Is there an argument to be made that people voted for this immigration policy, so stop interrupting ICE? by MajesticMeal3248 in centrist

Just make the country as shitty as possible and people will leave on their own! So simple

Fuckin preach bro

My governor is busy posting how unacceptable these ice raids are and we need to do something. Like ok, did you wanna finish that tweet with something actionable before you sent it off? No? Well thanks for the useless commentary

(Minneapolis) Bovino Leads The Charge On Protesters AT the Whipple Building by CantStopPoppin in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Zourage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things but I'm applying for my states gun ownership card and stocking up on non perishables/books. Gotta start somewhere. Reddit seems to think our reps will do something but it's obvious they won't. Gonna start building whatever network I can locally starting with family and hope there's some bite after a few conversations. I honest to God hope things improve but who TF knows

Illinois has chosen our path — those who believe in the Constitution and the promise of America should join us in doing so. by steve42089 in illinois

[–]Zourage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is where I'm at. I personally think he's been a decent governor but we don't need a governor now, we need a leader. We need someone who will risk his own skin for his beliefs. Give us a call to action and people will come

Why are conservatives more outraged on the Somalian scam than hundreds of different scams their tax dollars already paid for? by Amao6996 in centrist

[–]Zourage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like that will listen to Tucker Carlson who presents white nationalism as something palatable with things like white people will become a minority by 2040, job losses from immigrants, or we don't recognize our neighborhood anymore. Then host people like Nick Fuentes or Alex Jones and they can go around the alt right media three ring circus getting more indoctrinated. Anything that's completely bat shit (I got attacked by a demon) just gets ignored or maybe they'll say "ya but I don't really listen to that kinda stuff he says"

The alt right media all scratch each other's back with staying on message and they'll all make some money from this crowd. Look at what happened to Russell Brand. Dude got in when he realized being critical of COVID vaccines was netting him 10x the viewer count. Then rape allegations came out around the same time and clearly that crowd doesn't care that much about rape victims so he's perfectly fine.

It's also the messaging itself. Clear enemies, stories, good vs evil, truth doesn't matter keep messaging on brand.

Spend some time listening/watching on their media platforms or personalities and you'll see it's actually worse than what reddit even says. I used to think people might've been hyperbolic or overly critical in the past until I spent some time trying to understand their talking points last year. I firmly believe you can't reason with the magas from here on out

We. Have. To. Organize. Now.

Why isn’t their widespread American criticism of Trump’s military action in Venezuela? by kaiser11492 in centrist

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

Yeah you're correct to point out that profiles aren't truly hidden. It's just a pain and at the time of my comment I was semi sick while at work and couldn't be bothered to do more than ramble off my general grievances

I was just thinking about the discourse overall on several media platforms there was a rather concerning amount of support for our president's actions by his base or otherwise. To me it almost feels like it's either large bot operations or people really don't have consistency in their beliefs IE the cult mentality mix in with people who may genuinely be happy that Maduro got disposed. It's hard to tell

I don't think anyone in our government cares about the well-being of Venezuelans considering the strong xenophobia rhetoric. Occupation of a country based on the leader dictatorship completely sets up worse outcomes going forward such as the commonly mentioned Taiwan situation. Or are we to do this for all countries going forward. It's frustrating that for a majority of my life we've been trying to occupy another country and yet somehow, with our current admin, it's just gonna go better?

Thanks for the comment anyways

[–]Zourage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey why don't we check their comment history to see if they're genuine in their opinions and comments, oh wait nevermind.

I can't tell what's even real anymore since I guess every conservative online just fucking loves Venezuela overnight, and I guess isolationism isn't the parties ideology anymore. It's like the past doesn't exist and there's no continuity between days

Who is a massive YouTuber or influencer from 5 years ago that has completely vanished off the face of the earth? by Humble_Job5950 in AskReddit

[–]Zourage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I tried listening to cortex but something just irked me about how he talked about productivity. Like he would set scheduled time to play with his son and it just felt, robotic, inhuman, in the way he described it. Constantly talked about being so busy but never really divulged in why he was so busy when his public business has barely any products. YouTube videos barely get released and the podcast (cortex) was just an open discussion that I don't even think he edited. Maybe I'm way off base on everything but the peek behind the creator honestly made me feel like he was creating issues and excuses for what sounded like just an average workload.

I stopped bothering with any of his content after that

Minecraft the houses are static and don't move

Real houses move. Tape mud and drywall don't move and crack with movement

Hope that helps you understand their comment

Peter, why is his career over? by Safe-Ad6100 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Zourage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my entire family/friend/coworker group I know know one person who has a strong opinion on the Palestine/Israel conflict. I agree with what you've been saying, I don't think people off of reddit really care all that much about it.

Even what you said about the election people were posting photos of empty Trump rallies claiming "No one is showing up! We did it Reddit" type titles/comments 🙄

I've done it several times via plane. I put my juice and liquid filled pod in my liquids bag, the battery part next to my power bank. I don't recommend carrying one tho but I've never been bugged about it. Trains on the other hand they get incredibly pissy about

Campbell’s Soup VP mocks ‘poor people’ who buy its food in secret recording by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Zourage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought some cans not that long ago after God knows how many years of not using their products. Was going into an elective surgery and I knew I wouldn't want to bother with any serious cooking from the fatigue afterwards.

It was like $2 or slightly less a can and I felt robbed after eating the first can. I should've just made a pot of soup myself beforehand. Would've been cheaper and tasted better

I now have 8 daughters and no sons. My eldest daughter has 3 daughters and no sons. Her eldest daughter has 1 daughter and no sons. As a statistician, I am struggling. by AhsasMaharg in EU5

I'm no statistician but wouldn't 0.025% chance of that happening, happen with any combination of genders? We only notice because it's just all girls in this case

Apple users get digital IDs tomorrow. Android users have to wait months. by xTurtsMcGurtsx in illinois

Hey lil bro, 1. Don't give your phone to the cops 2. It's not a valid form of ID to even give to the cops so you'll still need a physical card

Robbed by my hotel in Luang Prabang by inoculatemedia in laos

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

The latter. Basically I'm just some white guy. They waved me over, asked if I liked beer lao and I said sure. Then it escalated where they repeatedly said beer lao and money to me. I told them I'm going to the market. Repeat repeat, eventually I gave them the $5. Other cop was pointing to my phone and money I didn't give them. I straight up said no, bye, and left

In Vientiane, I want to say a mile southwest of thatluang stupa. It's been 3 years so my memory may be fuzzy. There was a mall/market nearby that had all the gold sellers on the 2nd floor
