There are better metrics to measure quality of life. Like for example, the Better Life Index by OECD. This index takes a look at housing, income, jobs, community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety, and work life balance and gives a much more comprehensive view of a country’s performance than just GDP. Countries like China have very high GDP and countries like Qatar have very high GDP per capita, yet neither of these places are good places to live in or offer a good quality of life to the average citizen, but the GDP figures don’t show this. That’s why I don’t take these figures seriously. We need something like the Better Life Index for the individual states here to really get an idea of how things are going. I have a feeling that states like Maine, Vermont, or Utah which have low GDP and GDP per capita offer a much better quality of life to their average residents than states with high GDP and GDP per capital like Massachusetts, New York, or California.

You’re the type of person who will go on to complain that GDP figures don’t mean a thing if the same was pointed out for Texas. The reality is that it really doesn’t mean anything, what has the high GDP meant for the average Californian? Crime is still high and on the rise, homelessness is still at unprecedented levels, public infrastructure is still in a sorry state, public schools are getting worse and worse every year, the cost of living is still insane for most Californians, and politicians are still dumb, corrupt, and don’t care about the people.

One on hand the language is practically dead and won’t replace English as the language of business and diplomacy in Wales, but on the other hand preserving a dying language is cool. So idk I’m torn.

Why is she popular? She’s not funny, she’s not intelligent, she’s not controversial, she doesn’t whore herself out, and she doesn’t have any particular talent or shtick. She’s just so… bland. What’s her appeal? Why does she have so many simps?

“Believe all women!”

“Believe all victims!”

“…unless the abuser is a person that I like then I must rush to defend them because the victims are lying and we need to see all the evidence”

It’s like the classic SA apologists but repackaged.

Bullshit, Lizzo promotes this type of cancerous behavior. By her own standards, she fat shamed others. There’s no other context needed. She’s a hypocrite who bullied others. Stop defending her. It’s comical how morons like you bitch and moan about believing victims when it’s some right wing guy doing it but the moment the abuser is on “your side”, you’re all of a sudden pro context, impartiality, and evidence.

Hoo boo I’m sure you feel like a big boi doing that

You’re terminally online

It’s funny how parasites like you aren’t empathetic towards the victims or mad at her vile behavior. No, instead your go to reaction is to defend her. Disgusting.

Also her “positivity” is good as aids. Promoting obesity, bullying people, and spewing bullshit is not positive.

Let’s ignore how retarded hate speech is as a concept for a second and think about this from a simple point of view. Organizations like CCDH, ADL, SPLC, and so on serve no value to society. They don’t offer products, services, and they don’t help anybody. Their job is justify their own existence, and they do so by publishing bullshit under the guise of morality. If you ever looked at their publications it always nonsense. It is either hyperpartisan bullshit that seeks to censor opposition, hyperbalized claims that aren’t sourced, or made up solutions that aren’t backed by any evidence. All these non profits are run the same. They’re run by fraudulent figures who make money by coercing institutions into donating to them in hopes of gaining credibility and avoiding a slander campaign against them. It’s basically a ponzi scheme with elements of extortion. Fuck them. As much as I hate Musk and Twitter, these parasitic organizations are 1000x worse.

I’m with the Zucc on this one. Facebook is a platform, they are not in charge of the content that gets published on there. Anybody can post anything at anytime. If people want to share news articles on there, they do so on their own. Why would Facebook pay media companies money for the actions of their users? It hurts their business? Fuck them and their business, it’s a new economy. You either adapt or die. If these multibillion dollar corporations haven’t been able to milk social media then that’s their problem. They’re not entitled to Facebook’s revenue regardless of how much you or I hate it.

This just sounds like the dying traditional media industry is trying to leech off of the success of others in order to cling on to dear life. Fuck em.

The vast majority of the LGBTAH3DIAH$AHEISHW++™ shit is nothing more than a fad. You can see this in the polls. Every poll that comes out says that this community doubles every year, but when you actually look at the figures, the percentage of people who are genuinely LGBT is pretty low and it been relatively stable for decades. The new increases are in bullshit labels like “queer”, “questioning”, or some other shit like that. There’s no meaning to them and there’s no other point besides straight young people making up or misusing terms to seems cool, special, and unique to fit in.

How rotten does your mind have to be to think this partisan culture war bullshit? The simplest and most obvious explanation is that media outlets like this pump out fake and misleading content for the sake of stoking controversy which gets them more clicks and views, and thus more money

Adrian Zenz is credible. The only ones who disagrees are brain damaged tankies

Isn’t ironic how tankies are entirely fueled by propaganda but they always bitch about propaganda (aka anything they don’t like including facts)

Tankies try not to be brain damaged challenge (impossible)

Imagine believing the CCP, I feel embarrassed for you

He’s a credible source, you’re just mad that China is shit and Marxism is shit and he’s making it look bad.
