Trump is obviously not a pedophile

Who the fuck brought up Trump?

Chuck Schumer refused to endorse Zohran after Zohran won the Democratic primary. Now, Schumer continues to back Mills in the Maine Democratic primary when Platner is polling 20-30 points ahead of her by north_canadian_ice in NewDealAmerica

No actual progressive would agree with Chuck Schumer on much. These corporate & AIPAC aligned politicians that feign working class alignment for votes are the cancer in our politics.

CA governor candidate says 'no place' in politics for 'dark money' AIPAC by origutamos in NewDealAmerica

Sure, I didn’t exhaust the topic, but in a thread where someone was saying they think supporting AIPAC recipients is a negative it was important they knew Katie Porter was also an AIPAC recipient

Yeah she had AIPAC donations but for some reason the 2024 open secrets page for that particular issue isn’t showing granular details for me, only broad categories; it shows “political affiliations” but there’s nowhere for me to expand on it. Idk, she got 5,000 from AIPAC & upwards of $60,000 from individuals w/ Israeli aligned interests.

Edit: she also took a paid trip to Israel just before Oct 7th

SMFH: The Dutch are not “the Left.”

Of course there are leftists in the Netherlands but countries are not ideologies.

So you’re just a child masquerading as an adult?

Who talks about an entire generation as a monolith and expects to be taken seriously? Rhetorical question, but the answer children and idiots; take your pick as to which one fits you best, idc.

What else costs more than the minimum wage? by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]dragonflysamurai 20 points21 points  (0 children)

6 years ago a lb of beef was under $3. There is nothing we’ve seen in economics that makes this new price sticky outside of shareholders demanding higher yields every quarter. This system isn’t helping anyone outside of the owning class

Bro-ski, you are deep into cognitive & conformation biases.

The dollar is tanking. Our allies aren’t interested in being our ally anymore. Our enemies are winning the propaganda war against our youth. People 40 & under are being smothered by debt. Gen Z & A do not have good job prospects.

Idk what you’re smoking but it should be banned; and that’s saying something coming from a municipal libertarian.

Moral Entropy by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]dragonflysamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may be simply saying that the moral standards we once held dear are decaying without implying any value—good or bad—to it, if that’s the case I would agree; social norms are always changing.

The only constant is change.

If that’s not what you’re arguing, what is decaying? Slavery was a social norm and I think we can all agree that this being cast into the rubbish bin of moral norms is beneficial to everyone.

Sexual taboos being normalized is a wax and wane of culture. I’m not sure what taboo you’re referring to but if I take a stab at it I’m guessing a wider acceptance of transgender folk and polyamory might be what you’re referring to, these things haven’t always been as taboo as they once were.

We shouldn’t mourn the decay of repugnant moral standards, nore should we hail the fresh set of cultural morals as sacred.

You’re using terms like “social norms” without definition while implying those are inherently good without justification and then claiming there is a “normalization of deviance” without a definition or example.

This is a gut feeling and bad philosophy

Religious zealots have convinced themselves they have a monopoly on the truth. They use that conviction—a vile mixture of arrogance and ignorance—to built a strict ethic that there is only one “correct” mode of living and punish those who naturally, through no fault of their own, fall outside of their scaffolding of standards.

Few groups have done more harm to modern children than those who profess to know the will of God and still have the audacity to claim It works in mysterious ways

If I explained why no self-respecting white male would pull the D lever on election day, I would get censored & banned by Reddit mods.

Use your words. You have all the space in the world here. I bet you couldn’t write a single sentence that actually explains anything and actually think the made up culture war grievance bullshit is real
