Socialism was an embellishment. Keep in mind, Germans thought Socialism was a type of enlightened government - many parties whether or not they actually were Socialist called themselves socialists.
The practice of naming yourself something that you aren't philosophically aligned with is normal. Is the "Democrat" party particularly democratic? Is the "Liberal" party in any way aligned with freedom? What about "New Democrat", who are neither new, nor is their advocacy of Democracy unique.
The national socialist party wasn't socialist (unless we're talking about Hegelian Socialism here, which is a different bird) - and if definitely wasn't Marxist, they hated communists with a passion. It was just a trendy name.
The Golden age of the internet is dead. Kiwifarms will die with it. Of course, most people can still see it on the clearnet, and when it's eventually purged from that it will be on tor - but its slide into obscurity just shows how far we've traveled from that golden age.
MGTOW are, for the most part, misguided abused individuals who society has treated unfairly. Most of the time their predictions about the world are obsessively negative, and never correct.
However, when you prove them right, you prove yourself as untrusting and pessimistic as they are, and I don't think that's a good thing.
I do not believe this style of hydrogen car burns hydrogen, it electrolyzes water, or something, so it's not combustion like a standard engine.
Needless to say, it's complete bunkum. There's no way this can be commercially viable compared to current ICE technology.
Money slightly losing value year-on-year is by design. Prior to this, in the gold standard, money gained value if you did nothing but horde it. Because of this, people didn't invest it, and there was economic stagnation any time gold's value rose.
With MMT, the slight loss of value in money means that people are incentivized to invest it or they'll lose 2% each year. The spur in investment and rise of MMT is one of the reasons the USA is the richest country in the world.
I love how people completely forgot the Eisenhower days when he completely got it wrong that somehow increasing prices were businesses' fault (by trying to tell consumers to pay less for goods), and now we've learned the lesson that monetary policy is shaped by interest/money injection and controlling government spending and debt.
Even though we know this, and economics 102 still teaches this, somehow now it's popular to believe that inflation is caused by "corporate greed" because somehow, corporations decided July 2021 was the day to start being 8% more greedy.
They are quite good at taking mental illnesses, renaming them, and turning them into cults. They've done it to homosexual sexual disorders, they did it to sexual dissasociative indentity disorder, and now they're working through the 16 core types of antisocial personality disorders, various types of pedophilia and soon the whole rainbow of problems with the human brain we used to have therapeutic solutions to will become reasons for celebration, enticing young people to actually want a disorder in order to fit in.
Welcome to hell, boys.
Cis is a slur - treat it like that.
Anyone who unironically uses it is basically calling you a nigger. Luckily - the only place I see it used is online, no one has said that to my face, but I've made it clear the word is only used by people who hate white people, thus, it is a slur.
I often say, to those who think that orcs are a caricature of black people, that they can't be, because they have no racial bonus to thievery, they have a racial increase to strength which increases their ability to swim, and they are often very proud of their lineage and stick around to raise their children.
But remember, around elves... watch yourselves.
We're talking about a universe where races who look similar and can get along band together and kill other races almost certainly because of their race. Hell, the races are declared by alignment (like, Chaotic Evil, for example) suggesting that a race is evil and will always be hostile. The whole game is basically a conflict between races of players (humanlike) and monsters (devils, beasts, demons, dragons etc).
It wasn't until we let moral busybodies infest it that they fully infect it but... good news is on the horizon.
D&D's playership is dropping - as we expected, the pronoun people are more interested in asserting dominance and less interested in the game itself, they're moving on to other things while the sweaty D&D nerds are still declaring race wars every day in their renovated nerd-garages with their high school friends.
Candace Owens is still a liberal and will pull the veil off one year and declare that the entire conservative movement was a sham because of how easily she was able to infiltrate it by being black and just saying dumb things.
Conservatives ought to start gatekeeping a little better.
Really don't get the Trump tax thing.
The IRS has his taxes. If they were illegal, they'd know, and trust me, they're Obama's IRS, they've looked.
If there was any inkling those tax reports had a single fucking transposition error, it would have been "leaked" and been on the news 24/7 breaking breaking for the last four years.
Seriously, just drop the god damn tax thing already.
I work in a place with almost all men. My wife works in a place with almost all women.
When I go to work, we talk about the job, getting things done, keep conversations short and factual, and share information for the purpose of succeeding at the job site. Then we go home.
At my wife's work, coworker #1 is plotting against #3 in league with #2 and forming a clique with #4 and says such mean things about #5 and makes #6 feel unwelcome while #7 is actually with #8 and #9 and are gunning for a promotion by getting close to the boss. Then she goes home.
Having worked as the only male in an all-female workplace, it really is petty wars and micro-crimes and passive-aggression and multiple wars of attrition, and in an all-male one, it literally is all about productivity and results.
Got permabanned in the Edmonton sub by joking that it couldn't have been the jab that caused it it was probably a stroke or something because if it was the jab she'd have died.
