Just about all of this is stuff conservatives have talked about wanting to implement for decades.
They’ve been open and public about it. And some of us never wanted to compromise with it, let alone election cycle after election cycle.
They at least demonstrate they know there’s only a threat against them from the left.
Clean Wehrmacht mythos was critical to get West Germany fully into NATO by 1955.
Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
For clarity, if we’re switching to Biden: he isn’t the nominee yet, which has been an issue. There is a whole primary process and a convention that makes the nomination. People are trying to participate in that process for representation.
He is the presumptive nominee as the incumbent, but the public is increasingly aware he is likely a losing nominee and therefore by default: a threat. The presumption is then of concern.
Now there’s further issue here on whether his policies, versus his personal capabilities, are a liability for the party as a whole. I think they are an overall liability, but I think a larger pool of people just want a different candidate even if it means the status quo policywise.
You have a legit point about the labor movement, though much of that has been in spite of the involvement of a political party or executive action. We could have had a discussion there about how much help or harm the party has done and where it could have been better. You know, to plan for the future.
But then you for no reason got all worked up:
But don’t go starving yourself to death because no one deigned to serve you fillet mignon. You seriously want to throw that away and put an actual fascist in power, for the sake of some imagined world where the fairy Godmother turns up to give you your glorious socialist utopia without you having to do any work for it?
Shit why even act like you’re sorry? There hasn’t had to have been the virtiolic resistance for multiple decades to addressing the crisises of our time, but case in fucking point what prejudiced resistance there is to basic shit like housing, healthcare, and most relevantly: women’s rights.
Acting like acknowledging failures is imagining a fairy godmother for some manufactured bullshit Eesh.
So we’re talking big picture across history and the entire species, and not within the scope of meaningful political power of the eminent global hegemon.
But the question is about a better future. Going back in time for context ignores that. There have definitely been pathways to better futures that were missed, but that appears to be disagreeable.
This is the better future?
Yeah that fashion is important for making bad red man look neat while they animation cancel through a wall and kill you.
They really did think people were happy with how things had been going the last eight years.
The Obama-Trump voter clearly remains beyond the comprehension of a lot of people.
They’re making any argument that avoids addressing the intent and involvement of a 40 year old man with a high school girl. There isn’t anything to salvage from the topic.
There was a whole standaone mod, Falskaar I think, was made by some guy whose parents bank rolled him, including paying a salary, to make the mod, hire voice actors etc. There was all this hype around what is possible when you’re… infinitely bank rolled by wealthy parents.
Derelicte.
Dark Souls. It is my favorite for story, lore, atmosphere, and, well “vibes”.
But FromSoft has learned from every release and it shows. Every new entry has something better than what came before it in some way.
I got a decent raise. Multiple required insurances I have immediately inflated.
looks at graph
Real wages are still below inflation. Nominal wage growth is what is above inflation.
Which means people are getting more money but it is worth less.
This means economic growth is down, and therefore the overall economy is demonstrably not in good shape.
*Edit To add from the article:
Nominal wage growth is the year-over-year growth in wages, not adjusted for inflation.
So… this doesn’t mean a whole lot then.
Yes but close proximity to 6, which you can’t turn away from.
