Here and the New York Times comments are both pretty great. This type of behavior is just plain old indefensible even when the victims aren’t sympathetic. We also know that it’s not going to stay limited to just reprehensible people

The problem with corporate meddling is that they’re increasingly larger and larger percentage of the total wealth in society and the average person doesn’t really have the money to directly pay any of these people so they’re dependence on the women’s Corporation because they’re the only ones who have any money

I remember a time when the discovery channel, the science channel, and Animal Planet actually had stuff worth watching. I’m pretty sure they’ve replaced it all with garbage reality TV since the business model of cable is basically filling the airwaves so Boomers don’t realize they’ve been paying for something they aren’t watching anymore and finally get around to calling to cancel.

The stupid part gets more electoral college votes per capita and the smart part is stuck with a corpo middle manager party that’s resistant by design to any leftward shift (see Bernie 2016 & 2020)

I think this time will be different because there isn’t a “normal” to go back to because it’s literally not there anymore. You can’t have a career or a family or ow. A house like you used to. The right wants tradwives but not to pay a man enough his wife can bot have to work and that’s why that shit isn’t going anywhere. Society is going to have to change a whole lot and not backwards

The counterculture was the first wave of America becoming left and it was brutally supressed in the Reagan counterrevolution. We’re arguably more left per capita today but it’s entirety extraparlimentary

- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
I can’t remember enjoying going to the mall either and I guess I assumed that was because I wasn’t into clothes because gender dysphoria but I suppose there were actually reasons people liked to go to the mall. My experience growing up in Suburbia was that it was completely socially dead
Basically adults hated teenagers and kids so they banned them from everywhere and then they still want happy and now they’re angry at kids staying inside all day because they destroyed outside. Destroy the possibility of having a normal social life and then go after the consolation prize too just despite them. You know the same assholes that want to take away kids phones aren’t going to consent to any kind of urban planning changes to make it easier for them to have offline friends
