@TS199052@Bitflight_@Politichat2day@ABC The democratic party is a mess and largely compromised by foreign influence, just like the right. At the end of the day, for me, at least, it's the fundamental beliefs and values that put me left of center, not what dem represenatives have or haven't been able to effectuate.
@TunderBoomers@levine_ste66921@ABC That's bullshit, I watched livestreams from independent rightwing sources on that day, and it was even worse than what the msm showed, n4zi flags with pepe on them and stuff. My boss at the time was a big maga guy and told me the shit was going down on j6th, months in advance.
@PaulMaddams@elonmusk This is bullshit lol. I'm on the left and I've been to like 4 live shows in the past week. Maybe we're not going to heavily propagandized and corporatized country slop concerts, but we're out here rockin' and rollin'.
@elonmusk So conservatives largely don't believe in the 2nd Amendment anymore?
I can guarantee those numbers would have been different under the previous administration. This poll doesn't account for political tide shifts. It's a snapshot of current comfort level more than anything.
@LlloydDobler69@MotowarriorX@JoelleNemecek@hashjenni That's not true, there are many incredible people and minds in our military, who joined up due to family tradition and/or wanting to serve their country. But there are also a fair share of them that tow the line and allow propaganda and misinformation to inform their ideals.
@sedgladium@DavidJHarrisJr What's more globalist than a unifying religion? It's pretty much his job as the overseer of the Catholic religion to be a globalist.
@natashablue22@AP@atownsquare The whole "Art of the deal" is basically narcissistic psychological abuse. It does work sometimes, tbh, but it requires significant leverage.
@CollinGabrielCo@NarducciKeith@Bitcojner@elonmusk Class relations, ownership structures, and accumulation of capital are all influenced by human nature, greed, and corruption. It's easy to look at economic systems in a utopian vacuum, but it is not our reality. They're also important factors to consider while trading capital.
@NarducciKeith@Bitcojner@elonmusk Capitalism is about owning and amassing capital, not simply allowing commerce to occur. The problem is when the concentration of wealth through capital turns to oppression of those citizens, which is what we're experiencing now. That's more of a human nature problem though.
@ErikVoorhees For how much the right loves to call the left communists, the government demanding control of a private company sounds quite like the Soviet Union.
@MONKP1776@allenanalysis@krassenstein The economy is being propped up by an AI and tech bubble based on intrusive data farming masquerading as fantasy deliverables, while eliminating jobs en masse.
@allenanalysis Some real snowflake behavior. Just go grab a beer and toss the pigskin outside for 20 minutes during half time if you can't handle a fellow American citizen performing because he sings in Spanish. Dude was pretty funny in Happy Gilmore 2, fwiw.
