Short term vs long term gratification

And I was giving an example of nationalism that’s more than its rhetoric

I’m not sure to which extend this is true but this might be correlation. I guess MAGA people are more often privileged while marginalized people are more often woke and due to their marginalization they are depressed

Murican patriotic rhetoric is full of liberty and the founding fathers and the flag and stuff. Do you think, without one of these elements, there would be no nationalism?

Because of nationalism and colonialism. They might use religious rhetoric where it suits them and there are religious people in government, I don’t deny that, but over all it’s a ethnic supremecist ideology and religion is only one identity marker, not the motivator.

Or rather nationalists. It’s not that the IDF is a religious organization or something

For those who don’t have that luxury: Please give me your data so others can’t steal it. I’ll put it were it’s safe

The experimental math department’s budget is under scrutiny for how much they’ve been spending on trains leaving Chicago at 9:00pm traveling at 45 mph.

Shutout to the Vatican and all the other red countries! I sadly live in a green one

Wow, rude.

Thanks, that’s the one I had in mind but seeing it again, I think the one in the post works better

I saw a longer version of this idea once but I don’t remember where

You can’t spell marriage without rage

Sounds like my job description

so they have no interplay

Ok, this implication wasn’t obvious for me and it truly is a stupid take

I don’t see any problem here. Racism existed before capitalism to justify slavery and has a new function after the abolition. In fact, before the abolition, it functioned to divide different oppressed groups, as it does today.

If anything, the meme says that racism was a precondition for capitalism. If capitalism needs racism, of cause racism must be older, otherwise capitalism could not have developed.

If still not sure if you’re saying this is a homophobic joke or a joke about homophobia. If I understand you correctly, the joke is that the gays are so stupid, they didn’t realize they want a same sex partner until the light ball told them?
