It continues to astound me this has to be stated as a political position, as though objecting to Israel committing mass genocide against Palestinians somehow makes you an antisemite.
Mass killing of innocent people is always wrong, no matter who is doing it.
“The economy” these days is just a nickname for the rich man’s game - the stocks, shares, and speculation that have nothing to do with the average person’s lived experience.
The average person could be near-destitute, but because the rich man’s numbers are going up, tHe EcOnOmY iS dOiNg JuSt FiNe!
Exactly.
People think they’re rich when they’ve won the lottery, and sure they are compared to the average person, but they’re just a fly on the wall in comparison to the ultra-wealthy.
I simply don’t believe one can become that wealthy by any honest means - you can’t work to get that wealthy, you can’t win to become that wealthy, hell there are plenty of entire countries with less money than some of the ultra-wealthy.
The fact that these people can play around with such an unimaginably absurd amount of wealth while so many more struggle, their wildest dreams but a fragment of a fragment of a fragment of what these people have, I find to be absurd.
Just deleted the duplicate, thanks for the heads up
But that’s it. That cognitive dissonance is just part of the veil, same as the meme above.
The poor folks who get absorbed by the veil think they’re a shoe-in to the rich, when they couldn’t be further away - they’d have better chances of being picked to go to space than becoming part of the ultra-wealthy.

It’s such a laughably weak veil the rich pull over people’s eyes I’m surprised more folks don’t figure this out.
It’s sickening to watch the rich people play their game with no care in the world whilst the working families are struggling just to feed their themselves.
So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?
How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.
Isn’t this the same old “ThE eCoNoMy Is DoInG gReAt, WhY aRe YoU cOmPlAiNiNg?” BS as always?
The average person doesn’t care how well the rich people’s game is going if they’re struggling to afford their groceries because of said rich people’s game.
The mainstream consoles nowadays basically are locked-down computers anyway, so makes sense that people are skipping the live-services middleman and going straight to PC
Unless you care about exclusives, then PCs are the better all-rounder IMO, and don’t need a yearly payment on top of your internet bill
I was just surprised to see el cheapo in the wild - though for a cheap backpack it’s surprisingly durable, out-lasted some of my nicer packs haha
Sorry to derail, but what a coincidence, I think I might have that very same cross-body bag
This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.
The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn’t give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.
If you’re on private property after closing time to the public, then you’re trespassing, regardless of why you’re there.
The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you’re going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you’re protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.
It always sucks to know you paid more than the seller did - but that just means Oxfam undervalued the book.
Having worked in one, charity shops tend to have a habit of either really undervaluing or overvaluing their donated goods - cause the people who actually set the prices mostly just guess based on looks and nothing more. Only if an item looks expensive will they do any research, and even then never really enough.
While I’m not in the business of defending rich folks, but there is a reason a lot of child celebrities tend to go off the deep end - having never being certain of your privacy is probably maddening.
I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I’ve become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I’ve never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don’t work for me
“Where we’re going Goat, we don’t need boats - but we do need that cabbage”
Exactly. Every job has it’s own skills, whether that be mental, physical, or both.
There’s not a single job on Earth that you could plop someone into with no practuce and have them instantly be good at it - if someone tells you otherwise they’re either incompetent or they’re lying (like stated in the above meme)
FTFY
“Gods, I swear you fix one thing in a ritual, two more take its place - my teleportation no longor puts me in the ground, but now my clothes arrive backwards and occasionally I’m puside down - didn’t even touch those bits of the spell!”

I find it hard to grasp how these folks just don’t seem to notice what a grifter Trump actually is.
Nobody with a moral backbone could ever do half the stuff Trump did before, during, and after his presidency.
