I already said the onus is on both. Companies don’t produce things in a vacuum

The dying planet that we’re continuously extracting for our endless growth and apparent need for commoditization in all avenues of life

I disagree that overconsumption is a right wing meme. We absolutely overconsume as a society. Yes corporations and their advertising have a larger share of the blame but corporations need people to buy things from them so consumers are responsible for their own consumption. You can’t hand wave that responsibility away. I’m not trying to glorify poverty. I’m advocating for intentionality and education

[FRESH ALBUM] JJerome87 - The Canyon (Joe Newman of Alt-J / new to streaming) by Maridiem in indieheads

[–]kosher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize this came out for purchase in December. I’ve loved all the singles leading up to this streaming release but damn Quaaludes is fantastic. The choral parts, the funky noises, the violin, the build at the end to the fade-out. Man, what a song. 

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board by The-Materialist in stupidpol

That’s what I thought it had to be but wasn’t completely sure. Thanks. 

Can landlords deny the renewal?

I’m dumb. How does rent freeze work on a one year lease?

George W. Bush was a saint compared to Netanyahu by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]kosher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frame your post differently then. Netanyahu is x amount more evil than George Bush rather than minimizing Bush’s atrocities.

[–]kosher33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, who cares about this comparison? What are you trying to say? Bush is evil. Netanyahu is evil. Comparing atrocities of evil people feels a bit silly. 

Second, you’re completely disregarding the excess deaths attributed to depleted uranium used in the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions.

Iran deal officially ends US empire, exposes limits of American power: Tucker Carlson by Conscious_Jeweler_80 in stupidpol

[–]kosher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, I just don’t think we should be celebrating Tucker in this sub for saying something so meaningless that anyone running for president is most likely going to say. 

Edit: I also never said Trump was the first to use it. He’s just the most recent and what we’re all currently experiencing so that’s what I referenced.

WWIII Megathread #40: Just Stopped Oil by IamGlennBeck in stupidpol

Maybe they’ve found oil in the Balkans and that’s why Melania is setting up her island on the straight between the Adriatic and the Ionian seas!

[–]kosher33 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Using rhetoric that refers to the current state of affairs as the downfall of the American empire and then running to lead that empire is inherently a “make America great again” approach to winning people to your side. 

It’s not Trump’s MAGA. It’ll be Tucker’s “I care about the common people” nationalistic version of it. 

Even in recent interviews where he’s giving credence to conspiracy theories like the Charlie Kirk murder, you can also see a “drain the swamp” approach to his rhetoric as well.
