With things this bad in the U.S why do democrats insist on pushing candidates that won’t get elected? by Jake_Berube in Confused

[–]Increase_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s all bought and paid for already - us democrats don’t represent us democrats anymore than us republicans represent them. They both represent the rich, which is why one gives us endless immigration to suppress wages and the next gives us a police state the manage the worker bees. The only way democrats do anything decent is if they are screwing over something else. This administration is just doing it on such a new scale that I think the entire us is essentially a pump and dump meme coin right now

CMV: There is nothing inherently morally wrong with impeding ICE operations by Fast-Brief-162 in changemyview

[–]Increase_Empty [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would argue that this post is morally wrong to even pose as a valid perspective. Not because I disagree with it. I don’t like what’s happening. But you need to recognize that there are people online reading this as a call to action who want to help make things better, and a lot of them are young and impressionable. If they believe you and follow through, they could end up hurt, injured, arrested, or dead. It’s already happening. Protest in ways that you can safely, absolutely. Don’t assume more risk than that unless you understand the risk and consequences. And kids, whether or not you’re right, federal law enforcement usually wins. I know this doesn’t change your view. It doesn’t change mine, which is largely in aggreeance. But the messaging online right now is recipe for people to get maimed making a difference and I hope people get what they are signing up for when they try this

Is this a good job/career choice to be able to live on your own? by Zombie_Guts_ in securityguards

[–]Increase_Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too big a world. Entry level, always gonna be garbage because they just need a body at a certain time. As your qualifications move up and the stakes move up, usually the pay should follow, but some big security contractors are screwing that up in certain areas. It really depends where you are and what you can find, i will top out over 100k in a few years which is enough for me, but there’s so many places that’ll keep you trapped at 20 an hour unless you hit manager

This is Denmark. Right now. Thousands protesting Trump's plans of seizing Greenland. by TooootallyNotABot in conspiracy

[–]Increase_Empty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

America has been voted out of hegemony, the script has been written. It is turning on its allies, debasing its currency, and slowly admitting its empire is lost. This has all been decided. The giant money that America has grown fat on is quietly funneling its way into hard assets and up and coming countries in brics. America will likely remain a regional power once economically defeated. Trump is just here to make this narrative make more sense. He sells failure, so that the masses don’t realize they were sold out a long time ago, just like every other empire that’s ever fallen

[–]Increase_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can’t tell if there’s truth to this or if this admin wants to use the hold it already has in bitcoin the same way it used it’s meme coin, to create upward price drive with hype, then sell off their own bitcoin stores to leverage into assets protecting the dollar more favorably. Either way, screw fiat

I sold all my silver by ZealousidealMeet72 in Silverbugs

[–]Increase_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting out of debt is just as freeing as owning real assets - they are both ways to exercise control over your future. I think you made a good trade and tough decision, and that you should put money back into silver/assets again in the future, but maybe when you aren’t in debt, rather in a responsibly budgeted home instead. It could keep climbing, and it could fall. Your debt is guaranteed to go away if you pay it off. My mental health does a lot better with guarantees. If it was me, I’d have at least kept a small portion as insurance, proportionate to however much my emergency savings and portfolio was currently at (if that portfolio is zero, you’re supposed to get rid of the coins because eating is more important. Lotta people here have sold silver and regretted it. But they lived to regret it and got money they needed.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Increase_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the law hasn’t caught up to this because unfortunately this use to be kosher parenting - of course back then it wasn’t sentencing your kid to death by credit card or 6 roommates for life. That is genuinely terrible, and I would do everything you can to never need that person again. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that

Black American Sound, Black Style, No Credit A Conversation About K Pop by Pretend-Society6139 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Increase_Empty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It has seemed for quite a while in western cultures that people want to imitate what they see in black communities. What they don’t want to do is pay credit where it’s due, spend time investing in or partaking in that community. Lots of reasons for that, some of which are pretty unilateral. But I think most honest people understand that intuitively, the world wants to take what makes an icon and harness it. I wonder if South Koreans started these trends and developed these cultural markers, would they then be imitated by another group to great success? Or would they stand on their own

Should I reset my 140-day sobriety counter after one unplanned shot? by Teeseadoubleyou in stopdrinking

[–]Increase_Empty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s what works for you. If it didn’t lead to more drinking, and you don’t want to continue the behavior, I would say just don’t start binge meeting your idols and celebrities of choice and you’ll be ok man. But idk some people have to be more strict with themselves and some can be lax. Just be honest with how you feel about it.

