To be fair, doesn’t your argument presuppose that all psychs are religiously following every recommended guideline to the letter? That seems like a stretch.

Good luck trying to explain to working-class people that the struggle they’re feeling is only because they don’t understand economics well enough.

So the US has never had any issue with guerilla warfare when the adversaries had mostly small arms? Cool it with the American exceptionalism.

Oh, this guy’s political prospects are completely GONE now B)

When you figure out a means of political activity that doesn’t involve refining the capitalist regime as it stands, let me know. Until then, I won’t be voting for candidates who help slaughter innocent people around the world.

If it’s so black and white, then why are there numerous international councils, courts, and meetings where accusations of genocide are fiercely debated?

Aren’t you going home each night to sit with your thumb up your butt? Plenty of people are saying it, believe me.

What you’re doing here is subtly shifting the burden of phone addiction from software companies and phone manufacturers back onto end users.

You’re glossing right over the fact that these teams have the very best software engineers, mechanical engineers, marketers, ad people, psychologists, and doctors for the purpose of making these endlessly scrolling apps as addictive and hard to avoid as possible.

I read your comment and think about the people who say “why are you depressed? Just go lift some weights. It all comes down to you”

Who let the middle manager into the thread?

Keir Starmer?

Everything I read about this dude characterizes him as abandoning left wing policy in favor of center, center-right policy.

4th paragraph of his wikipedia page

His leadership has been characterised by movement towards the political centre and abandonment of the left-wing platform of his leadership campaign, as well as by opposition to some of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues such as Partygate

I just think it’s strange for you to insinuate that the position of the left is that of Israel’s.

Who are these voices on the “left” that you say are supporting Israel?

Mostly agree except for the small penis bashing. We need to end small-dick hatred.

Man… I wish the world wasn’t burning.

Very impressive making a take that in no way addresses the status quo, which is, and has been, extremely violent with a massive power imbalance.

Because American and western politics are obsessed with explaining the world in terms of good vs bad instead of material conditions. Liberalism has rotted the brains of the western populace such that all events are viewed through the lens of marvel movies. Le epic wholesome Israel Captain America vs evil Thanos Hamas.

I disagree. Conservatives are not the cause of climate change; capitalism is.

Both liberals and conservatives are bought and paid for by special interests.

Hoping for our liberal demagogues to solve these issues by sticking to “civil”, “non-violent”, or “state-approved” methods will do nothing but refine the capitalist system as it currently operates.

The only way forward is to call out climate change for what it is: violence imposed upon working-class people. The time for civility has passed - it only plays into the hands of the ruling class as they spend decade after decade filling the atmosphere with pollution. The liberals and democrats aren’t going to save us. Only we can.

One time in fifth grade, we were on a field trip to the state capitol. They loaded the whole class in a bus, and naturally all of us decided to bring our DSs for the few hours on the road.

My best friend Drew wrote “crap” in pictochat and he was losing his shit over how hilarious that was. Then he got his DS taken away when some kid ratted on him.

Godspeed, Drew.

End small-dick hate.
