They talk about it as seriously as they do 9/11. I was baffled the first time I saw this irl but yeah they get very emotional about it lol

Pretty funny how boomer liberals who grew up with Nixon as their Trump are now voting and cheering for people to the right of him and Kissinger.

What prompted this thought was finding out that Stephen King supported Gary Hart’s run for presidency back in 1984. Gary Hart was one of the earlier adopters of neoliberalism in the Democratic Party that would eventually become the New Democrats.

That explains a lot about the difference in political memes I see between men and women

Those guys got really mad when I said TikTok and Douyin aren’t pushing anti-USA content even though they should. Libs think China is a lot more aggressive than it actually is.

I doubt he gets anywhere near Ross Perot or George Wallace numbers

Maybe the anti-Trump propaganda got to them. They’re going especially hard this year.

They can’t be serious. They’re going to find their chances of losing increasing as soon as Trump is out of the picture.

It’s incredibly frustrating when people say that Palestine and Ukraine are exactly the same situation

It’s a special kind of Anarchist who take this attitude and they’re all over NYC. Like the aesthetic while being radlibs at the end of the day. I have a lot of disagreements with anarchists but you can tell which ones are the real thing and which ones just give themselves the title to be politically edgy.

Wtf I completely missed theremoved allegations. When did that happen?

 

These people love to accuse others of having a simplistic worldview when they can only view geopolitical conflicts as good vs. evil.

Best part starts at 6:03 but it's all a masterpiece

 

This is from a "leftist" sub. This same user then says they're muslim and that everybody objecting to their take doesn't understand politics and is an edgy teenage tankie larper.

I'm fucking done with NATO leftists on these subs and sticking to TheDeprogram and SLS before I give myself an aneurysm

 

It seems that this is an attempt to gain favor with Latin American countries as they move more towards China. I have a feeling this is going to go the usual way of American-led incompetence by giving the private sector too much control and having every project take forever to complete.

Also to note that the biggest America worshipping countries joined this little forum while pledging themselves to their lord.

 

One of my childhood friends is finding himself in a tough situation. He's autistic and has struggled to make decent money for most of his life. He recently got a job working as a dishwasher while looking for a trade to get into.

His parents are when the issues kick in. They charge him rent (he's 31 btw) that's currently only $107. They used to charge him $300 back in 2014 and would have it go up by $50 every year to the point he was paying $600 before Covid hit. He still had to pay rent while in school and his parents refused to stop it during that time. The majority of his unemployment checks during Covid went into their rent.

They decided to change things by having him go on foodstamps in order to reduce his rent. He spends maybe $20 a week at the most for food because he's never been a big eater. Most of that foodstamp money goes to his parents who use it for groceries, including his. The thing is that they spend way more than he ever does and completely max out the card every month.

He's been under stress lately because he has to re-certify but his new job has a schedule that's all over the place and makes it so he keeps missing the calls when they happen. His parents insist that part of this process is to help him with his Autism and "become an adult." The stress got so bad for him with all the missed calls that he threw his hands up and decided to just not re-certify because it was adding too much stress in his life. His parents responded angrily by saying he would then "owe" them money in the form of $250 a month plus the $174 he already owes from a loan he took out five years ago.

The big kicker is that they're a pretty wealthy family living in a very wealthy part of Upstate New York, but they leech off what little money he has like vultures. The whole rent thing is said to be helping him with his Autism to become more self-sufficient but if anything it's made him more financially dependent on them than anything.

I know this was more of a rant than anything, but it's been difficult listening to this for years now and seeing him still stuck living with them. It's pretty clear to me that he's scared of moving out of their nice house and living in some sketchy apartment without a car because he can't afford one. I'm just not sure what else there is to do because I'm not living in the US and am unfamiliar with how social services work there.

Is there a way for him to get out and not be living on the edge of poverty?

Kind of a weird zinger. I thought leftists were stereotyped to be sex-driven heathens?
