A blog to look at the trends in political narratives, because it's becoming increasingly clear that the character limit on Twitter is a detriment to fully...
@adlangx @MacfarlandAj @StephenKing ... my response has nothing to do with this particular situation. The point is that if you're looking to learn about current events, Twitter is the worst place you can go to find it.
@MacfarlandAj @StephenKing Brevity is fine; saying brevity is the soul of wit in response to the claim that Twitter doesn't allow complex complete thoughts within its character limit is not a sufficiently relevant claim or response.
You might take note.
@D_M_S_T@limo_pilot@MichelleHillith@USProgressives Reading existential philosophy, crying into my coffee as I contemplated existence, and then wrote poetry on my livejournal.
I think the struggle and the possibility to fail in a way that brings with it true consequences is an exceptionally helpful motivator in society.
@D_M_S_T@limo_pilot@MichelleHillith@USProgressives I'd like to think I'm a pretty sharp fella, and I like learning new things and 'moving forward' intellectually; however, if we had UBI to any significant degree, I know I'd most likely contribute less to society, using that freedom selfishly... probably in a library.
@D_M_S_T@limo_pilot@MichelleHillith@USProgressives I'm not saying that from the view of economic theory, I'm saying it from consistent experience with people in those positions. I worked for min wage when I was younger and I know people who are still in their same role 15 years later.
@D_M_S_T@limo_pilot@MichelleHillith@USProgressives I think automation presents a significant challenge to the future of our economy and how we think of our market; however, I don't think it's as simple as more education. There are surely exceptions, but a heavy % of people in entry level jobs their whole lives don't want to learn
@Star29014348 @sahbdeane@AOC But I understand. When you don't have a point to make but you refuse to accept that you just might not be correct, you might as well accuse someone of identifying with abusers.
And that makes you a horrific human.
@Star29014348 @sahbdeane@AOC Probably because you're stupid beyond comprehension, because if you knew me at all you'd know how laughable that claim is. But you don't know me and that's fine; however, based on what you DO know, you can't reasonably assume something like that
@Star29014348 @sahbdeane@AOC People who sexually assault people should be dealt with and claims should be taken seriously.
It's also true that Cruz, as much as I dislike him, didn't try to have her killed.
She conflates claims of 'being a survivor' to avoid being criticized for lying when she does.
@Star29014348 @sahbdeane@AOC so she lies about Cruz attempting to have her killed and then adds in a story about surviving sexual assault to make it impossible to criticize her lying about Cruz, and your response is 'you can't call her a liar to any degree or else you're silencing sexual assault survivors!'?
