Most filthy rich people don't watch it I'd say. It's literally made for idiots.

The way to remember if it's "principal" or "principle" is that the one that's a person is your princi-pal.

I don't know, have you seen it lately? It's a Fixer Upper.

Preach! I still consider myself to be a moderate or centrist as a leftist libertarian (social progressive and fiscal conservative), and also haven't believed Republicans were actual fiscal conservatives since Bush Jr. They have been only social conservatives since arguably at least Regan. Still pissed off that insane Ayn Rand utopian individualists and Christian Nationalists became the entire libertarian movement.

And that's just the economics of the gains; completely forgoing the cumulative costs burdened upon society by climate-change (increased heating/cooling-costs, early deaths because of pollution, crops failing and the mass-migration as a result of that). Continuing with fossil fuel is very very dumb if you look at the medium to long term.

True, although we shouldn't pretend that the cost for building a coal mine or developing an oil field is more single use than a solar farm or wind turbine. Many oil wells and coal mines operate for decades with relatively small operational costs after initial build out. Time in production difference is not statistically significant enough to make that a linchpin argument.

The jobs created by solar and wind in R&D, manufacturing, and construction and maintenance, along with most importantly the carbon emissions benefits are the most relevant economic points. Nuclear should also be part of the Green New Deal, but fossil fuel companies successfully fear mongered that sector to death.

Faux news doesn't have one already?

That's just the default if you ask GPT to generate "Palestine Icon" with no descriptors.

Well those things are obviously bad, if they weren't, their "team" wouldn't fight so hard against it!

The problem ain't gonna die itself away. We must fight.

And teach. We're fighting ignorance and intolerance. We all gotta learn

I've been hearing that the Republican Party will wither from attrition as they all die off for 50 fucking years. We should be free of them by now, but instead they've taken over everything.

I always tell people to remember back to that first big protest in Chancellorville, when all those neo-Nazi fuckwits marched in with their tiki torches, chanting "Jews will not replace us". ALL those weenies were under 40 years old. Rush Limbaugh and all the other psychopathic propagandists have been great at recruiting and indoctrinating new psychopaths into their ranks, and replacing all the old psychopaths that finally got dragged to Hell.

Thinking in labels is inherently dualistic thinking. The brain processes entanglements, and it is möbiated entanglements, that which the Buddhists called "defiled" that manifest the illusion of the self. This is giving a string a half-twist to create dualistic dichotomy (inner/outer). A form of möbiation that would take a minute to explain, but can be summed up in the phrase orthogonal relativity, and this picture, is what allows the brain to process an eleven dimensional topological matrix. Yer a knot, Neo. Enlightenment is being the effect before the cause - developing your prefrontal cortex to predict and outclass the animal parts of the brain, and resolving all karmic debt to demöbiate all your mind back into a unified field of entanglements.

This is sorta the same defense as "#NotAll(X)". Because, like, yeah, obviously there are plenty of older progressives. But... The issue at hand here is one of power. Older generations have more wealth on average and hold more conservative views on average. It's sorta on them to use their positions to make lives easier on those younger and less fortunate than themselves, and unfortunately for the rest of us, they are less likely to do so. And I say this with a boomer grandma doing her fucking best protesting outside ICE facilities.

To pretend there isn't an age bias is silly. To pretend there is only an age bias is also silly. But it does exist, interrelated to wealth and power disparities that everyone is suffering from. So, you know, fuck boomers. If you don't like hearing that, then really reflect on what that says about you.

In closing, yeah, the problem won't simply die away, but I ain't gonna pretend it doesn't help, even if it isn't every boomer's fault.

Twas the Homer Simpson generation, meanwhile we're all Frank Grimes

How about getting a single DUI will absolutely ruin your life? I'm so paranoid about drinking that I NEVER drink when I'm out for dinner. If a cop pulls me over, I want to be able to say "I haven't had a single drop to drink."

Besides, what's wrong with people drinking less? Not smoking and drinking are two of the best things you can do for your life. This guy wants young people to fuck up their lives, so that he feels better about fucking up his?

While I agree with this depiction of the older demographics, it leaves out the "values" that Fox News viewers are propagandized into accepting.

They believe we live in a meritocracy, government should leave them alone, America is a great nation, and everyone has to earn their way in life. These "values" allow older Republicans to take pride in their lives and the younger Republicans blame themselves (or immigrants/minorities/etc) for their lack of success.

That gives me a glimmer of hope, that the boomers dying off (and some of us Xers) will allow the Overton window to shift again away from tribalism and towards mutualist values.

It is curious though, since the silent generation and greatest generation both had a sense of legacy, e.g. planting trees knowing you will not live to feel their shade. I wonder if it's related to the rise of consumerism and the disposable product economy.
