The entirety of the American political spectrum is more right-leaning than the majority of the world

So certain of that, isn't he

Oh this thread's going to go over well

[benjipwns]

while Obama specifically didn't "work with Nazis", he often found compromise from the same party that demonized him and later supported said Nazis

[agrajag]

that's true. But I am not talking about who his character was based on, but moreso who he was targeting. You gotta be crazy to think that if the Colbert Show was still running it wouldn't be mocking the Trump administration nonstop.

Who said otherwise?

 

Pogi did

 

I even said in my first post he was lampooning conservatives. What I agreed with Benji about was the shift in primary purpose. He mocked conservatives with the primary purpose to channel his funny. Now he mocks conservatives and dresses it with some limited humor for the primary purpose of mocking conservatives. IMO, humor was first and foremost on Colbert Report, even though the right was always the target. Now politics seems to be first and foremost.

shut up and agree with me that you're wrong Pogi

Rich people don't have to worry about money whereas a college grad making low six-figures still has to budget, save, finance cars etc. etc.

Oh fuck off with this shit.  Yeah, trying to survive on minimum wage sucks, but I was able to do fine for myself once I got some real experience and was able to get jobs around $12/hour, which is a little under $25K a year.  Of course, I didn't have the latest iPhone, all the new games, was eating within a budget and cooking at home, living in a small apartment, etc. If you're not an idiot and don't run up huge high interest credit card payments, $100K a year is more than enough to live well outside of inflated places like Manhattan.

They don't want to change shit, they just want carte blanche to act like a cunt to people online while pretending they're fighting the good fight, not just being an obnoxious miserable shit like they wanted to be anyway.

Eras dirty little secret is that they couldn't be fucking happier Trump got the presidency, it gives them a daily dose of fauxtrage.

[benjipwns]

It's probably in part because wages have stagnated. 100k isn't going to get you what it did 20-30 years ago

Yeah, that might be a more proper framing for the userbase.

I like the locations deflections though... maybe the fact that you live in a decent house in San Fran in the first place, is a sign you're rich?
If someone from a 3rd world country called me rich, because i have running water and internet, i wouldn't argue against it.

Yeah I was just talking about this with some people the other day

Income taxes vary by state just like living expenses, often in the same way, more costly in richer areas

You're making almost $10,000 a month but maybe paying 2-4000 a month for rent

Then someone in the midwest makes $3000 a month but maybe pays 5-700 a month for rent, similar ratio

But you're both paying the same $300 for that sweet, sweet Nintendo Switch

No, they're wrong, it has nothing to do with wages stagnating. Inflation is a separate unrelated mechanism. I won't even get into the things not available for purchase 30 years ago.

Alright, I thought your "what" was in response to "100k isn't going to get you what it did 20-30 years ago". And that's a true statement. You're right that wages stagnating is a different thing.

From the socialism thread

It’s getting obvious that we’re being stamped out one-by-one. The dream goal for ERA’s administration is trying to make an HQ for centre-left types that wouldn’t dare think of criticizing the bourgeoise liberalism that got us into this political hell.

Shit, even GAF wasn’t afraid to push back on neolib bullshit when Bernie was running.

Besides the fact that this is probably true, I think it's mega ironic that the historical development of this thread has ended in paranoia about account assassinations, as well as advice to never enter a room without a friend

Thread skews ultra-leftist / libsoc, so I guess it's ironic that they ended up like groups to their right, but you probably didn't mean ironic that way.

remember when a Steam thread wasn't allowed because it's not a platform, but now you have to respect others storefront preferences

I like how Steam was shoved into a catch-all PC gaming thread, but now Epic Games Store has its own dedicated thread.

Also, I laughed quite a bit at this post from the Steam free key generation thread:

Not only does Steam not let you use their servers and all of the benefits of Steam for 100% free without listing your game on Steam, Gabe doesn't even come to your house and perform weekly fellatio. Frankly, it's unjustified.

Politics are tribal. Other candidates are a threat to the tribe. It's not confusing at all-- especially when Bernie was very populist.

I think for a lot of conservatives, this is going to be a major dilemma going forward. There's the kneejerk contempt for intellecutalism and the "nerd stuff" that arises from it, like the Internet, smartphones, and a massive, totally convenient, communication infrastructure. And yet, these tech conveniences are so convenient, that despite the fact they're "stupid nerd stuff" they use them anyway, but their contempt for "nerd things" means they never bother to understand the limits/risks of that tech, and leave themselves wide open to these type of blunders that get caught. And their only response after getting caught out on a technical blunder is, "Stupid nerds... Always ruining everything..."
