Too many commenters here do not understand anything about how any of it works, especially how first past the post voting works. Progressives do not seem to understand that the system has not rejected them, but the voters have.

It is mostly relentless propaganda for the oligarchs that has captured the country. That’s the problem, and it is not fixed by any of the suggestions here.

No, he’s accusing them of being what he is, a time-honored tactic that Trump also utilizes.

Personal dignity?

I have become aggressively more anti-capitalist as I’ve grown older. At 56, with a nice professional career mostly behind me, I am vigorously ANTIFA EAT THE RICH ACAB.

Reading this on Boost for Lemmy, which I’m glad exists, since Boost was my Reddit app of choice.

People who tell you to do scrum correctly are themselves not doing scrum correctly.

Whatever the authors leanings are, they make a good point. Lemmy has followed Karl Popper’s maxim “Tolerant societies must be intolerant of intolerance.” It’s just that simple.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

People responding to the meme that needing cars isn’t evil, and is required for many areas, are missing the point of the meme.

The meme is complaining about areas we built that can exist as they are only if everyone owns a car. If we weren’t so consumerist, and if white people could better tolerate living near black people, we wouldn’t have so much of the population living in suburban areas where cars are so necessary. A lot more people would live in circumstances where public transport is more viable for them.

And, of course, some shade thrown at the car buyers who buy comsumptively-extreme cars to do piddling stuff in. The number of basic sedans that can be had with 200+hp engines, or F150 pickups with massive gas-guzzling engines, that only get used for surface road driving one or two people around, is pretty ridiculous.

The main wrong thing about the meme is that it’s assuming our situation was created specifically so that evil corporations could sell cars and gas… no, they’re profiting from, and exacerbating, the problem of white flight from cities. Most of the country’s problems come in large part from racism first, and then profiteering on top of that.
