Yes, I corrected myself in another comment. And I appreciate your contribution to society. But what I was really bringing light to were the radical progressives of today that are making decisions that are leading to the United States, debt, increasing, therefore leading to inflation. Open borders and helping people in need sounds good, but the US cannot feed the world.

I decided to look up the quote again, it’s real but not accurate in reflecting the beliefs. Liberalism is less government and more private property, progressivism is wanting change, and conservatism is wanting tradition and things to say the same. All three definitions are how they were once described but do not reflect today’s meanings of each word.
Would I need to live in California or New York to worry about high prices, poor education, rampant drug abuse, a Shitting on streets epidemic that requires poop patrol to clean up the mess, and widespread homelessness/ tent cities just to name a few? Asking for a friend.
Would i need to be living in one of those states to have my current beliefs?

Djad2410@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments19·2 years agoIt’s to early to state facts so it’s a given that most things mentioned this early would be opinions.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the saying comes from the responsibilities people have at different ages and not a hard and fast rule. When you’re young you’re likely more progressive and you’re not the one having to work and worrying about how far you can stretch a dollar. When your older you’re more conservative because you’re having to work and pay for all your expenses which at that point you want less government taxing you to pay for liberal shit.
Edit: Liberalism of the past and what’s today are different today’s Liberals are extreme progressives in disguise. So, I may have conflated the two.
I was using the context of the main post and responses.
Just like stereotypes, there’s a thread of truth to it.
There’s a saying “when your young if you’re not a liberal you don’t have a heart and when you’re old if you’re not a conservative you don’t have a brain”.
I don’t see how this is a right wing left wing issue don’t all celebrities do things for money?
Djad2410@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”English1·2 years agoYes, that’s correct but a year or two back he did liquidate some of that money and to pay taxes. I thing he’s the record holder for having to pay the must taxes at once by a single individual.
Djad2410@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”English2·2 years agoNo, his more of a Steve Jobs, in that he knows how to get the right people in a room and get investors to invest in his companies.
Djad2410@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”English12·2 years agoI’m not trying to be rude or close minded here but before Elon Musk, Twitter was a left lining platform, and there was blatant proof of right wingers being banned or censored on the platform. Before he even took off for the platform, a lot of people are gunning for him, and for the company to fail under him simply because he wanted to make it open for everyone. I don’t agree with all of his decisions, but considering the circumstances that he was in when he took over the company I don’t see what else prove my point, there was even leaked documents, showing FBI involvement and censor in American people which is a first amendment violation.

Djad2410@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•'Your Turn': United Auto Workers Launches Campaign to Unionize TeslaEnglish12·2 years agoYou’re correct but my issue is with the corruption part. Look at Hollywood and that fiasco of a boycott and how it affected the people at the bottom of the union. Or the teachers union where is the damn near impossible to fire bad teachers and how the school system is suffering for that. Where as private schools pay more in return your job is dependent on how well your students preform.
Djad2410@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•'Your Turn': United Auto Workers Launches Campaign to Unionize TeslaEnglish211·2 years agoUnions aren’t always a good thing especially when the workers are able to come to favorable terms on their own. A lot of the time it’s just union heads looking for a cut of the deal.
Djad2410@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments14·2 years agoThere are less insiders working with these companies, X is trying to be neutral, and is trying not to be beholden to outside forces so I would have to disagree with you.
Djad2410@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments12·2 years agoOh, never watched
With or without people monitoring twitter you’re still get that type of content on any platform. You can only reduce the chance never completely stop. The point is you would have to be in those groups following those feeds to see that content.(allegedly) If it took Media Matters having to follow those groups for hours and then following Disney or any other company to show that, then twitter is working to make it harder for that to happen. If this is about a company’s image, even if a Nazi account would happen to see ads in their feed unless they were out her telling you, you would be none the wiser. I highly doubt if they did the same thing on any other left lining platform that towed the line, would there be the same reaction?
