It's so fucking annoying watching these lib think tanks "figuring it out" when this knowledge has been around for so god damned long
Lib friends calling you cynical for acknowledging real problemsm/ conflicting class interests is so annoying
Lmfao if your friend just wants to get doubled over by some Harvard pervert bc they're qualified there's not much you can do aside from openly mock them unfortunately.
When you huff glue your entire life the glue starts to smell normal
Most people in my life are like that too. Just plainly eating shit for Democrats in really embarrassing ways. I think admitting it is just too hard a pill to swallow. Nobody wants to admit they're a serf.
actually it would be in both parties best interests if there could be more parties because that would mean that they like have more freedom to like debate their ideas and stuff.
I'm always baffled by otherwise intelligent people just accepting explanations like this with no further thought. How would that benefit them exactly? Even when I was a hardcore :LIB: , I knew that neither party wanted any other parties from coming in the door; it simply wouldn't behoove them, especially if you (naively) believe at face value that they want to do good things, but are hamstrung by other people/procedures.
Link him the Harvard study demonstrating that Chinese citizens love the CPC with an independently verified 95% approval rating and then send him the polls demonstrating that Americans fucking hate their government and cockroaches have higher approval ratings than Congress.
Libs are physically incapable of hearing anything that disagrees with their world view.
5% unemployment! Jesus Christ. Imagine thinking that's something you should aim for.
And that's the U3. People actively searching. We're not even talking about the U6 figure of working age hireables.
Concervatives scream and cry at young people for going to college, but they refuse to acknowledge a full time student as a potential new hire.
They also want us to pay for college out of pocket and to not take out “irresponsible” loans, but to not avoid college altogether if we don’t wanna be poor. It’s a no win situation. You get criticized no matter what. And if you make enough money to get by you’re not allowed to complain on behalf of the people who don’t
Think about how you feel about land lords, now understand that it's mutual
no war but the motherfucking class war :mao-aggro-shining: 410,757,864,530 million dead landlords
Fun fact: Most bourgeois economists defines "full employment" as an unemployment rate somewhere around five percent.
2 percent is usually given as the low base figure for frictional unemployment
Opposition to Medicare for All is for the same reason. The boss loves having the power of life and death over you so that you do whatever they say. A lot of libs naively thinking that M4A would be good for businesses because they only think in terms of direct benefits, like the economy is just a video game that anyone can win (and doesn't every business want to minimize cost?!?!?). They never consider economic decisions with Game Theory or anything that actually takes human nature (i.e. long-term thinking, self-interest, SPITE).
Game Theory or anything that actually takes human nature
Game theory is only human nature in coercive systems, and then only among the well informed. You can't have a prisoner's dilemma without prisoners.
Our material reality is a coercive system, with prisoners. Living in denial does not change ~material conditions~
Free market capitalism is when the collectivist nanny state intervenes to make sure the labour market remains a buyer's market.
Did y'all not have the "worker shortage" bullshit that we in the US got?
This is the old way of thinking, that is why capitalists are still so scared of inflation. IMO, unemployment can go much lower and wages still won't go up. Suddenly capitalists will start to love inflation.
