How do you do fellow young adults.
Uncommited movement: “Guess I won’t vote”
According to the “lesser evil” rhetoric Jill Stein is the lesser evil candidate and anyone who doesn’t vote for her is supporting fascists.
False. Jill Stein has ties to Vladimir Putin and a republican marketing firm.
Look i know that you don’t like it but to have ties with Vladimir Putin is less evil than being a fascist or supporting a genocide. If she lose things will be a gazillion times worst. The choice is limited buddy if you want to change the system you have to vote for the lesser evil.
they should probably focus more on voting for Kamala Harris
Shill who?
The kids are alright.
Young women are alright, right wing support amongst <35 y.o. men is surprisingly high…
Agreed. I’m a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they’re not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists…
If they’re like my nephew, the “manosphere” gives them easy answers as to why everything seems to suck.
It’s also the only answer. Society has really neglected boys for a long time now.
Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn’t have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.
You can fault the Right for a lot of things but they got there first on this one. They have a story for why things suck and they’re pounding the drum on it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter that this story is full of holes when the alternative is not compelling.
Yup. The propaganda machine moved quick when they realized this population could be manipulated into action outside of message boards.
Patriarchy did em dirty, but feminism also left them behind. It’s not just patriarchal society that forces men to be strong and stoic, it’s also self-professed feminists, especially women. Feminists say men should be more in touch with their emotions, but when they do so women have no interest in them. That’s one of the realities of life you mentioned.
That’s still patriarchy, my guy. They’ve been raised to be complicit in a system that doesn’t benefit them, and they’re perpetuating it because they don’t like how it feels to step outside of it.
when they do so women have no interest in them.
Personally, I find my experience to be much the opposite. But, I’m also in my late thirties so, experiences may differ.
You need to hang out with better women, my man.
Yup. And it’s always women and brown folks.
Don’t forget LGBTQ and furries. 🙄
The amount of times I’ve had to address the “students using litter boxes” schtick is absolutely mind boggling.
It’s always a school two towns over, and it’s always someone who has no attachment to the school attempting to push it.
I have great hope that they’ll be better than our generation, just as we were better than our parents. Fuck the ‘fuck the kids’ mentality.
I’m a classroom teacher, and I find that you’ve gotta sometimes have both “fuck them kids” and “for the kids” in different measures. But overall, I feel like they’re doing a lot of cool things.
That’s a good point. I think that one of the myths that needs to die is that if the cherubic, sweet, innocent, and pure child. Many children, without guidance, are sociopathic assholes. We’re not born “good” then corrupted by the world, we’re born with some personality traits that may or may not help us as social creatures and need help to learn how to handle our emotions and cooperate with others in a manner that is pro-social.
Yup. Like John Green, I’m generally in favor of humans, but we’ve got some perfectly natural tendencies that can really harm others if left unchecked. I think kids want to do good, but they need to be taught how to, given the space to practice, and corrected with grace when they fuck it up.
Yall mfs gonna cost Universalmonk his Lada.
Gonna say, that assclown missed an article
Good. Scammers need to be called out and avoided at all costs.
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trumph
A vote for Stein is a vote for Stein. Don’t try to bend logic.
It’s more like throwing your vote in the garbage, with the electoral college, but thanks for revealing what you are so I can block you
Shouldn’t be hard to convince anyone not to vote for her who doesn’t hate minorities.
Just let him know that David Duke endorsed Jill Stein.
If that isn’t a literal mic drop on her campaign idk what more can be done. Just make sure everyone knows before they approach a voting booth.

Isn’t this just effectively giving her more attention? I’m not convinced that this helps.
