Well the fact is that we tried “vote blue no matter who” and it failed. The dems won’t even bot do genocide so what’s the point? That’s how less engaged people think, the ones who aren’t debating politics online. Voting for Chuck schumer isn’t gonna fix anything
America would burn if he tried to draft people to invade Canada
I mean he is going to do that, and the recovery won’t come to those places because they’re already economic dead ends. We need to focus on getting people who aren’t MAGA out and let them rot in the misery they bring in themselves. History is full of ghost towns, we’re just going to see some more that’s all. The rest of America will be able to recover and ditch these nonsense people and their broken politics
A lot of those places are too far gone. We need to take away their economic power so that they can’t hurt the rest of them as much. 1/3 of this country is just gone and we need to realize we need to leave them behind and save the people who live next to them aren’t total pieces of shit
I honestly think of that single board computers should be more common part of education. That’s what the Raspberry Pi was originally envisioned as, a very cheap thing you could equip a whole classroom with to teach them coding, inspired by the BBC micro or whatever it was called that they had back in the '80s. A good way to get people over that fear is to give them something small they basically can’t break and even if they do mess it up they can easily restored and they probably didn’t lose much of value anyways.
Computers were definitely way less popular, and if you are an office worker you not only had the Baseline level of Education of an office worker but you probably received Technical training, and there was probably an IT department who could help. You might have also only know in just the things you specifically need for your job
You’re not really wrong, but at the same time having technical knowledge is essential to getting us out of the tech dystopia big corporations have us trapped in, and a lot more computer knowledge would not only help people be more productive but it would help them make better choices about the stuff they use. One would assume that as computer technology only becomes more essential to our lives that interest in the technical side would follow, and it doesn’t seem to have been the case as much as we are expecting. I mean your average Generation Z person understands that you have to connect your computer to the internet to use the web browser and they’re capable of turning the device on but there doesn’t seem to be an easy on-ramp from the basic knowledge of how to operate the thing to more advanced topics. I wouldn’t even say I’m all that good and I did half a computer science degree
I feel like a lot more people be comfortable using the terminal if the text displayed when it was first opened gave you a list of commands to try. There is a very steep initial learning curve immediately which discourages experimentation, and I think that with a little bit of effort you could get a lot of people over that hump and then they could enjoy terminal Bliss.
the only way we’re getting in is if we agree to be construction workers, given the housing problems up there
we all need to hurry up and do it already
I wouldn’t be surprised if they just started tear gassing them on arrival. freedom of assembly is dead and these are the exact people they’re starting to disappear already. we need people like them fighting but they can’t be going in with their phones on them or maskless
I wish them all the best of luck. They should go in prepared for the worst, because at this point being a prophousing protestor affords you the same rights you would have in a place like China when protesting the government. People should plan accordingly with their precautions.
Indeed but it helps and doesn’t involve urban planning changes or anything that would take serious construction effort
That makes sense. The counterculture also wasn’t one unified thing.
The stupid part gets more electoral college votes per capita and the smart part is stuck with a corpo middle manager party that’s resistant by design to any leftward shift (see Bernie 2016 & 2020)
I think this time will be different because there isn’t a “normal” to go back to because it’s literally not there anymore. You can’t have a career or a family or ow. A house like you used to. The right wants tradwives but not to pay a man enough his wife can bot have to work and that’s why that shit isn’t going anywhere. Society is going to have to change a whole lot and not backwards
The internet should help with this, but we need to run our own stuff and not use corpo websites
The counterculture was the first wave of America becoming left and it was brutally supressed in the Reagan counterrevolution. We’re arguably more left per capita today but it’s entirety extraparlimentary
People weirdly think everyone was a hippie. Truth is most people were squares and those people still are
