George Jetson only worked 2 hours a week, and he could support a family of four plus a robot maid. Today’s families have two people working two jobs with the same hours as 100 years ago, and they can’t afford to buy a house.

Girls deserve to be wizards too if they want. And boys should be allowed to become witches

I really connected with the books. Not enough to get a tattoo, but I get it.

Then I really thought about what an awful character Cho Chang is. Also, Voldemort recruits the giants to his side by promising them equality, but the “good guys” don’t even pretend to treat magical creatures equally. Hagrid’s brother is chained up in the forbidden forest. Ron wishes his family owned a slave because it would make chores easier. Hermione gets a slave freed, and she becomes an alcoholic just like American slave owners lied would happen to black people if they were freed. Those books are utter shit.

If you go to university and do any kind of field that involves essay writing, you’ll learn to use a thesis statement to summarise your argument so people know what you’re arguing for. You’ve provided some evidence, but it’s entirely unclear what your position is in this conversation other than “the democrats do bad things sometimes”. If your entire position is “the democrats do bad things sometimes”, then great job! We’re all very proud of you for proving the democrats do bad things sometimes. Now go do your fucking job developing the Lemmy software, because this software is full of issues and the grownups are talking about important issues that actually have a point.

Karl Marx said:

The relationship of the revolutionary workers’ party to the petty-bourgeois democrats is this: it cooperates with them against the party which they aim to overthrow; it opposes them wherever they wish to secure their own position.

What that means in the American system is we vote against liberals in the primaries, and we vote for them against the fascists. America doesn’t have ranked choice voting, but voting socialist in the primaries and left (out of the two candidates presented) in the generals is the closest approximation. This is the Karl Marx approved strategy, as you can see from his speech to the Communist League.

Now let’s talk about this meme. It’s fake news. There was no Alligator Auschwitz under the Democrats. Guantanamo Bay wasn’t a concentration camp for immigrants under the Democrats. I submit that the Democrats are at least 1% better than the Republicans, and that this proves the meme is fake news. And if anyone replies to this comment and says well 1% isn’t good enough, I’m going to accuse you of moving the goalposts, because this meme says colour is the only difference. The meme doesn’t say 1% less people get run over by the trolley, and I think there are at least 1% fewer state caused deaths under the Democrats.

And there’s the racism. To answer your question, the record keepers are verified in skill and trustworthiness by their predecessors, and they take their jobs very seriously because if they mess up, their friends could die. The information in oral histories is practical and academic in equal measure. If a tribe has a bad record keeper, they don’t survive very long.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s at least as accurate as all the nonsense Herodotus wrote down. Putting it on paper didn’t keep half of it from being made up. And Australian historical records go a lot further back than Herodotus’ age.

Okay so what’s happening right now is that I’m subtly pointing out that oral histories are historical records and you’re not getting it.
