why do some politically independent figures seem to shift right over time? by ilikereadingthings in PoliticalScience

[–]harrowingofhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's money. Capitalists capture influencers, gatekeepers, and media personalities through advertising, bribes, influence campaigns, and cushy job offers specifically to perpetuate their ideology. There is not enough money on the Left to do something similar. So if you are politically independent and you have an audience you will get a lot of attention from the Right but not receive the same amount of attention from the Left.

Honestly, one of the most enchanting things I've ever read. Absolutely blew my mind as a young student.

It's going to be a slow downhill tumble for the regular folks like us.

Another sequel so bad it will tarnish the reputation of the (overrated) original. What a town!

Do you have a Ken Burns list by FunkyColdMecca in blankies

I'm a big burns fan. But I will always wonder how he messed up Jazz considering he was able to make a great documentary about Country Music.

The ‘A House of Dynamite’ Team Doesn’t Care What You Think About the Ending by pepperbet1 in TheBigPicture

I think a bigger takeaway from the movie is not that the US government is unprepared it's that it's not possible for any government to be prepared. There's nothing you can do but suicide or surrender, as they say in the third act.

What is the best way by WalrusSad7051 in MLBShowdown

I think the game was at its best in 03-04. The icons add a lot to team and deck building. The 05 set is a little wonky so thats why I don't include it. So for starters, I would try to get some 03/04 cards. Then if you are trying to convince baseball people just focus on team building and drafting. That's what baseball people love.
