Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, you’re 100% correct.

Most people aren’t on social media talking politics or thinking about any of this outside what they might overhear at church, from family/friends, on TV, shared on Facebook.

How is this upvoted? Didn’t the US go in there, destabilize everything, then just pull out, leaving a power void for the Taliban to waltz in and seize?

This is the formula the right wingers use and it’s obviously effective.

This is the way

We’re already in for a rough ride. Seeing “Christians” get what’s coming to them would be so worth it

Ya he’s gonna be pissed about the religious and right wingers that use his name in vain to gain power while fucking kids.

Or how jerks on Twitter stole anime avatars.

OMG I’ve never been a part of anime culture or knowledge. But anime avatar def = alt right red pill incel in my mind

I don’t get it and I’m much more comfortable asking for clarification here than anywhere else.

Explain?

Edit: I appreciate all the answers. I’ve been calling myself “liberal” just to differentiate myself from “conservative” and I think that’s not quite right. I need like a test or something to help me find the right words

what

Except you also can’t eat anywhere else or make your own food at home, so you have to eat at the fancy place

That’s an extra 500/mo for me.

Factoring in needing to (re)buy office clothes/makeup/hair products, the extra time to get ready every day, commute with the time and money costs, as well as increased food costs?

Hard pass. That “extra” money is only going to pay for those extra costs.

Let’s look from a time perspective. Being conservative in estimating a typical commute (for my area) and getting ready time, that’s an extra 1.5 hours to my day. 500 a month over that extra 30 hours a week is 16/hr. Not terrible, but not worth it to me. I’m not going to trade 3 hours of my off work time for $48.

Now, if you’re willing to trade that time for that cost, I’ll def find 3 hours of chores around my place to hire you for!

There’s gotta be pressure for offices to open up so employees are forced to spend money on food/coffee/dry cleaning/whatever around the building itself too.

I feel for those businesses, but not enough to subsidize their existence when I don’t need it.

Love you telling on yourself with that list

The world doesn’t just give you sex for excelling in school/work.

Ew.

Very surprised you’re not getting any.

Do you really think politicians, that are paid for by these monopolies, are going to help create that change? They’d all be talking themselves out of a ton of money.

Media is also influenced and controlled by money. I don’t see their financial backers in a hurry to open the eyes of the average person to the realities of wealth inequality.

Aren’t you in Europe? Look to the French, they know how to actually get shit done when it comes to the ruling class. They protest and riot, like they did when retirement age was proposed to go up.

It’s very telling that wealth is the only thing he cares about. All these problems that “other” people face are just annoying little flies for him to swat away

Wow, tell me you’re a straight white Christian male without telling me you’re a straight white Christian male.

Sorry that the problems of us “others” got in the way of your safe little bubble.

When Kens ask just for a bit of equality at the end, they are shut down and given some unimportant appeasement as a joke.

The movie is calling this out on purpose. It’s how women are currently treated in western society.

It’s not that they’re homeless, it’s just that where they live isn’t important to the story. This is because when little girls play with Ken dolls, they don’t give Ken any backstory. Kens are only there for supporting Barbie’s journey.
