Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:"Would you like it if we investigated YOUR guys" is the dumbest talking point imaginable and reduces any question of ethics down to a simple us vs them preposition any time I start talking politics with my mom (I’m getting better at avoiding it but not there yet) she always eventually comes out with “but her emails”. yeah, lock her up. lock Obama up too. no mercy for war criminals. I’ve explained multiple times that I’m not a liberal and the narrative and talking points she gets from tv aren’t going to work on me, but she always forgets by the next time we talk terminal Fox News brain is pretty scary to watch

DELETE CASCADE posted:as a straight cis white male suburb dweller, i don't need to own a gun to defend myself from chuds, because i am visually indistinguishable from a chud. hell, my dad voted for trump, i know how to deal with these people. in the scenario you are worried about, if you look white and delightsome, you're good, they aren't going to stop and interrogate you about politics. surely other white people have had this experience: the racists assume you are also a racist, the cops think you are on the side of cops, and they treat you as such. it's the ultimate privilege in trump's america! the folks who really need 500 guns in their trunk are people of color, transgender people, other visually obvious minorities the plan is to open up the armory and hand out rifles when the revolution comes? I mean the marginal utility of guns for a single person drops off fast once you get out of the single digits

I doubt that there were ever very many boomers who were actually on the left at all, aside from not wanting to fight in vietnam. always a fygm generation, just for a little while their interests coincided with people who give a poo poo about others. once the threat was removed it’s yuppie time

Kazinsal posted:go ahead, what's your solution then, o mighty all-knowing keeper of answers i don't fuckin know what will fix appalachia, but i'm just some dipshit computer toucher. the national parties plainly don't give a poo poo about the region, the whole area is dying, and i can completely understand why someone living there would be completely frustrated and unwilling to vote for either party. voting either way will make zero difference to the their day to day with no jobs, no hope, and no one in power giving a poo poo about them saying "they took the coal away" isn't ideal wording, but if you're not a lib fuckhead looking for excuses to poo poo on the rural poor, you can pretty easily tell what they mean: the middle class jobs left, the money has completely disappeared from appalachia, everyone there is completely hosed, and the response of the political and economic infrastructure is basically a giant shrug. that's what the complaint is about, ultimately: the decision about what areas of the country prosper and what areas don't is made by the capitalist class. these people could have jobs, but it's more profitable for them to suffer so that's what happens.

President Beep posted:i was being facetious because no one can understand what in the gently caress you’re trying to say about coal miners in Kentucky. job training to some other skilled trade is not an acceptable option for some reason? all the job training programs in the world won't help people living in an area without jobs. to actually effect meaningful change you have two options, that i can think of in the thirty seconds i've bothered to think about it: either relocate former miners to a more prosperous area, or truck in cash to get some poo poo going

it should be very easy for everyone to vote for biden, and here's why: you can't fix things by voting. don't come at me with some bullshit about constitutional amendments and abolishing the electoral college, that poo poo's less likely to happen than mitch mcconnell singing the internationale live on fox news. you do not get from contemporary america to a just society by voting for it. it doesn't matter that you don't have a candidate you like on the ballot, because the entire system is constructed to prevent candidates you like getting on the ballot. voting is harm reduction. picking the lesser of two evils, and then go work toward change by other means

mystes posted:I'd love to believe that Bernie would have gotten tons of votes if he actually won the primary but honestly I'm not convinced. I still want to believe that Americans would eventually like universal healthcare but people's brains are so poisoned against "socialism" that I think that it would probably take like 10+ years for people to finally accept it. there are tons of surveys that show broad support for socialist policies when they're pitched neutrally and not when you use the S word, i.e. "do you agree that the government should ensure everyone who needs medical care gets it" vs "do you support socialized medicine"

Broken Machine posted:if we're not paying teachers as well as lawyers and other professionals, if it's seen as inferior work and top students aren't going into it to instead become tech fuckos, we're not funding or supporting it appropriately. denmark and south korea pay teachers much better, it's a competitive career people want, and their educational outcomes reflect that. it in fact is that simple in that it's difficult but quite doable I suspect that funding schools primarily with property taxes fucks everything up poo poo even if paying teachers more didn’t help anything, it would still be worthwhile. there’s no world where I should make more than someone who does actually useful work like teaching children
