Sagebrush posted:it's dumb that people act like electric cars are somehow a bigger fire hazard than regular cars, which carry around a tank of gasoline under the rear seats and run it with little metal pipes all over the vehicle yeah but gasoline doesn't become violently combustible unless it's aerosolized unlike what the movies would have you believe, the plastics and vinyl in the car would burn more vigorously if they caught fire somehow whereas the batteries can and do explode and burn violently when damaged

i think it bears stating that millennials are woefully undereducated compared to previous generations, and it's only getting worse a portion of it can be chalked up to public school budgets being slashed by gen x childfrees/conservatives who don't understand why they should fund other people's kids, but it's mainly a pervasive attitude of incuriousness fueled by not needing to know things because of the internet basically the death of expertise is directly leading to the death of education and it's truly scary to see

fishmech posted:you are thinking of the generation after millenials, namaste nope, i'm definitely thinking of millennials, their kids are an entirely different kettle of fish millennials are the product of the ravaging of public education and the rise of the internet eradicating both modern education and journalism which makes them the perfect implement for gen x to wreck the government and society baby boomers handed gen x a economy rich with wealth and opportunity and they're busy hoarding it while shunting the blame onto boomers for the failures gen x engineered to be fair, gen x is and remains the real problem, but millennials are still dangerously uneducated which doesn't bode will for the generations following

most everyone in yospos is gen x or millennial and get super defensive if you don't toe the line about "boomers wrecking everything" that talking point falls apart pretty quickly when you figure out that the most backwards conservatives in congress, at both the state and federal level, are solidly gen x with a whole crop of millennials waiting in the wings to out-wingnut them

they'll rehire him because they only fired him for pr reasons not because they think he did anything wrong, if anything they'll rehire him as a consultant on how to better conceal their white supremacy it's also pretty tremendously sexist to suggest his girlfriend is staying with him because she's somehow fooled or otherwise coerced by him, give her some credit, she's probably smart enough to know a gravy train when she sees one

well, again we can't assume that she might have the savvy to want to wring him for all the alt-right cash coming his way before dumping him because that would make her basically a sex worker i suppose her actual reasons are inscrutable but we can definitively say that they are wrong and we are right and she should know better (note: i am not arguing this, the previous was ironic)

who said i supported bernie? i just acknowledge that hilary is a bloodthirsty tool of capitalism and colluded with the dnc to secure the nomination and so it was always hilary who was going to lose to trump, bernie doesn't enter the equation i know it's a favorite tactic of hilary deadenders to focus on bernie but he always was a distraction

see? when hilary's honor is impugned even in the slightest the hilary deadender desperately tries to shift the conversation literally the only person who brought up someone other than hilary was fishmech because the evidence of her collusion and her campaign's incompetence are plain to see the outcome would have been the same if the nation caught chaffee fever or something

once again fishmech is right for the wrong reasons, the primary was decided for hilary before there was another candidate (doesn't matter who) that gained some momentum and their preexisting agreements ensured her nomination bernie didn't lose to trump, hilary lost to trump and will lose to trump again in 2020, don't lose sight of that fact though to be fair, hilary would have lost to whoever the republican nominee turned out to be, it just happened to be the raw unfettered id of the right wing, rather than hilary's more nuanced ego

fishmech posted:so good at losing elections, yet somehow all her senate opponents lost to her, and bernie lost to her, and trump lost to her outside of the known undemocratic electoral college. hmmmm yeah i imagine that her getting losing to obama by the superdelegates was what led to her deal with the dnc for 2016 so that wouldn't happen again still batting .000 when it comes to presidential elections, though and on track to extend that record in 2020 ate all the Oreos posted:my favorite part of this whole 3 year long election that is still happening and will never end has been watching fishmech whip back and forth between complaining that people aren't left enough and defending hillary clinton, the most left person it's the fate of the modern liberal to pay lip service to progressive policy but to be ardently in favor of candidates that would be considered staunchly conservative by any objective measure

nope, the kkk dwindled as their largely "greatest generation"/silent generation base died off they were virtually gone during the height of boomer politics in the 80s and 90s but lo and behold are on the upswing with gen x coming into power and rising as millennials join their ranks basically any time you are inclined to blame boomers for something, you are actually thinking of gen x because gen x is roughly in the same age bracket as you think boomers are

fishmech posted:in the 80s the boomers were still largely in the pre-voting ages under 35. hope this helps. only the absolutely youngest that still qualify as baby boomers, the vast majority were 40+ through that period which means they had the largest share of the vote they were in power throughout some of the most prosperous economic times since the end of wwii and saw that prosperity dwindle and shatter when gen x came into power and oversaw the financial crisis of the mid 00s and are directly responsible for the rise of ultra-conservative politics we see today the reason this isn't obvious to yosposters is that they are, by and large, gen x or millennials and are in denial

no, they were of college age at the time or skewing slightly later since a lot of those generations didn't go to college until later in life on the gi bill after korea/vietnam
