Sometimes my brain chooses to remember that Obama read a bunch of Marx and poo poo in college, but like exclusively as a performative endeavor at cafes because he was trying to get cute beatnik chicks to go weird on his hog, and none of the useful lessons of Marxism sunk in because he was just looking at words while fantasizing about drilling a proto-goth chick on a studio apartment floor mattress. I will remember this and become very calm, like I've gotten a lobotomy.

Obamna posted:Looking back, it’s embarrassing to recognize the degree to which my intellectual curiosity those first two years of college paralleled the interests of various women I was attempting to get to know: Marx and Marcuse so I had something to say to the long-legged socialist who lived in my dorm; Fanon and Gwendolyn Brooks for the smooth-skinned sociology major who never gave me a second look; Foucault and Woolf for the ethereal bisexual who wore mostly black. As a strategy for picking up girls, my pseudo-intellectualism proved mostly worthless; I found myself in a series of affectionate but chaste friendships.

Frosted Flake posted:I'm always surprised when I run into people that are making $250k a year for very fake sounding jobs. Does Grey Goose need a something or other marketing team lead for the Canadian Under 30 demographic? I don't know, but someone in their Toronto office has that job, and/or someone in a marketing firm has that account. I know that lady. She had to start covering more than one brand. Rough.

Trump is going to win in such a landslide. The disconnect between the fake economic outlook and reality is making my head spin. Trump will literally have to be in a jail cell to have any chance of losing.

I’ve never seen anything like it or probably I was too stupid to see it in the Obama years. Just the complete and utter disregard for reality. Everyone is in total economic precarity. There are no jobs open. The cost of food and housing has tripled or quadrupled and wages have topped out a whopping $15 per hour. It’s insane how desperate things are compared to ten or even five years ago. No graduates are getting jobs and the STEM lie has snapped in half. And B is turning the loans back on!!!!

At this point I’m convinced that we would be better off if T was in office because at least zoomers would go on a student loan strike. They won’t do that for uncle Joe and epic Kamala bae because that would be a win for the chuds. Meanwhilst Every other insane trump policy continues apace with zero criticism

Yes, they only focus on how lovely everything is when they can use it as a cudgel against Republicans. The photo of the ICE bus with child seats they were parading around during the Trump administration was taken back in 2014.

Shear Modulus posted:it sounds like the workers got what they wanted (to keep their health insurance and pensions) without having to strike. it also doesn't sound like this will put off a strike forever unless the pension company just decides to continue providing health insurance and pensions for free forever. It's a Taft-Hartley plan, so there is no pension company. There is a union trust. The trust will be eating reserves and relying on other Central States employers making contributions over this period to keep the health plans going. Not great or sustainable, IMO

MuadDib Atreides posted:Was it like this under Obama? one thing to note was the declining material conditions under Obama were basically papered over by the money printer and new web 2.0 gold rush and gig fart app. unemployment was largely a lie because all the people that were unemployed were sucked into the "gig economy" garbage that was subsidized by billions of free debt. Things are now much worse as all the money sloshing around is coming home to roost, america has lost even more industrial base, and the imperial core is starting to eat itself for to keep the profits going in the face of declining rate of profit. the america hegemonic control over the imperial periphery is waning further exasperating the self-cannibalism. and lastly (but just as important) the planet is in much much worse shape than it was in 2010: Increasingly extreme weather, loss of top soil, depleting aquifers, declining supplies of cheap energy, and increasing amounts of widespread pollution everywhere is a serious issue ontop of the declining material conditions The supply of cheap energy is the modern equivalent of the Divine Right of Kings to rule, and if cheap energy goes, so does the system.
