so true mr pres don't listen to the jealous haters and losers

and half those 25% are just college students and new yorkers

lmao he's such an attention whore, can't do the tiniest thing without a long-winded petty dramatic post about it

trends.google.com

he didn't though, at least in the mainstream. liberals made him this funny thirsty trend for like a week and a half before they forgot about the whole thing, without having any serious class dialogue.

going off a bit of a tangent: my mom's a former nursing assistant who went into debt studying to become an LP-nurse when i was in middle school. as an assistant nurse, she developed arithitis from lifting patients with mobility issues every workday, yet she hasn't been able to afford a doctor's appointment in years (or eye care, or dental care). by the book, 2 workers should be lifting patients with proper technique, yet that's rarely the case due to intentional under-staffing and time constraints.

she usually worked in nursing homes; dressing people, hand feeding them, showering/bathing them, cleaning their excrement, etc. nursing assistants spend the most amount of time with patients, so she made a ton of meaningful connections with them over the years. a lot of patients would (and still do) tell her how they can't afford treatment or surgery themselves. after a patient passed (some of whom she'd be grieving over), she and a coworker were usually in charge of cleaning their stiffening bodies and lifting them into bags to be sent to the morgue.

assistant nursing (along with regular nursing to an extent) is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US by far, with up to 60% of facing an injury per year (most commonly back injuries). figuratively and literally the backbone of the healthcare industry who work for barely above minimum wage with little direction or support. if anyone has the most reason to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it's them

unfortunately most people turned it into a funny trend to talk about how cool and hot he is and moved on instead of creating any substantial mainstream dialogue on class consciousness. didn't help that he had incoherent politics and his (supposed) manifesto didn't say much.

i guess the halo effect helped more people agree with his actions, but part of me wonders how different we'd talk about if the shooter was an average joe with a story to tell, like a 50 year old denied life saving treatment, or someone like my mom: she works in healthcare, yet can't afford medical treatment for issues working in healthcare caused

communism is when the government does stuff. communist = authoritarian. aspiring strongman leader = communist

undercount, it's described as a conservative estimate

society's values tend to progress faster than individuals. when a conservative boomer says were "progressive" in their youth, probably all that took was not actively cheering for gay people dying of AIDs. most people's politics stay the same or even shift somewhat left in certain ways as they age

wasn't this the lady who was racist and transphobic on the set of AHS

if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:

gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off

afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:

at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years

Back in 1982, a whopping 43% of fathers admitted they’d never changed a diaper. In recent years, that number went down to about 3%

well damn

it's definintely higher than that, there's plenty of americans who support israel but don't want their taxpayer money being spent on things outside the US

not true, in north america she's actually the 5th elected female president, and 8th elected female leader overall! (maybe many USians don't know but North America includes everything above South America, including Central America and the Caribbean)

NA countries that have elected a female president (excluding countries where the presidency is only a figurehead role):

• Costa Rica
• Haiti
• Honduras (incumbent)
• Nicaragua
• Panama

NA countries that have elected a female PM (excluding countries where the prime ministry is only a figurehead role):

• Barbados (incumbent)
• Dominica
• Jamaica

unelected leaders:

• Canada (interim PM)
• Haiti (interim president, tried to coup the government)

no the socdems are the one in charge, the "socialist" party is suggesting this

yea it's illegal to even lay a finger in most of South America and Europe

Hey smartass Germans have been getting faded for a while, it's been de facto decriminalized for years (aside from in B*vria). Go to any major German city in the past decade or two and you'd smell it as fast as in Cali. If you spent a day in Berlin you'd smell it on the clock lmao

Only half of Americans are against the idea of it lmao

just playing i respect it, personally i think we should aim for this
