This is a popular meme format among people with aphantasia… I’m assuming that’s the missing context here.
TotalBrownout [none/use name]@hexbear.netto the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net•Liberals when minorities have their own opinions:English13·1 year agoTo a liberal, expressing solidarity with others begins and ends with pressing the blue button… even when that button does 99% of what the red button does.

In the downtown cores, where demolition costs are highest, there are lots of businesses that would be willing to re-locate once rents reset. Suburban office parks are the ones that should be torn down and redeveloped.

TotalBrownout [none/use name]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•What does it take to be "middle class" in America today?English4·1 year agoThis tracks… “middle class” is an income band encompassing those who fall between 2/3 and 200% of median. The US is a terribly unequal society where something like 40% of the population falls within this band, with high degrees of wage compression near/at subsistence-level… the distribution of those within the technical "middle class skew to the low end of the range. Because poverty is best conceived in relative versus absolute terms, it’s fair to say that the “Middle America/the average person” in the US lives in poverty.
I’ve never seen anything from Thom Yorke that indicates he’s a Zionist… This looks like random shit-talk from a nobody.

Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world…
Typical liberal rag, esoteric navel-gazing only/no realpolitik allowed… There’s nothing quite as pathetic as watching a liberal wonder about the world.

It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”
What the fuck does this even mean?

Apparently this truck is going to cost millions of dollars…

So I ask you Hexbears: What is the "midwest"?English4·2 years agoWhere “inland northern English” is dominant… no southern drawl allowed.
If you are a disaffected liberal, it’s easy to believe that the world is ending… a worldview/ideology which assumes a coming apocalypse asks nothing of you. By comparison, a political project that offers a positive vison for the future but requires direct action is a heavy lift. It takes more than agit prop to inspire and move someone from the former to the latter imo.
