… which means nobody learned a gotdamn thing ~signed Gen X’er

I remember this meme when it was Gen X and Millennials . . . 

Years ago, Dinesh discovered the secret formula to his brand: comparing liberals to Nazis and slaveowners (while also defending confederate soldiers), and denying the existence of any racism on the right, despite having written an article against affirmative action while a student in Dartmouth, called “Dis Sho Ain’t…

The naysayers are on the ‘why should I listen to an irrelevant kid?’ schtick on the message boards.

Ah yes, that is grifter shitbag extraordinaire Dinesh D’Souza. D’Souza pisses me off because he’s smart enough to know he’s peddling bullshit to RWNJ rubes. 

I legit saw a tweet saying that Nazis used blonde girls with braids for propaganda pictures, therefore she’s a Nazi. Like ... sorry she has hair?

I wish I had been close to this eloquent or thoughtful as a sixteen year old. But I’ve had to stay off Twitter because even by the MAGAsphere’s standards the attacks on her have been vile. 

You want to love something about her? Take a look at the glare she gave Trumpleshitstain: https://www.thecut.com/2019/09/greta-thunberg-president-trump-hot-shot.html

The hero we need. Not the one we deserve, thank Christ.

Speaking as a parent, I hope her parents are collapsing from pride every 15 seconds or so. Speaking as a human being, Yes. Just yes.

But that’s just what Bill does, though.

Patriot way on display

You know reporters aren’t going to get a real answer to this question, especially from Belichick and the Patriots. But by the same token, everybody on the Patriots knows the question is coming, so the stare down is just rude and an attempt to bully.

It’s a damn shame that society has come to the point where we’re expected to listen to women when they accuse men of sexual assault. And even when the men are really good at football!

It’s really shitty when people say, “Well I pay a lot more so they should as well”. Bullshit. Companies have been eroding employee benefits for years now, while shareholders profit handsomely and none of this “trickles down” to raise wages, which would help at least offset higher costs.

Unions are the only way to even approximate something of a level field between labor and capital. When you boss can just drop your healthcare, how much bargaining power do you really have?

Don’t begrudge others their benefits. Instead, ask where yours are. If you’re like most people, you’ll find them located in a rounding error at the bottom of an executive’s pocket lint.

So what is the plan as automation takes over and there are no longer any paying jobs? I’m a fairly nihilistic person but just letting people die of starvation and exposure is too dystopian even for me.

Neutral: Fuck GM and fuck shareholder profits. American auto companies were built on their workers, and the executives used to understand that by offering fair pay, healthy benefit packages, and a reasonable distribution of profits.

I think what pisses me off is how Hollywood bigwigs from George Lucas to AMC have repeatedly screwed over Frank Darabont, a man with a credit of Oscar-calibre films with Oscar nominations.
