Let's make this meme more accurate, shall we?

  • Kennedy: Imperialism, use the presidency to get laid
  • Johnson: Imperialism and expansion of social safety net
  • Nixon: Imperialism and a one-party state (But oddly gave us the EPA)
  • Reagan: Make the rich wealthier, destroy unions, kill the gays
  • Bush: Imperialism, making the rich wealthier and destroying unions
  • Clinton: Imperialism, increase corporate power under the guise of 'free trade', suppress the gays
  • Bush II: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, eliminate the right to privacy, militarize the cops
  • Obama: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, make health care more expensive, militarize the cops
  • Trump: Imperialism (though oddly less so), make the rich wealthier, militarize the cops
  • Biden: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, militarize the cops, ignore food becoming cost-prohibitive
  • Trump II: Destroy everything, make the rich even wealthier, especially himself

I love how short-sighted this is. Like, I think there are more people that are on a higher level of understanding nowadays, but still the old game still remains. America is an imperialist empire and fascist are the useful idiots of empire. Neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology. Do you think a million dollars is a lot of money? Well I can tell you a billionaire uses that to wipe his ass. So when he donates it to charity, he's just trying to manage perception. So what I'm trying to say is that the Democrats are neoliberal and they are fascist and both the Democrats and the Republicans work together to keep the working class down. That's why we live the way we do today because things only continue to get worse. The rest of the world sees us as a right-wing country. The Democrats are controlled opposition. The bourgeois elections mean nothing to me or anybody with a fucking clue. The Democrats supported genocide in Gaza. Bernie Sanders and AOC are sheep dogs. They are not socialist, but they are there to defame socialist ideas. You can look this up online. It's called the ratchet effect. So no, this is a little too simple for me. This is like baby boo boo diaper information. It's a very immature analysis of the current state of things or what has happened in the past. End Wokeism no War but the Class War.

Disagree. There were lots of good points in that rambly mess.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 21 hours ago

as others have said, try synthesizing your ideas. You have a good core argument, but its a little rambly, with some things that feel more buzz word then argument.

Try leading with your thesis, in this case "The democrats are controlled opposition that work with the Republicans to keep the working class down" and then follow up with your supporting comments and evidence. Alot of people wont read everything and just by the first half will judge what you say.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for blueberry muffins in iambic pentameter.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

LLMs write better than that.

You take some flour, and some room temp eggs
Room temperature butter is the best
And some warm milk, you stage it with the rest
Vanilla, sugar, and baking soda
If you forget your berries, you are fucked
Iambic pentameter is shit. Salt.

Get all of these items into a big bowl
Mix it or whatever, I am not your boss
Batter should be consistency of sludge

Heat your oven to the maximum temp
Pour your batter directly in oven
Leave your house, tell neighbors you broke your toe
Return to home, act surprised it is ash
Get insurance check, use to buy muffins

Prep time: 30-45 minutes
Cook time: 2 months if insurance is fast

Sure, I did a bad job. But in my defense, I put more effort into this than I should have and wasted everyone's time. Especially mine.

This is not a recipe.

Recipes come with a 3 paragraph life story at the start.

Forsaken by my parents, I must bake
A pie, a biscuit, or even a cake
My parents, so proud, say that they love it
I, too, am fulfilled cuz in them, I shit

If nutty, to them, I serve up a pie
Or a dish more savory, if corn supplied
Since I was a child, I have done this
I am better at it than at rhyming

If you want a nice treat, leave out the poo
Or keep it in, really, it's up to you
As you make what I bake, something might stink
Solutions are found in my sponsored links

Now I will let you get to the big bake
More words are needed for profits at stake
Please take care and enjoy my recipe
Return next week when I make drinks from pee