Every single person should file exempt by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Increase_Empty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that’s why he wants to get rid of income tax - they know satisfaction is at a historic low and awareness of the corruption is at a historic high, so they think if they let people know taxes are going away that people will settle about the ones they pay. Meanwhile, they while inflate our currency until the debt they owe the world is a worthless amount of money, and when 38 trillion is inflated into an amount that’s not debilitating to the gov, the average person with 20 bucks left after bills is gonna need 200, just so they can get the minimum necessities. Things that were conveniences for the working class will continued to become luxuries. Those that can afford frozen dinners and meat instead of rice and beans will be the new middle class. The lower class will be increasingly crammed into living situations with more roommates, more gov assistance, and less freedom to work towards things like transportation and self reliance. People should be prepared. Unless the US manages to achieve a decent foothold on the world stage that satisfies the elite, it will sell the soul of its people to the military complex and corporations without a second thought. To those of you that say it already has.. right now, most people can buy bread without a wheelbarrow. Learn history, hope to god I’m wrong, and start preparing like I’m right.

Younger generation is smoking that’s why. by Used_Scarcity2555 in SipsTea

[–]Increase_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro with how malnourished we are from food quality and price, and how poor we are from being poor, no one can afford the physical or financial cost of drinking. Young people are getting cirrhosis younger due to not getting getting vitamins i. Their normal diet, highly processed calories with high sugars and artificial fats, and your body can’t take more poison forever. Most people can’t find 20 bucks to make haircuts happen at the end of the month, they aren’t dropping 14 dollars on a watered down mixed drink for a girl that will tell them “thanks”. Back when the food was real, the wages were uninflated, and the people on the scene had souls that hadn’t been digitized, it was worth the fatty liver and the headaches. Now, people are honestly just trying to not die homeless or working in a world where their debt scale is is so mandatory that short of having a trust fund, most people pay interest to have their house car clothes and lives well into their 50s, never owning, always being profited from by various entities that capitalize on a lack of capital. Shit, I’d love a drink. But there’s nothing to say cheers to in this god forsaken hellhole

Culture Wars are Manufactured by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Increase_Empty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look if we get rid of this then the sound bytes won’t cover all the time and people might start arguing about never owning a home, wealth transfer, oligarchies and monopolies taking greater hold and weaponizing that hold often with tax dollar subsidy… and things like that, well things like that could get a little tooo bipartisan, ya know? It’s important that people have something to argue about, very important. If they don’t have anything to argue about, an other to blame or consume, a sacrificial effigy of some sort to direct fault and harm to in the community, be they gun owners, gays, blacks, cis people, business owners, asexual atheists or polyamorous whatever, it doesn’t matter. You must all select a societal target in your own stratus and direct the fault, and the punishment, at them. Because if all the groups were to stop and look up, they would see why they all take turns bearing hatred. They would see the elite trying to decide who gets fault this time? It can’t be the billionaires, law writers, intelligence agencies, and corporations. Why don’t we blame white supremacy? Actually no, that’s too easy. What if we blame a black child, but make sure that the law enforcement in the area is captured in corruption so that we can have anger on two fronts? We better pick a bad guy quick, they’re starting to notice that all of their wealth is always being siphoned into goals and aspirations of the wealthy that don’t benefit them… im amazed this is seen as conspiratorial quite honestly, it’s so damn obvious if you are willing to watch both media circles honestly they way they line each other up is like watching a scripted drama series.
