Very cool very deep.

I agree that the US prison system is messed up. There are tons of things to be mad about without making stuff up. People should be upset about the emphasis on punishment and the lack of rehabilitation that occurs.

But here we have a pretty decent rehabilitation program and… we’re still upset.

At some point this community needs to have a frank realization that this is the other side of the same rage bait, fake news slop trough MAGA folks are eating from.

Pine Grove is literally a voluntary transitional program for incarcerated youths (required to be 18+ for the program) to get trauma treatment, mentorship, and work experience with CalFire to improve their prospects post-release: https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/insidecdcr/2023/04/13/pine-grove-camp-continues-youth-rehabilitation/

OP take inspiration from these guys: you too can do something noble and impactful with your life if you can pry yourself away from posting factually incorrect rage bait content.

OP: posts a meme about weird and racist European holiday traditions and how Europeans will appear to defend them

Europeans ITT:

well actually it’s not a Christmas tradition it’s from November

yeah uh, and it’s not actually blackface because we decided it’s soot and ash even though it was and still is blackface

ok we might have people here that like the blackface but they live all the way on the other side of the country which is like a whole 10 minutes away so it doesn’t count

uhhhh you Americans wouldn’t understand with your newer, watered-down, holiday traditions that are stolen from elsewhere

it’s not racist it’s cultural and you Americans would understand if you could introspect about your culture

The painting is titled Italian landscape with umbrella pines which appears to be a name for stone pines. Cool trees.

How does that function in practice? Does the government now hold an active management stake in all these entities?

Seize (that is, nationalize) the largest 100 corporations.

I understand the case for nationalizing key social infrastructure and utilities, but what is the justification for seizing the largest 100 corporations? Also why 100 specifically?

Ranked 20th, but out of how many countries?

Well I pulled the full source: the 2021 Net Zero Readiness Report from KPMG.

KPMG evaluated 32 countries. Out of which China ranked 20th. Not terrible, but also not all that impressive with that context.

I’ve gotta give you kudos:

I see you all over these comment sections like it’s your full time job and you consistently have the absolute worst takes. Brain rot GOAT

Yes, it is still objectively right. Anyone deciding not to vote for Biden isn't automatically culpable for any Trump victory unless they voted for him personally.

This is an incredibly naïve and privileged perspective, clearly held by someone who has nothing to lose if Trump were to win.
