Voters don’t have a clue about how much worse Trump’s second term would be (www.inquirer.com)

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.

WaxedWookie,

I’d recommend you exit the right-wing media loop - it’s well established that it is designed to provoke fear and disgust responses that’ll burn you out pretty quickly. It’ll also fill your head with the kind of transparent nonsense that would motivate you to vote Trump, but that’s a different issue.

WaxedWookie,

Median roperty prices have increased more than 600% relative to median wages in the past 50 years where I’m from. Now, on 2 incomes, I’m trying to buy a modest apartment in that pumped market, and I’m bidding against downsizers and investors that were the beneficiaries of all that growth after buying a house that cost less than my deposit.

Now these motherfuckers call us lazy and gaslight us, saying everything is fine? Noah, fuck the boat - we’re building guillotines.

WaxedWookie,

As things get egregious enough, we (the market/externalities) start creating costs for them, which will be extracted in blood - if history is anything to go by, at least.

WaxedWookie,

Once we’ve paid for the essential company, why not keep it? The market has already demonstrated it can’t deliver this essential product/service.

WaxedWookie,

Much like the propaganda outlet responsible for the bullshit article, your white victim complex is pathetic. Sack up, and stop being so easily conned by obvious bullshit - there’s plenty of real issues to worry about without the need to invent new ones to cry about.

-Regular white dudes.

WaxedWookie,

Probably an effective way to get them to read it given their victim complex about being white.

WaxedWookie,

Serious question - where would we see signs of broad Israeli opposition to the genocide? I know Netanyahu is unpopular, but I don’t think the genocide is a major factor in that unpopularity.

WaxedWookie,

Not to mention the view that being anti-genocide is antisemitic - a deeply stupid, dishonest, antisemitic position that gives the best possible justification one could give for the extermination of the Jews.

WaxedWookie,

Maybe pick the lesser evil rather than pissing your vote away and enabling the worse option?

WaxedWookie,

Ah yes - the the DC cinematic universe went great, and people definitely can’t get enough of lazy rehashes of the same old IP - what could possibly go wrong?

WaxedWookie,

They’ve also stolen code from emulators (who I think they also sued).

WaxedWookie,

Conspiracism - these people tend to be conspiracy-brained already, and they don’t want you to know how the legal system really works because they want to use it to control the sheeple - but the conspiracists are special - smarter than all that. The politicisation of the COVID vaccine combined with people being locked down was a massive boon for these rubes.

Give it time, they’ll either get a reality check, or (more likely) realise all their conspiracies point to the Jews and adopt a Nazi-adjacent ideology.

WaxedWookie,

We love our hierarchies, folks.

WaxedWookie,

You forgot to make the point - you just vaguely gestured at examples of problems with those calling themselves anarchists… as though every last one of us hasn’t personally experienced problems with strong hierarchies.

I understand that relying on a point rather than implied threats of violence may be new territory for someone advancing the position you appear to be, so I’ll give you another try - try steering clear of transparent hypocrisy this time too.

WaxedWookie,

What’s this got to do with your apparent love of rigid hierarchies, exactly?

WaxedWookie,

The commonality there is brain damage and/or subnormal intelligence.

WaxedWookie,

Is this freedom and small government?

WaxedWookie,

A “benevolent dictator” funnelling public funds and lives into an offensive war effort to keep the populace unified in hate sounds, and is meant to sound hellish. It’s an unnecessary waste of resources and lives that comes at the direct expense of providing for your people.

What are the advantages?

WaxedWookie,

Common goals, with a strong unifying purpose for 1.

In no way reliant on a benevolent dictator, and using authoritarianism to push a purpose generally results in outcomes like genocide and the annexation of neighbouring territories.

Opportunities for significant advancement.

The opposite is typically true as autocratic leaders use their power to entrench their power, enforcing strong hierarchies.

Significant investment into medical care.

This one is a mixed bag, but also isn’t remotely dependent on an autocrat.

Strong leadership direction.

That needs to point in a positive direction for it to be a positive - something that’s almost never happened for long

An extremely egalitarian society.

The opposite is almost invariably the case - preferential treatment (generally paired with bloodshed) is necessary to keep the powerful in power.

Filtering of those in power.

Who filters the dictator? That would mean they’re not a dictator.

WaxedWookie,

Calling opposition to genocide antisemitic is one of the most anti-semitic things one could do - it paints genocide as inherent to Judaism - a ludicrous position that is about the best reason one could find to justify exterminating the Jews.

WaxedWookie,

Yep - that’d be the human intervention I mentioned, which is now being removed. It was clearly the people that were the ones shifting the targeting away from the legitimate military targets to civilians - AI wouldn’t get regularly things wrong, right?

WaxedWookie,

Nobody tell them about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

I remember when I thought the USSR was communist - simpler times… simpler me - then I picked up a dictionary.
