I'd rather have a politician who does absolutely nothing than a fascist.

Yes, this is how the two-pronged strategy works to ensure the working class never improves its standing.

Seems like the left don't approve of common sense.

Seems like the right is retarded.

It's not the 80s anymore. The correct term is that they are Ignorant, racist, bigots.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Not anymore, no.

Both parties are banking on the hysteria of their constituencies to stay in power.

It works.

It's common sense from an outsider perspective that any organization that expects children to pledge allegiance to it 3000 times before adulthood is loaded with propaganda and the kids that graduate from that aren't going to have proper common sense.

And just because other countries aren't as obviously villainous about it doesn't make their standardized textbooks and their corporate media (much of it imported from the propaganda empire above) that much less propagandistic.

So it's common sense that common sense is tainted by decades of propaganda, and actually understanding something means unlearning what they taught you and looking with fresher eyes.

So you're right, common sense is for chumps, and that's just common sense.

Yeah and it's always the others who are toxic and populist, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I may be toxic and populist, depending on who you ask, but I'm not a right-winger hiding behind a thin curtain of 'centrism'.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Social centrism ≠ traditional centrism

They aren’t that either.
