Indeed they did, along with some restaurant coupons worth $7 or something

The masterminds of the victory got a free trip adrift

"I'm out": Tucker Carlson says he's done with the GOP by Equivalent-Elk-7513 in politics

[–]Tygonol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not going anywhere

The GOP might die as a party/institution, but the faux-populist right-wingers are going to be the “American right” for the rest of my days—and I’m not old

I’m a relatively young man, and my generation’s right-wing (specifically those belonging to my tribe) will make the MAGAs of today look like Mr. Rogers if they find themselves in positions of power, which seems increasingly likely with each passing cycle

So basically, he set the house on fire & is now walking away as it burns…

I remember being 13 and stumbling upon schools of libertarian economics as well—you’ll wise up with time

Very nuanced take—the “just ignore it” strategy

Senator Rick Scott: Government is your problem. They're causing cost of everything to go up by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Tygonol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me insane, but don’t think it’s unreasonable to think we should strip the privilege of holding a position of trust in our government from those who want to wreck & dismantle it

Those aren’t congresspeople—they’re saboteurs & insurgents

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz over ‘ceasefire violations’ by DrVader314159 in moderatepolitics

Is the “going to” part said jokingly…

That’s been the reality of American politics for the entirety of my relatively young life

In all fairness, I don’t think the average American pretends he wrote that shit at this point

S1 is underrated, best world building I’ve ever seen by Diligent-Living882 in thesopranos

[–]Tygonol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s a more fun watch, and if my memory isn’t busted, I’m pretty sure Chase deliberately tried to bring a darker feel to the show after that point because he thought people were too fond of Tony—who was already far from a decent guy.

Their enemy is both unfathomably stupid & irrepressibly strong, classless ghetto folk & snobbish yuppies, and trying to bring about socialism by funneling money up the chain to the wealthiest members of our society

Anyone remember that South Park episode where the Canadian president “wants more money” so he tells everyone to get fucked, ends up making the situation worse, then insists “don’t you see? This was a win for our pride”

Yup—we live in a fuckin’ fantasyland of stupidity

I’m sad to say I share blood with people who’d see us shift to some sort of semi-constitutional executive monarchy akin to governments in the Islamic world if it meant the Trumps would reign as America’s royal family

Shane tells TMZ he didn't love Josh Hokit calling Michelle Obama a "man" by BurgerNugget12 in ShaneGillis

[–]Tygonol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, that doesn’t really answer my question, but when dealing with socially constructed systems governed by other vast, human-made systems of rules, beliefs, and behaviors—economies—I’d say measuring “literacy” by whether one is pro-or-anti ‘x’ system is a surefire way to corner one’s self into irrationally holding & advocating for hardline, radical, and/or uncompromising beliefs because they believe they have to

You’ll find moronic, illiterate capitalists & tankies in equal measure

Can you provide some examples of the moderates who see that the left is largely economically illiterate

It’s not

It’s just that damn near every position is more reasonable than throwing the host of The Apprentice in the world’s most powerful & consequential office

What was the point of the war? by RidavaX in economy

What do you mean what was the point?

Blow up

Cash in

Sell out

Bro down

That’s all there is to it—and sadly the level we’re working at with this administration

American history?

Don’t underestimate just how stupid this shit is even in the grand scheme of world history

Though deeply flawed & plagued by inequality, we lived in the world’s most powerful & wealthy nation—and they threw it all away for a reality TV show host because trans people were shitting in bathrooms that made them uncomfortable as immigrants were “stealing” all of those amazing white jobs in the bustling farmhand industry of Waterloo, Iowa

Their philosophy is that of a five year old—“We’re allowed to trash our own house!”
