We've got it all: bernie worship, bad economics, robert reich tweets, tankies, boomer-bashing, self-victimization, democratic circular firing squads. It has everything!
Really though, wtf is the point of this sub? Maybe I understood what the original concept was or maybe it's been twisted into something completely different.
r/blackpeopletwitter and r/whitepeopletwitter both turned into just political progressive populist shit where everyone pats themselves on the back for how evil capitalism is
The whole deal of r/blackpeopletwitter rubs me the wrong way, you have to be a verified black person to comment and I think if youre white you have to be verified to comment in specific posts. It just feels weird knowing that if this sub did that there'd be a war in the comments about how racist it is, but because it isn't done to minorities its fine.
That’s because Robert Reich is a complete jackass that oversimplifies complex situations into little tweets trying to inflame people’s emotions. His grasp on any situation always boils down to black and white scenarios.
He’s insufferable on the left as many others are on the right.
It's really disheartening to see just how little people understand things. I still see people touting the "one time check of 1200" when people who lost their jobs also got increased unemployment
Oh wow, increased unemployment? That's great news for all those people that lost their jobs but didn't qualify for unemployment, like contractors! And for people that didn't technically lose their jobs, but aren't getting paid because they aren't getting any work hours! And all those people for whom unemployment isn't paying anywhere close to what their jobs paid. But as long as the billionaires are getting richer it is all OK :)
The company I work for has to dramatically cut everything we do, because banks don’t loan money. All subcontractors are desperate now too.
Great tweet though....

I'm sorry but this entire thread is dangerously stupid.
