After the unhinged reaction to a pilot spouting off a right wing meme the other day, it’s difficult to see which Americans, if any, don’t want to be some kind of cop.

"Im uncomfortable that this pilot just yelled 'gently caress Obama' over the intercom"

"oh so you wish you were a cop????"

Wait, I thought the usual thing to do in regards to the unemployment stats was to not count people who stopped receiving benefits. And in September the pandemic benefits ended. Are we just juking the stats as usual again?

this is a common misconception with unemployment rates. there is a difference in the U-3 (Official) and U-6 unemployment rate (which includes those who have stopped seeking work), but they tend to correlated pretty closely.

Alternatively, it’s a typical weapons deal and either the US sells to them or one of their competitors on the international marketplace will. Being able to make a buck on the sales and build relations will almost always trump taking some kind of principled stand that accomplishes nothing and reduces influence with them.

if i wasn't working at this concentration camp someone else would just take my place. quitting would really accomplish nothing ok? try and be practical.

idk how you can say they are defending the arms deal. they clearly just said that not selling the arms would be pointless and wasteful.

That Virginia focus group should not have been a wake up call. Everything that came out of it is exactly what we've known about voters for decades. Expecting a bunch of low info, suburban voters to be able to parse the nuances of academic race and gender topics all while Republicans and leftwing snake oil salesmen are undermining already complex and subpar messaging,

I'm sorry but there is no loving way that low info suburban voters are angry at dems over Leftist Twitter critiques of the party, this is loving stupid and contradictory. You gotta provide evidence if you're going to try and blame a tiny minority with no real power for the failings of the entire party.

There was a riot, and part of the riot was a violent mob intending to kill specific people. But even that is not the same thing as a coup.

this actually would be a coup btw

you're referencing a specific meme while saying "i don't know where i got that from"
https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2178069
i'm not sure how to say this without being insulting to you but maybe, juuuuust maybe, the chuds stole the image for their own use instead of your weird conspiracy that they made biden do that?
"my image of joe biden is *perfectly describes chud meme* i don't know where i got that image from!"
the chuds. you very specifically got that image from people who wanted you to have that image, they created that image, you saw that image, and now you have no idea how you got that image. all i'm telling you is where you got that image from.

Do you think that Chuds are the only people who think Biden is an out of touch old guy?

edit:

*shrug*

yes. yes i think only the chuds think that. it's why i linked to a page with both left and right using that image. because i'm too stupid to click a link and see for myself. instead i, because i'm so stupid, jump to stupid conclusions instead of clicking links. because i'm stupid.
thank you for pointing this out, maybe next time i'll click through the link before i post stupid things.
because boy, how stupid would someone be to not click a link before commenting on it?

that link specifically says that the meme originated from r/neoliberal. what are you talking about and what is your problem?

people have been speaking ominously about consequences for Trump since he began his campaign so dont hold it against people for feeling skeptical

Many modern businesses are far too large for workers to own equitably. You can't have a billion dollar multinational co-op and Steve's corner shop can't mass produce millions of complex computer chips.

this is completely wrong. if a company can be owned by shareholders it can be owned by workers. how coulld you possibly come to this conclusion?

Companies compete with capital for the things they need to get that large.

now youre just moving the goalposts. are we talking about an economy where the workers have seized the means of production or not?

also, there would still be administrators under a planned economy so the rest of this post is pretty off the mark.
