Clown world is the only place this could not be a joke. Like what else could they have on there? Free oral sex on request? Support for kittens?

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

this is scary if you are someone that relies on exploitation for your livelihood.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago

Socialism will give you scary big dicks

[–] 5715@feddit.org 18 points 9 hours ago

When you're so racist and classist, that you've become afraid of "all".

[–] Nukola@feddit.it 9 points 8 hours ago

I don't find anything wrong.

Ah yes, thanks faux news for accidentally advertising socialism and making them look cool

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Well, unfortunately they can just show this, because a third of the country apparently hates these things for some reason

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 1 points 5 hours ago

Well those things are obviously bad, if they weren't, their "team" wouldn't fight so hard against it!

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

The governments, with lower corruption, are successfully running their public services funded by taxes. The USA will need to reduce the defense budget, lower corruption and stop voting for shitbag politicians.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

I like how the Free Palestine bit clearly wasn't part of whatever presentation they stole this from.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Gimme gimmie

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Anybody has the video? I wanna know if this is real and if it is I wanna see them try to spin that the bad way.

Health care ? Stable economy ? You really want that ?

You'll end up just like Boomers with fancy "pensions" and "cabins" and happy grandkids DO YOU REALLY want tha.... yeah that sounds pretty pretty pretty good comrade.

Soon enough it's going to be "Food? Clean water? Those aren't in the constitution, that'll be 50 dollars for that small bag of rice, cash or klarna?"

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

They'll put a tax on oxygen after

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Klarna or ~~physical enslavement~~ prison labor?

[–] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 38 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If you see this and think these things are bad things to have in your country, you are seriously fucked in the head and I hope you die a horrible death from colon cancer.

What blows my mind is that basically all of these fit in with fiscal conservative ethos.

  • Healthcare would benefit the most from economy of scale, which is the bedrock of corporation above the mom and pop level.
  • Education is literally capital reinvestment for sustained growth.
  • Housing is a commodity like like any other.
  • 32 hour work weeks are scientifically proven to increase productivity and decrease Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.
  • Taxation is another instance of capital reinvestment for sustained growth. Hell, it's (demi-god of capitalism) Henry Ford's "pay the line workers enough to buy my products".
  • The Green New Deal is not quite as cut and dry, but there is plenty of both "leveling the playing field to promote free market competition" against fossil fuel subsidies AND capital reinvestment.

Palestine opens a whole other can of billions of dollars of foreign government spending separate from the ethical concerns, which is less clear cut on market economics and would need to be an essay by itself. So I will just stick with the 6 out of 7 low hanging fruits for this argument, and mock the completely not fiscally conservating mess the Republican party has become.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

There was a time where I was moderate, willing to believe the word of conservatives who said they wanted fiscal responsibility. I now know that they are craven liars, and have become fully radicalized.

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Preach! I still consider myself to be a moderate or centrist as a leftist libertarian (social progressive and fiscal conservative), and also haven't believed Republicans were actual fiscal conservatives since Bush Jr. They have been only social conservatives since arguably at least Regan. Still pissed off that insane Ayn Rand utopian individualists and Christian Nationalists became the entire libertarian movement.

[–] auntieclokwise@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Green New Deal is also incredibly sound economics and conservative ethos. Economically speaking, which is better: something you have to spend a bunch of time and effort mining for and then can only ever use it once or something you spend a bit more effort mining and manufacturing, but then can receive gains off your investment for decades? Gains that exceed your initial investment well before expected end of life.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

And that's just the economics of the gains; completely forgoing the cumulative costs burdened upon society by climate-change (increased heating/cooling-costs, early deaths because of pollution, crops failing and the mass-migration as a result of that). Continuing with fossil fuel is very very dumb if you look at the medium to long term.

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

True, although we shouldn't pretend that the cost for building a coal mine or developing an oil field is more single use than a solar farm or wind turbine. Many oil wells and coal mines operate for decades with relatively small operational costs after initial build out. Time in production difference is not statistically significant enough to make that a linchpin argument.

The jobs created by solar and wind in R&D, manufacturing, and construction and maintenance, along with most importantly the carbon emissions benefits are the most relevant economic points. Nuclear should also be part of the Green New Deal, but fossil fuel companies successfully fear mongered that sector to death.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 20 hours ago

The conservatives abandoned ethos long ago in favor of being against everything the progressives are for.

One of the bits that blew my mind was watching foreign politics and learning other countries have right wings further left than our own left. Fucking Overton windows.

The older generation is so selfish they don’t want the younger generations to get something “easier” than they think they had it. “I walked uphill both ways in the snow” kind of thinking. Most privileged generation.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Good luck being distracted by age. That's almost as bad as red/blue state bullshit. Sure, the people in power in those states is making a difference, but my point is there's a huge mix of people in every state. And in the same way, there's plenty of old progressives and young fascists.

Constantly putting this crap on older generations implies you're one of the ones hoping the problem will die off.

It won't.

And distracting you from realizing that is the big reason for the push for "boomers" to equal "evil". There's a lot of idiot evil boomers, but there's plenty of young idiot evil fascists.

The problem ain't gonna die itself away. We must fight.

If you just give someone a Palestine for free, what incentive will they have to work?
