If he is autistic, then you can tell he didn't grow up in a school like most neurodivergent people.

This is kinda what Twitter always was. It's what happens when you sort by author instead of by topic.

When we listened to pro-corporate centrists, they voted Republican instead.

When we listened to the left, we had a fantastic midterm.

So yeah it was both sides. The corporate centrists are ass and nobody actually wants them. We see exactly how to keep winning. So if the DNC decides to fuck around as usual in two years, I hope you realize that it's on purpose. This is me campaigning to you right now, so you can't say we waited until election season.

Democrats can represent us for a bit longer until we get ranked choice voting. And if they don't support it, then you'll know it's because they're for sale. It's as obvious to them as it is to you.

Now that conservatives are OK with tariffs, we should impose a massive tariff on Israel, and outright prohibit their political donations. IRS audit every congressperson annually.

I know that the producer is Jewish, the writers are Jewish, I am Jewish, and most of the other (actors who played) Ferengi are Jewish, so keep that in mind,” Shimerman said. “When I traveled to Australia, they said to me, ‘C’mon the Ferengi are the Chinese, right?’ When I travel to England, ‘C’mon, the Ferengi are the Irish, right? When I travel to different parts of the world, it is the outsider in their community that is the Ferengi. It happens that here in America, perhaps we think it is the Jews. But in other parts of the world, they don’t think of that at all—they just think of another stereotype.

The prevalence of gangs is a direct result of racist law enforcement. Saying "oh simply don't join a gang" is minimizing a difficult decision involving their own safety.

Which changes quickly? If we don't stop the concentration of wealth by addressing its root causes, then all of this will happen again.

If I had three minimum wage jobs in a future where that can rent a robot, then I'd have it carry me around. You'd see an android with a sleeping elder slung over its shoulder, politely maneuvering around the subway.

But it's called the Communist Manifesto?

Keynesian economics helped bring capitalism to the late stage. The central premise is to cause inflation so that workers are encouraged to invest in businesses, growing the overall economy. Which it did! The economy has grown drastically... but we don't own it.

Keynes suggested that we spend the inflation money on public works, not guaranteed returns for people with so much money that they can lock it away in bonds. It's an idea that requires a functioning democracy while constantly funneling money away from workers. We're creating all these bubbles because people want to save for the future but everything is a scam. Keynes didn't realize that what he was asking for was free information that we don't have.

Keugman and other modern Keynesians generally mean well. But they're incredibly dangerously wrong, and we never should have listened to them.

True but that's moving the goalposts

I curse you to someday argue with young people about whether we should declare victory once climate change is solved, or keep going to engineer a Risa-like perfect climate.
