Yeah. The DNC either don’t realise, or refuse to realise, that electing Trump is not in approval of him, but expression of disapproval of the Democratic Party.

The plague is actually what ended feudalism in Europe.

Tesla share price has been going up and down in the past couple of months. You are correct it went up 40% broadly speaking, but it is because people have just been pumping and dumping. I guarantee Tesla stocks will crash again as long as Musk is the CEO and the board of directors don’t get rid of him.

You can still short as day trade even if the overall market or stocks is going down by exploiting the price movements. But that is more stressful I must admit.

Competitors have outsold Tesla as part of boycott, so the stocks won’t go back to its peak at $400-410. What is happening is that it simply became pump and dump for most traders (I have been shorting it myself).

This is what I don’t understand. Yes, corporations pander to marginalised demographics, but I have not once seen them lose significant income or have been boycotted. Fascist corporations, meanwhile, lost customers and stocks like Target and Tesla.

Like really, who’s going broke? Methinks this is projection from the right, or disinformation from state or non-state actors alike to keep the population divided.

Oh that’s the new Wii controller.

There is a Saudi tribe that celebrate a flower festival with men wearing chained flowers over their heads.

High heel shoes originated in India as worn by horsemen to hold themselves during horse rides. The shoes then became fashionable amongst European nobility including men. Eventually, high heels became almost exclusively a feminine fashion for some reason.

A lot of gender stereotypes are really social constructs. As a multicultural man, if I am asked what does it mean to be a man, I don’t really have an answer. If one travels the globe with an open mind, they will find that a lot of their preconceptions growing up will be challenged.

DNC: I am here for the working people-- from billionaires, all the way to millionaires.

There is a book advocating for UBI, which detailed studies showing it is actually easier and cost effective to just give homeless people unconditional cash grants. Contrary to expectations, 9/10 homeless folks cleaned themselves and looked for accommodation.

I think the issue is that if you had injuries at younger age, those injuries become inflamed again as you become older. There are athletes who said their injuries become inflamed again when they hit 30’s. There are also soldiers who passed away after their old wounds became a problem again at old age. The body just can’t keep up repairing itself anymore.

However, old injuries isn’t just the only explanation. If one have hardly been sporty or did labour intensive jobs at younger age and feeling pain on the knees, it could be genetics. If not, then it is something entirely within the person’s control: overweight. I have friends who gained weight tremendously over the years even though we are only in our early 30’s. One of my friends could hardly walk for long at a pretty short distance. I reckon it is because they work from home and don’t do any exercise (some of them became too jaded and insecure over the years to go to gym), while I and my other friend work on-site so we have more physically demanding jobs and we still do exercise.

It wasn’t that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.

I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.

The people of Worcester, Massachusetts prove that the powers-that-be should not be feared.

AOC reminding Americans how to be brave. Penny auctions were a thing, which implied Americans used to be able to stand up to corrupt oligarchs and monied interests. Where is that solidarity and sentiment now? Do Americans need to be poor again altogether in order to rise up?

It is good to be exposed to dirt to build the immune system; not by doing so on literal shit.

It’s merely the worm wanting to return to its ecosystem.

I feel like we are now in Soylent Green age.

The “blue MAGA” usually refers to tone-deaf centrist Democrats who maybe socially progressive, but economically on the right. They refuse to acknowledge the ramifications of jobs outsourcing, without offering alternative jobs to replace the outsourced one, and then call the working class – who by the way used to vote Democrat-- as “stupid, imbecile and red neck Hillbillies”. Blue MAGA are also NIMBYs who tend to object to building more affordable housing because it will bring down the property value in their area.

In other words, blue MAGA believe in social justice, but think economic justice is a step too far. The working class who try to voice their genuine economic concerns, are scoffed aside as idiots and condescended by elitist blue MAGA. And then they wonder why the working class turned to right. The blue MAGA (let’s just call them neoliberals because that’s what they are actually called in the rest of the world), are just as complicit in the rise of fascism. The neoliberals don’t want their precious stocks and corporate lobby money touched and would rather see Trump and Republicans remain in office, than actually return to keeping in touch with the working class.

They just never paid attention in school.

I was half asleep and missed your second paragraph. Lol.
