  • It’s the American right wing way of convincing the population that 1: you’ll never have peace with a mixed population and 2: we can never have the nice things other countries have because we’re a mixed population.

    They get to keep the status quo of “everything gets worse so businesses owners make more” and they get to use the racist dog whistles to keep those racist asshats on their side by “proving” race mixing makes things worse…

    It works because people don’t really think about what’s being said. :(

    I spent hours with my mother explaining a scientific paper that was paraded around YouTube with the usual half-assed reading they do, and that fucker even ended with “don’t trust me, read for yourself!” Which naturally no one does as “well he told me to look so he can’t be lying.”

    Yeah well he was at best just dense and didn’t understand, but more than likely capitalizing on sensational bullshit…

    No, the Chinese are not trying to create a super deadly COVID variant Mr.Campbell…





  • I have absofuckinglutley no faith whatsoever in our society to do the right thing in this respect. We value ownership waytoofuckingmuch when it comes to businesses, were never going to get past the argument of “I put forward the capital for this business, I am entitled to all of the profits. Who cares that there is no work for you? No work no pay.”

    I forsee a gigantic increase in homelessness and politicians will use that as an excuse to further cut any social spending as they’ll pin all our issues on “communist policies.” :(

    I love that I have the option to vote for people on specific platforms in NY. I can show support for the Working Families Party while still voting for Democrats as the politicians can run under multiple parties so I’m not just tossing away a vote just to send a message
