I decided to scroll through lemmy dot world and laughed out loud when I read this comment.

      I'm so sick of libs going on about "first past the post" and ranked choice voting. They always have a magic reform they obsess over. Before this every lib would thought terminate with "We need to overturn Citizens United!" It's their magic smart person thing to say, that if this one thing changed then it will all be perfect.

        they never have a plan beyond wishing for it. it's just that oprah bullshit about thinking good thoughts, so good things come to them.

          "The Secret" is just solipsism for brunch liberals.

              If good things happen to privileged rich assholes, it's because they manifested those good things correctly.

              If the poors don't have good things happen to them, it's because they didn't do "the Secret" magic correctly and got what's coming to them.

              Yeah that kind of checks out.

                And just like in regular Calvinism, you can tell who's virtuous by how rich and "successful" they are within capitalism. It's a secular version of specifically the amerikkkan prosperity gospel branch of Calvinism.

          Libs operate based on 40k Ork magic, they think if enough people believe hard enough things will get better.

          Someone needs to send them your pfp Red Rosa's book on the topic; for them to read or to bludgeon them with, whichever tbh.
