I think the internet has made it possible for everyone to see that the corporate media has been lying to our faces for decades.

Oh ok…it’s important to call out the government and not the citizens when we’re talking about terrorist states? Ok, just like Israel.

I think the problem there is lead pipes and old infrastructure that hasn’t been replaced… half assed renovations which causes changes in pressure and acidity etc and cause the problems with the lead being released.

Yes… just looked it up… they switched sources of water which caused the old lead pipes to leach toxins and they didn’t use enough chlorine which allowed some bacteria to thrive and make people sick

I only have an instagram connected to two or three hundred close friends and family. But it’s only for like, you know, pictures of our morning stools and stuff.

No. Whether they believe otherwise or not.

ChatGPT, hello. This is the first time we have chat. What can I give my wife for our 18th wedding anniversary.

Hello kids, start every conversation with ai like this and you’ll be fine

Yea I do it a lot too, I guess I was asking what you mean maybe. Not sure. I get attacked from the center and the far left I suppose not including the right

I guess I care more about the far left and the center than I do about the right but I don’t see it like a football team maybe

That’s not me downvoting you at all by the way

I vote every election. Not sure what you’re mumbling about.

Blue no matter who got us where we are today. The democratic leadership is pathetic as fuck.

I no longer vote for neoliberals or folks who have ever received aipac money or money from the other Israeli lobbies.

Period.

Works for me.

Edit: Willing to change my stance if they come out publicly against money in politics and actually get it passed, locally or otherwise.

Antisemite!

Is this a history nerd channel or something

Are we really going to start comparing stuff to what Hitler did without including other ongoing and current events, including similar genocides?

What’s that movie about the Dalai Lama or whatever?

Is this a thing now? Let’s compare and contrast other current ongoing and longstanding geopolitical world events to this metric as well…

It’s difficult for us to grasp statistics. So we hear about every crime being committed under the sun in London, from murder to rape to robbery… statistically the boonie smaller towns and cities are more dangerous but it doesn’t “feel” like it.

Statistically, women are more likely to be assaulted by men they personally know, but they “feel” afraid of random strangers walking by. Probably because of movies and other media, and stories and anecdotes we’ve all heard.

Cool thanks

I wouldn’t want to “go back” to it. But we do know that the 90% tax on the wealthy is a viable plan to fund the social services and needs of the people. And we also know that it needs to happen.

Edit: I hope it’s clear I was not advocating for something or anything like a return to 1950’s values lol

Yes, of course there was systemic racism and women couldn’t even have personal checking accounts without approval from a male….

I’m just saying that unless taxes go up to 90% on folks making over a couple million dollars a year then we’ll never get there again.

The system was created and developed by rich folks to ensure that rich folks continued to accumulate more and more wealth. Economists seem to me to be just working backwards from that point without ever mentioning it.

We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.

Referring to the USA of course.

But Venezuela’s economy collapse was caused mainly by US foreign policy. It may have been exacerbated by Maduro’s or Chavez’s policy, but the US was the cause.

25 years ago the internet was still easy dial up and smart phones were coming out like you’d go to the library with your friends to check your email

MySpace lol

Ohhhh, that’s why I look Chinese in mine
