It came to the US by way of Dutch immigrants, so yeah.

I swear the N-VA fundamentally doesn’t believe that the future beyond the next quarterly reports even exists.

Imo 4chan stands alone in how bad it is, but I see your point.

[–] randomname01 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.

Also, what a lot of people seem to be missing is that this only works because of rampant hypocrisy among traditional parties. They promise time and again to make life better, to make work pay, to do this and that but they always fail because they’re neoliberals - whether they are lying or just fundamentally wrong doesn’t really matter.

This then allows far right wingers to swoop in and use a lot of the same underlying logic the traditional parties use, but without the hypocrisy. They just need to swap the hypocrisy out for hate towards minority groups.

This is a lot easier than the alternative left wing parties offer, which is fundamentally not aligned with the traditional parties in the West.

Having seen it around, I absolutely hate this screenshot. The implicit message is that 4chan was/is actually good and cool, while that hasn’t been the case for a while (if it ever was). Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts, but the point that the site is utter trash is true.

/mu/ used to be good tho

That’s the thing though, right? Something needing a change doesn’t imply any and all changes being good.

Top 1% is 80 million people, and there are a lot more than 80 million people living in western countries. I see your basic point, but the math doesn’t work out.

They’re more portable, lighter and arguably perfect for media consumption on the go. Add a decent detachable keyboard and it’s all the computer quite a few people will ever need.

Just depends on how you use your pc.

Don’t get me wrong, a class first approach is probably the most effective way to reduce hate and bigotry on a societal level. My only point was that it isn’t the only thing that’s necessary to completely eliminate it.

…you’re talking as if you’re countering what I’m saying, but you’re seemingly talking completely past me.

I don’t claim the only war is class war, nor do I think that people should stop fighting discrimination until the capital class is abolished.

Sexist attitudes won’t disappear just by abolishing the capital class, to name an example. It will definitely help though, because the capital class benefits from our current internal divisions and actively encourages it.
