Conservatives are incapable of good government. They don’t believe in it. They don’t understand it. They’re shitty people.

Conservatives will say anything to align with the in-group, to hurt the outgroup, or for personal power. They have no internal beliefs beyond those.

Any text based platform is not going to be representative. Many people don’t read well, and don’t have the ability to communicate well in writing.

They want hierarchy. A king, nobles, and an underclass. They don’t care if they’re on top, just so long as someone is below them.

Yeah, the Senate is a bad idea. If the US was a collection of little sovereign states mostly independent maybe it would make sense. But it’s not.

Get rid of the Senate. Add more seats to the house.

Get rid of lifetime appointments of supreme court justices. Pull them up from lower courts to hear cases, then send them back.

Not to overly repeat myself, but as discussed in the book “dying of whiteness”, there’s a lot of people that would rather their kid go hungry than a black kid get a meal.

If it’s like before, eventually it’ll be just a vague “things were bad” like the gilded age or great depression. Humans aren’t great at learning big picture things.

I used to care more about work. But this job pays garbage and is frothing over AI, so fuck them.

The doing it doesn’t bother me so much as the “Hey so I was browsing through my downvotes and noticed you downvoted me. Justify your actions to me!” PMs.

That is not healthy behavior.

Well that’s consistent, if you accept their belief as true. Who cares about the mortal body when it’s a blink of an eye before eternal heaven?

Unfortunately, they are almost certainly mistaken. This is probably all they get.

Rather, it’s the presence of a competitive market.

Competitive markets are hated by private business owners

Rich people don’t want to give anything up.

Assholes don’t want their out-group to have anything nice. Even if it means they suffer.

Many people don’t know shit about fuck, and they’re just trying to get through the week.

My dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business,

Anyone who sincerely believes that is too fucking ignorant and or stupid to be taken seriously. They’re a hazard to themselves and their polity.

In the King James Version, this is translated as:

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Management are assholes and idiots.

Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.

But if I’ve learned anything from history, it’s that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.

Right? I often like being around people. I don’t want to do it in the fucking office

Weak shitty men know on some level they’re weak shitty men. They lash out and desperately cling to toys to prop up their failing ego.

Happily on linux for a while now. No problems. kde desktop looks almost the same as windows, anyway. Fuss with it less than windows.

Whenever a chat bot is aggressively presented on a website, I like to ask it how to disable all AI features. Often it will tell me to click on menu options that don’t exist.
