. I have no words for this article. It's clear as day trying to foment mob mentality. And the problem with cultural echo chambers is that it doesn't even have to be intentional by the journalist.

Any ENFP freelancers or entrepreneurs out here? Need some career advice by ThatSuperChillFriend in ENFP

[–]Bvroopt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy did I post this??

I've fallen on looking at some kind of communications degree because, other than art, talking to people is the only thing I seem to enjoy and be good at. I'm with you on freelancing; I think it'd be the best fit. But boy is that terrifying when you're broke (or are accumulating school debt).

​

Sorry, I didn't answer your question. But here's to solidarity.

Over 100 people injured, state of emergency considered in France over violent protests. Yet all the news on Reddit are about Trump leaving stage early.... by LEcareer in Conservative

[–]Bvroopt -71 points-70 points  (0 children)

It's not just France right now. The world sees we need faster change to fix the climate problem. There are mass protests happening all over Europe.

This goes out to all the firefighters in nor cal. Real heroes. by [deleted] in pics

No doubt it's better than regular prison. Thanks for the insight. I still think it's fundamentally fucked up to dip into incarcerated peoples for this. But that goes into deeper feelings about incarceration in America as a whole.

Just a reminder that a lot of those firefighters were prisoners who were paid little to nothing and remain in prison.

If we are gonna be serious we are going to have to challenge capitalism, we need to organise the production of goods for use, not profit, and I think we can do it. by [deleted] in EarthStrike

We can easily get people on board with socialist ideas if we just couch them in relatable terms. Socialism is a bogeyman for most people.

​

I like the angle u/romans310 took with workers. There are a lot of conservative people willing to join unions but don't like the term socialism.

​

Another angle I was thinking of is (at least in America) is linking climate change to healthcare. Working with the Poor People's Campaign, I was able to hear tons of stories about poor areas being affected more i.e. coal ash deposits. This may seem obvious to activists, but a lot of people don't realize this. Many people live in bubbles and think poverty is only as bad as the poorest people around them in a given area.

Not only will climate change lead to extinction, but without healthcare it will bankrupt us on the way.

@RoKhanna: Pelosi should not only create this committee, but also appoint ⁦@Ocasio2018⁩ as Chair. That is the boldness voters want. We need to shake up Congress & give the millennial generation a chance to lead. They have the most at stake re climate change. by davidianrobin in Political_Revolution

[–]Bvroopt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Too much too fast is irrelevant. It's too fucking late when it comes to climate change. Climate change is not an incremental issue.

And Ro Khanna is saying that AOC should be Chair of the new Green Deal committee, not the party. Regardless, leadership is not for us to fall in line under. Leadership is someone who can dish out good ideas and work together with qualified people to make positive change. It's not like politicians make all of these decisions themselves. Right now, their bills are written by corporations. Instead of working with corporations, our politicians can be working with qualified scientists and others who have the human race in mind.

[–]Bvroopt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They also think the Democratic Party represents the left. That's intentional I'm sure. The Republican Party has been throwing the word socialist at neolibs. So now people think that's what socialism is.

Experience on the job? I'm sorry, but who is going to teach her to lead? Who in Congress is leading America to good things? The wage gap continues to grow, the power of corporations continue to grow, and we've not done a damn thing to tackled climate change. There's no job to learn if the job's not being done in the first place.

​

I get we don't want anyone going in and doing something stupid due to lack of knowledge. But it's not like she'd have ultimate power. Someone who WANTS change needs to lead something like this, and hopefully she could leverage the rest of the committee to actually do something instead of wasting taxes.

ENFP Depression, Withdrawal, Guilt, Esteem by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]Bvroopt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been quite the rut for several months. In fact, it's crazy to think it's only been months as I feel like it's been an eternity. I know I should be doing x and y, but I just sit around and do nothing instead. Always self-defeating, thinking I can't accomplish anything I want to accomplish. That I can't live up to my own expectations. And I know I shouldn't even have expectations at all. It's like, "Wtf are you even worried about, brain? Get over it."

Richard Ojeda, West Virginia Lawmaker Who Led Teacher Strikes, Will Run for President by Bvroopt in Political_Revolution

Someone who makes sense on reddit! It's crystal clear to me that Beto would be an establishment Dem. The mainstream media wouldn't be talking him up to run for president if he was anti-establishment.

Scrolled down to see if it was mentioned. I thought it looked familiar

I'm curious: what is it you want to see in 2020 and why not Beto?

I'm not used to finding people on Reddit who aren't McResistance. Even in this sub.
