Survivorship bias

The financial industry is heavily regulated by the US Gov’t

Lol

Not just a time invesent – if you’re biking 18 miles you’re going to need a shower where you’re going, or you’re going to need a job where you can show up drenched in sweat.

And that’s not factoring in rain or snow or having to transport large objects or people.

The response here to “people must be financially illiterate if they can’t live without income for months!” is no, they aren’t illiterate, they live in an economy designed to keep a ton of people in precarity.

Everyone understands it’s nice to have some money set aside for rainy days. It’s such a simple lesson that calling it “financial literacy” is almost condescending. The problem isn’t that people haven’t heard of saving, it’s that decent-paying jobs aren’t common, basic costs like housing and healthcare are rising rapidly, and even if you do everything right there are a thousand ways to get a fat bill dropped on your lap that takes you back to square one.

Just go through and count the usage of kkkanadians.

The horror!

What is it you think vapes emit?

The fact that ukrainians are still fighting to this day shows they want to be independent.

This is a post about conscription, where people who do not want to fight are forced to

It doesn’t matter who did what before

this didn’t start on February 22, 2022, but in 2014

History starts and stops exactly when it best suits my argument

“All my takes are so perfect no one but a troll could disagree with me”

Go “do your own research” then lmao

You reject the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans, then you want to pull debatelord shit about the history of climate science forecasts. Fuck off.

claims climate change isn’t caused by humans

links to article about climate change being caused by humans

I’m owned

You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.

It’s an illusion your mind produced.

Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about

Changes to climate are going to happen naturally

We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.

“You can’t yet see the train you know is barreling down the tracks towards you… I think you have better things to think ans worry about”

99% of the time “you’re a bot” is backed by zero evidence besides someone disagreeing with you; it’s redditor derailment bullshit

The 1% of the time there’s any evidence at all, it’s never removed

The leftist frustration with liberals comes from statements like this:

maintain stability instead of shedding blood

You cannot maintain the stability of capitalism without shedding blood. There is no option where no one gets hurt; violence is baked in to the status quo. How best to reduce the amount of violence in society is another question, but the false dichotomy of stability vs. violence is the root of the disconnect here.

I think you are vastly underestimating the horrors of most pre-revolutionary societies, and probably also overestimating what you describe as oppression in post-revoltionary governments.

On the first point, here’s an excerpt from a JFK speech where he describes pre-revolution Cuba:

The third, and perhaps most disastrous of our failures, was the decision to give stature and support to one of the most bloody and repressive dictatorships in the long history of Latin American repression. Fulgencio Batista murdered 20,000 Cubans in seven years - a greater proportion of the Cuban population than the proportion of Americans who died in both World Wars, and he turned Democratic Cuba into a complete police state - destroying every individual liberty.

And JFK was no friend of Castro; he greenlit the Bay of Pigs invasion! Revolutions are born from the most brutal forms of exploitation and violence. Not even the wildest anticommunist propaganda about post-revolution Cuba comes close to the reality of what the revolution replaced.

I align with the political right on some issues, and the left with others.

What are some examples of these issues?

shout down opposition

This is a text forum, you can post or comment as much as you like. People chiming in with similar opinions =/= “shouting down opposition.”
