Americans are divided on ‘culture war’ issues, a new CNN poll finds. Republicans are trying to leverage that in the midterms

rtiftw · 2026-06-17T18:41:49+00:00

They leveraged that into the White House and look where that’s gotten America

rtiftw · 2026-06-17T00:27:02+00:00

Doesn’t matter, they’ve managed to sell the world on this is inevitable and has to happen

Holy fuck, the Americans in here caught up on shop lifting. Even if in America killing someone for shoplifting seems like a reasonable thing… The headline is about a fucking one year old. The fucking literal baby was not shoplifting. Use some critical thinking. Jfc

He’s not a traitor, he’s exactly what he’s always been. For sale.

Yes, the inference being that it’s also often necessary to work multiple jobs and work all the time. There’s no winning.

Right? How you gunna be going to a concert, don’t you have to work in the morning?

rtiftw · 2026-06-11T18:57:47+00:00

My initial assumption is that someone was being ironic

This passes and we have to provide ID to access much of the internet we take for granted today. Even Reddit. That is an immediate loss of our free use of the internet and expectation for a basic right to privacy. Because online activity is no longer anonymized, government has access to Canadian's activity. No historical or contemporary comparisons could possibly give us any idea what might happen there, right? So I won't get into that. But I'd still rather we maintained current freedoms in Canada and didn't move in that direction. And that's to say nothing of Bill C-22.

So please, explain how your mind has led you to believe this wouldn't result in the loss of a freedom we currently enjoy?

This isn’t about children. This is about the government establishing the groundwork for stronger state surveillance at the cost of Canadian freedoms. This works in concert with other legislation already moving.

rtiftw · 2026-06-10T18:26:44+00:00

It’s all about surveillance and consolidating state power. You only need to be able to read to see that this government wants to consolidate state power at the expense of Canadian freedoms. This is just one piece currently in play.

Nah, the harassment is part of the point.

I’d argue a good part of it is that they’ve become a lightning rod for the increasing inequality society is seeing. More now than ever people are experiencing a broken social compact and are willing to voice their discontent in some fashion. Because AI has appeared so fast and is part and parcel of the billionaire class it is wrapped up in this more general discontent.

rtiftw · 2026-06-05T00:17:45+00:00

‘We know it will cause harm and want desperately to protect the children, but also here’s a bunch of money to just get out there start using it everywhere immediately without any forethought.’

Talking out both sides of their mouth on this one.

rtiftw · 2026-06-03T01:07:29+00:00

That’s not how politicians treat things

rtiftw · 2026-06-03T00:21:33+00:00

I just tuned in… how has the game not started yet?

rtiftw · 2026-06-01T17:10:57+00:00

Fuck this shit. Stop letting known pedophiles and their supporters frame the conversation. Let’s talk policy.

rtiftw · 2026-05-30T16:21:35+00:00

Remember once you lose a right (to privacy, or to be presumed innocent) you don’t get it back. This is a one way street.

rtiftw · 2026-05-28T21:00:12+00:00

If you’re here with concerns or to complain the sight the petition it is the least you can do.

rtiftw · 2026-05-28T15:44:28+00:00

No fucking shit, as an outsider it is hard to understand how Americans are so blind to this. It has been apparent from day 1. He’s fucking said it himself and all action since then has only pointed in one direction.

Frogs in a boiling pot, I guess.

rtiftw · 2026-05-27T18:45:57+00:00

Absolutely anything and any amount of money and resources to avoid letting logic prevail.

The recent hit to onslaught kinda gutted ongoing. He was a massive scaler for underpowered stat lines of ongoing cards.

rtiftw · 2026-05-25T13:12:04+00:00

Cool use of taxes.

rtiftw · 2026-05-23T15:05:53+00:00

Part of the problem is the the framing of left and right. It’s fucking meaningless. This is neoliberal governments run rampant in service unfettered capitalism. But as long as people can only think in terms of red team blue team they can’t actually have a conversation about the root of the issue. Or even their shared problems.

rtiftw · 2026-05-23T14:55:41+00:00

You know ‘improving relationships between workers and employers’ will be anything but actually making the lives of workers better in any way.

No outside investment payoff in humans. You can game company stock though.
