The 32 hour work week sounds too good to be true nowadays.

[-] kgbbot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 hours ago

Our productivity has grown exponentially, there's no reason 32 isn't feasible is a greed

It's the college-for-all. They don't want to read. They don't want to learn. Get rid of that, and our stupid, bigoted, asshole rightwing shitheads will happily agree to the rest. "Oh, and no brown people so fuck Palestine."

Tbh this could give us room to negotiate... Assuming anyone is still thinking this will work in a fair an honest way.

The sad thing is that their audience is conditioned to fear and hate all of these things.

[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 4 points 2 hours ago

Right this is their handlers telling them what to hate.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

brown people might get some of that

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 31 points 6 hours ago

Yes but, they put those thinga up to ridicule. They dont even bother trying to give reason why they think theyre bad.

They just put them up and go:

"Healthcare for everyone??! Thats crazy, only crazy people think that".

"Housing for everyone?!? Thats communist, and we all know thats dumb and bad".

And thats it. Their viewers go "hawhaw, dumb communists, yea thats right theyre crazy!!"

If you're going for Foxnews-speak ya gotta mix in a healthy serving of zero-sum into the rhetoric:

  • "Healthcare for everyone?! So they want your good healthcare to suffer with longer waits and lower services.
  • "Housing for everyone?!? Say goodbye to your financial nest egg in your house you've been paying on for 30 years. If everyone has housing, your house is now worthless because who would pay for something they get for free?:
  • "College for all?! Oh, so you had to pay your student loans off over 30 years, but now they get it for free?! That's not fair to you!"
  • "Tax the rich?! They're coming for your savings because obviously your life savings of $100,000 at age 65 is what they're talking about when they say to 'tax the rich'."

For Foxnews crowd its frequently a fear appeal that someone is taking from them.

The implication is that wealthy people will ultimately have to pay for it all and will lose their wealth and thereafter just be normal.

Weirdly, lots of poor people jump on this band wagon because they "identify as" wealthy people. My parents belong in this category. They used to be called "temporarily embarrassed millionaires", but a millionaire isn't really that wealthy any more.

Regardless, you have this bizarre situation of poor people voting to improve the situations of wealthy people, because that's who they aspire to be.

Yes, it's bonkers.

Maybe just get it done for Blue and Purple states. Red states can just shake their fists in anger and wear red hoods.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

That's been the joke with Democrats for a while now.

Republicans will propose a policy - abortion prohibition, loyalty tests for public employees, eliminating income taxes, etc, etc - and fully deliver it at the municipal and state levels (with predictable results).

Democrats will form a working group to discuss a plan to staff a committee to issue a report that says "Sorry, it's too hard, and businesses frowned at us when we tried".

From California's plan for Zero Emissions Cars to Vermont's Universal Health Care to New York Securing Wages Earned Against Theft Act to give unpaid employees liens on company property. California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed everything from an AI regulation bill to a ban on PFAS chemicals in hygenie products to a bill banning Caste based discrimination (a popular form of discrimination among wealthy Hindus).

Blue states largely suck at actually delivering on their platforms. The corporate Dems are much more focused on "competing" with Republicans on making their states "business friendly".

...wear red hoods.

And all they'll need is some red dye.

I wonder if that guy looked at the screen, read each item, and thought “oh damn, I picked the wrong side”.

[-] unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 1 points 32 minutes ago

Honestly, this doesn't match the usual shit I see from Fox News (mind you, it's been a while since I've seen fox news, thank god). Normally I'm used to seeing something like a guy with a strict beard and a cowboy had talking about how liberalism is destroying America. The way they're putting it here is very flattering in comparison to what I'm used to.

A part of me wonders if someone there likes those ideas and purposefully didn't invest all too much effort into making them look bad.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

He gets all of them already.

His beef is with anyone he thinks is below him in station enjoying any of the same

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago

He chose to work for Faux News, so no.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

And that's how pervasive the fascist propaganda is. These things that are logical to us are anathema to them at the conceptual level.

Controversial prediction: it will be the Republicans who eventually make socialised healthcare a thing.

Ohh and the right wants all those things (except Palestine they are divided on that) but for citizens only not for everyone.

A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.

  3. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!
