    I genuinely think shit like this is what promotes antisocial behavior in children. As in clinically antisocial, not just a synonym for introverted.

    Children learn hundreds of new words and new things every week. That’s their entire purpose in life at that age.

    Deliberately lying to them about how basic reality works for extended periods of time is likely what causes the neural short circuits of religion and conservatism.












  • vote for the lesser of two evils that somehow gets more evil every four years

    Fucking THANK YOU for saying this. I’ve struggled a lot with this rude awakening, that liberals will put on a smile and pretend they’re good people while stabbing you in the back.

    You can see it in their responses, they just hysterically repeat over and over - “how could you possibly not like Biden, are you some kind of fascist? Look at the enemy!!!”

    Meanwhile they continue to let fascists pillage the nation, commit open terrorism, attempt a violent overthrow of the government with no consequences (who called off the national guard? Who set skeleton crew police lines? Who GAVE TOURS TO FASCIST GROUPS BEFORE THE COUP? who was texting locations of congress members to the mob?).

    They talk so much about how Biden will fight Trump.

    What the fuck were Democrats doing during Trump? Laying back and enjoying the donations rolling in.

    Oh waah the blues had no majority waaaah. Funny how there’s always an excuse why Blues couldn’t help the people while Republicans could be outnumbered 2:1 and still shut down the government on a whim.

    This is the paradox of liberalism.

    You have blue MAGA outlets like NPR that spent the last 8 years being “fair” to both sides, telling their audience the antivax fascist psychopaths are just as valid and worthy as the left trying to give people education and healthcare.

    As if conservative views are even worth recognizing.

    Liberalism without a STRONG left wing always ends in fascism, and the liberals are more than happy to join the fascists (see: literally all liberal discourse on Lemmy).

    Guess what the US has spent the past 80 years doing. Real coincidence every time a country leans left, they are overthrown by CIA puppets.

    So now you have liberals in literal tears trying to get their guy elected without even fucking understanding the issues at play. They don’t give a shit.




  • “Was working illegally” as if they somehow forced an employer to pay them under the table instead of hiring a citizen. As if their income would even qualify for any significant tax revenue.

    It takes two to tango, employers pay payroll and insurance tax as well.

    But, I also agree. People who do not pay their fair share of taxes (even if that fair share is $0) should not benefit from the services those taxes enable.

    Now you must agree billionaires and corporations should also stop receiving government subsidies because they are not paying their fair share, right?

    Same thing goes for conservative regions that historically suck up funding while contributing none, right?

    Anything else and you would just be a hypocrite lying about why lesser classes should be treated worse; that would be terrible!


  • There are studies gaining traction that pretty conclusively prove it’s due to shit diets.

    Eat more veggies, fiber, and bioavailable nutrients and the rates go way down.

    Turns out when you feed kids apple-flavored sugar water and ultraprocessed pop tarts and Hostess donuts literally their entire lives, their health goes to shit

    Let’s remember while lazy and incompetent parents have always existed, it’s never been this fucking bad. Households working 10+ hours a day struggle to live without kids as it is in the richest nation in the world.

    When your back is broken, you can’t buy your kid a reliable used car let alone college, you will never retire, and you will never own a home, it turns out raising an iPad baby with a jar full of cookies happens easier than you think.
