The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization.

We have all always had the choice to make politics something that the people do, and not something that is done to us.

I think the definition of working class is still pretty simple regardless of modern financial complexities. If you rely on a paycheck to make a living you are proletariat. If you own enough capital that you don’t have to work, congrats, now you are petit bourgeois.

Low 6 figure is the minimum required to have a middle class lifestyle for one person (not a family) in California. And when I say middle class lifestyle, I mean not having to worry about bills, but still not able to buy a house or a new car without decades of saving or massive debt. Maybe you can afford a vacation once a year if you haven’t had any unexpected medical problems.

You will never sound like a dick mouthing off about rich people, because we know they all deserve it.

The Israeli state should be dissolved and a new state created that gives equal rights to all, outlaws Zionism, and eradicates the mechanisms of settler-colonialism. I wouldn’t be opposed to reparation payments either.

I mean, you are technically correct that Liberia has nominal independence… but it’s the same kind of correct as saying that the US has full democracy.

Colonialism never ended. The method of control just switched from hard power to soft power. Instead of shooting you, they’ll demand controlling stakes in your national industries in return for aid programs that turn farmers off their lands and slowly ensure that food availability is entirely dependent on Western charity. Meanwhile, you’ll be paying interest on compensation that the colonizer is demanding you pay in return for your “independence.”

And Reagan made it illegal for them to strike ever again.

We’re talking about a socialist revolution here. The electoral process of the capitalist rulers of the United States is hardly relevant.

We desperately need a socialist revolution.

I’m saying we shouldn’t teach competitiveness as a value in and of itself. Competition in sports is fine.

How tf does this dumb shit get 15 upvotes?

Because of our wasteful and growth-oriented way of life capitalism.

FTFY.

You forgot that the prize comes from a foundation named after another crook! Can’t make this shit up.

Why should we be teaching competitiveness? That’s how you turn society into individuals who only look out for their own needs and are apathetic when you do things like a fascist coup. Oh wait…

Nah, I’d much rather be teaching kids cooperation.

(Sports are still great, but not for the reason of teaching competitiveness).

This war is about land and imperialist control over the middle east, not religion.

Sure, one side has 95% of the world’s wealth behind it and the support of the strongest military in history, but yeah both sides are equally responsible and have equal impact on whether the genocide continues…

It’s wild how almost every bad thing in China is worse in the US now.

Unfortunately, all the Israel bots need to do is say “Hamas” and suddenly everyone thinks Israel is a victim.
