Who doesn’t recognize Zizek on sight?

We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road

NATO isn’t an army, it’s a defense pact. Member countries can’t just launch an attack against a non-member country (especially to “protect” said non-member).

I think it’s fair to say that ~80% of voters will just follow whatever their party’s media outlets say they should vote for. If a proper leftist and actually got the DNC nomination, I don’t think many classic liberals would think twice about voting for them.

If it were anything but a Toyota, I’d say to avoid the OEM premium, but I’d get it in this case. But not from a mechanic, either. You can almost certainly find then for a lower price and install yourself. Leaf springs are like 3 bolts

If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years

You would literally lose your job and social life in the US if you said this in America about immigrants lol

Cute but this is one degree removed from “shy away from everything that challenges you.”

“The all of nothing mentality is not healthy,” but you can learn and try to do more (and fail) without beating yourself up, too, and you should want to grow.

Use a DNS adblocker on your router and mobile network. 10x easier than it sounds. I haven’t seen an ad on my screen that I didn’t want in years.

I remember when “analog horror” was when the VCR ate your rental tape

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” “the issue isn’t liberal globalism, the issue is unregulated markets.”

Of course no one is arguing on halting all international trade but the same brainrot idealogy that encourages maximum globalism also encourages finding the least-regulated and most profitable trade partners. Until the entire globe can adopt a different paradigm, you can’t reconcile those two components as not being inextricably linked. There’s no possible scenario where global liberal capitalism doesn’t produce unregulated, monopolistic, wealth-concentrating trade.

Bad thing happens.

Side A says bad thing is actually good and wants to continue bad thing.

Side B says bad thing is bad but actually wants to continue bad thing.

Debt, debt, debt, and debt. Most people don’t own anything in “their” home and probably never will.

Not to mention the fact that most of those (giant houses, trucks) are just people buying the only options on the market.

Post-1989 globalist liberalism failed to improve QoL, pure and simple. Across the western world, people have watched international trade deals do nothing but siphon jobs and wealth out of their homes

If you’re the type of person whose life is actually hurt by this, you deserve it lol
