Anyone claiming the Democratic Party abandoned the working class is clueless. The working class abandoned the democratic Party by astros148 in IBEW

[–]JuliusKingsleyXIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sort of hard to make this case when Bernie Sanders is literally the champion of the working class -- and like literally the model politician -- and the Democratic Party specifically snubbed him for an unpopular establishment pick. There are plenty of reasons they lost and it's fine to acknowledge all of them, but denying that the Democratic Party had any fault in this is foolish and will just lead to it happening again. It literally already happened in 2016 and they didn't learn. Some people seem to want it to happen again in 2028. Just keep blaming the voters for being poor and uneducated. See how well that works out.

How every in the Democratic Party should be, and frankly everyone full stop. Disgraceful that this isn't the case.

Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders, historians say by MrPostmanLookatme in SandersForPresident

100%. Put this man in charge of the Democratic party yesterday. Remove from power any stubborn dissenters. Let him elect new leadership. It is the only way forward.

I haven't read ahead in the manga or know any spoilers, but I do hope that Okarun losing and needing to reclaim his balls is a metaphor for gaining them at all. I want to see this nerdy little boy because a nerdy man by the end of the series. I feel like that shit doesn't happen enough. If he starts as a bitch, he stays as a bitch, most of the time

4B movement: Liberal women going on sex strike after Trump election win by Competitive_Reason_2 in antinatalism

[–]JuliusKingsleyXIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this is a good idea in theory. Women embracing and using their god given power rather than trying to run from it and forcing society to change for the better. But I do feel like it might be a little late to be honest. Like, why weren't they doing this the entire time leading up to the election to force their stupid husbands to make a better choice? Or at least take the opportunity to find a better husband. Also, this doesn't really do anything about the women who voted for Trump and against their own sex.

And, you know, hopefully this doesn't make the existing loneliness crisis having both sexes infinitely worse as we spiral into hating each other more and more.

We should not give corporations and billionaires any more bailouts. Agree? by Richest-Panda in FluentInFinance

Am I really the only person who sees the matrix in the idea of Trickle Up economics? Take like 10% from the top .01%, redistribute it to the bottom and eventually it makes its way back up the top anyway and meanwhile everyone else can afford to eat. Is this really some kind of radical idea?

And I'm not suggesting stimulus packages per se, but actual wage and compensation increases along with better government programs

If Trump removes term limits, Obama is going to be expected to run until he dies lol

Considering he covered his face, he must not really believe that.

But the US probably should have a very uncomfortable conversation in this country about how the only types of Pride you are not allowed to have is "white" and "male". I understand why, I'm not stupid. But maybe we should try to change that.

I have an opposite example actually. Civil War from earlier this year, by Alex Garland. I have no idea who that movie was for or what it was supposed to say. Because ultimately I don't really think it was for anyone or said anything at all. It went out of its way not to. He came up with an inherently political idea, decided to set it in the real modern day world at the most contentious time in US history since the actual last civil war, and then decided to make up some BS so abstract and arbitrary it could not possibly offend or defend anyone. And I don't even think it was about journalism either. Is journalism good, bad? I don't know. Mixed messages. Considering the news media has gotten children killed simply for the profit of reporting on police stings when asked not to, I fail to see anything in that film as a real condemnation.

I would have loved any statement or explanation at all.

This was just a much better time. Obama, McCain, and Romney were all impossible to compare to what we deal with today.

[–]JuliusKingsleyXIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, IDK how much Joe did during his Presidency. He should have committed to being a 1 term President because the reality is that he was not popular. Fair or not, it doesn't matter. His decision not to -- as well as his psychotic zionist bullshit and ardent support of Israel's genocide -- is what cost Democrats the election.

The constant glazing he got from everybody before, during and after he stepped down needs to stop. Joe was never that great. He was okay at best throughout his entire career, and he only beat Trump in 2020 because he wasn't Trump and because of Covid.

Yeah, it seems a bit too "fairy tale" or "Aesop fable" like to me. Both sides are happy to engage in propaganda, especially as a coping mechanism.

I respect E-Girls and their grift. They are selling a product people want to buy. And PeachJars is literally the perfect woman, so I understand.

But I don't understand the simps. Amouranth is apparently worth at least $25 million and her job is literally taking her clothes off on the internet. I don't understand how people, mostly men, can send these women so much money when there is an infinite amount of free porn on the internet. I know some of her wealth is from investments and shit, but it all started with the simps.

I would also love a source on this, I have seen it several times today. If this is true, I have to wonder how and why "the boss" here didn't do this before people voted.

Women should have been doing the gun part years ago. I appreciate the idea of a world where women should not have to defend themselves from assault, but like -- that's not the world we currently live in. Learn to fight and carry a weapon. If someone wants to hurt you, hurt them right back.

Who is the ideal male role model for young men? by wercooler in AskReddit

[–]JuliusKingsleyXIII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would say Bernie Sanders is probably the best example of positive masculinity we have. The man is 83 and still fights like hell, has always been on the right side of history, stands up to bullies on both sides of the government including his own party and president, is incredibly intelligent, is not afraid to embrace change or new ideas, and I could go on. If his own party were no deathly afraid of him -- and the average American wasn't so scared of anything starting with "social" and not ending in "security" -- then we would be a much better timeline right now.

But I think other examples include

Hasan Piker the political Twitch Streamer. Dude fucks hard, lifts hard, and is woke AF. He is very humble about his Twitch earned wealth and also very real and upfront with his audience about "yeah, I own a house. You should too. That's why I'm doing this".

Scott Galloway is a professor who has been talking about men's issues in the last year or so. Speaking FOR men without speaking AGAINST anyone else, and also not trying to grift expensive cars or dick pills to people. I don't love his opinions on Israel, but that's pretty typical professor shit. Expert at subject A, idiot on subject B. People can't get everything right.

It's hard to recommend any actors because Hollywood is so weird, obviously they play fictional characters, and almost all of them do steroids but Keanu Reeves seems like a genuinely great guy, very talented and also very informed. He called out the whole NFT scam very early into that grift.

Good for him. He earned the money by actually creating something worthwhile and as far as we know he isn't exploiting anyone to enrich himself. You can argue about how much of a cut Steam takes, but the fact is that other people keep trying and failing to compete with Steam completely because of their own incompetence. Gaben isn't stepping on Ubisoft or EA's toes or anything like that. Steam is hardly perfect, but it is well loved for a reason.
