buddy, this thread is Marx all the way up and down.

but point taken. I'll keep overt politics off this site from now on.

This is why it's fruitless to argue with Marxists--they subjugate truth to layers of shifting context.

Non-Marxist: Is <objectively true statement> true? Marxist: No. <objectively true statement> was/is/will be used against my political tribe, therefore it is false. Non-Marxist: Well, can it just be "technically" true in this narrow case if we ignore the greater context? Marxist: I don't understand what you're talking about. Non-Marxist: Can anything be both true and politically inconvenient? Marxist: What a stupid question. Of course not!

It's a wonder how so many of these people get into tech. How can you study science if your ideology invalidates Newtonian mechanics because it was invented to help England bombard natives?

The politics that's happening to you, if you're in a western republic or democracy, is one that created and maintains unprecedented safety and freedom otherwise alien to human existence.

This is not the experience for AZ residents. Check it out and you'll find a welcoming and supportive community.

Yes, and CA schools will force our sons to wear dresses and then die of measles from some anti-vaxxer's kids. The media loves to inflate stereotypes, doesn't it?

I hear a lot of talk about regressive politics in AZ.

What I see on the ground here is that people from all economic backgrounds can afford to work, live, and have a family. What I see up there is a set of NIMBY policies that restrict prosperity to the 1%.

PHX adopts policies welcoming middle-skill, middle-income people and families; fauxgressives in SF Bay give them the middle finger.
