Millions of Nazis were permanently cured of fascism through the noble efforts of the Allies. :)

But bussy is an incredibly useful and versatile addition to the lexicon

The kids are alright.

Other than their cringey Fortnite obsession. Damn, maybe I should vote to fuck their future over, just for that....

I was into politics at 11, but I was a libertarian then (mega-cringe).

Funny enough, the youth vote used to be hotly disputed between liberal and conservative candidates. Nixon won the youth vote in 72, Reagan in 80 and 84, before the "Fuck everyone not alive right now" effects of his administration kicked in for the incoming generations. The 20 years of neoliberalism in the 80s and 90s erased all incentive for the youth to support the status quo, and now conservatives are wondering why they're unpopular with the kids.

Damn, I feel that in my soul. Edgy centrist 13 year-old me and edgy nihilist 15 year-old me would be aghast at the bleeding-heart liberal I became.

Generally, what it used to be is that people got more liberal as they got older, but society became more liberal faster.

Nowadays, millennials are getting older and mostly keeping up with liberal trends because we have so little invested in the status quo to slow us down from changing with the times. Amongst other factors.

It started an arms race, with the mice getting stronger bulletproof vests and the humans replacing the trap with ever-bigger guns.

As someone who left religion, but has a pretty good memory of what it was like, didn't really make any big difference in my life, other than getting my Sundays actually free.

"If you have to kill someone - if you have to - is it somehow better to do it clean with a bullet through the head? Is it somehow worse to chop them up with an axe? And what if you have to kill ten, or a hundred, or a thousand? What if in doing it you save a thousand, or you spare ten? What if you save yourself? What is the measure of a man - or of his murder? By what insane calculus can we answer questions like these? Should we even try?" - Far Cry 2

"I don't want to get better. I want to get worse." - Disco Elysium

You must be the change you wish to see!

Yeah, I lost all respect for Jacobin mag around the time the war started and they began "B-both sides"ing the issue. Jacobin mag can go fuck itself.

Man, nearly one-in-two people on the street have positive opinions of other right-wing chuds who are equally as vile. As far as I'm concerned, 1-in-5 is probably as close to a win as it's humanly possible to get considering our current society.

"The survey revealed that just one in five young people have a positive view of Tate, though young men were significantly more likely to have a positive view of him – 32 percent of them – than young women – 9 percent. Heterosexual young people were more likely to have a positive view of him; nearly a quarter of them said so, compared to just 5 percent of LGBTQ individuals."

You can probably jack that age limit up to the early 20s, tbqh.

I mean, we were cringe at their age. It would be more surprising if they weren't cringe.

Conservatives: "The free market is superior! Deal with it!"

Conservatives when the free market decides against them: "THIS IS LITERALLY SOCIALISM"

lmao, I remember you. Don't you have an ancient LGBT conspiracy to be chasing?
