It sucks that some nice people actually replied to your shitty comment.

That’s not what the middle class is. I’m not about to repeat myself. And the more you write on it, the more it’s clear that you don’t understand what you are talking about and never read anything on the matter but instead you’re just writing about your personal opinions on the matter. Please stop spewing the insane propaganda of “the harder you work, the richer you’ll be” and stop wasting my time

No, it really doesn’t exist. It’s an idea created by the rich to make some among the working class believe that they are different from the other working class people. But they are not. If you need to work to survive, you are working class.

And please, don’t insult your intelligence or mine talking about trickle-down economy. That’s also not a real thing

It’s not “a wash”. We are talking about the literal lives of people that are being ethnically cleansed with the help of this current administration.

I can tell you clearly think that’s just a non issue that people can disagree on, but it’s a historical event. And you can’t just go “well then let’s not talk about that and focus on the rest. Trump is worse on that”. Sure, Trump is worse and is worse in everything. But that doesn’t resolve the issue of the Palestinian genocide, does it?

The middle class also doesn’t exist and makes as much sense as trickle-down economics does. It’s either working class or rich.

I don’t think you fully understand what you are saying. You are saying that Trump will be worse for Gaza and Palestine…while all of this has been happening under Biden’s administration and with his support (the constant UN vetoes and the constant selling of weapons).

The Palestinian genocide has always been happening with the blessing of the US government. From that point of view, right now both candidates are exactly as good for Palestine. As in, they are not.

I don’t think you know exactly what Zionism is then. It’s a political/social ideology. What does that have to do with racism? Maybe you were thinking of antisemitism?

Wow. Almost a year of news about the ongoing genocide could make someone numb but your absolute lack of care really shows the kind of person you are.

Truly revolting

My mistake for misunderstanding what you meant then! I thought you were referring to the scientific article itself, not the news article

Aren’t 70+ years enough time though? Those people are done. You can’t ask them to swallow bitter pills for that long of a time while also telling them to shut up because “you are enabling the enemy”. They have valid criticisms that some key people from the Democratic side are far too happy to ignore. Honest question…how do you compromise with an ongoing genocide in an apartheid state?

After a quick read of the article

Definitely NOT what you want to read when talking about academic studies and statistics. It unfortunately makes you sound like an armchair expert

Edit: I misunderstood the comment and was unnecessarily rude

It’s the photo of a politician, which is against the rules that make this community pleasant for everyone else. You can find the guidelines of this community in the sidebar

This post goes against the community guidelines, please remove it

Edit: you can disagree, but it still goes against rule 2 of this community and I’m so sick of having political photos everywhere. There are tons of political communities already, go post there please

They are “on their side” when it’s in their interest to do so. Which, bluntly, is true for almost all people. Absolute altruism–doing a ‘good’ thing for which you receive absolutely no reward (including public recognition or a sense of smug superiority) at all–is so rare as to be extinct. That’s how politics is always played, my dude

…that’s literally what I have been saying. Matter of fact, your whole reply was just a different way of saying the same thing. You just repeated my points and tried to be cool by adding the “my dude” at the end.

I’m done with this pointless conversation. Goodbye

Indeed they can and do support things…things that will allow them to make more money. They are called investments.

The “fight” with DeSantis was all theatre and their “win” simply allows them to continue to rule on their land as if nothing changed.

And I think you are mixing correlation with causation: just because they happen to support and give money to Democrats, it doesn’t mean they stand by them. In the same link you shared, it shows they gave money to the Republicans and Nikki Haley…which is not something someone would do if they truly supported the things you said they do.

And that’s the whole point. They are not someone. They are a company, controlled by individuals who are simply looking to maximize profits. You think they are left- or center-aligned but that is simply because that reflects the majority of their customer base. If tomorrow the right suddenly comprised the majority of their customers, they would change side immediately.

I cannot believe people in 2024 still think giant multinational companies can “be on their side”

They are a company, they don’t support anything. They only look out for the most profitable paths to make money. Just last week Disney started giving donations to the Republican party again

Sorry friends, can you kindly point me to the museum?

What about all the other comments in this post that keep pointing out that the author of the comic is a Nazi? You really seem not to care about that detail

Yes. Others have already explained why in the comments, so I’ll just leave the website for all public instances of SearXNG as alternative instead
