The comments that already exist are pretty good but I’d like to bring up that I dont think it’s all that unique to Europe. Look at imperial Japan, for instance. I haven’t witnessed this myself, but I hear Korea has some cultural resentment towards Japan (particularly from older folk) thats not unlike how some affected cultures feel about their former European colonizers.

On average ther are 4.3 births per second, I’m not sure how that compares to in 1970 but its probably still more than 1 so its quite likely someone was born exactly on unix time 0.

Yeah I’ve felt similarly before. I agree with the other though, drinking more water helps.

True, but I dont want reddit’s shitty NSFW tagging system to distract from the important issue here

It does need better tagging but honestly thats not the issue here. This is because of the new UK law, simple as.

The middle class still works to make a living. So they are part of the working class.

Yeah this is the thing that makes me really disagree with the whole “landlords are necessarily bad” thing. A lot of them are, to be sure, and there is so much wrong with our housing market, but there should still be a place for those who wish to rent to rent. I mean just speaking for myself right now, I would not want to own a home right now, even if it was affordable. I’d like to some day but where I am at life right now I would rather rent.

I’m sure the people getting deported to concentration camps and losing their healthcare will understand that you not voting was just to save the children in gaza (oh wait, they’re dying anyway)

Edit: also are you genuinely claiming that Harris would have done all of those things that I listed? Every single one of them? Be so for real. If that’s actually where your head is at you are so unbelievably out of touch I think you’re beyond saving.

I’d say its more complicated than that but yeah absolutely that administration didn’t try to stop it, it clearly wasn’t their goal in the slightest. They did very little (though even that very little was more than the trump administration has ever done or tried to) but I’m not gonna act like Kamala Harris would have been like the fuckin savior of Gaza cause that’s just false.

However, if Harris had won the election, we would:

• not have people sent to concentration camps in El Salvador
• not have a concentration camp in the Everglades
• not have the mass militarization of ICE
• not hace the total loss of due process for immigration cases and people being kidnapped by federal officers off the street
• not have millions of people losing Medicaid
• not have the national guard marching on the streets of DC
• not have Texas gerrymandering 5 seats in the middle of the term at the president’s request
• not have the CDC, HHS, and millions of dollars in funding for research gutted
• not have environmental programs and research gutted
• not have a convicted rapist in the oval office
• not have students deported for protesting
• there’s like dozens more things that I could list tbh
• still have a genocide in gaza

I totally understand why people were really upset about that last point. I was/am too. But I have a few thoughts:

1. If you thought Trump would have been better for gazans than Harris, you’re a fucking idiot.
2. If you think those two were equally bad because of that single issue, then you’re a fucking idiot.
3. If you didn’t vote to make a point about how we need something better than those two options, you contributed far more towards Trump’s victory than you did to making that point, especially since the democratic party is full of imbeciles who will see your missing vote and interpret it as meaning they need to become more “moderate.”

No, but less is better than more
