isn't this just a tautology?

every civilization will look at the past and say, "that was an unjust period." they will always tend to see their current moment as being more just than moments past, thus you can assume that those in the future will took at our present as less just than theirs.

that doesnt mean anything, though. that's just how people prefer to see themselves.

I think its worse than that even. We live in a cold and uncaring universe whos default state is that the strong will survive. Lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape - all of these things can be and often are rewarded not just in human society but throughout all life. The universe gave us rabbits and it gave us wolves. They dont exist in 'harmony', the rabbit exists to be eaten alive and the wolf starves to death when it becomes too gluttonous. Its a poo poo deal for all involved.

'The arc of then universe bends toward justice' is something said when starvation is far enough away in the past and rabbits are still plentiful. Not only is it uncertain that the trend will continue, it most certainly will not. Through some fluke we have been given the brains to recognize injustice, but we are fighting against the very nature of the universe itself. All of the progress we have made is just a bubble in a sea of misery and every victory won requires more energy and will to maintain.

Back in ye olden days priests gutted animals and decided how good things were going based on livers and spleens and such. Now, we have the stock market, and we know if things are good if number is bigger or smaller since the stock market is the perfectly rational and accurate measure of the invisible hand of the market.

The stock market number is green, therefore life is not only good but getting better. The peasants just need to figure out enough to put on cable news to see learned corporate employed men and women of the economy to know how good they have it instead of needing to travel to a state sponsored church to hear it from some bloody handed fuzzy headed superstitious bag of wind.

https://www.sfgate.com/national-politics/article/Democrats-polling-reveals-COVID-warning-16927032.php

quote:

The poll found that that 57% of voters in competitive congressional districts agree with the statement, "Democrats in Congress have taken things too far in their pandemic response," and 66% of self-defined "swing" voters in competitive districts agree with that statement. White and Hispanic voters in competitive districts were equally as likely to agree (59%), while Black voters (42%) and Asian voters (46%) disagreed with the statement. The poll also did not define what "taken things too far" means.

The DCCC found that critiques of COVID-19 restrictions were slightly less potent than other issues. In swing districts, 64% of voters agreed with the statement that "Democrats in Congress support defunding the police and taking more cops off of the street." The internal poll found that 80% of self-defined swing voters in competitive districts agreed with the same statement. Politico previously reported on the DCCC warning about the effectiveness of what they refer to as conservative "culture war attacks."

Sixty-two percent of voters in contested districts agreed with the statement, "Democrats in Congress have created a border crisis that allows illegal immigrants to enter the country without repercussions and grants them tax-payer funded benefits once here." Seventy-eight percent of swing voters in those districts agreed.

Sixty-one percent of swing district voters agreed with the statements, "Democrats in Congress are spending money out of control," and, "Democrats are teaching kids as young as five Critical Race Theory, which teaches that America is a racist country and that white people are racist." And 59% agreed with the statement, "Democrats are too focused on pursuing an agenda that divides us and judging those who don't see things their way."

The DCCC presentation also contained a slide showing that the top two concerns of voters in competitive districts are inflation and health care, with the COVID-19 pandemic coming in third. Medicare/social security and climate change rounded out the top five. At the bottom of the list were voting rights, taxes and racial justice/equality.

In 2022 destruction is coming for the democrats

i mean the media has had just the worst coverage of covid so i’m not surprised but this specifically is really a result of just how good the right-wing marketing machine is

The poll doesn't define "gone too far" so the results are pretty much worthless. A lot of responders could just be expressing their disapproval for any reason.

you only get blamed for their losses / ignored when they win, if you consistently vote for them
