You can be anti-genocide and still have enough of a working brain left to recognize singling out one political party at a time on the genocide in Gaza is a disingenuous argument, cause they both suck, and that specifically targetting the Dems ignores the part that Trump would happily let his good friend Bibi turn Gaza into glass.
It’s a dumb pro-GOP propaganda meme, and people that think shit memes like this have value are dangerous because they encourage voter apathy.
God what a transparently lame pro-Trump propaganda meme. Boooorrring, next!
Are any “undecided” voters actually swayed by this useless garbage?
Sitting on the sidelines while the world burns around you and complaining about it is highly effective. Withholding a protest vote (for either side) and supporting voter apathy is lame as hell.
At least when the capitalists are fucking you, regardless of who wins, you can smugly yell “I didn’t consent”.
God this take is such a loser position. “Fine, I’ll just take my ball and play a different sport!”
Guess what dummy, you’re playing soccer with these Yahoos whether you like it or not so pick a fucking side and THEN ALSO DO MORE."
…burn the fucking barn down with the animals in it, ya dumb bystander…
Some days I think “I wonder what life would be if I was a real scientist instead”, and then I see stuff like this and I go back to almost exploding or electrocuting myself in the backyard or garage.
Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.
I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.
I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.
Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.
What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.
The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.
For a really good riff on this same idea, I like “How to Lie With Statistics” by Darrell Huff, and it’s all illustrated!
Great, easy to understand breakdown of how statistics can be manipulated.
Wow, gross
Ah, a modest variation of the mushroom forager’s creed
You’re right, and this is an excellent idea. If you’re turning an asset into a cashflow, it should be taxable under all circumstances.
It’s a start. Its a modest increase in capital gains inclusion (66% instead of 50%) for all capital gains over $250,000 per year
So, good, normal people won’t be affected at all, but only super wealthy folks triggering a quarter million in gains every single year are going to feel any effect. And unfortunately, there’s more than a few ways to just avoid triggering gains anyways.
Eh, at least it’s a start.
Sounds like a pretty big win to me? Who answers emails after hours, yuck
This is our chance to make this person’s dreams come alive by downvoting them into oblivion!
Both water and humans agree, -40° is very cold
Those are the people making America great again!
Are most Republicans in the States so emotionally unstable and easy to manipulate, or is this guy an outlier?
I don’t know what his professional role is, but if he’s a public speaker he should probably be fired. That was embarrassing to watch.
