This is just to remind myself how much I hate the NY Times and their anti-user bullshit, on top of their terrible reporting. Tried to read a recipe, but it said I had to sign in to see it. I have an account from ages go for the crossword so I logged in.

This why I will always use archive links to NY Times and never give them a fucking dime.

This is this shit our capitalists have the production system tuned to. Serving ads and trying to ensnare people into more of it, rather than making a damn pumpkin chickpea curry recipe accessible.

So now I'm realizing I need to unsubscribe to whatever it subscribed me to. I go to account settings and find an email subscriptions thing that shows every possible email list with either a plus next it to subscribe or a checkmark showing you're subscribed. You can click the plus, but not the check

Wondering if one of the keys to getting liberals to understand how people "vote against their own interests", is to get them understand how the cultural hegemony has the liberals voting against their own interests for a capitalist system.

Both sides supporting the capitalist production system that gives them no choice. Or at best a homeopathic choice diluted to irrelevance by a system where 1 or 2 people control more wealth than the entire bottom 50% of people. This is clearly "against their own interests" is it not?

Pointing out that people, who engage with politics a few hours per month, can be fooled into accepting foul behaviors with false promises is met with accusations of excuses and calls for more shame. Whatever the cause, it's certain the Democratic Party played no roll in it. Republicans are worse!

It is not excusing the racism that obviously exists to point out that other factors also obviously exist. If nothing else, the idea that it's just racism is a dead end. What do you do now if everyone is racist and there is a racist side promising them racism? Shame obviously 🙄

A couple days ago, when trying to discuss reasons why many voted for Trump against their own interests, I literally had someone yell at me something like: "The PMC are actually the only good people left!"

Instead, Libs agree with Milton Freedom's braindead claim that voting with your wallet is the closest we can get to democracy, without doing the simple math that this means a billionaire has billions more votes than you.

Now investment firms are ditching green energy, pivoting back to fossil fuels, and literally writing that it's because it was less profitable. While China has leapfrogged the entire world by focusing on producing what is needed.

They'll see stories of piss bottles covering the ground outside the Amazon facility as drivers have to dump them to avoid being punished more for making management's failure, and workers pain, visible and think about how they had to hold it in a boring meeting.

Liberals agree with Grover Norquist's lie that capitalism is about liberty, usually without knowing why they think that. Most people who have actually worked for hourly wages know how ridiculous this idea is. "Voluntary employment" is just as ridiculous as "bootstraps", but is widely accepted.
