  • Biden and the rest of the neoliberals gave Bibi everything he wanted, but it was never going to be enough.

    Give someone like that two choices who will do whatever he wants, but one is a sadistic asshole. And they’ll go with the asshole everytime.

    There was never any gain for a Dem to defend Bibi, except for the personal gain of campaign donations from a foreign country.

    And that’s one of the big reasons Dem turnout was low enough for trump to be president.

    Neoliberals picked Israel over America and we need to get every single one of them out of office


  • Well, yeah…

    Silverbacks used to be the go-to primate “alpha” example, but we know that “the tribe” isn’t controlled by the Silverback, and it’s not the biggest or most aggressive that “leads”.

    The females select more for compassion than anything. And the only real point of the Silverback in the tribe is to scare off rogue males.

    Fights rarely happen, there just has to be a silverback already with the group to stop the rogues from hassling the group.

    Even if a rogue male started a fight, and beat the group’s silverback, there’s still like 20 other gorillas, it’s not like they only have conflict in 1v1 fights. They don’t “win” leadership thru fighting.

    The tribe just picks their own Silverback as designated chest thumper to avoid conflict.
















  • Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling

    You’re so stuck in a capitalist mindset that you view people being “unemployable” as a personal failure on their part, rather than a success of society as a whole…

    Were you out there screaming “think of the children” and “they can do anything they put their mind to” when people banded together to say maybe 7 year old children don’t have to work in the fucking coal mines anymore?


  • I think the issue is the study treated it as a binary thing…

    Handedness isn’t binary, very few things are when talking about human anatomy.

    Like, 4 wheel drive is an equal 50/50 split. Then obviously full front/rear drive.

    But “all wheel drive” can be anything from 80/20 to 60/40, or theoretically any random ratio.

    So while people who prefer their left hand. There’s a difference between a sleight preference and someone who’s right hand is so useless it’s easier to hold a guitar upside down.

    Those people at the extreme end may be more creative when isolated out as a subgroup
