Okay so I’d like you to take a few minutes to Google previous immigration waves to the US, and the strife they caused in both a cultural and economic sense.
Just because things worked out eventually doesn’t mean there weren’t extreme issues getting there.
Are you even American? This is something the vast majority of Americans know from both an educational and family history perspective.
You know the US isn’t the only country that has issues due to letting in more immigrants than they can handle right? You are stating a position that would be considered radical in virtually every western nation as if it were an established fact.
Inflation and immigration were both at like 40 year highs. Also not only did a large number of billionaires favor Harris, but Harris won the majority of American households making over 200k per year.
Quit it with this gaslighting shit.
The AP is headquartered in NYC. They write their articles in American English. They spend a wholly disproportionate time covering US news, and the closest relationships they have are with US institutions. The author of this article has an American education at a state-managed university.
The national language of Denmark is Danish. 15 percent of the nation doesn’t even speak English.
This is 100 percent an article meant for US audiences, from a primarily US news organization.
A danish news organization will have articles about what Danes think of tariffs. The same with a Canadian news organization, a German one, etc. Yet for some reason almost all of what American sources talk about is what citizens of other countries think.
I think the fact that American establishment publications put out more articles about what citizens of other countries think of tariffs than what Americans think of tariffs is part of the reason why Trump won.
The upper 10 percent of liberal America seems to think of themselves as citizens of the world, and seems to spend more time caring about anything other than Americans outside their hyper-specific socioeconomic niche.
The end result of this mentality is that Trump was able to make huge inroads with groups that were historically democrat’s bread and butter in 2024. Even if he was lying through his teeth, he and his team made real efforts to appeal to issues that were important for demographics.
I’m willing to bet you could find people from Hawaii to Mississippi altering their spending habits in fear of Trump’s tarrifs. Maybe the press should spend more time reporting on them.
Obviously, neither Trump nor MAGA is the answer. However there needs to be a way to talk with how out of touch so much of our establishment is without sounding like a Trump supporter.
I feel like all these decisions don’t mean anything until the justice department case resolves.
That’s actually exactly what I mean. Eight years ago is “almost a decade”. Since his defeat in the 2016 democratic primaries:
Dude has had massive political and social pull for a long time now, and has very little to show for it.
God if this doesn’t summarize Bernie’s career in a nutshell; A viral empowering moment that feels amazing on first glance, but in reality it’s just a virtue signal. Absolutely nothing of consequence was accomplished, and absolutely nothing meaningful changes.
This man has been in Congress for longer than I have been alive. He’s had serious pull in the democratic party for almost a full decade now. At some point platitudes don’t cut it.
Dude should have just added comments indicating that the code was part of some security test but was unfinished and extremely dangerous.
Change a few file names, add a comment how it will never run under normal circumstances, and you’ve got plausible deniability.
I feel like this is gonna be a cash cow for reddit, just not in a way spez can just openly talk about.
A huge portion of reddit is OnlyFans promos. Reddit is making zero off of all this, because traditional advertising doesn’t want to associate themselves with porn. A bunch of these “paid subreddits” will basically be a reddit’s attempt to compete with OnlyFans.
I honestly think it’ll work. There’s a lot of money in porn.n
I can’t help but feel that a lot of companies would have been better off just staying out of controversial issues only tangentially related to their business.
Trump is gonna pretend like he meant forcing the Saudi/Qatar proposal that the Biden administration was attempting to negotiate and people will call him genius.
I’m convinced Elon’s final act will be running over minorities in a Cybertruck while strung out on Ketamine.
Sometimes I feel like democrats don’t actually care more about voters, they just care much more about appearances.
My Instagram reels are the most tame shit ever. You gotta redo your filters.
The fact that meta is also banned makes me think a huge part of this is just getting people onto Bluesky.
I get Zuckerberg is an asshole, but Instagram is the least toxic platform for me. That’s because Instagram has keyword and subject filtering.
The article seems to argue that Neil was able to pull the wool over a lot of people’s eyes, and it’s perfectly reasonable for a lot of people close to him to be in the dark about all of this.
As far as I’m concerned Palmer is an active participant. There’s absolutely no way she didn’t know what was going on, and her public feminist stance provided extra credibility to Gaimen.
This is an extremely fucked up article. I don’t think anyone could read it and not be disturbed.
Jesus Christ it’s like the SNL Pongo skit in real life.
This is the repeated part right here. If this article was primarily targeted towards Denmark, it wouldn’t be written in American English. You danced around that point. English is a second language for Denmark. An article targeted at Danes would be in Danish.
You’re a manipulative POS.
