That was a lie used to sell more guns to idiots.

What the 2nd amendment actually means nowadays is law abiding citizens have to live under the threat of constant gun violence. They can “gun” up if they want to dramatically increase the chance that they or their family will be shot and of course help make gun corporations rich.

I got a headache just from watching the video. Flashing lights like this when not dealing with a actual threat should definitely be considered a form of assault.

Like that guy in the UK who was “pro genocide” as a joke. All his pro-palestine friends got arrested. He was okay because he was pro-genocide. Apparently only anti-genocide is banned.

He would have been one of the first billionaires adjusted for inflation if he had not of died in his sixties. Garbage greedy human being.

It is almost like we should just boycott all big tech.

Don’t want Meta/Google/Twatter/Reddit profiling you and giving your information to the feds? Stop using their services and encourage everyone you know to stop as well.

Until we put our foot down they aren’t going to stop.

It shows you how rigged the voting system is in favor of the Republicans for the presidential election. They have rejected the illusion of democracy at this point let alone the practice.

They have gerrymandered, used religion, the courts, infiltrated voting systems, and not mention constant propaganda with a heavy reliance on othering people to ensure they win even when their numbers are less.

Fair enough, I guess I would expect them to act logically since they have are supposed to support law and order. I am obviously wrong.

All these losers with defense fantasy syndrome trying to prey on people is pretty gross. People need to start thinking and stop being reactive.

The nation of immigrants trying to destroy immigrants.

Let me get this right. They are claiming ICE with a straight face!?

This has got to be a joke, who in their right mind would try to cover for ICE. This police union owes them nothing and if anything ICE is making policing more dangerous by allowing poorly trained officers to damage law enforcement reputation.

I think it is challenging not judging history through a modern lense. I am definitely guilty of examining the “founding fathers” through this modern lense and coming to conclusions that weren’t possible for them at the time.

Move the slider completely over to feelings and you have most US news in a nutshell. There may be some facts, but it is really about the feels.

I was watching this reality TV show about teen parents. There was a couple that was having sex, but they hadn’t kissed yet because kissing was much more intimate!?

But what about second rape?

Yeah, dumb take.

The Americans at the time were way worse than the British. The Boston Massacre was a great example of propaganda that was pushed by the wealthy’s news outlets to divide the colonists.

The founding father’s were manipulative fucks that used terror and lies to take control of the colonies for their own interests.

Washington was on his way to becoming the first billionaire adjusted for inflation. This just reinforces there are no good guys.

Oh sure, they have used commercial artist’s work without compensation so many times. It is clear they never wanted to pay for it to begin with.

99% of art is made without the intention of selling it. I think it is bizarre that capitalists are so desperate to make art = money when that was never the point to begin with for the majority of it. It is just another perversion from our greedy culture.

You can always tell someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about. First, there was no illegal discrimination. In fact, according to existing policies the Federal Government and all government contractors cannot create quotas or have any preference in hiring. It is straight up illegal.

Now we can talk about the private sector. They can hire whoever they fucking want. Chick-fil-A won’t hire or allow openly gay managers/administrators/owners. Likewise some women’s only shelter, who are also private but nonprofit, won’t hire male workers for certain roles. This is completely legal.

The victim is minorities and women who are being singled out because DEI dictates and certain companies choose to give them a chance. It is their fault for “stealing” a job away from a white male. Do you understand how bombastically stupid this is?

I think you don’t understand the law or DEI just like the author who desperately wants to blame someone else for his inability to prepare his child for the job market.

There are tons of jobs and tons of companies ran by man-o-sphere assholes who only hire white males. The number of companies that openly give preference to white males without explicitly saying so dwarf companies willing to give minorities and women a shot.

If DEI works so well how come women make up less than 30% of upper management but yet comprise of 47% of the work force. Even worse CEO are only 10% women. Where is this avalanche of control DEI has given women and minorities?

It doesn’t exist, In fact DEI barely moved the needle for minorities and is only responsible for a small amount of women placed in roles they were eligible for but looked over. The best criticism is DEI didn’t really work not that our sons can suddenly find no jobs.

As a hiring manager who has hired hundreds of people in the private, nonprofit, and government sector I can confidently say the author is full of shit.

I read all the way through it to the end, a sappy father son epic of victim blaming. Garbage.

Garbage article confusing classism with sexism. Ultimately DEI only helped a small percentage of women access jobs they would not be considered for in the past. It is called competition, but this guy wants to try and create a narrative that doesn’t exist except in his head.

Whether it is another male or a well qualified woman it doesn’t change you were not in the right spot at the right time. Blaming a competitive employment space on DEI is just stupid. There are hundreds if not thousands of candidates that all want that job.

The statistics don’t lie as well ~45 percent low level managers are women. So men still have an advantage, but it gets worse with seniors management only about ~35 percent. Even worse CEO ~10 percent. Doesn’t look like DEI was an advantage after all.
