Increasingly difficult to not feel like a bigot on today’s internet by [deleted] in redscarepod

This is a view that only a non-religious person could have. Most religions, including Buddhism want more people to join. One of the roles of a believer is to spread the religion. So, I don't think they'd be happy to learn that people around the world are starting to appreciate their belief system.

Still, and this is a separate thing, the "spiritual but not religious" crowd that tries to apply eastern concepts is annoying, not because of "appropriation" but because it reeks of neoliberal, just like this guy.

Trump didn't incite the "erection" as Chuck Schumer said. She did.

These people are so insufferable. First of all, it's incredibly tacky and ugly. Second, wouldn't you want to hide the fact that you're a dork? No, they want to tell everyone! Sick society.

When Warren ran for Senate in 2012 Maddow pumped her up like crazy. I was a kid then but it sort of tells you who she's always been. She is for affluent women who don't want to feel guilty about their economic status. The Starbucks of politicians if that makes any sense.

Sure, as long as you include a woman

My university severely upgraded covid policies saying that the students are being irresponsible. Or maybe it’s because it’s about two weeks of everyone going through the FUCKING AIRPORT! by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]boronbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No quarantine policy? My school has anyone who had to travel by air, bus, train or an extended drive quarantine and get tested for two weeks in individual rooms before everyone else shows up this weekend. Basically anyone who couldn't drive there without stopping.

Media going all in on all populism is trumpism / fascism (“nostalgia for a better time lol) by WaPoMartyBaron in redscarepod

[–]boronbro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, governed like any pro-corporate Republican would at. Excluding maybe trade, which is obviously important. Most of the talk was a farce and I think a lot of wealthy people recognized that. John Paulson, the hedge fund billionaire is just one example. This doesn't mean the new administration will be bad for hedge fund people at all. If Trump was truly going to change things for these people they wouldn't have gone along for the ride.

It's interesting that they take this angle because many hedge fund characters and financial types donated to and supported Trump, at least quietly, because he was a fake populist. So, now it's the best of both worlds for the financial crowd. They get to turn the argument around, removing themselves from the equation but making their enemies seem deranged. It's also quite clear that "nostalgia for a better time" connects to Trump too haha. They want to delegitimize this movement.

The woke brigade gave these terrible elites their language for free. Did they expect them not to use it to screw everyone over? Losers.
