The US is such a historically unprecedented success that most of our socio-political disfunction comes from having to invent purely theoretical constructs and stridently claim than they would obviously be better than the structure that produced the current miracle.
@JustLuai I mean, many are fleeing active war zones and objective poverty
So, coming here seems a lot better
But, I agree that too many come here intent on recreating the community they come from rather than embracing Western values (which created the peace and prosperity)
@mdubowitz I don't understand why he doesn't resume intense bombing for a few days and see if they want to negotiate, then
And, if not, maintain constant suppression of the Iranian military 🤷
@JustJoshinNH@RealTweetofMe 🎶 This is my holiday holiday holiday Jingle
I'm calling Ms Kringle
Cause I'd rather cuck Santa than admit that I'm single
My family don't know
That I broke with my hoe
And Granny's a judgemental bitch 🎶
@StephenKentX@BasedMikeLee This clip makes me think of the one person in the school play who doesn't remember the choreography and tries to copy the person beside her
@DastDn Though, the policy on kids sports should be that it's up to the league but they need to have a policy in place and no changing once kids sign up for the season
And new schools/stadiums should have some of those single person washrooms
@DastDn This is why politics on the left collapsed
Ex: Trans rights activists focusing on social norms instead of actual policy
Pronouns, kids sports, etc aren't things that should/can be legislated on
Employment and healthcare protections are - and had public support
@CarolineSeydel@CoreyWriting I get that you're being sarcastic. But I simply don't believe the test scores bit is true
The correlation of the introduction of phones into the classroom and the first generational decline in learning outcomes is troubling
@Mr_Andrew_Fox Isn't that part of the tragedy?
It's like how many of those slaughtered on 10/7 were hippie peace activists who advocated for Palestine rights
But many of the survivors and their peers are no longer peaceniks because the world is cruel
We need pragmatic actions
@DastDn It's not that folks don't want to do big things, but big things are hard with high failure rate
We've forgotten the virtue of striving, focusing too much on results
Labour is only valuable if monetized
So, until you break through, it's almost embarrassing to try
