The motivations of kids are generally pretty obvious - most parents know exactly what it is their kids are wanting to do. And kids will work to accomplish that motivation despite what roadblocks the parents put in place, and at somepoint they will figure out a strategy to remain undetected.

Parents don't really get a vote WRT their kids having sex or doing drugs. They get _some influence over the details of how those occur, if they show they can be trusted to not freak out.

    Owned opposition. The fact that the majority of Americans view the democratic party as left leaning (or worse, "radically left") is among the greater information issue our society faces.

    But is “oligarchy” truly an accurate name for the enemy?

    Yes. Full stop - yes. A few hundred extremely rich people having massive influence over the society is an oligarchy and calling it anything else is imprecise.

    I really wish there was a form of political aptitude tests that didn't have all the problems voting tests inevitably have. The ones most against socialism are generally the ones that understand it the least.

    I'm pretty convinced GDD was spawned from a content farm likely in India. Reddit pays for successful content now which just incentivized a bunch subs to orient towards rage bait content. GDD walks the line between open sexism and normal venting,, mostly just to piss people off and bait engagement.

    The only thing keeping me sane is the knowledge that for the last several decades, Congress only voted for whatever they were bribed to vote for anyways. They’ve never voted one way or the other because they “understood” the subject matter.

    They acted corruptly before, they’re acting corruptly now. Nothing has changed.
