Reddit is performing propaganda for the US government (who represents the owner/wealthy class), just like most other social media or news sites.

The fact you have so many down votes is astounding to me. People really dont like to face that they may be wrong or biased about something. Easier to tap the down vote and scroll on.

His upbringing doesnt diminish his activism. The consequences for him are the same as a poor person as well.

Essentially you have it right, although I wouldnt say charities should dissolve as a rule. If there aren’t enough people to do the work with the right goal in mind though I dont think the answer is to pay more and get capitalists in the door.

I have a strong aversion to greed minded people in general though so I’m very biased here.

I think its the mentality in america of, “whatever I need to do to get ‘mine’ is good”.

Theres a reason people ask “was it worth it” about nearly everything here. I dont know how to convince people theyd be happier if greed didnt drive their values.

Cool, and you never try to understand anyone else’s point. Have you considered working as a lawyer?

Jumping to conclusions is about claiming things are or will happen without reason. You could be right and jump to a conclusion at the same time.

I will say this election didnt change who America is as a country though.

Cause its easy and fun.

Only if there is a good chance to win or settle. Validity is one part.

So smoking weed makes you throw up a bunch? Ive never heard of anyone suffering from this until now. Couldn’t you just not smoke weed? Is someone forcing you and your friends?

Then how is that relevant to bring up when talking about an elected position like the US president? Who appointed trump president again? Is it the american people?

Lol okay mr. Policeman, sir.

For my wife, it never occurred to her that she could trust tiktok influencers far less than even corporate journalists. They have to ethical requirements on tiktok, no verified sources or corrections or redactions, or any accountability at all.

I had to point that out over multiple videos, although to be fair some of the people on there do put up a front like they are legit to trick people into taking them seriously.

Ive tried to use it, my wife is on it a lot. I can get through a few videos before the constant changing bothers me and I physically feel a need to get away from it. Its to quick, too short, too shallow. My brain is wired nearly the opposite.

I think even people who use facebook know its a bad thing.

Never mind figured it out. Good job, or whatever.

He was not elected to president or chancellor however. Feel free to read the above post as you, as always, throw nuance to the wayside for brevity.

Yeah but that save could be ages ago. Took me like a month to realize you could turn on autosaves, and that still resets you back to the last loading screen.

Maybe this is just a good example of where people react differently to different things. Its hard to say what will be frustrating before it happens.

Its not simply people doing what’s best for the selves, its greedy parents who have raised greedy children who grow up thinking their job title and bank account number represent who they are. They could choose any other values to pursue in life but actively choose greed each day.

The catalyst to change oneself comes from within, so I hold people responsible who refuse to learn or change.

Its not a few. America is full of scams and exploits at literally every turn. Its in advertisements, news stories, popular TV and movies.

The point I’m making is that people think at least charities will be the exception to that rule, but they aren’t. You’d be better off donating to a non-american organization IMO.

Competent people who don’t care about the cause shouldnt take the job at all. People earning 8 figures shouldnt expect to make the same at a charity. Greed and altruism are values or qualities a person can possess and I dont think they can exist in the same person.

The United Health CEO thought he was altruistic, his family does as well. Its pretty clear the vast majority of people see greed there, not altruism.

Greedy people simply shouldnt be in charge of helping people.
