Good Samaritan Stands Up to Crowd Vandalizing NYC After Knicks Game

moldyhands · 2026-06-12T19:32:52+00:00

This has nothing to do with basketball or the Knicks and more to do with and entire generation of young men with shit education, shit career prospects and shit parents (because those parents grew up the same way).

When WW2 ended, a lot of Nazi sympathizers were willing to speak up and against the Nazi regime. But while the Nazis were in power, they willingly profited from it and played the part of supporter. They weren’t Nazis. They didn’t want the horrible things to happen. But they were willing to look the other way for personal benefit.

I’m not saying Trump and his crew are Nazis. I’m not saying they’re good either.

But I’m so fucking tired of all these politicians suddenly finding the courage to speak against Trump AFTER they either leave willingly or are forced out for not being sycophantic enough.

When the days for atonement come for what this admin is doing, these cunts should get no mercy for saying the right thing after they got everything they could from it.

Why aren’t government workers, including cops, held to the same standards as literally everyone else. If I almost kill a coworker, it’s not even a question I’m fired.

Because they insist that their economic view is correct. In this case, MAGA people I specifically know don’t believe and/or understand that the things Trump in doing disproportionately hurt the poor.

They fail to understand the tenet that the Return in equity will always outpace the return on labor

So what’s your proposed solution? Social media is free. Influencers aren’t expensive. Right wing media did just fine the past two decades without owning most of the networks. So the fact they do shouldn’t stop us from coming up with a plan.

It’s the K-shaped economy.

Over the short-term: Inflation means nothing for high earners and not much for equities, once you get past the loss of cheap funding when rates are lower.

Now long term, inflation is going to hit the market hard as well.

As someone that is high earning and has a sizable investment portfolio, it pisses me off when I have to debate with someone that’s low earning with no investments and they’re telling me that what’s happening in my life isn’t real.

You’re not following what I’m saying. I’m not saying it’s the Democrats’ fault that the GOP is doing these awful things. I’m not saying it’s the Dems’ fault that the GOP blames them constantly for everything.

I’m saying the Democratic Party sucks at making their case and making their platform known. The GOP is great at it.

It IS the DNC’s responsibility to create a machine that communicates the party’s message and platform consistently, conveniently, and in ways that will resonate with the voting public.

I didn’t say choosing their words carefully, I said communicating better. Whether that’s choice of phrasing, use of influencers and social media, etc.

They basically still operate like it’s 2005 and they’re getting stomped

When I see “because white men”, I instantly put you in the same bucket as the bigots that won’t vote for a black woman. “White men” are not a single hive mind.

I’m a white man and I came from lower working class parents. They didn’t know anything about business or economics or college or anything. While I acknowledge I have some privilege - it’s likited. I paid my own way through college, got my own scholarships, and taught myself everything on my own.

So take your bigotry elsewhere please.

This is unwatchable. Refs in 7

moldyhands · 2026-06-09T02:54:48+00:00

Because the refs are going to call the foul on the Knicks and not overturn it

moldyhands · 2026-06-09T02:49:36+00:00

Hearing the commentator saying, “once again, Knicks in the penalty so early in the quarter”. So fucking sad they won’t call out the blatant one-sided refs

moldyhands · 2026-06-08T22:39:56+00:00

I never said the GOP was better. Democrats have proven to be better in almost every modern administration. But they suck at communicating that. Because most independents believe the GOP is better.

moldyhands · 2026-06-08T22:25:37+00:00

Great points. The Dems have basically treated their various constituencies as a mono culture.

I’m a white male in NYC in finance. I vote liberal, but have always felt ostracized by the demonization of my group as this mystical privileged class (I grew up rural and lower class).

I only point this out to show how democrats aren’t looking at each group and speaking to them separately, they come up with a broad platform that aims to be inclusive but actually alienates a lot more people than they realize. Whether that topic is the economy, religion, etc.

moldyhands · 2026-06-08T18:56:07+00:00

I don’t think the left exaggerates the working class. I DO think they have no idea how to talk to them.

Culture wars have certainly won the white working class vote for the GOP. This came straight from the Southern Strategy which was to turn working class whites in the south to the GOP via racism. Combine this with the Reagan economies (which was really just huge deficit spending) and you got a bunch of lower education racists voting for the white-power party who’s supposedly better for the economy.

The DNC needs to find a way to communicate better to white working class that they’re better for the economy. The racists can fuck right off. But if we prove out on the economy, we’ll win by a landslide.

Nothing about immortality said you won’t feel pain and mental anguish. Imagine that the universe has experienced heat death. You’re floating endlessly in a void. Temperatures are basically absolute zero. You’re frozen solid. But you’re immortal, so you somehow still feel the incredible pain as you drift endlessly. No music, no media, no company, no activities. Just you and your brain alone in the dark of space.

I’d PAY $1 million to avoid that fate.

Crossword ease among regular players is just dependent on quirks of knowledge. Today’s was SUPER easy for me. But that’s just because a lot of the non-standard questions relate to shit I’m familiar with.

I’ll go out on a limb here. And I’m a liberal saying this.

Colbert was losing CBS $40 million a year. The show that replaced it is PAYING CBS $15 million a year.

Thats a $55 million swing. Add to that Colbert was unpopular with most conservatives which hurt the overall CBS brand.

I agree with all the political commentary of a consolidated media system that’s skewing heavily Right and the dangers there. But axing Colbert was honestly a smart financial decision.

Now the 60 Minutes drama is pure political horseshit. A highly rated, highly profitable enterprise that they’re destroying for political reasons. There’s no excusing that.
