JasonV posted:Nikki Haley discovers that people in Finland not only have good health care, but they have twitter as well. Your average American lives 20 miles or so from the place where they were born and precious few Americans live or know anyone who lives outside of the country. If you told them that Finnish people grind the bones of people who can't afford healthcare to make their daily bread they would probably believe it unironically.

Wouldn't mandatory travel abroad be a wonderful thing? Like if we had a real state, whose purpose was to promote the general welfare. You'd get done with high school and spend a year or two circumnavigating the globe doing volunteer work and learning about how actual people live. Then go on to free college/trade school. Full gay space communism now.

Brilliant job on Bernie's part because conservatives have been misunderstanding Finland's healthcare issues and it's been in conservative news outlets lately so he essentially got her to reply with some half-remembered conservative hit piece that makes her look like an idiot.

pseudanonymous posted:Max Planck: "a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. The boomers are dying, friend. The average age of a boomer is around 65 years old, and with that comes a mortality rate of 0.5%-2% per year (depending on individual circumstances). If we take the midpoint of 1.25% and apply that to the ~75 million boomers, we get an estimate of a little under a million boomers dying every year. That number will continue to go up - in ten years' time the mortality rate will be triple what it is currently. So in 2020 there will be roughly 3 million fewer boomers than in 2016, and in 2024 there will be roughly 8 million fewer boomers than 2016. Their influence is rapidly waning.

Boomers on average are more conservative than subsequent generations, even when you account for the age differences. Of course there are lovely people in every generation, but the boomers are especially lovely (on average) and them dying will be a net gain for society.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:It is irrational. They literally can't comprehend how badly everyone under 40 got hosed. They’re very heavy on decorum because for some I guess that means a more elegant high class means of dealing with things. Elevating one’s self and being cool calm and collected while trying to solve disputes. The problem is the young can’t deal with them on that level and have to fight for some voice. Otherwise what they’ve done is enslave the younger generation and exploit them for their own gain like through college loans. They reaped the benefit of the Greatest Generation, went to the moon, then got doomsday cult and selfish as gently caress, sent the world to poo poo for future generations and got entitled in their older age refusing to progress. Or at least have vision and understand where the world is going.

Its just nothing matterisms, the last few surveys and data collection efforts in the past years or so has been showing that younger generations trend more left then millennials. Turns out school shootings and knowing your future is going to be at risk due to climate change are pretty big factors. Yes, kids still grow up conservative but its objectively less than before.

MrSargent posted:Since when is the goal of the military to do volunteer work and learn about other cultures? In the Navy, at least, every port we hit had multiple volunteer opportunities to help local communities. The thing is though the people that go to them are already people that skew left, at least in my experience. I think the other posters point though was many people in the military experience different cultures and see how other countries live. To say that all we have to do is send people overseas and that will fix the complaint of Americans not being cultured enough or too ignorant to give a poo poo is probably wrong though. Even in the full gay space communism scenario of sending everyone abroad youd still have a bunch of conservatives in the population. Joke answer to that quote is how else do we learn where to bomb and what insurgencies to arm?

Jealous Cow posted:https://twitter.com/EenaRuffini/status/1108855298679169024 This is why it's so important to disaggregate Jewish people worldwide in general, and Jewish Americans in particular, from AIPAC and the Israel lobby. At this point the main thrust behind the Zionist apartheid movement is from American Evangelicals. That's probably a "duh" statement for most people here, but still, it deserves to be underlined, imo.
