It's definitely possible, the at the door photo and immediate 'go home' meme definitely made my 'well wasn't that convenient' radar go off. I am 50-50 on it right now. Either way it is good to see that the people have protocols in place for another right-wing coup.

Yeah, this kinda jargonic shit is pretty typical for your average liberal arts text. I'd love to read the studies they are citing, cause I will guarantee that there is a lot of editorializing going on here. Notice how the 'Men's coping... authoritarian communist rule' is completely uncited. The sections before and after are cited, but that part is stuck in there to make it look like it's supported, but I would make a safe bet that neither study actually says that because if they did, they would quote the study's author directly. Also notice how that trend continues through the page.

I had this kind of problem all the time when I did my liberal arts degree and my grade would suffer for it depending on the professor. Never enough to get a 'C', but I am legitimately getting better grades in my engineering classes now because I don't have to deal with this level of interpretative, editorialized and adhoc bullshit. Shit's tough, especially if you actually take the science seriously, unlike a lot of these authors.

The mistake he made was thinking that 'everything is for sale' especially in small towns. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your perspective), in these small towns you have to earn friendship through years of casual sexism and racism, and if someone comes in and starts buying up property but not interacting with the community, they will find themselves having all kinds of 'trouble' very quickly. The real key is to buy something in the dilapidated downtown, then renovate it completely, make it look nice, and sell, idk, 'antiques' out it. Then the city won't care if you use your property outside the town as a hazardous waste site or whatever.

It's the U.S. any morality or empathy that you can develop in your teens and college is quickly and decisively stripped away from you by the universalized and all-pervasive corporate culture. People mistake it as a generational thing, and while some aspects are, contempt for the kids is consistent.

The liberal narrative is usually 'Thank god we killed all those people before they killed anyone else.'

Ah so they are finally admitting that Iran's attack was successful?

Ladies, Ladies, stop fighting, there's enough Daddy Warbucks to go around for everyone!

I keep seeing this 'One-size-fits-all' as an insult. Yes, in fact, having a plan and sticking to the plan with moderate variation is a good idea. Noone has ever said that 'one-size-fits-all', but some plans have actually idk, accomplished something?

Lol I remember that... Oh man what was it called, something about dark intellectualism or some such nonsense? Yeah they are on about getting the bag. It really is just bourgeoisie liberal feminism masquerading as conservative values. Very funny stuff.

The interesting thing is that there is evidence of Jewish settlement in Egypt (after the Exodus supposedly happened), but the evidence suggests that the community was composed of relatively wealthy administrators.

One of the jokes of existential comics is that your average gym bro holds themselves to a higher standard of academic rigor than your average academic philosopher.

You basically summed it up.

It's more like once the money dried up for the socialist and progressive movement outside of some podcasts and the DSA, Dasha and Anna just decided to jump onto the next easiest band-wagon, which in the New York arts scene is Alt-right but hot because we're ironic about it and everyone involved does cocaine and has money. Then Dasha got a bit part in Succession, and now has really leaned into the trad-Cath.

At this point they are basically on the same tired hot-girl podcast grind, except instead of petty DSA stuff it's petty NY art scene and weird religious grievances stuff. They are just provocateurs and trend followers at heart.
