If you have been following politics from the Clinton era, then you wound have seen the progress and incremental change first hand especially regarding social rights.

Gay marriage didn’t exist. They were denied their existence in the military, and on TV.

We went from that to adding new letters to the ltgb alliance every few years. To pronouns and kinks like furries being accepted.

A black president was unimaginable. There were still people alive that experienced segregation.

Most of what you are listing are reactions to the progress. The bigots pushed back, and they won partly because they convinced us to be more cynical and divisive. To ignore and forget the progress that was made and spin as negatively as possible all the change we see.

Incremental change is moving forward 3 steps after falling back 2, not giving up because we couldn’t be at step 5 by now.

This is odd to say when the YouTube algorithm has been proven to push right wing propaganda.

This is not a conspiracy. The conspiracy is saying YouTube does this because they are right wing company.

But if you are facing mental health issues and a free or inexpensive AI that is available and doesn’t burden your friends actually helps you, do you really care about your information and being profited from?

Put it this way, if Google was being super transparent with you and said, “we’ll help treat you, and in exchange we use your info to make a few thousand dollars.” Will you the individual say, “no thanks I’d rather pay a few hundred per therapy session instead”?

Even if you hate it, you have to admit it’s hard to say no. Especially if it works.

This is a thread about “leftists” who blame Biden for Israel aid but never say a word about Congress who actually has the role and responsibility to create and vote on the aid.

The person I am replying to claims he also blames the right for these things, but not once in his comment history has he ever called them out like he calls out the left.

You “blame” the Republicans so much you never once commented about their involvement in Israel until now, when you are called out on it.

Someone has to be ambassador to China.

It’s probably going to be someone most on the left so not want.

So you choose the one that you can stomach while you have a vote.

Just to note, but even Republicans stonewalled every confirmation.

Why is this a shit post? This is like straight out of Silicon Valley.

I respect that name

Much less ok to pretend both are the same

And let’s be real, it’s ok to be emotional and want attention. That’s human.

But I’m sure this can be done, and is probably easier to accomplish by not being a nazi, which is the real issue here.
