  • Yes, SJW is for concentrated Reddit Brains only and anyone who doesn’t “Bazinga” the dumbest shit ever and/or has ever read a book in it that didn’t contain magic or dragons is going to destroy that wonderful sense of hyper-Reddit culture and “intellectualism” that I need to feel like I’m in a group of my peers. Most of us are here because we’re too big of losers for even Reddit and only came here because our favorite apps were removed that made it harder to manage my 4 “throwaway” accounts I needed because even with complete anonymity I’m still (rightfully) ashamed to be known as myself.







  • The short answer is Americans are fucked. The slightly longer: While there may be a slight improvement in savings from 2020 to 2023, there was a point where people were trending upwards in savings before it took a dive down and stagnated, which people both will notice and rightly be upset with. This fact is more significant to the population.

    That is, being “I got up to 3k in my savings two years ago and thought I was finally getting ahead and now it’s down to 2.2k because of life.” Is more meaningful to a person than “Well three years ago you had 2k and now you have 2.2k after those three years of trying to save, you’re doing better, guys, better appreciate Biden’s economy”

    Or: losing 800 dollars over 2 years means more to a person’s psyche than gaining 200 over 3 years.






  • No, he asked if they were objectively good in that war, which they weren’t even fucking close. At best they were a grey-moralist lesser of two evil, but the fact you conflate that with “good” is exactly why you’ll never comprehend any situation with any nuance. In your mind it’s always “WW2 USA GOOD GUYS SAVED WORLD” like some lead-poisoned brain damaged boomer desperately trying to live voraciously through low-rent nationalist propaganda. I’d say, yes, America was the lesser of two evils compared to Nazi Germany and Japan, and the fact that’s the closest you can get to “good” and the political parties you need to compare yourself to, to look better in comparison to someone, proves Infamousblt’s point.

    The closest to “objectively good” America’s actions has been in a situation is “well, it’s not as bad as letting Nazi Germany take over all of Europe” and that’s not good, that’s horror.
