I hadn’t heard of this, I looked it up, and Jesus Christ. The wikipedia article on the topic was clearly written by the most misogynistic liberal they could find. I know it makes no sense, they don’t see us in the global south as people so of course I understand they’re monsters, but imagine still supporting Biden after shit like this is public.

Wish I could upvote this twice. Well said.

I think people (including me, until recently) give too much benefit of the doubt to business people, just because they’d rather believe they tell the truth when spousing ideals. Of course they’ll be shady when it makes financial sense, and even be dumbasses when it makes no financial sense.

Our system selects fairly well so that people like this end up being the primary decision makers, and it’s a very rare occasion when someone with morals makes it high enough and manages to stay there.

I love the detail of python2 lmao.

“nothing will change” here refers to this election’s results. Libbing out implies thinking that you’re not politically involved beyond maybe voting. So of course you should stop libbing out if you want to improve things somewhat. That’s the context of this conversation.

I agree it can help to point people in the right direction, especially if they ask you what they can do. That’s not the context of this conversation.
