A lot of discourse here boils down to "leftists getting mad at normie libs for fighting fascism because they deeply need the solution to fascism to be 'the revolution' and the normie libs are ruining that"

1) A plain whopper sandwich at my local Burger King is like $7 now.
2) Computer hardware prices are through the roof.
3) Rent, which is already very high, continues to climb with no relief in sight.

Corporations are made up of people, though. The whole legal fiction of "corporations are people" exists to ensure that Constitutional rights of PEOPLE can't be violated simply because they were acting within a corporate context.
Corporations are not people.
Their money is not speech.
They should not be able to buy politicians.
End Citizens United.

Gotta love the little whataboutism at the end here. Was a good post until that last part.
One can criticize more than one thing at the same time, and doing so does not imply they are *equally* bad.

So, Trump's biggest benefactor, Elon Musk, is a eugenicist & white supremacist who supports Germany's AfD, which promotes neo-Nazi ideologies.

I'm pretty sure it's a roughly 50/50 split between men and women.

Seems like a problem a friendly male student could fix with their fist pretty quickly. And those glasses seem to be both expensive and trivial to break.
NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults.
In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming.

It's historical and predictable is what it is.
The evolution from "well the guy Luigi killed was the CEO of a notoriously bad health insurance company" to "anyone with the title of CEO, including at a liberal nonprofit, is homo sacer and can be killed without regret" is uhh
Uhhhhhhhhhh
Uhhhhhhhhhh
The origin of this exchange is someone telling me I should be killed and have my corpse mutilated. Another commenter thought that the corpse mutilation was excessive but that I should nevertheless be killed. A third commenter agreed.

If the AI water issue were real, it'd be easy to go to people's homes that were actually affected by the normal operational water draw of a data center. Instead, MPU always chooses:
1) Places polluted by construction
2) Protestors without data centers nearby
3) Pecan farmers

Putting aside his overdramatic commentary, is he broadly wrong? For anxiety and fear in particular, treatment is typically exposure to the thing so that you can rack up experiences with it that do not result in harm, reorienting your subconscious.

This treating of racism as like a taint that permanently scars an institution irredeemably is, I hope, what people are talking about dispensing with when they shit on Woke 1.0.

It is a moral failure to see a country slide into fascism and have no emotional reaction to that fact, to regard it is neutral background noise, to not really care. It indicates a broken character.
