	The far left and the right hate the modern corporate co-opting of green, for different reasons. However, “woke” capitalism is a good thing overall, as it helps to mainstream LGTBT and minorities in pop culture
- 
	I find it so hard to come up with things to say, that aren’t boring ass logical interview questions. I guess practice is the only solution

	  Joel3102 replied to Andrea Marchetti's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events The fact that America isn't going to hit 60% vaccination is insane. The level of misinformation in alternative media and the polarisation has gotten out of control
- 
	I knew a guy ink pickup who banged 50 in a year supposedly. He was also amazingly attractive, so either the exception or exaggerated
- 
	Yeah the dirty secret that populists on both sides miss, is that American democracy actually works pretty well, and the representatives usually reflect the values of the overall population.

	  Joel3102 replied to Milos Uzelac's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events Caleb Maupin is a tankie who plays cover for authoritarian regimes just because it’s anti-West. Trash ideology

	Good example of green reacting to oranges self help

	Lol, so introverts suck at getting laid and getting enlightened! Can't catch a break here

	  Joel3102 replied to Bobby_2021's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events I think worry about raising taxes to a decent progressive tax system rather than focusing on eliminating billionares at this point, one step at a time. Ideally, billionares probably shouldn't exist, because there's not good reason for one person that have that much wealth. On the other hand, a 100% tax would almost certainly not be good for the economy right now

	Political quote rather than spiritual, but damn this one hit “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” ― John Kenneth Galbraith

	?? If anyone’s going to hate a lockdown, it’ll be PUAs
- 
	Owen seems to have some stupid takes on the Covid-19 lockdowns and does vague allusions to conspiracy. Your mind on populism I guess. There does seem to be a reactionary bend to some self help/new age teachers

	I think you’re right when it comes to jerking off. It’s fine and most people are okay with it. The insane nofap never ejaculate stuff is stupid. But if you’re to watch porn for a decent period of time and not feel shit after, you’re lucky. Myself and a lot of other people feel like trash and have depleted dopamine after a porn session

	I’d recommend starting with some of those Vox YouTube explainer videos. It took me years to really piece a decent timeline of events from the late 1800s to today. You can’t really have a strong opinion on the issue if you don’t know the history. key events to learn would be -the beginning of Zionism in the 1800s -Balfour declaration -1947 partition plan, subsequent 1948 war, and the nakba -1967 war (key) -peace deal with Egypt -Oslo Accords and Camp David -2005 withdrawal from Gaza -2014 Gaza/Israel war

	If you don’t sell, which is a taxable event, you can’t spend the money anyway. I think capital gains tax should be higher given that’s how billionaires earn their money rather than salary.
- 
	Wealth tax is a logistical problem to implement. Usually the event of selling is a taxable event. Do you tax every person with a 401k (American folk speak) prior to even realising gains?
- 
	Hedge fund managers whose full time job earning insane money don’t outperform the market, I’m not arrogant enough to think I’m smarter
- 
	Expand? How can one safely beat the market?
- 
	Investing in index funds is a pretty safe investment. Studies show that if you can withdraw 4% from you investments as year and your investment base will not deteriorate over any 30 year period in history. There hasn’t been a ten year period where the market hasn’t gone up
- 
	I have this as well. So fucking hard to stop, I mutilate the skin around my nails and everyone’s just like wtf. At least with smoking or something, the trigger isn’t always right at your fingertips, literally. Theres a subreddit for dermaphotagia if you wanted to check it out
- 
	The irony is that he’s made multiple videos shitting on PUAs. Maybe because ‘game’ is so natural to him it seems silly to practice
- 
	The UN official position is to have Tel Aviv as the capitals for both, until an agreement is made. The US recognising Israeli however not Palestinian capital status, gives too much leverage to Israel with 0 concessions
- 
	Nah, why?
