Anybody who says 'I guess cheap groceries are more important to you than...' is REALLY showing their privilege.
Because Yeah believe it or not, food is kinda important to most people. And if you don't think 'can I afford to eat?' Is a huge motivator for a lot people you've clearly never been in a position to ask that question
tbh, sometimes the “platonic explanation for this” is the more interesting one

Centrist Democrats are slamming their far-left colleagues following Election Day, arguing that their emphasis on "identity politics" and other issues handed huge victories to the GOP.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., argued that President-elect Trump has "no greater friend than the far left." Like-minded Democrats say racial politics, anti-police rhetoric and gender hysteria are alienating millions of voters.
"There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world," Torres wrote on X. "The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling."
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville put it more bluntly in a Sunday interview with the New York Times, calling "defund the police" the "three stupidest words in the English language."
"We could never wash off the stench of it," he said.
Torres is one of several Democratic lawmakers in both the House and the Senate who have called out his party's "nonsense." One centrist House Democrat complained to Axios on Monday that the "identity politics stuff is absolutely killing us."
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., argued on Sunday that Democrats are "out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA."
"We don't listen enough; we tell people what's good for them. And when progressives like Bernie aggressively go after the elites that hold people down, they are shunned as dangerous populists. Why? Maybe because true economic populism is bad for our high-income base," Murphy wrote.
Not all Democrats are ready to make a change, however. When Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., broke with his party to condemn biological males playing in women's sports last week, he faced an avalanche of hate.
"Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face," Moulton said in a New York Times report. "I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that."
The statement resulted in calls for Moulton to resign, and at least one of his staffers quit in protest.
Massachusetts state Rep. Manny Cruz suggested Moulton's stance was "a betrayal" in a post on X.
"Congressman Moulton, your commitment then was protecting the LGBTQ community, standing up for their rights, and compassion. Now, on a political whim, our Congressman has betrayed the words he signed onto just last year by scapegoating transgender youth in sports for the failures of the national Democratic Party and leaders to win the presidential election. You said you 'would stand with Nagly and with all our community … against all forms of bigotry, discrimination, bullying, and harassment,'" Cruz wrote.
Salem city Councilor Kyle Davis, another Democrat, called for Moulton to resign.
"I’m not looking for an apology from [Moulton], I’m looking for a resignation," Davis wrote in a post on X.
Moulton refused to apologize and instead doubled down in a statement late last week.
"I will fight, as I always have, for the rights and safety of all citizens. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive, and we can even disagree on them. Yet there are many who, shouting from the extreme left corners of social media, believe I have failed the unspoken Democratic Party purity test," he said.
"We did not lose the 2024 election because of any trans person or issue. We lost, in part, because we shame and belittle too many opinions held by too many voters and that needs to stop. Let’s have these debates now, determine a new strategy for our party since our existing one failed, and then unite to oppose the Trump agenda wherever it imperils American values."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
As a 30 year old man who escaped the Alt-right pipeline, you're not going to be happy about the answer.
All I hear from leftists is how much they hate me for my immutable traits, how much they blame me for everything wrong with the world, how much they want me and everyone who looks like me dead.
Whereas Alt-right types would call me "brother" and welcome me into their ranks so long as I hated the right ways.
Do you understand the difference?
I'm an ally and support equality because I feel it's the morally correct choice to make, but holy fuck is it difficult to reconcile that with the fact that means fighting for a lot of people who see you as the scum of the earth.
Read this and then read it again and then read some fucking bell hooks because this is a legitimate problem on the left.
"To create loving men, we must love males. Loving maleness is different from praising and rewarding males for living up to sexist-defined notions of male identity. Caring about men because of what they do for us is not the same as loving males for simply being." - bell hooks, The Will to Change https://bellhooksbooks.com/product/the-will-to-change/
funny how women dont turn to fascism and rightwing politics in masses because of the hatred and discrimination we are and have been faced with for centuries 🤨
Seriously, why are men so easily brainwashed? A Nazi calls you "brother" and you're all in??? Maybe have some principles and grow a damned spine?!!
The particular population of men swinging into conservatism is the youngest generation. These are high school and middle school aged kids growing up in an educational environment where they're disadvantaged on the basis of their sex and in which women largely hold the power—see the underperformance of young men in education. These men will encounter misandrist rhetoric over the course of their youth, either rehashed and compiled by conservative mouthpieces or stumbled across in the wild, which seems to say that they are responsible for the ills of women around them and they are the oppressor class.
