i’m starting to lose my fucking mind and grainy old pictures of bad apartments are taking on the qualities of fine wines. look at this fucking bathroom photo and how every object in the shot is somehow half-cropped out of the frame it’s like an anti-renaissance painting and you would have to consciously try to take a photo that communicated any less information about the bathroom of this apartment
Nope nope nope. It’s way too damn early for this. This is what y’all did with Hillary and now we have nazis. Stop. Please.
When precisely is the right time to point out Joe Biden’s odious record? When can we say that we don’t want him in a position of power because of what he does when he’s in a position of power? When, o pray tell, is that allowed? When do we hold politicians accountable?
Yes, hold him accountable but also vote for him or whichever Democrat wins the nomination in 2020.
The nomination hasn’t happened yet - the primaries haven’t even started - and yet you’re attempting to preemptively shut down any and all criticism of joe biden, which tells me that you don’t actually care about holding him or any democrat accountable for the policy decisions they make.
Regardless, I’m not a liberal and I’m not a democrat, and I owe the party nothing. I will not vote for Joe Biden. His record in power speaks for itself, and not in a good way.
lets hold the person to scrutiny after they have power and influence
Let’s hold former Vice President, 40 year Senate veteran, and presumptive 2020 presidential front runner Joe Biden accountable after they have power and influence. Like, don’t want to jump the gun on that.
y’all still out here thinking some old white dude is the solution to our problems? man, bye.
Russians already starting with the election shenanigans and the candidates ain’t even announced 😫
Russians meddling in elections by… *searches notes* telling voters what their politicians actually did, like, factually
We know his record. No one is saying facts aren’t facts.
The point is this MFer hasn’t even announced and y’all (Russian) trolls are already starting the bullshit. Give it a fucking break.
P.S Eat a dick if you think I’m gonna be pursuaded on who I vote for POTUS by a fucking meme.
Imagine walking around being this much of a gigantic dunce. Just a real dullard. A rube, a sap, a giant oaf right and true.
it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.
Any socialism worth it’s name critiques capitalism because of the limitations it places on freedom, democracy, and progress. Far-right criticisms of capitalism critique it because it disrupts tradition, which is actually one of its most appealing features. Tucker Carlson’s not your ally, and never will be.
on the one hand there are many aspects of academia that should be criticized but on the other hand i’m concerned about the rise of anti-intellectualism as a tool of fascism
Hey yo what the fuck does this say in English? Because if you can’t explain in layman’s terms you’re not doing a good job of getting your point across to everyone.
1. we are right to criticize the many problems in higher education
2. fascists manipulate people into hating anyone involved in higher education for supposedly looking down on them and being worthless to the “real world.” as a result, funding for education is cut, especially for the arts, no one listens to historians who point out that history is repeating itself or speak out against the regime, freedom of speech is lost in favor of the party line, and/or climate change kills us all since no one listens to scientists.
3. therefore, when we criticize higher education, we should be careful not to contribute to fascist tropes that claim that having knowledge is bad/smug/out of touch/useless to society.
Let me try:
1. Universities and colleges with long histories often keep using the power structures they began with: favoring the rich and ruling classes, while society changes around them (That’s how we get phrases like “The Ivory Tower”).
2. It’s good to question this, and to finally get these universities and colleges to be more open to students from less privileged classes (economic, racial, gender, orientation, disability, etc.).
3. But instead of criticizing the power structures, fascists demonize learning and thinking, and say that people who try to learn too much (or learn things “above their station”) can’t be trusted, and are “enemies of the state.”
4. When this happens, people become afraid to question the government or government-appointed “experts,” and tyrants move in and start doing whatever they want (making it even better for the rich and ruling classes, and worse for everyone else).
The original post made perfect sense and didn’t use any amount of complicated vocab (like this is literally barely a high school level of vocabulary) And y'all need to stop confusing a lack of basic reading comprehension and an inability to use Google with something being written in unreadable academic jargon.
“Cops are bad” “hey what the fuck does this say in English?”
How does your dumbass know what the phrase “layman’s terms” means but “academia ” And “anti-intellectualism” are too much?
