proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 17/04/2025When they say "big government" they mean "government that is one iota larger than the exact things I want it to do to benefit me" 000
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 08/04/2025This just in, guy who infiltrated the government to, amongst other things, decimate agencies who were investigating him, says "other people must be using the government for personal benefit!" 030
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Now I guess they get a taste of what it is like trying to reason with a trump supporter. 010
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Dems perpetually make the mistake of assuming that, like conservatives, their constituency are universally single-issue voters. They think nothing they can do will be bad or cost them votes, as long as they don't touch the golden cow. Dems are slightly more complex than that. 071

proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Never, ever expect conservatives to be honest or accountable about their political views. Their political views are: "I will do/say literally anything to own the libs, regardless of whether it completely contradicts the thing I said/did yesterday." 010

proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 20/01/2025It's become a battle to try conflate all confidence and conviction as equal. It's the widespread reframing of information as "we are both equally confident, so we must both have equal likelihood of being correct", and then the court of public opinion picks which of the two makes them feel better 010
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 20/01/2025People need to stop projecting, and treating conservatives like at any moment their capacity for social shame or hypocrisy recognition are going to magically turn on. It's not. They want power, and they will do and say anything to get it or to at least pretend they have it. 000
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I think treating it like a rug pull may be missing another likely point, which is that it is a not-too-subtle way to circumvent campaign finance laws. It's no accident that this is happening the week he takes office. He is building a favor-ledger. 110
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 20/01/2025All this sounds like a great way to circumvent campaign finance law. 000
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 19/01/2025It's not a coincidence that Republicans perform terribly with young people, and they just did something massive "for them". It's political quid pro quo, because they know they need to replace a quickly dying boomer voting block. 020
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Yeah, I just realized that despite how it was internalized to ostensibly make me feel, it wasn't actually even close to being a net-positive for me and my well-being. 010
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I am trying to and starting to unravel that particular negative part of myself as well, the last two days.

proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 18/01/2025If politicians ever take a "principled stand" against anything, the question they are answering is "what is lucrative and I'm not able to get cut in on?" "Danger to America" is politician double-speak for "not profitable for me personally" 000

proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I agree with that, I'm just wary of the idea that it will substantively change people's economic (dis)advantages without it being a part of a much, much larger societal realignment. I guess how I would out that differently is that male-as-norm social structures aren't strictly limited to finance. 130
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Pretty telling that all the responses are very resistant to any change that doesn't also benefit men. 2150
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024UBI without price controls, social changes, consumer protections, and economic policy realignment is just a pass-through from the tax pool to corporations, since they can just increase prices however much UBI is. 200
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Without other pieces, what's to stop prices and everything that keeps women disadvantaged from just rising the same amount, since everyone is getting the same amount of financial injection? 210
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Or if we had substantial increases and improvements to paid maternity leave, dismantled the systems that punish women in the workplace, and started treating them as vital and equal members of society. UBI is possibly one component, but we don't need to reward men for oppressing women. 4260
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 02/12/2024It's amazing how fast something like Twitter can get toxic and tedious when a significant part of its membership is pre-convinced that absolutely anything a progressive says is wrong, and wants to turn *every single* space into an obstinate, combative, and agonistic, abrasive debate stage. 000
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 30/11/2024It's "hurt NASA, help spaceX; hurt all other social media, help Twitter; hurt all other auto manufacturers, help Tesla". It's whatever Elon wants it to be, because it sounds very much like a blank check to use the federal government as a oligarchical cudgel. 052
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 30/11/2024"we must stop theft!" They lying-ly cry, while losing 100x more to people who go elsewhere because they simply refuse to be treated that way or put up with that nonsense. 010

proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Breaking news: bunch of people from Truth Social lambast Bluesky and warn of the social dangers of having an 'echo chamber social media platform'. 010
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It's also the whole psychological trick of "ask for a bigger favor that you don't need first, that way when you ask for what you actually want, they are relieved and way more likely to just immediately say yes". 000
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Added benefit that it also probably doesn't come with as much of the immediate twitter-related "this is probably complete BS" process, because you know, Twitter. 010
proleposition.bsky.social @proleposition.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Something I can't seem to move on from, or forgive, is that despite their faults progressives are targeting human suffering, and conservatives are targeting suffering humans. 010
