I'm the neoliberal genie and I will take your wishes for a UBI and a job guarantee and merge them into a workfare system where people are forced to work for amazon mechanical turk etc and get a check for the government for $15/hr. Not working will cut off your benefits and/or be criminalized as this workfare system will be used to replace all forms of cash welfare currently. Have a nice day.

Ghost Leviathan posted:tl;dr: human extinction, also extinction of ants and bees and probably all life By hunger they definitely meant the very drive to eat anything at all, and by war they definitely meant the human capacity to resist difficult situations. What other reading could there be of that sentence? You nerd. Or are you doing a satire? Is this about how neoliberals assume any motivation for working short of self-preservation/precarity will cause society to collapse?

I'm pretty sure the joke is that after Atom cleanses our souls with His passing we will be free from the base desires imposed upon us by our dull meat bodies and free to glorify Him as part of His towering cloud of holiness.

Between last week and this week, Democrats have dumped $6 million into Bob Menendez's campaign. I sure am glad the party made the decision to back him hard in the primary, as if there isn't another Democrat in New Jersey who possibly could have been a candidate.

The entire political and pundit classes are like the inbred nobility of history. They are beyond stupid and incompetent but still have way more influence, money, and power than any normal person could even dream of. Imagine having so little knowledge of American history you pump out this turd: https://twitter.com/BenHowe/status/1055117045254234112?s=19 And then Chuck Todd, a man who ostensibly is supposed to have insight into American politics retweets it. Both sides are good people have rotted these idiots brains so thoroughly I bet they can't even pick a side for the Civil War or the Civil Rights Era to root for. Watching Todd get his rear end kicked by S.E Cupp during the Political Pundit edition of Jeopardy (which was basically Celebrity Jeopardy level questions) was pretty telling.

They really are pulling out all the stops to steal the election in Georgia. From ignoring voter registration applications to “losing” absentee ballots to just shutting down the polling location to lying about the requirements to vote. If they’re a way to suppress the vote they’re doing it.

If they’re a way to suppress the vote they’re doing it. LBJ won his senate election in 1948 when the authorities in texas "found" a box of uncounted ballots that just so happened to push him over the edge. American elections are closer to latin america's rigged contests than they are to elections in any country with fair ones.
