Not me. Hence why I like to argue with conservatives I guess. Not sure how many are more like me vs you.But the rich like us fighting over scraps.

EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret here's where I'd assume somebody with virtue would tell somebody (even someone they agree with on lots of stuff, maybe specifically someone they agree with cause it would be more likely to be listened to) not to bring race into this. but wtf do I know.edit: I should add I know of no NAS members in countries with universal health care that want to get rid of it. but in the US, wanting it makes you a commie.

justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret you're acting like older generations concerned about the degenerating of younger generations. they try shit, sometimes just to freak out people like you. look at the trolling here. same thing. and you think it's a plot instead of just what happens with kids.that damn rock and roll telling kids about Satan and to kill themselves.

justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret I'm 46. Are you not the guy in your pic? I have a kid in high school. I don't see the perversion you're talking about. I do see kids less scared to be gay than in my day. One issue I don't like is girls more likely to say they are trans or non binary than a tomboy and angry about the norms forced on them like when I was their age. They internalize it instead of getting angry at the system. Do you have kids?

justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret it's this generation's version of punk. they're also less afraid of saying they don't like the gender norms or know who they are yet. ask how many are actually taking hormone blockers or getting surgeries. calm down old man. the kids are alright.

EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret And here's a fact check of your claim, a law I'm not sure I support but which is not what you claimed.And you're proving my point. Rich people turned an issue about a very small number of kids struggling with who they are into a meme about the govt castrating your kids so you'll hate govt some more and they can have less business regulation and lower taxes. They turned money into bs to get what they want and us get less.https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36DH2RT - https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36DH2RT

EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret but I didn't say "not nice". I said selfish, wealth and a failure to compromise.who decides is exactly the question and why we've built institutions with rules we're supposed to follow, not lie and bitch about when it means a president can't do what he wants. how much did Elon spend to help the GOP?I somehow didn't hear about that law you claim exists above, but did just hear Rogan complaining about ICE harassing a guy he worked with for being brown.

NoBeret - https://planetrage.social/users/NoBeret justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich being overly selfish is the problem. that can show up in an insatiable need for money or attention. probably other stuff too.but some selfishness is required. and people tend to think they have the right ideas. so compromise is really hard. that's where the conflict begins.and I focus on money because in our system, it's what allows the interests of a few who have more money to win out over the interests of the many. till it gets bad enough...

justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich with mandates, they would have made less under universal health care.if these companies are concerned about money, maybe that's also why they don't have on lefties who want much higher taxes on rich people and corporations.your claim is they push a left agenda and that's cause they're all secret commies in their heart or cause they hate America or maybe both?imo they don't push left. they go for profit - a wide audience w content palatable to ads and owners.

justinerickson - https://noauthority.social/@justinerickson EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich just saying something in a disdainful tone doesn't make it true.the establishment does not want universal health care. re m5m, their big pharma advertisers know it would lead to pressure to lower drug prices like it has everywhere else.the conspiracy worldview never thinks through how many of their big baddies actually want different things.

EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich lots of podcasts now go on tangents. what I wish conservatives would recognize (and publicly say to other conservatives) is that the m5m is not "left". it might be further left than they are but it is much more about the establishment. the m5m has kept off progressive voices just like it has kept off conservative perspectives. and in the US where we lack the social services of most other rich countries, it's worth asking which side they've been better at making seem unreasonable.

EvilSandmich - https://poa.st/users/EvilSandmich what do you mean by a DN show? further left?

ntnsndr - https://social.coop/@ntnsndr evan - https://cosocial.ca/@evan any chance of getting #DemocracyNow - https://liberal.city/tags/DemocracyNow on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a #mastodon - https://liberal.city/tags/mastodon server for staff or a #peertube - https://liberal.city/tags/peertube or #owncast - https://liberal.city/tags/owncast site for video...the great promise of the #SocialWeb - https://liberal.city/tags/SocialWeb imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.mondoweiss - https://social.mondoweiss.net/@mondoweiss is blazing the trail for establishing true indy media for the dissident left here.
