Doesn’t help when liberals constantly resort to backing up their arguments with a single academic paper that they do not have the credentials to interpret. Just go look on r/science on stormfront.

Academic papers are not holy divinations of God’s will representing a steadfast unequivocal truth. They are written in the context of their particular economic and social system that incontrovertibly influences their hypotheses, methods, samples, findings, interpretations, etc. I have read papers that twist themselves in knots to provide milquetoast answers that avoid reckoning with capitalism and poverty, especially in healthcare and public health. However, they go along the rails of liberal ideology so they are not sufficiently questioned.

I think even Marxists and other leftists could benefit from improved scientific literacy in that way. We could be much better equipped to talk about and fight against how the system reproduces and enforces itself through academia.

Fellas, is it revisionist to view the world through the lens of social and political relations?

The Dems are going to lose every single presidential election for however much longer they can exist for

I still don’t understand the reaction to the Last Jedi. Otherwise sensible people have the most dogshit takes on it.

Shit, we are like 4C above fucking 2020 temperatures it feels like the last few years

I see blue MAGA shitheads STILL downplaying it like we are all a bunch of morons who can’t possibly remember our own fucking bills going up by 50% under Biden. We all saw it. We all still feel it.

Like my parents

So the people who were profiting off of the COVID wealth redistribution supported the Dems and those who were harmed supported Trump. Seems pretty straightforward

I see it as a blow to American hegemony for sure, but nothing that fundamentally change anything at this point. Maybe more of a benchmark to look back on than anything else

They convinced themselves by saying ‘the economy is great, actually’ and ignoring what voters were saying
