  • Really? I'm pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What's the next excuse then? What's the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.

  • Yeah you really don't want a large population of people with nothing to lose start realizing they've nothing to lose. Striking, in the modern world, doesn't exist. Picket lines and stopping work isn't striking. Blowing up police stations and openly killing government and corporate employees is striking.

    All populations eventually get to that point if mistreated.

  • That's not how a proper pension is structured, and given we've hard far more dependents per worker in modern history than is possible with a declining birth rate it'll be economically fine.

    Old people cost less than kids.

  • They have been. Jewish voice for peace has been protesting Israel since before most people have been born, and most Orthodox Jews have always protested zionism, since it's an anti Jewish religion.

    Could more protest? Sure, but that's true of any group. Why did Americans protest American border policy for under trump but not Obama or biden.

  • Only in areas with tigers, and then it would only express itself enough if there were enough evolutionary pressure exclusively on that survival tactic.

    As long as other causes of death happen to deer in tiger territories and as long as speed remains a good survival strategy, minor mutations that would only provide an advantage in extreme specific scenarios like a tiger stalking them wouldn't have a chance to be spread.

    There's also a whole host of additional brain power that needs to be dedicated to more complex colour blending and processing, and that may add enough delay to offset any potential gain in recognizing a threat.

  • Social governance in the US is mostly window dressing. The class oppression is the same, dems just don't pretend poor whites are a higher class than other minorities. To the dem or republican leadership your gender, sex, nor race really matter. As long as you're not trying to remove the class divide then you're good enough. Even the most racist republican would happily go along with a black president as long as said president didn't threaten the economic order. Its why Obama was allowed to do as much as he did.

  • 'Free market,' market-oriented reform capitalism; think Reagan, Bill Clinton, any moderate or conservative before the trump era.

    It has been the sole economic theory in power in the US since the 1970s, with more or less a sliding scale between more neoliberal (republicans before 2016) and less neoliberal/more classical liberal (Biden's and Harris's campaign messaging, not Biden's actual actions).

    The reason it sounds confusing, especially in memes, is because you think dems and republicans have different economic theories behind their actions, when in actual legislative reality they're just more or less neoliberal, and the minute differences get overblown in campaign rhetoric.

  • Yes those are the people that should die. Sorry not everyone believes in suppressing others based on class or other immutable characteristics.

    If you don't like that just ban me like you ban anyone that disagrees with you too much.
