givesomefucks , to Work Reform in The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state

No shit…

It’s state averages so it’s not going to be enough for the most expensive areas in any of the states. That’s how averages work

And yet people single her out all the time for their hatred. Between her and the hate surrounding Greta (which is also weirdly prevalent on Lemmy), it’s hard to see it as anything more than just hating young women who speak up, and wind up being wildly successful at doing so

I feel like there’s a lot of accounts on Lemmy that are larping so people believe the bullshit horseshoe theory is real.

It’s the only rational explanation for lemmygrad and similar instances.

givesomefucks , to Politics in AOC leads call for federal ethics investigation into Clarence Thomas

It’s always disappointing when people shit on the few politicians who are actually trying to help because there’s not enough of them to win…

AOC is out there bringing this stuff up and motivating younger generations to get involved in politics, and it’s working.

So it’s really hard to believe all the people who claim to be on the left but spend all their time shitting on the ones trying and not the ones who won’t even talk about it.

Nah, but there’s always the block button…

Although from your profile it seems like you get banned pretty often and I’ll have to block you again later.

House reps make like 175k to maintain a primary residence (for her NYC) and one in DC…

She’s not broke, but she’s not crazy rich either.

And I’m confused, if she was rich, why would her pushing for wealth equality be bad?

On a completely unrelated note:

Anyone else have recommendations for an instance that doesn’t federate with lemmygrad or lemmy.ml?

This shit is getting old

givesomefucks , to Politics in AOC leads call for federal ethics investigation into Clarence Thomas

AOC has a platform. There are millions of people who are ready to march on her command. She could use that instead of writing letters.

It sounds like you’re saying she should pull a trump?

Or you greatly overestimate how much a peaceful protest would change the minds of Clearance Thomas or the “moderates” running the Dem party…

I mean, she’s literally using her platform right now

givesomefucks , to Politics in AOC leads call for federal ethics investigation into Clarence Thomas

If the entire Dem party was as proactive as AOC something might happen, but they’re not.

So until progressives are in power of the party, they can’t really do anything except “perform” and raise awareness.

Why do you seem to blame the people who are trying instead of the ones who won’t even do that?

givesomefucks , to Ask Science in Why does my arm hair know when to stop (re)growing but my "head" hair or beard don't know?

Hair goes through multiple phases.

It’ll grow for a while, then fall out. Even beard/head hair. It just has a longer grow phase before falling out.

Which is why short hair grows an inch way faster than long hair does.

It’ll be like MacGruber’s notebook

Jordan Klepper went to Dallas like a month after, and there were still idiots standing around saying JFK would be back any second.

Not many, but there were still some.

I’m not underestimating fascists

They said, immediately before underestimating fascists…

Money helps, but these idiots really think they’ll overthrow the deep state so 5k in credit card debt doesn’t matter to them.

That’s more than enough for them to take a week off work and drive to wherever trump tells them to show up. Likely with guns or explosives.

Even if 99% won’t do it, that 1% of the dumbest trump supporter is still a lot of people.

You’re underestimating their stupidity, desire for violence, and complete detachment from reality.

And that doesn’t work out well historically

givesomefucks , to Politics in Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged

Nah, it’s not like they all dropped everything to go to 1/6, some missed it just because they couldn’t pay.

Three years is a long time to radicalize even more people too.

Stop underestimating fascists, it rarely ends well

givesomefucks , to Politics in Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged

It’s going to say trump has always known this, but that he didn’t want to see civil war and he knew his supporters would “stand up for what’s right” if they knew.

They’ll be no actual proof of anything.

Just the vague accusations that Biden stole the election like he’s been saying since the election

But at least some of his supporters are dumb enough they’ll do 1/6 part two to stop trump from being “silenced” by “a total nothingburger”.

Probably at least one reference to Nelson Mandela depending on who writes it.

It won’t be to convince anyone that’s not already a diehard trumpet. Just trying to instigate them to violence. trump would 100% start a civil war if he thought he’s actually going to be held accountable

givesomefucks , to Work Reform in Push For A 4-Day Work Week Picks Up Steam — And Critics

When humans went to a six day work week, the wealthy said it would end civilization.

When we went to a five day work week, they said the same.

Same as when we said overtime needs more pay, women should be paid more, 9 year olds can’t work in coal mines, and basically every other labor law from the past 10,000 years.

Don’t know why people still listen to them
