memes used to be funny jokes to all, now they are polemic in nature (poles?)

universal appeals (analogy) => polemics (polarity)

This person made $470k doing nothing and they're still complaining 🤷‍♂️

Some of it's just entitlement.

middle class + upper middle class are the majority 🤷 median income is not "deprived"

anyway real wages up across all

but it's up...?

they're consumerists at the core. "Society (the government) has an ethical obligation to provide citizens with opportunities for consumption" vs. "the fruits of labor should be borne fairly"

politics is ultimately defined by action

reasoned argument is only one means of claiming power. Buckle up!

"community" different from "society" apparently traces back to Tönnies and has come to be a fantasy of carving out a more intimate world within complex "society"

food prices are down compared to wages
November 2, 2025 at 3:14 AM
simultaneously entitled to the fruits of industry (not just food but consumer treats) and contemptuous towards anyone involved in production ("capitalists," "billionaires"; good fortune could only come from cheating)

if you cite addition/multiplication they interpret it as a personal attack

The communists strident about "civic virtue," I think "civic virtue" became "conservative" when the "left" came to mean the offspring of the avant-garde.

(and Trump GOP is just cruelty clowns, making all this even more stark!)

"tradition" as a conservative value came from when it was an ideology attacking the dynamism of capitalism/liberalism and defending societas civilis as more stable. It depended on fiction (idyllic peasant life) even then!

Hardly applicable for the past centuries imo.
