A lot of people have left-leaning economic views ( tax the rich ) but there's basically no political or media representation of those views. ( because the rich run the media and government )

Bill Burr is great and I don't think I've ever met a guy who didn't like him. Good politics too, and says them like a normal fucking person who can make a case without being annoying.

The really funny thing here is that Elon's Twitter has openly complied with censorship orders from Hungary already. The free speech stuff is fake. Twitter does overt political censorship on request.

It's honestly a travesty what's happened to Reddit. If I want to search for a forum topic or something where random people give their honest opinions, Reddit was about the only place left on the internet and now that's gone too.

Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it's straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he's chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.

Bernie is the left's most effective advocate in the US and we need more of him.

Absolutely. The right say they're pro-freedom but they'll strip you of the right to vote if you smoke weed.

And you'll have to wait 10 hours to vote on a workday because they've limited voting locations to one every million people - like they already do in Georgia.

They can move out of the country but they cannot move out of the world. An international wealth tax CAN be done, the only obstacle is mere political will.

And it must be said, the ability for the rich to take their assets and leave has been greatly over-stated, since much of it is in the form of land.

Extreme wealth must be taxxed, or we will all live in desperate poverty.

I'm not surprised. Carl Sagan saw this coming in 1995

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

What a fucking abomination. Everyone who passed this law needs to be locked up.

I would have become a socialist way sooner if Tankies weren't so prominent. 'USSR good' is not a great selling point.

Not only is the ruling wrong - it is the very thing it claims to be opposing. It is itself an act of terrorism, carried out with the intention of inspiring fear in the British public to further a political agenda.

In every way, the British government is replicating the actions it accuses PA of - except that the scale of harm to British society and the terror inspired is magnitudes greater, and performed in service of the opposite political goal.

This is a terror attack by the government against the British people.

The British people's opinion and will are the thing from which the goverment gains it's only source of legitimacy - and they do not line up with the government on this issue.

But evidently the government believes in a different model of legitimacy: they believe that legitimacy is derived from the mere fact that they hold power. In the mind of the government and it's supporters, the difference between a terrorist organisation and a legitimate government is just power and only power. To them, right and wrong has absolutely nothing to do with it. They think that they are winning, and that they are going to get away with it. Nothing else matters.

Americans are misinformed because the media has been destroyed by financial incentives and the capital class.

I honestly think conservative media just tries to start as much shit as possible so they have something to talk about.

At this point they probably start out by picking some slightly complex idea that's objectively correct and then work backwards to find a way to disagree with it.

nice job elon

The arrest warrant isn't for genocide. It isn't mentioned at all. It's about mass killing and using starvation as a weapon of war. Joe and his team obviously knew that before issuing the statement, so this must be intentional misrepresentation. So if anyone is under the impression that the US is just a neutral and unbiased third party; here's a clear cut example of them lying to support the Netanyahu government.

The wealth of the rich is still growing and it will continue to grow automatically until the middle class ceases to exist. If we do not take the assets back, it will become impossible for normal working people to ever buy a house, or have any economic power over their own lives at all - nevermind the political control or the media manipulation.

Extreme wealth concentration is THE biggest issue facing society. Mamdani is absolutely right.

It's very funny that eugenicists always look inbred and disgusting

They solve tailpipe emissions AND all the emissions associated with mining, refining and transporting the fuel - which is enormous and usually left out of the calculations. Public transportation / walkable infrastructure is god-tier but lots of people live away from dense neighbourhoods. Ev's are not a golden bullet solution to climate change but they're pretty good and neither is anything else. It makes sense to attack the issue from as many angles as possible instead of getting all tunnel-vision about one particular solution.
