  • I have long had head canon that Trump basically is only doing stuff to make people riot and he actually had more faith in the left’s willingness to fight back than was warranted. (Taking away abortions, trans rights, right to teach the history of slavery, “DEI”, migrant incarceration camps, deploying the army against citizen) … But like making a bill that kicks everyone off of food stamps and health care JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION… Like… I’m not saying he’s doing it if purpose, what I am saying is if he were trying to start a riot with plausible deniability would he do anything different?









  • Exactly, we’re talking about two different things when comparing children’s sports and Olympic sports and it’s easy to conflate the two.

    Olympic competition needs fair rules to ensure the best humanity can produce is rewarded. The rules are already there and they seem to be fair and supported by trans athletes. Politicians need to stay out.

    In children’s sports it’s more important kids learn skills, fitness, cooperation, and find a sense of community. So unless there is a massive outlier, the rules should maximise inclusion over “fairness”. Politicians also need to stay out.







  • That’s an uneducated take. The amount of goods and services required by a population as a whole isn’t affected by boycotts. What one company loses others will replace since they have a profit motive to do so. This requires them to hire additional labour which can easily come from what labour boycotted companies lay off.

    That’s assuming a boycott has such a large impact as to require a workforce adjustment which is basically a fantasy scenario in most cases.

    Stop convincing people into more apathy than is already plaguing us.
