  • I just don't get how they're not tired of this. There's one of these at least once per year and every time The Big One never happens. You'd think that after a few times people would get sick of it and just tune out any future doomsdays but there's always an audience for the next one

    Worse conditions for immigrants means the implicit threat of violence against immigrant workers is more effective. They're not trying to deport their own workforce, they're trying to pay them even less







  • It's pretty common for right wing nerds to use the unibomber manifesto as their one single, token piece of "leftist" theory they've engaged with so they can pull the old "unlike you I can read books I disagree with smuglord "

    I think it's mostly because 1) it's edgy 2) no real leftist movement developed from or even has been attached to it, so it's harmless to them and 3) he spends quite a lot of it ranting about feminists from what I remember


  • You've gotta be so weird about women to fit in with other dudes. Trying to understand women as people and not as some mysterious alien species makes you an immediate outcast.

    Fairly benign example: men will frequently complain about how women will "complain about something and then get mad when you tell them how to fix it". Trying to explain the concept of venting (they're doing it right now! They're venting right now about women!) has usually gotten me reactions that range from weird looks and disbelief to arguments that women actually just love not solving problems.

    Obvs this isn't as big of a problem as having to put up with men refusing to understand you but it still sucks being expected to participate in it
