He could do so much good, but instead he’s selling off California and its people to enrich himself.

So a typical Dem?

It’s the Capitalist way, man. And California is nothing if not the most effective Capitalist state in the union.

Point taken. I’ll work with my marketing and publishing team to come up with something.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Silicon Valley has dozens of them. Take your pick.

He’s no worse than anyone else in the Dem party.

They are trying. Dems will be Dems, though.

The Peace and Freedom Party is running a bunch of actual Socialist candidates.

What is this Center you speak of?

Liberals are Capitalists. They are never left of Center.

Actual Leftism/Socialism starts with anti-Capitalism.

Dems are currently the most Right wing they’ve ever been in the US and were at best moderately Right wing back before Reagan. I recall the conundrum wealthy Dems had when their stock portfolios made them more money under Reagan and they choose to take the profits and shut up about it.

A Progressive Dem is still a Capitalist and not a Socialist so not really Progressive at all.

This wasn’t aimed at you specifically, Kim, I just take issue with this “Liberals are Centrists” silliness.

Sorry for the rant.

So this time we finish the job on these Nazis?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anti… fascist is correct.

China just over there letting them mfers fuck all their own shit up.

Snowflakes gonna snowflake. lol

Dear Greenlanders, take the money and stay in your homes.

Anti-intellectualism has always existed in the US but I’ll take your word about universities since I haven’t been in one since the 90s.

But honestly kids back then weren’t much better.

My only issue with King is he needs an editor to trim down his books. I went through a King phase back in the late 80s and by the early 90s I couldn’t pick up another one.

At that point his best work, IMO, was Four Seasons but yea, his prose isn’t James Joyce.

Agreed. The person who was talking about it referenced media literacy and being able to discern valid sources from, effectively, propaganda.

Critical thinking skills were more to the point of the “functional illiteracy” label.

And god damn that example hits home because the worst of social media posts are exactly that. The Reddit “um akshually” guy who wonders why a simple statement post doesn’t include every possible extrapolation because it has to be a one-upmanship game instead of a clarifying question.

Critical thinking skills aren’t completely dead in America, but they are on life support and I’m not sure it’ll survive.

To be fair, newspapers back in the day aimed to write for a 6-8th grade reading level here in the US.

At this point though, I’ve been told that this is basically functional illiteracy here.

Damn, and I thought I was doing good reading 6 grades above my level.

And as someone pointed out, that is basically functional illiteracy.

Hunh, good to know.

Head and dick shots only, then.

Thanks.

You can’t be so dense as to think that simple minded hair splitting is actually useful when people are being dragged from their homes at gunpoint by the US Gestapo right now?

Holy shit.

You might as well be a Fed.

Man, that’s a Reddit-pedantic “you forgot PEDMAS” -like response to someone worrying about getting their home raided and asking a simple question.

You’re not fucked. You’re a dick. And being one isn’t “vital” to anything.

The proper tactic for armored assailants is to aim for the groin.

I mean, one to the chest will at least slow them down, but yea, I can get on board with blasting some dicks off. lol

What’s the plan for having your phone at home?
