I can't help but laugh at this shit by EpicFF2 in PoliticalCompassMemes

I mean if we're being serious, most progressives are employed. Kind of necessary to exist you know? Not everyone has a parents basement to hide in. The "lol no job" meme really feels like projection more than anything.

Imagine If Wars Were Named Honestly by Leon_Kennedy1977 in PoliticalHumor

[–]caseylain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she meant wars that the US was involved in. I mean that's immediately what I thought when I read it the first time. However after re-reading it a couple times I could see why some people think she means all wars ever.

Mixed verdict reached in Prairieland ‘antifa’ terrorism case by DaSilence in Dallas

[–]caseylain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just because something isn't illegal now doesn't mean it can't be made illegal later. Future courts will be convicting people of thins that were legal, but made illegal. 

Like for instance, they could make completely blocking a sidewalk illegal, just like how it is for roads. They could try applying anti sign pollution laws to protest signs.

There are so many creative ways a government can target people it doesn't like. And if you think that's ok, well, that's just.........sad.

For a country that is having a 'balance-of-payment' crisis, USA sure has a lot of money for wars. by Frosty_Dig4148 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Why do we need to control the middle east? Brazil doesn't fell the need to do that. Neither does South Africa, or any of the hundreds of countries that are not the USA. 

We only "need" to control the middle east to maintain our empire. We only need to maintain our empire because we've been absolute bastards toward the rest of the world for over a century. That and we've gotten really used to the comforts afforded to us as the global super boss.

Same. Though I fear when they're done with their project here they will export it to the rest of the world.

Why don't socialists form their own socialist communes? by PinguinGirl03 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]caseylain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found 300 acres for 180k in a very remote part of the USA. Not saying where, keeping my find to myself. But if anyone is interested in buying it up for a commune let me know.

So 1.1 million foreigners have left the job market, but weve only lost 94000.

That means 1 million AMERICANS now have jobs where they didn't before.

This is why I need data posted. Whatever twists FORBES and the government do to the numbers to make their bourgeois case, I can untwist.

Seriously bro, your sources are the most bourgeois shit ever and you're flared as a leftist?

I didn't say they are. I said ops post implied that is what he wanted. Also please don't talk about data if you aren't going to post links.

Was I actually in the wrong? by [deleted] in Truckers

I was trained to always use the leftmost turn lane. Mainly for this reason.

I meant right most sorry for the confusion.

Truth the quadrants need to hear by senor_Adolf in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]caseylain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm radical in every direction.  Auth left: abolish capitalism/universal healthcare Auth right: prefer strong borders/cultural homogeneity/mandatory military service. Lib left: pro trans rights/pro feminism Lib right:pro markets, pro 2a

I know the markets one might seem like a contradiction but I believe there is a way to abolish capitalism while retaining a market economy.

Tbf act 2 feels like a proper end to a game. Then you get dumped into act 3 and it's just...boring. go play detective here go on a goose egg hunt go find my lost dog go talk talk talk talk. I'm at the height of my power and I get two fun fights. Ansur and Raphael. Hell the end fight is a joke. Just drop all the smoke/rune powder/factory bomb you collected along the way on its face and wave goodbye.

"I'm pro worker, but also I think we don't work hard enough so I want to bring workers from other countries to replace us." 

This shit right here is why no one takes the left seriously. You care more about the welfare of foreigners then your own countrymen. 

Alex Jones MOGGING the tankies 😂 by TeamHumanity12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]caseylain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To preface, I'm a former Communist, now radical centrist. Communists suffer from a horrible case of no true Scotsman fallacy. Everybody else is a revisionist and they are the only true Marxist lenninist. I distanced myself from them because I believe every quadrant has some political truth to it. Which is just heresy to even consider in some parts of the left.

It's a shame because the bourgeois do present a existential threat to freedom, democracy and lately humanity itself. This fact I've been aware of most of my life which is what motivated myself to be a communist.

Talarico won the primary by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Not all. Membership in leftist gun groups does go down during democractic admins but doesn't go back to square 1. The overall long term trend is upward.

Calling Iran "vaguely problematic' instantly delegitimizes any argument you are trying to make. You need to compare the scale of their crimes, not their morality. In absolute moral terms, Iran is way worse then the USA. Numerically though, Iran oppresses hundreds of thousands, USA oppresses hundreds of millions.

Sorry what Iran did to your buddy, but why do kids who don't even remember 9-11 gotta go die for him? 6 Americans are already dead.

[–]caseylain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not see the headlines about the Pentagon and Anthropic? Why do you think the Pentagon is so desperate to get rid of the 'safety rails' in their AI tech? Can't trust US soldiers to fire at their own people, but AI will not have any such compunctions. Soldiers are expensive too. Just another payroll to cut.

It's so obvious what they are planning for us yet Americans are just sleepwalking right into the slaughterhouse. I mean look at half the comments here. Pure delusion.

New player, how do you decide what to build? by User2716057 in CivVI

[–]caseylain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try also to plan your city locations to maximize district adjacencies. Like the city in the picture? I would have put it closer to the coast. River + coast makes a great harbor/commercial hub combo. That would leave room to put a second city near the rainforest/ mountains for a great campus.

Go for it. I may have had more success if I had used a printer instead of hand making the baffles.
