We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road

NATO isn’t an army, it’s a defense pact. Member countries can’t just launch an attack against a non-member country (especially to “protect” said non-member).

I think it’s fair to say that ~80% of voters will just follow whatever their party’s media outlets say they should vote for. If a proper leftist and actually got the DNC nomination, I don’t think many classic liberals would think twice about voting for them.

Imagine calling a a guy who owns a .com and another dude whose podcast is exclusive to the largest audio streaming service in the world “the dark web.”

If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years

Go get your gun and brownshirt then Rambo

You are not one of the good guys

Promise?

I remember when “analog horror” was when the VCR ate your rental tape

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” “the issue isn’t liberal globalism, the issue is unregulated markets.”

Of course no one is arguing on halting all international trade but the same brainrot idealogy that encourages maximum globalism also encourages finding the least-regulated and most profitable trade partners. Until the entire globe can adopt a different paradigm, you can’t reconcile those two components as not being inextricably linked. There’s no possible scenario where global liberal capitalism doesn’t produce unregulated, monopolistic, wealth-concentrating trade.

Bad thing happens.

Side A says bad thing is actually good and wants to continue bad thing.

Side B says bad thing is bad but actually wants to continue bad thing.

Debt, debt, debt, and debt. Most people don’t own anything in “their” home and probably never will.

Not to mention the fact that most of those (giant houses, trucks) are just people buying the only options on the market.

The economy isn’t dictated by some natural law and the metrics that we measure it’s state are completely arbitrary.

The economy exists only to improve the lives of the people who make it. If the people (overwhelmingly) say the economy is bad, then we already have the answer and need to work backwards from that. The fact that stock market reports say otherwise doesn’t address that fact anymore than “the sky is blue” counters “I’m hungry.”

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Been getting a lot of mileage out of this quote

Post-1989 globalist liberalism failed to improve QoL, pure and simple. Across the western world, people have watched international trade deals do nothing but siphon jobs and wealth out of their homes

If you’re the type of person whose life is actually hurt by this, you deserve it lol

I was making fun of you. Literally every authority said for months leading up to Nov. 5th said “the election has never been more secure,” and we made fun of the MAGAs for saying it was going to be rigged. We don’t get to change our mind just because we didn’t get the outcome we wanted.

Is it our turn to claim election fraud?
