I mean this is amazing. In the world of the 80s and 90s that’d be enough to destroy a company, stripped down to parts and sold off. Now in this cowardly new “too big to fail” world of Clarence Thomas-reeking doubletalk bullshit, this’d result in no consequences whatsoever
Google has been this bad since their initial IPO, when they signalled their intent to do this, and should have been stopped to protect the most useful public utility ever invented. Since that day they’ve been a pimp; the decision to become a pimp led to this.
representative, vs direct democracy
not that the whole edumication thing has been solved, but this shit clearly ain’t working
old people don’t have anything to do BUT vote, and bitch and moan, and most importantly to them, reminisce. Which means they won’t actually be paying attention to current events, because they think they already know everything and can’t understand new perspectives. My inlaws have members three generations older than me, and those fucking people - one of them said that she’d never bothered updating the opinions her parents gave her because “if they were good enough for them they’re good enough for me” - I mean, they’re literally living fossils, venerating the dead and having zero understanding of anything that’s happened since September 11, the last world event worth noticing in their view.
You couldn’t get three words into a discussion of some of the concerns of the modern world without their eyes glazing over. It’s not possible for them to “get it”.
idk i mean you punched your way out of a pretty thick paper bag there with Brexit, stuff happens sometimes
not good stuff, obviously, but we all know why we can’t have nice things
yes but france has balls and russia can’t even do communism right!! ;)
I’d support the abolishment of both - term limits of 0, and the move to an actual democracy, which is not what “choose which nigga talks for you” accomplishes
lmao you really ain’t payin attention there bud
Well I certainly hope all those pigs don’t do the same thing, but they always have a high tolerance for shame
Shit no dawg. We’ve had loads of chances to fix it, but one half of the political divide actually wants to end the world so they can get raptured and shit cuz they only believe lies. Most of the population is just people doing what they’re supposed to and assuming others are doing the same. Apologies for not joining a radical cell and blowing shit up i guess… short of that, i mean, you can’t even talk about killing the people who need killing in any public forum let alone make a plan for it, and actually doing it would require, you know, snipers and shit, so…
I mean, you’re probably American. Y’all the ones with weapons out the wazoo. If that were useful, somebody would have paired up and done something about it by now. Obviously it’s not, which is good news, cuz it means you can put all that gung-ho rhetoric away and join the rest of us, but i mean yeesh, that was a lot of sound and fury just to signify nothing, nawm sayin?
courts will call that precedent in the future, or would anyway, if we weren’t all dead.
bro we’re so far past this lol
it’s been too late for probably a decade now, get ready to starve cuz there’s only a couple years left
Now that we’ve trained the whole world in american-style corporate criminality, we’re gonna pull the rug out from them and reveal ourselves to be the good guys! Right? Right, guys?
As a musician and spotify subscriber, can confirm
and largely always was
in their defense, it was probably also being sold before.
Morality is not only a social construct, you have it naturally as a child and if you’ve forgotten that I am sorry - I know a lot of people don’t remember anything of their first six or seven years of life. However, you observe morality in children even if you’re not railroading them. That “natural morality” is informed and altered by the society you live in, certainly, often in compromising ways that make you less, not more, moral, but to insist that morality is entirely socially negotiated is to negate your own lived experience, which is neither objectively nor subjectively a path to truth.
As someone who lived in seven different places by the time i was five, and who experienced several events involving extreme violence during that time which left a powerful impression, and furthermore due to my experience as a father, and in spite of my education as a psychologist which daftly and without basis (though with a lot of compelling circumstantial evidence) insists otherwise, i tell you with certainty - morality is innate.
the silence after this comment is called “tacit approval.” See the problem, media?