Of course women don't turn right-wing en-masse on account of discrimination; they wouldn't turn to the side of their antagonists. Similarly young men turn to the right because they feel antagonized by the left—framed for a patriarchy they didn't install. They feel they're being punished for their immutable characteristics, and the loudest consolation is only coming from the lip of the right-wing pipeline. What remains except to embrace reality as it is, and abuse the system for their benefit? Clearly women don't care about them (as they will often hear voices from the left say, 'Haven't women been nice enough to men already/women don't owe men anything') and with the understanding that women are remorseless about them, why should they feel any remorse for women?
And so they fall. You push them into the trap, then you blame them for falling in. You may think your online musings are just screaming into a void, but they're not. Anyone can read it. The right wing will use your hate against you. The right wing will use your hate to turn men across the world against you. Mind what you post.
Women have literally been subjugated and oppressed for MILLENIA. Men don't get spoon-fed for a few years and allofasudden it's everyone's fault BUT the men! Girls are doing better in school because they're working harder. Women are getting more degrees because we are hauling ass.
The world still gives men easy access to everything they want and y'all STILL fail?? That's no one's fault but your own.
@aqueous2 if you have nto reported to the authorities the neonazi group you know of you are not an ally. go be a nice fucking human and report those people
The recent underperformance of male students is better tied to the rise of neoconservativism than the subtle presence of some liberal feminism in society. Ten plus years ago, when edgy tumblr feminism was still going strong, male students were still scoring higher than females in STEM. Teachers have always been mostly women because of schools' association with childcare. So what actually shifted?
What we've seen is a return to an oppositional culture against education. This crabs in a bucket mentality towards "nerds" who want to improve their station via a career is aimed at and promoted mainly by working class boys just like how it was around the real y2k.
Or, and here me out now, maybe the problem is that men don't want to be a part of a movement filled with people who despise them for being born like all the radfems ^^^? Maybe a decade of being told that you're the problem because you're a man isn't the way to change society? Just a thought.
I'm going to respond to the sentiment that "Women don't get radicalised by oppression" here.
Yes they do, what do you think the particular form of borderline misandrist form of Feminism that is still somewhat popular on Tumblr is?
I still remember this mug, or the number of women, cis and trans who would casually say "men are trash" and then say it's just a joke when called out on it.
My first memory of "It's just a joke" which made seeing the Right adopt it in the post-Gamergate internet a bizarre experience.
Then the general reputation of "Male Feminists" being sex pests or worse made me get it. If they're supposed to be the good ones, no wonder there was a culture of Misandry in certain Feminist spaces. And gave me a level of contempt for any man who's too vocally progressive.
not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I'd go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.
bringing the ancient meme back
really glad to see hate for this concept.
count me among the haters. i've been a hater since i first encountered this conflation of many different well-defined concepts into one ill-defined one
it's part of the general trend of hiding the inner workings of computers from the user, which is something i hate since it tends to promote computer illiteracy which tends to promote incompetence and dysfunction in society as a whole
It's just awful that many young people now don't know what a filesystem is or how to interact with it. Even within mobile app, it's still there, hiding in the background. It's an important and foundational concept within operating systems and we are intentionally obscuring and hiding it (along with many other things) to be "easier".
The thing is, making something superficially simpler does not make it simpler when you aren't actually reducing complexity. And complexity is everywhere, you cannot simply hide it and hope it goes away.
Sure, you should abstract things to make them easier to comprehend. But when you have a leaky abstraction (something you should avoid yet expect to happen), your system should bubble up relevant information so you can learn enough of the actual underlying system to begin searching for a solution. Or at least help the user be aware of the new depth of complexity they have just been exposed to.
Instead we get "OOPSY! Fucky wucky error! 🐰"
Even "The Design of Everyday Things," which is hailed by many as being the bible of good design, specifically says that an error code should explain how to fix the error (if possible) to non-technical people. It's just shitty design.
Can someone explain to me the me what's the difference between "immigrants are taking our jobs" and "AI is taking our jobs"? Because I don't see how one can be true, but not the other Either both are true, or neither is.
