There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.

The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.

they need to address the real issues that affect all working class people.

But of course this would mean clawing back some concessions from the capitalist class, and they own both parties, so....nope.

99% of Gaza is definitely not still alive. If you were paying attention, you'd notice the official death toll mostly stopped going up after a certain number of hospital bombings. That's because their healthcare system lost the ability to keep track, not because people stopped dying. Realistic estimates are around 200,000 dead, about half children.

You're excusing the brutal murder of one hundred thousand children. Reflect on that for a moment.

Yikes, that's a pretty strong aversion to reality.

Unfortunately, leaving a salty comment doesn't make the truth go away. The democrats have literally been facilitating a genocide for the past year. They suck. They can be "not the absolute worst possibility" and still be very very shit.

Or were pushed away by voter suppression and hopelessness...

That's amazing, gotta love strange cats.

Capitalism is highly unstable, and the US empire is in decline. I strongly believe that without the support of a global hegemon, capital will win less and less.

Just look at how many times the US and its minions have intervened to topple or compromise socialist movements around the world. Without that intervention, many may have been successful. They can only keep this up for so long, and I suspect they're already starting to strain.

It's a long ass road but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Are you gonna accept fascism, or take the step?

Labor organizing is a good thing to work on - it can bring about modest improvements for the working class, and you can't be too organized. Educate anyone who's willing to listen, educate yourself, actually read stuff. Maybe there's a local organization you can join. Maybe there are some smaller wins possible in local politics, get familiar with who's on your city council, go to some meetings or something. There are many options. Sitting on your couch and declaring hopelessness isn't the best one.

Those really look like opposable thumbs.

Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn't limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can't just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.

This man is more serious than you think. Israel is a place, "somewhere else" to put all the Jews, so that they're "not here". That sounds pretty great to a nazi, actually.

Teslas are so bad for this, that whole "all the controls are on a big ipad" setup should be illegal.
