Some majorities are bigger than others.

Get your eyes checked.

Wow. You’re really digging your heels in deep to avoid admitting you’re part of the problem and there’s something you can do about it.

Entitlement and cognitive dissonance and strong forces these days. I’m sorry you can’t see past them.

There are plenty of naive people on here also shilling bluesky over Mastodon.

Lol. I guess that’s the end of your argument.

I accept your concession.

Man, if only you put this much effort into advocating for a modest lifestyle.

It just goes to show: you don’t want to solve these problems because you benefit from them.

You’re also just straight up lying at this point. It’s crazy how much effort you are putting into this, but it’s to be expected because of your cognitive dissonance.

I’m not going to sift through or quote your bullshit, but we both know that it’s there. Keep trying to justify your entitlement, bud. I will always see it for what it is.

You’re not a minimum wage worker, bub. This is what I mean by why should you get more before others who have less?

Why should we improve your lifestyle in the big city because you’re “too good” to accept a more modest and affordable lifestyle outside of one? You’re not willing to invest in making more places livable and improving the lives of others, you’re just looking for ways to justify your entitlement to have as much as you can get.

It’s not a big surprise. I don’t expect more from people like you at this point. I would be foolish if I did.

Err… what?

Care to explain what that ‘other interpretation’ is?

If democrats really wanted to reduce the disparity in wealth, why would they avoid nominating Bernie twice?

It was to lower taxes for earners below 400k, tax unrealized gains for the extremely rich, raise taxes for the wealthy in general.

I’ve seen this one before! The only part that “gets through” are the tax cuts for those making >$100k per year!

This is why establishment democrats don’t want people like Bernie. They’re part of the problem and want to keep profiting off of it.

When?

But your suggestion goes squarely in the same hole as “to solve climate change people need to watch their carbon footprint”

No it doesn’t and your analogy only servers to distract and derail because you have no real argument. Try to stay on topic.

You would directly benefit from appreciating a more-modest lifestyle, and so would your finances. Instead, you’re looking for any argument to justify your entitlement and overconsumption because you like nice things too.

It’s okay to be honest about it. Lying and derailing only shows me you’re insecure, which is to be expected.

Look at how much effort you’re putting into arguing against spreading out. This is the cultural problem.

They don’t care about doing any of that, though. They only make promises to get elected and reneg on everything once in office.

Did any of that happen while Biden was in office? Didn’t think so. It’s because he’s a stooge propped up by the ruling class to make people like you think he has your interests at hand. He doesn’t. Establishment democrats do not want to raise taxes on the wealthy. That’s a progressive agenda.

and honestly that’s all they need to know.

Err… why are we suggesting the corporate-owned and centralized bluesky over Mastodon then?

Oh right, viral marketing and useful idiots. I shouldn’t have expected more.

We still shouldn’t be doing the dirty work of rich people for them.

We should all be promoting Mastodon over the centralized and corporate-owned bluesky.

BlueSky made their own protocol that they control, citing that ActivityPub wasn’t enough for what they wanted to do

Sounds like bullshit for useful idiots that don’t know what they’re talking about.

There’s a viral marketing campaign going on right now to herd the twitter sheep to the next rich-person’s platform. That’s why we keep seeing useful idiots say “bluesky” instead of “Mastodon.”

Not based.

Are you new to the internet? NSFW literally means what it says: it’s content that would not be safe for you to be viewing at work.

Advertising has nothing to do with it, which is why you still get ads on NSFW boards on 4chan; they’re just NSFW ads.

It’s what the DNC wants. They want to only be seen as the “lesser evil” to people like trump.

They genuinely have no interest in helping the working class, because they’re not a part of it.

Why bluesky instead of mastodon? It’s like saying lemmy.world is going to replace reddit instead of the Lemmy platform.

Are you just commenting how the people who use something like twitter are eager to be herded like sheep into the next walled garden?

Are you part of the bluesky viral marketing campaign to make it artificially seem like it’s “already won”?
