@pixelpusher220

the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence

the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice

some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"

if they are not enough? too late?

then we are truly fucked

#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you

Without #immigration, America's prosperity would be under significant pressure. Our markets are shrinking, and other nations are ever more competitive in #science and #technology. Manufacturing has been all but ceded to other countries (with the remarkable and welcome exception of Biden's 2022 CHIPS and Science Act), putting our entire economy at risk.

Immigrants are great neighbors and, given the opportunity, great Americans. Most demonstrated creativity, persistence, and amazing mental toughness simply making it to our shores. Aren't those qualities worth cultivating?

Anti-immigrants, though, are #privileged, mean-spirited, and as often as not, #racist. They believe that they're owed something, not for their own efforts, but simply by virtue of the accident of their birth on US soil. They blame immigrants (and minorities, and Jews, and. . .) for problems they themselves created.

Forget #ordoamoris. The best way to love America is to love #immigrants. 2/2

Important interview with #privileged #treasurysec #bessent on #BloombergTV

#Protip #media interviews: Never call anyone an “ #averageAmerican”. Nor their kids #average. You have no experience of life outside your bubble of #privilege. Working for the gummint was steady work with steady benefits. Your idea is to make everyone grovel.

And learn to stop smirking on camera. Save it for #SiliconValley @bloomberg

It finally came it!!! I'm going to page through this to see if I find anything useful in any capacity.

I'm a #childfree #Neurodivergent #LGBTQIA #kinkster #LeatherBoy #pagan researching #Witchcraft. I support #Leftist #Activism rooted in #Intersectionality. I'm also open to #polyamory.

I acknowledge my #privileged identities as a cis, white, able-bodied man.

Has anyone else tried reading through this yet? If not I'll try to post my thoughts and any inspiration.

@RulesBuster Significant factors underpinning #USMonitaryPolicy and #USHealthPolicy and the disparity in the growth of wealth for the #Privileged and poverty for the #Underprivileged are #ProsperityGospel and #MuscularChristianity. Trump tapped into these with #Evangelicals to become President. #GodBlesses those who follow him with #Wealth and #Health and #Punishes #Heretics and #Apostates with #Poverty and #Sickness. These are flawed belief systems. #TrumpUsedThem as tools to manipulate #MAGAts

Woohoo! I recently replaced a failed 1.5kWh system with a sparkly new 10kWh system. It's not even summer & I generated 64kWh today! Scattered clouds reduced generation in the afternoon, 🤔 will I see 70? 😁

Low feed in tariff means I'm
really giving most of it to my power company to be sold for 9x more, but that's life, & I figure every kW of sun from me is less coal. 🤷

Panels are NE (9), NW (3), & SW (11) - SE is too shady. Sun is mostly N. Panels limited by space.

Critchley tries to argue against the various responses of #nihilism on a spectrum: refusal, indifference, passivity, & revolt.

Refusal: due to religious #fundamentalism, many hold onto premodern beliefs that offer a complete & unquestioned framework of meaning that effectively sidesteps the existential questions of modernity.
Indifference: nihilism is recognized but dismissed as irrelevant or dismissed as the preoccupation of the #privileged.
