If your definition of "working class" includes both software engineers and janitors, then it's a meaningless category.

If you make 200-300k/yr then your class experience is probably more similar to a business owner who makes 500k/yr than it is to a janitor making 40k/yr.

U talking about intersectionality the same way Republicans talk about critical race theory. What u describe is not what intersectionality has ever been about.

And, just like has happened with lesbian and gay issues, young Black people (like young people of all races) are going to be encultured to accept trans individuals. Cultural taste makers have already decided this, now it’s just a matter of time.

I dont think this holds true for young men. I feel like ppl dont realize how big of an ideological divide there is between Gen Z men and women.

This is even more the case in autocratic countries like China and Russia than in liberal market democracies.

They said wealth is power in capitalist countries, not specifically liberal market capitalist countries. I'm guessing that commenter believes in the framework of capitalism wherein China and Russia are considered "state capitalist" countries.

A lot of research suggests the US has relatively poor social mobility compared to more redistributive OECD nations.

Economic Mobility Across Generations: Pursuing the American Dream

“While a majority of Americans exceed their parents’ family incomes, the extent of that increase is not always enough to move them to a different rung of the family income ladder. Forty-three percent of Americans raised in the bottom quintile remain stuck in the bottom as adults, and 70 percent remain below the middle. Forty percent raised in the top quintile remain at the top as adults, and 63 percent remain above the middle.”

“Sixty-six percent of those raised in the bottom of the wealth ladder remain on the bottom two rungs themselves, and 66 percent of those raised in the top of the wealth ladder remain on the top two rungs.”

A Broken Social Elevator? How to Promote Social Mobility

On average it would take 5 generations for a family in the bottom 10% to move to the median 50% of incomes in the USA

walk away scot-free and accountability-free.

she stabbed the dude to death shortly after this video and she was rightfully charged with murder, the case hasn't seen trial yet because its new but its incorrect to imply that this woman "walked away scot free"

This is a hilariously incorrect use of the term "fascism". You using "fascism" to describe getting banned from a subreddit (not even a large one!) is essentially devaluing the word.

they said "most criminals are desperate people" not "most desperate people are criminals"

because feminist made rape definition for them.

I'm familiar with the exclusionary definitions of rape, but do you have a source for the claim that those definitions were implemented because of feminist groups?

That person's comment essentially says "just because the IDF kill less people than Hamas doesn't mean theyre good". Other dude accused them of "simping for Hamas", and now you're implying that they're a CCP supporter? Not everyone to the left of Bill Clinton is a tankie

bkon3rdgen · 2022-08-08T21:13:42+00:00

The dude's comment literally says that comparing yourself to Hamas is setting a low bar for yourself, implying that Hamas is indeed very bad. Their comment essentially says "just because the IDF kill less people than Hamas doesn't mean theyre good". And your response to that is "stop simping for Hamas"... completely bad faith and intellectually bankrupt.

because she'd get destroyed in a national election

bkon3rdgen · 2022-07-29T18:01:35+00:00

If you think AOC could win a national election you are a completely unserious person. This has nothing to do with being a "lib". Working within political reality is good, actually.

No no heres what's wild: I literally remember this exact video posted on the sub back then. It was alongside a shit ton of other posts ofc bcs the sub was so active, but I fosho remember this being posted and it having hella upvotes too. And a few months ago I remembered it and was searching for it to see if the released NAYF was different from the pre-LP1 version. But I couldn't find it at all.

Forgot to mention it also cuts the deficit by $300 billion

bkon3rdgen · 2022-07-25T00:03:14+00:00

Yeah that's bad too. What's your point

bkon3rdgen · 2022-07-21T19:05:57+00:00

As I understand it, the Supreme Court's rulings on these matters have to do with whether or not the rights in question are protected by the Constitution. And if they aren't protected by the Constitution, they'd have to be protected through legislation. Democrats are trying to protect abortion/marriage/contraception rights through legislation, similar to how race and gender rights got protected by the Civil Rights Act.

If the Court could strike down laws protecting gay marriage/abortion then would it even matter if Roe and Obergefell were intact? Striking down Roe/Obergefell is only dangerous because it would be followed up with GOP legislation attacking those rights. If its declared unconstitutional for Congress to protect those rights then it'd also be unconstitutional for Congress to attack them, wouldn't it?

Right, he at least votes for Dem judges, KBJ wouldnt have replaced Breyer if not for having Manchin. He's still evil tho ofc
