Do you think that you would keep your integrity and use your money for the greater good, or that you would be corrupted by your power?

I suppose it’s a matter of perspective. Very few people in the world ever see themselves as actually evil. Every villain is the hero in their own story.

But if we recognize basic truths about people’s preferences, I think a greater good can be achieved. Everyone wants a place to call home and good food on the table. Everyone wants good health and to have a sense of purpose or meaning to their lives.

This is universal, regardless of race, sex, gender, nationality, language (I can’t include religion as some religions demand the oppression & extermination of others).

Just to clarify, the US Democrat party isn’t a left wing party, it’s a right wing party. It hasn’t been left wing since Jimmy Carter. We have two right wing parties in the US which often comes as a shock to people who aren’t paying attention.

Also, all of the economic problems you’re experiencing are because of capitalism, not communism.

There’s only five countries in the world that are externally labeled as “communist,” and four of them are in Asia. All five don’t classify themselves as communist.

The term is just a fear-triggering word to trick gullible people into blaming the problems of capitalism on an imaginary boogeyman.

I would teach Shop (that was still a thing when I was in high school in the 90s). I’m really good at making practical things, and making repairs. I would love to teach the basics like how to change a tire and whatnot.

This is the correct answer.

It’s lonely being intelligent. Maybe I’m just in the wrong social circles.

I like to read books at my construction job when we’re not busy. Yet none of my coworkers have read a book since early middle school, and they only skimmed it to half-ass a book report. I can’t talk to them about anything except work.

I’ve never been beautiful my whole life. I’d give myself a 4 out of 10, a little less than average. I never really cared about my looks, I haven’t worn makeup in ages.

I’d be interested in giving beauty a trial run, see if it suits me better than intelligence.

I got banned from reddit for saying the genocide in Gaza was bad.

I feel OK about it, for the most part. I can say "genocide is always wrong" and not get banned here.

When it comes to fascism, the rule of law only matters to them when it works in their favor. The rest of the time it’s simply ignored.

We are each just one person. We can’t save the world, and it would be unreasonable to carry that burden.

But we each can save a small piece of it. A kind word here, a forgiving of slights there, and work in some patience & understanding for others.

Little things can make waves. And if Six Degrees of Separation remains true, your little deeds affect more people than you realize.

Yup, I got perma-banned for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza. The admin called me a “hateful Nazi fascist.”

I’m to the left of Bernie and I don’t support ethnic cleansing. Reddit is just falling in line with the AIPAC propaganda as they’re a powerful foreign lobbyist group in the US.

Right now the US is basically a two-party system with both parties bribbed by the same health insurance companies. The will of the people demands change, yet both parties refuse to implement change.

Withholding your vote does nothing as it’s essentially a two-party system. Voting for one party or the other does nothing as they’re both paid off by the same health insurance companies.

In desperate times when the government no longer represents the people, people turn to vigilantism to solve ongoing problems, as we saw with the killing of the CEO.

It’s going to get a lot worse, there WILL be more killings.

I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄

Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.

Is this game… fun? Everything I’ve seen and heard about it doesn’t seem fun at all.

Right now we don’t have a left wing party in the US. We have a right wing party, and a right wing fascist party. As much as members of the fascist party love to shit on the Democrats for being leftists, most of them aren’t actually leftist.

I have a question. What do any of the people in this… meme? have to do with each other? Is this another Qanon delusion?

I’m a D&D player and DM. If Elon’s threats are to be believed, 2025 is likely to be the worst year for D&D.

They’re basically announcing “We’re a business, but we’re not all that interested in making money.”

These are the correct answers.

Egotistical assholes gain attention more than regular commentators.

Internet culture rewards the loud, obnoxious, and offensive with attention and engagement. Advertisers like attention and engagement, so they financially back the loud, obnoxious, and offensive.

This is why it’s so prevalent on social media.

In the women’s locker room at the shipyard. Nobody ever goes in there, it’s clean, it’s never used, and I just got off a sixteen hour shift of welding. I was damn tired and couldn’t muster the strength to drive myself home.

I got about five hours of sleep which was enough rest to drive myself home and call out “sick” the next day.
