if you had all your material needs satisfied forever - why would you willingly subject yourself to criticism or subject yourself to a self-applied philosophical schema? i would absolutely drop out and just travel or get obsessed with some really niche expensive poo poo building solar powered planes or something, which probably says more about myself being a lovely person. materially, though, it will always be that upper classes as a whole will never intentionally work against their own self-interest. it has always been like this, not a single instance in history of it not being the case. individuals who are part of the ruling class and break out of ruling class ideology only stand out because of how rare they are

make rap videos calling him out. like kemalist rap videos attacking erdogan and about how these raps will "make him gone." except instead of kemalism you're doing gay left-nationalism against pete's version of bourgeois gay politics (influenced by the gay gulf states)

hey, remember when a lot of LGBT groups closed up shop and immediately vanished forever after Obergefell?

i was involved in a triad for a few months this with my partner and some guy we started seeing and though he was physically attractive something about his personality seemed “off”

eventually i learned that he loved buttigeg and also will gush about the clintons at any given moment and some of his favorite friends include like some guy who did Hillary’s hair once and that’s the first thing he brought up when introducing me

you’re twenty four years old, a student, and work as a server how are you like this. i know my friend group and being trans probably radicalized me a bit but :psyduck:

I mostly see mayo 20pete20 as nothing more than someone my mom will tell me she’s supporting so her queer kid will stop ignoring her because how much of an rear end in a top hat she’s been

I have a friend who is otherwise, relatively speaking, very smart and informed on current events. She also wants to hug and kiss mayor pete to an extreme degree.

I shared the current affairs expose to her, I try to explain why he's actually a status quo candidate, how it's extremely scary he thought going to McKinsey was a "sound" career choice, but she won't read or make time for any of it. all her SM posts are "haha look mayor pete is playing the piano at a diner lol" and I'm like but what about his policies tho.

chill out, he's done great things for south bend, just read his autobiography. I'm like, here's a list of grievances put together from people who actually live in south bend. She does the equivalent of putting her fingers in her ears and going la la la.

I really can't understate how smart she actually is, she's a former bernie supporter, but sees him as yesterday's candidate. How does one reach a voter like this? Because from what I can tell, she's pretty emblematic of the former bernie supporter: disillusioned with life before 2016, vocally "present" in today's political rhetoric, but not actually willing to go deeper in critically thinking about the implications behind supporting candidates like buttigieg or harris.

remember when Pete became mayor, and fired South Bend's first black police chief for catching police officers saying racist things on an accidentally-wiretapped line?

turns out the racist things those officers were saying involved a conspiracy to get Pete's donors to make him remove the black police chief

BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

quote:

Pete Buttigieg’s Work At McKinsey Is A Secret
Buttigieg’s campaign says it has reached out to the company about the possibility of being released from a confidentiality agreement, but the mayor has so far stayed quiet.

quote:

McKinsey has become known for working with authoritarian regimes and taking on other ethically complicated projects. A New York Times report last year focused on its work for governments or state-owned companies in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. A recent lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company that makes OxyContin raised questions about the firm’s role in perpetuating the opioid crisis.

quote:

Buttigieg’s work “is largely covered by a non-disclosure agreement,” Meagher said Friday.
