It turns out the nut we wanted to crack was the Higgs boson.

They’re just trying to appeal to their base.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the name of the spectrum they’re all on. Radio waves and visible light are different parts of that spectrum, along with microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma waves. You cannot interchangeablly use different parts of the spectrum to communicate. Radio waves have information encoded into the amplitude of the waves, light is used to communicate by turning it on and off very fast. The mechanism that trasnmits information is funamenally different.

You really doubled down on that pun. There should be a law about that.

In other words: they’ll lie to you, so lie to them.

Here’s another good essay about banning abortion, though this is aboutthe ban in Ireland.

When leftists say abolish the police, liberals side with the police.

When leftists say abolish borders, liberals side with border enforcement.

When leftists seek to dismantle fascist systems of oppression, liberals side with the fascists.

Leftists calling out the hypocrisy of liberals is not infighting, it is an open attack against an enemy that cosplasys as left while actively aiding and abetting fascist ideolgies with “both sides have valid points” bullshit.

Liberals want to go back to Obama’s America, but refuae to reconcile with the fact that Obama’s America still dropped bombs on schools and used violent force to deport immigrants and attack marginalized communities.

Liberals only want business as usual, with the violence kept out of their line of sight. Leftists are actively seeking to dismantle systems of oppression, and replace them with systems that take action to reduce harm. They are not the same.

America is the land of individuals, and decades of propaganda have cemented that, unfortunately.

Sheesh, how many workers do you have to lay off before one with nothing to lose gets let go?

Yeah, if only there were an example of insuring and licensing for some other kind of common deadly consumer product.

As a radical polyamarous leftist, yes, send all your witchy women to me.

Compare my life to yours, and kill yourself.

Shower beer vs. Shower beef

Hey, at least they’re not blaming immigrants for this.

Payday loans already do this.

Came here to say this. It holds up really well and remains relevant.

The second thing is actually pretty easy to answer. The same people from the first part of your answer have also been using their outsized power and influence to erode the power and influence of unions over time. Many actions taken by European unions would be considered illegal in America and met with violent state oppression. While Europe has maintained many of their labor rights from the turn of the 20th century, America’s labor rights have been rolled back to almost before the new deal. Most unions barely have the right to strike, and even when they can that power is exceptionally limited. Basically any effective labor action in the US would require people to accept that they are breaking the law, and will likely die, sustain life altering injury, or go to jail for it. Since most Americans that would benefit from strong unions are living in oppressive poverty to begin with they either see the risks of illegal labor action as too large, or have been propagandized against it.

People rarely distinguish between the sentiment of a demographic versus the sentiment of the individuals that make up that demographic. Hence, stereotypes.

“Americans” are not a monolith. There’s almost 400 million people in this country. Idk how each individual is doing, but most of the people I know are too busy trying to keep their heads financially above water to care. The actual American people have very little say over what happens in this country, and most are just as trapped in the horror as the rest of the world.

Does a country without public transit, universal healthcare, or any social safety nets sound like a country where the average person is in control to you?

You squeeze the lime in the coconut.
