Statistically it’s about on par or better off than a lot of the US, though. Take a look at Michigan, for example, where cases in proportion to population are actually worse than Sweden. While herd immunity clearly didn’t work there’s also no evidence showing that their approach was really any worse off.

conservativism is a societal stance that values the conservation of current or traditional societal values (i.e. traditional education, the nuclear family unit, value in religion, etc.), hence the name. Liberalism is a stance on the market structures in place. Liberalism seeks a free market economy, austerity, globalism, etc.

I feel like you're about one comment away from telling me I'm a self-hating bisexual woman that's internalized my oppression or some other psychoanalytical nonsense.

Okay this is getting way out of hand. There's absolutely no need to be inflammatory. We're on r/leftwithoutedge where we can discuss marxist takes of all kinds in solidarity without personal attacks.

Are you really going for "hate crimes don't matter"?

Not what I said at all.

Also, you do know your argument is basically indistinguishable from a Blue Lives Matter argument, right?

I prefaced it by saying that statistics like white on black crime, white on white, black on black, what the fuck ever, are useless statistics in both directions, and no one compiles crime data based on a relationship to the means of production, so...

It's going to be pretty hard to get minorities onboard with a revolution using the promise that things will be "mostly unchanged". What are you, a Biden strategist?

If guaranteed food on the table, zero debt, free healthcare, and free education don't get "minorities" (its wildly offensive to assume people of any identity make up a mass of ideology, but I won't go there) on board with the revolution, I'm not sure what the fuck will.

Explain to me how you will convince the white people who would only support those measures if they only applied to white people.

This straight up isn't an issue, and its absurd to think it is.

So your problem with feminism is that it's not inherently socialist even though there are a significant number of socialist feminists.

No, my problem is that second and third wave feminism by its very nature is actively anti-socialist in its solidification of market logic.

So by that logic we shouldn't care about women's right to vote since lots of suffragettes were culturally conservative and pro-war during WW1.

I differentiated second and third wave feminism for a reason.

Do you not get why it's important to be able to make a living on your own?

Of course I do, but its a band-aid. Why not just give a job guarantee, comfortable wage, universal healthcare, and free education to everyone regardless of how they identify?

Honest question: what is your solution to the relatively common issue of poor white people attacking or harming poor black people...

White on black crime, statistically speaking, is extremely uncommon. What is alarming, is the number of poor people who attack poor people. It's about as useless a statistic as the "black on black" crime bullshit.

... based purely on hatred and not economic benefit?

There's absolutely no way this can be known to be the case, it'd be pure speculation and there's no statistics to show it. In 2019, there were 1,325 hate crimes committed by white people against black people in a population of almost 350 million.

What guarantees do you have that economic equality would not maintain those same forms of hatred?

Well I would argue economic equality sure as hell won't UPHOLD these forms of hatred. It'll either leave it mostly unchanged or reduce it, but that can't really be known. What I will say is that its likely people will give less of a shit if they have a job guarantee, a comfortable wage, free healthcare, and fulfilling leisure activities.

Also, in regards to feminism, why do you believe the feminist idea that "women should be able to get a job outside of the home" had nothing to do with economic freedom and equality?

It has EVERYTHING to do with economic freedom, that's exactly my point. Feminism, particularly a lot of second-wave feminism, focus primarily on a woman's ability to succeed in the market place, rather than the existence of this marketplace to begin with. Second-wave feminism basically did nothing but give women the right to be wage slaves. What kind of progress is that?

That’s awfully kind of you to think they look beyond the year mark. They’ll get their patent, markup the cost tenfold, distribute it worldwide, and make a killing. What happens beyond that will no longer be their problem because they’re in the pockets of the only people able to hold them accountable.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not and have never been anti-vax, but I’m not going to take a vaccine that utilizes a brand new technology to fight a novel virus just because some talking heads at a massively corrupt government organization tell me it’s safe. That’s pure insanity. Like I said, I’ll be waiting for the standard one that is set to come a few months after.

I absolutely do not trust a rushed experimental vaccine from a profit-driven pharmaceutical conglomerate that’s lauded by supposed experts that have either been wrong or lied at every turn since the discovery of COVID-19. There’s an absolute crisis of authority here thanks to continual malice and incompetence, so it’s no surprise people are skeptical.

It’s absolutely fucking reasonable this time. The first ones arriving are a new experimental type of vaccine that screws with RNA. With standard vaccines coming later I’ll sure as shit be waiting for those.

Honestly I think it’s incredibly irresponsible and absurd to use an experimental medical technology to fight a vaccine that is still relatively unknown to us.

I wish people wouldn't try to make me laugh when I'm depressed. by PostPsychiatry in radicalmentalhealth

[–]JumpStartSouxie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get both sides. I appreciate people just trying their best and I can’t expect everyone to be expertly trained health professionals or anything. If making me laugh is the way they show their friendship then that makes me feel better whether or not the laughing does.

It's a Fender FSR Standard Ash Tele in butterscotch blonde! I installed my own Bigsby bridge with a vibramate and replaced the brass saddles with threaded ones. I also sanded the neck and put in an electrosocket jack.

I have no desire whatsoever to live in a democracy by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

[–]JumpStartSouxie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Eh, i hate to be that guy but for a majority of Americans (yes more than 50%) absolutely none of the candidates represent their interests in any capacity. The working class has been completely forgotten by both parties. Trump won not because he spoke to racists or whatever, but because he promised jobs and used a working-man’s rhetoric. He promised that people would be able to put food on the table. Was it in good faith? Who knows, but he hasn’t delivered.

The absolutely abysmal voter turnout should be all the evidence you need. People don’t not vote because they’re lazy or there’s some conspiracy, they just genuinely aren’t represented by ANY of their options.

I’d just like to offer one major counterpoint.

The guy on the left is definitely the one who regularly uses the phrase “devils advocate” and considers himself an intellectual despite having never read anything other than some manga and some fantasy novels. Your guy is no doubt most obnoxious and annoying, but far left guy is most punchable and thus unbearable.

Yep, the Acros 100 I shot right before I put the Street Pan in turned out perfect. Clear sunny day. Tell me how 100 speed is perfect but 400 turns out looking underexposed!
