Did they mention race at all? I might’ve missed it. Bet that would yield more “surprising” results

In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. As a descriptor term, reactionary derives from the ideological context of the left–right political spectrum. As an adjective, the word reactionary describes points of view and policies meant to restore a status quo ante.

As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics; the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present. In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

Reactionary ideologies can be radical in the sense of political extremism in service to re-establishing past conditions. To some writers, the term reactionary carries negative connotations—Peter King observed that it is “an unsought-for label, used as a torment rather than a badge of honor.”

Sure but what’s their excuse? Is everyone simply a huge Meta investor? That’d be my best guess for how multiple people try to achieve something like this without looking at the consequences - personal gain. But I’m still inclined to believe these politicians/surrogates want to do a decent job and/or get re-elected

For sure. I just wonder why no one could see this coming. I get Biden is old as shit and ignorant af, but isn’t there supposed to be a team informing him on shit? I mean, guess the same goes for all the congress(wo)men that supported such a stupid, irrational policy

What absolutely atrocious politics

Is there one with an algorithm that comes even half as close?

I don’t use it much but I’ve never used an app with as good an algorithm. Maybe Instagram comes close

Fuckkkk!!! Not my vitamin gummies!

Oh shit another one! lol. I totally understand how landlines work, but thanks for trying to help. It still doesn’t really make sense in the context of a file download being interrupted though. Only the first person to pick up would be interrupting it

Regardless, “moms” is absolutely a word. Y’all just don’t know/use it. I understand your logic, so there’s no need real to explain it. What’s amusing is the jump to believing it’s a whole other thing instead of just a nickname you don’t know/have yet to learn

Like, I mean, some folks in the south (or east) call their grandparents meemaw. That was a new one for me. Not the exact same, but you get the idea

Logic seems sound. lol. You’re most likely right. No need to look into it further, really

lol. This is adorable

How wud two people pick up a phone tho?

That’s hilarious. lol

I don’t like your take. It’s not cynical or pessimistic enough

You and what army?

I mean, like are you from Iran another country likely to attack them or something? Who do you see attacking Israel, in that scenario

I didn’t downvote you, btw. Just wondering which one of us is more confused here. lol. No hate

What if I have access to TJ doctors? Any downsides? Scars or whatnot?

Just asking for a friend. Don’t tell him I asked

Idk, I just don’t understand the sentiment behind ‘I hope everyone dies’

Apparently some prefer to wish death on literally everyone else.

Fuck depression, but fuck that even more

If it could only take out the suicidal people, that’d be pretty great

lol. Just turned 34 recently and was able to stay up all night while on vacation.

Def not something I do regularly but the biggest secret I’ve found is to have at least a drink or two a week (that sometimes puts me to sleep now lol). Then when I need to drink late/all weekend I actually can! I normally just smoke we’d

I do tend to stay up kinda late normally, tho

Thank god this isn’t me!

Now I’m just wondering how Europeans and Latin Americans regularly stay up late and start dinner at like 11pm while others seem to have issues talking to a friend after 7pm. lol

No? What did I say that made you think I’m a trump supporter? I’m criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.

No? I’m honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war. The parallel throws me off because the point I’m making is Dems are maybe not “just as racist” as Rs but the fact they’re proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations. let me know if you think I’m totally off). There’s certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I’m the South. That’s how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.

I am absolutely not doing what you’re saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I’m trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That’s it. That is gross, to me. I think it’s bad philosophy and atrocious politics. We’re not in a civil war, we’re discussing how our fellow citizens voted not how they shot at our kids. Wait, it’s not even that. We’re simply discussing Americans that didn’t know anything.

Here’s my silly accusatory question: Our people didn’t vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?

Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It’s a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)
