Working Class Politics

Sometimes people wonder if they would be courageous enough to stand against a tyrannical government. The vaccine mandate & social pressure tested that resolve in us. I'm proud that I took a stand and now know that I do have that courage. #unvaccinated

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan I would prefer good faith conversation around political and cultural issues. These arguments can be complex from multiple perspectives. I think logic should dictate such issues rather than feelings associated with public spectacles.

@WorkingPolitic @ClanTheSpursFan it's funny, i think there's likely significant overlap in our ultimate stances on our respective celebration nights, which is that the lip service is nice but we'd rather have material change

Military appreciation? How does that align with basketball? Heritage night? How does that align with basketball? Breast cancer awareness? How does that align with basketball? Inclusion of groups of people that aren't me? How does that align with basketball? Stfu

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan Personally I would prefer sports to market their sport. The competition. The individual stories of overcoming obstacles rather than pandering to identity groups. If I were to watch a game, I want to not think about politics at all for 3 hours. We've lost that.

@queenie4rmnola We don't often talk about the psychological harm that criminals inflict upon their victims, but we should.

We don't often talk about the psychological harm of mass incarceration, but we should.

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan TBH I can admit that as an Iraq war veteran who disagreed with that war, I either have first hand knowledge or a bias built-in concerning this topic

@WorkingPolitic @ClanTheSpursFan i could go on for a while. i am fundamentally saying that no ideology is neutral or axiomatic. your assertion that it *should* be doesn't mean that it *is*--and the question of whether you can enforce that assertion is a matter of political power

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan In America, I would say that military appreciation is a response to the treatment of Vietnam veterans & is primarily used as a means to separate celebrating the individual service members rather than the current mission.

@WorkingPolitic @ClanTheSpursFan ok, we can narrow politics to ideology, sure. i wanted to respond to your point well, so i did some digging--there's a lot of poli sci scholarship on exactly this question. surprisingly, there's a deep strain of christian scholarship on it too

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan I like the new tone of this conversation. Thank you for sharing this. I can agree that given the context around military "appreciation", it can be political depending on the intent behind it.

@dvorstone He's too nice. She's sexually repulsed because he's not edgy enough for her. She will go outside of the marriage to meet her needs because she doesn't respect him and he doesn't demand respect. It's a doomed marriage as she lost attraction to him.

Sigh... Listen, you have to arouse your wife. She's not "uninterested" in sex. She's uninterested in you. Whatever your dynamic, it doesn't arouse her. Liking someone is not the same thing as being aroused by them. Surprise! You actually have to figure out what arouses her (and vice-versa, by the way). If you want your wife to dutifully perform for you absent arousal, which is what all of these posts seem to suggest, then the failure is on you. A man has to figure out what arouses his wife, and then do that.

@tufpraise says the guy wearing a face mask while driving a Prius because of the sun monster but sipping his latte in a plastic disposable cup.

"Your generation is so soft" says the ones triggered by a fucking rainbow

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan Honoring the military isn't political in nature. However, catering to the political whims of the left to drive culture is political in pure form.

@WorkingPolitic @ClanTheSpursFan pal, pal. nobody mentioned abolition, focus up. "politics" is "the ideology/mechanics of resource distribution/governance/policy." spending 15% of the budget isn't political? LOAC, the UCMJ, the draft, *both Armed Services committees*? read a book. read literally anything

@RealDianeYap Agreed completely. But in today's society, it shouldn't be easier for any person to obtain grants, jobs or scholarships based solely on gender identity, sex, or race. Identity politics have been taking from "the majority" and giving to "minorities" for generations.

Ask a man how to fix the loser men? "Take away women's rights! Give all their jobs to men! Don't teach girls how to read!" This should embarrass you as a man. This grasping demand that someone else fix your problem. This desire to take from others so you have more gibs.

@KetterStone @RealDianeYap The dumbest tweet of the day

@RealDianeYap We can easily fix this. Repeal the 19th Amendment and remove women from the workforce. After a little discomfort wages would rise for men. Or just stop teaching female students to read. This wouldn't help immediately either but it would benefit families in the future.

She blocked me for saying men who can't afford to pay for 100% of everything for their wives and kids are losers. Love looks different to you and me. If love doesn't make you stronger and better, if it allows you to be weak and coddled, what good is it? It harms a man.

@unlimited_ls The mother should also be given the death penalty.

NEW: Georgia man who was sentenced to death for paying a mother $2,500 to r<>pe her 5-year-old daughter before murdering her; demands that prison officials carry out his execution immediately Jeremy Tremaine Williams, 41, was convicted of killing Kamarie Holland, 5, in 2021 after her body was found in his duplex basement in Phenix City Prosecutors said she was found with a rope around her neck, hidden under a tarp Williams told investigators he had used meth and forced the child to take it before sexually abusing her He then strangled her in what he described as a “very rageful and s*xually driven” attack The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals upheld his conviction and death sentence last week. Williams has fired his attorneys and is pushing for a faster execution The case now moves to the Alabama Supreme Court and then to the governor to set an execution date

@PattyMurray Therapists shouldn't be forced to embrace mental disorders

Conversion therapy is child abuse. It should be banned nationwide—and I have a bill to do just that. I’m not going to stop fighting for a world where every person, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, can live with dignity and without fear.

@RepJayapal The kids plea from the people who want to mutilate and abort children is interesting. It is possible to hold an adult liable for a crime that they commit even if they have children. It's even OK to have empathy for them but the duty of any government is to its citizens.

Kids should be focused on going to school and playing with their friends, not living in fear that their parents will be kidnapped by ICE. Listen to Nicole Isern’s heartbreaking testimony about how Trump’s cruelty has impacted the kids and families she works with.

@hell_line0 The government should respond by giving out free cleaning wipes.

I saw a protest women and young girls were doing in Paris. They were encouraging women to bleed everywhere. On the bus seats, train, restaurants, liters everywhere that men also frequent to advocate for free sanitary pads. Till it starts inconveniencing them, they won’t create a budget for it.

@actingliketommy LIttle PP (political punk) seems really angry.

Christians in 2026 need to realize people are gay and that's 100% normal. Especially here in the America... the supposed land of freedom. You're free to NOT be gay. Others are free to BE gay. That's it. You're not free to tell anyone other than you what they can or can't be.

@detrimen_tal @ClanTheSpursFan 😆 The very group of people who protect your liberties to say the outrageous things that you say is the very group you would abolish. Reality doesn't exist on the left.

@WorkingPolitic @ClanTheSpursFan the army isn’t political? the ARMY? every day you people tell on yourselves

@krassenstein 😆
