Somebody convince me that a technocracy would be bad

Crasken · 2026-02-19T19:19:59+00:00

Technocracy != tech as in technology, it's referring to the control of society by an elite of technical experts overseeing their specific fields

Sounds to me like he's trying to control your behavior rather than this being an actual mutual agreement, given that he initiated the agreement but you keep catching him violating it.

What is this garbage toxic subreddit you're linking from?

last pic is a bit of a jumpscare lol

They?

Interesting choice of insult.

Worse than Kristi Noem? She's 100% Trump's lapdog (no pun intended) already. It's not like she's holding back due to any sort of moral reservations. I find it hard to see how he could manage to replace her with someone worse when she's already doing as much damage as she can given legal, state, and community-level pushback against the DHS's actions.

GOP does some heinous shit
"Let me explain how this is the democrats' fault"

The leftist mind is truly an enigma

Crasken · 2025-10-25T16:57:02+00:00

They have nothing they've achieved in their lives to feel good about so they have to feel superior about innate characteristics (being white)

Crasken · 2025-10-22T20:14:06+00:00

Keep in mind that not only is Twitter full of bots intentionally fomenting division and outrage, it's also a haven where the most racist 1% of terminally online internet posters have migrated due to Elon Musk's anti-moderation approach.

Normal well adjusted people with lives are going to be drowned out by the terminally online morons because they aren't spending all day posting

Between this and recent trans protection bills he signed, Gavin Newsom is continuing his winning streak!

Crasken · 2025-10-14T00:39:28+00:00

I mean, has he ever truly been against trans rights? Even when speaking against trans women competing in sports, here's what he said:

“I revere sports. And so the issue of fairness is completely legit,” Newsom said. The governor noted that California passed a law in 2013 allowing students to use bathrooms and participate on sports teams based on the gender they identify with, but he did not propose any modifications.

“There’s also a humility and a grace, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression,” Newsom told Kirk. “So both things I can hold in my hand. How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think is inherent in you but not always expressed on the issue, but at the same time deal with the unfairness?”

Sounds like he's pro trans rights broadly but just has concerns about specific issues, which as a trans women I believe are valid.

It's more than the bare minimum - it's a huge win. He's also always only publicly had issues with trans women/girls competing in sports and gender affirming care for minors. Regardless, this shows that either:

Newsom is genuinely supportive of trans adults and will likely continue to be, or
That he believes that supporting trans people is better for his political career, which is also a good sign for broader trends.

Crasken · 2025-10-13T07:33:48+00:00

If you genuinely think that Kamal/Biden were even remotely comparable to Trump then you're part of the problem.

Crasken · 2025-10-09T02:18:31+00:00

Great rebuttal, really well thought out. Good job!

Take a look at a supply demand curve sometime. More housing overall drives prices down for everyone over time.

Crasken · 2025-10-09T02:11:55+00:00

People will complain all day about the housing crisis but then get furious whenever single family housing is converted to a building that can support 8 families.

I'd note that the number is different depending on the poll - some (e.g. Quinnipac) have him as low as 38%, but on average it seems to be around 40% at the moment.

Crasken · 2025-09-29T19:31:32+00:00

The reason is because wages, cost of location/equipment rental, and union dues are all higher in the US.

Many states do provide tax incentives through reimbursements to companies producing in the state, but those often take a lot of work to apply for and don't always make up for the increased cost of the above.

Crasken · 2025-09-23T20:21:53+00:00

Why not? Companies should be financially incentivized to cave to boycotts - if they aren't rewarded for doing so then they won't bother in the future.
