People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.

“Lawfare” meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed

“Disinformatsiya” or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.

“Sanewashing” to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.

It implies it’s a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.

Liberals complain about “sanewashsing” and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren’t exactly the fucking same as Trump.

Idk if it’s medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.

Semantic satiation

In the later books Harry gets a slave and doesn’t free him but its ok because the slave is rude.

Because 90% of jobs don’t just let you do leisure activities on the clock and doing literally anything makes time go faster than sitting around doing literally nothing.

Catholics do a bunch of stuff other Christians think makes them not Christina.

The biggest one is the pope, catholic lore says the pope is the literal spokesperson for God on earth all other religions he doesn’t have authority.

Idolatry: other Christian religions don’t have a lot of images of saints or anybody other than christ and basically think catholics are wrong for worshipping Mary and saints on the same level as Jesus. Similarly it’s the difference between catholic crucifixes (has the dead guy on them) vs regular crosses

Transubstantiation: according to catholic lore when the alter boy rings the bell that is LITERALLY the body and blood of christ you’re eating. Pretty sure other religions think this is a step too far.

Yea probably should have included the caveat tools but nothing that would benconsidered a safety device.

I’m also not buying fall prevention anything for as cheap as possible.

Good point I’d put hardware like screws and nails themselves in the same category of stuff it’s worth not getting the cheapest version of.

Tools and sports equipment especially if it’s something niche.

People shit on harbor freight but if you need a new tool or something for a hobby it’s probably not something you’re going to use often if youve already soent any significant tiem doing that hobby.

Buy the cheapest version of it and of you use it enough to either break it or figure out what parts of the design you don’t like it’s a good sign spending a little extra on a better version isn’t a waste.

Especially getting into a new hobby avoiding the urge to buy expensive shit right at the beginning because you think it’ll make you better at the thing.

Liberals stay dumb as fuck.

Ask the BLM organizers who committed suicide by shooting themselves multiple times and then setting their car on fire how secure they feel.

Or the person who published the Panama papers, whatever happened to that guy.

Setting aside all the legal reason people have outlined its important to rmeber this is America.

If a rich enough person wants you dead they’ll shoot you in the head on the front porch of your home in broad daylight in front of your neighbors and then the cops will say no crime happened and the news will say that person always lived there.

Rich people can and do act however they want without consequences and our entire judicial system is just set up as a smokescreen to point to to tell poor people that isn’t the case.

Yea I’m in a small town so I’m aware how rabid and bloodthirsty the chuds are.

I’m not voting for Biden but I also live in New York so I’m privellaged to have the option to do that meaningless protest.

I thunk your spot on with thenlocala support, generally just vote for whoever the working families party candidate is even though 90% of the time it’s the same person as the dem candidate but it’s a good way to weed out the chuds that just run as dems because this is new york.

If you avoid everyone who supports Israel in this fight you won’t have anyone to vote for.

Yea I’m aware that’s why I’m writing in hunter Biden.

After voting for people who explicitly said they dont care about my support only to be blamed for their failures I’m putting my foot down and not voting for anybody enabling a genocide.

Don’t worry I live in upstate new york so unless I literally wad up my ballot and throw it at Biden so hard he dies my vote will have literally zero effect on the presidential race and I’m aware this is a very privellaged position to have.

I’m also voting straight working families party in local elections which usually get about 80 votes and the working families party candidate is the same as the dems.

Didn’t downvote you but the only difference I’ve seen and heard about as far as how things are going for minorities is when there’s a dem president libs tell minorities to stfu because they’re making them look bad.

When there’s a republican president libs pretend to support blm, when there’s a dem president libs tell them they’re secretly republican russians.

Try telling a lib the concentration camps on the border are still a problem and you’ll get a lecture about how it’s a way more compassionate concentration camp now.

Tell liberals they have to vote for Stein because it’s her turn.

Frankly I don’t think there much boring about the genocide the corporatist is enabling.

Live in upstate new york so unless I throw my ballot at Biden so hard he dies my vote will have exactly zero effect on federal elections.

So voting for people who think public education is a positive and not communism in local elections where the differential is 12 votes and writing in Hunter Biden for president because it’s funny.

Anti intellectualism is a cornerstone of right wing politics which is gaining steam in lots of countries in Europe.

A quirky trend that was observed by assimov 43 years ago?

That’s a hell of a trend

As soon as the AIs start saying it would make the most sense to equally distribute resources and having 10 people hoarding all the wealth is bad for the economy they’re going to get some adjustments real fucking fast.

In the run up to brevity people were literally saying “were tired of listening to experts” who were saying it would be a bad idea.

Were you not around for the last 4 years when half the country decided all doctors were working together and lying?

How about our populations response to climate scientists.

Or the universally agreed on hatred for any college degree that isn’t sufficiently marketable as “worthless”

The only way I can imagine saying you’ve never seen anti intellectualism is you don’t know what you’re looking for.
