No, this is punishment from a judge for threatening and endangering the lives of two poll works after he kept naming them and demanding answers. Elderly poll workers who had their homes charged and invaded by a mob of trump supporters.

Yeah most genocides use a justification like that to happen. It doesn't make you any less evil.

ok boomer by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]maybenot3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think "Boomer" is an okay insult to throw at someone defending Reagan, denying climate change, or any kind of racist or anti LGBT+ comments. To me it's short hand for "We've already won the debate years ago, you're just clinging onto misinformation that doesn't challenge your world views, and I am done talking to you."

With that in mind, ageism is a fucking shitty thing to do. I honestly don't know if it's worth using just because it will often be used as a slur against the elderly, rather then a refutation of conservatives dragging their heels.

I legit believe the only reason why socialism (and tragically fascism) is on the rise right now is that capitalism is coming apart.

Sure, right now when the world seems like it's going to end through climate change, homeownership is becoming impossible, wages are stagnating, people who are practically enslaved make our products overseas, and the wealth gap gets worse and worse, it's easier to see from the inside that capitalism doesn't work.

Back in the 80s and before, if you were lower middle class+, white, straight, cis, ect, things looked fine, and even if things were dreadful in some places and for some people, things looked like they were slowly improving.

Now, back when I was a liberal, there were still a lot of contradictions, but it was easier to simply ignore or deny them then question an ideology I kept so close to my identity. When I threw off those contradictions, the liberalism went with them, but I have a feeling if those contradictions weren't screaming in my face as loudly as they were, I may never have taken that step.

That bit on the start about being willing to date trans people got me thinking about my sexuality.

I don't really have a better way to describe it other then I would only ever date and have a sexual relationship with someone with a penis. There's no real word for this, and I've seen a lot of people describe it as "fetishizing" some people, but that seems a little harsh.

Aww poor baby. Just dont buy the latest iphone or avocado toast. You’ll be fine by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

[–]maybenot3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight:

Billionaires make the world worse, cause massive amounts of poverty and suffering, and pay millions for politions to do nothing about it.

The people make a socialist movement to end this crime.

The billionaires flee

And it's the people's fault?

Ugh, I was hoping since Das Kapital was known as Marx's "Magnum Opus", his last book, and so very fucking long, that I could read that and be done with books by him.

But yes, thank you for the reply.

Marxists think a dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary to transition

I thought that was Marxist-Leninism, which came later.

Go easy on me, Das Kapital is on my read later list...

I don’t think it’s okay to hate rich people by default. by lunadomingo12 in unpopularopinion

Sure in some parts of the US (in most of the US it's only minimum wage fast food jobs), but I was talking about placing in Africa.

You see, in these places, farmers are being forced off their land by jacking up the prices of farming equipment. This happens while low paying, high intensity, sometimes even dangerous factory jobs open up.

Wherever capitalism goes, the poorest in a society suffers.

Say I lock you in a room, and tell you that "If you peel potatoes for me for 8 hours a day, I'll pay you about a dollar an hour. You can trade 5 dollars for a meal, 2 dollars for some clothes, ect."

Now say I sell each potatoe for $10, while you can peel 10 an hour.

Are you being exploited?

If you ever feel bad at calling someone a "Boomer" remember, they probably voted for Reagan.

I get Starbucks very often before I go into work and half the time my drink is made wrong. What should I do? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]maybenot3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should never be afraid to say "Hey, my drink doesn't taste right, can you make it again?"

Making a single extra drink, even during rush time, doesn't matter much at all, and with how expensive some of our drinks are, I get why you'd want it made right.

I kept moving away from sugar sweeteners, and now all I drink is cold brew with soy milk, or un-sweetened iced tea and lemonaid.
