True, there's no reason to have everyone working at the level of automation we've reached, but some people think it's the 1950s or something.

If I had to guess, it's probably because for a lot of people being a NEET is depressing state of being. No direction or control over your life and you're at the whims of whatever happens to your family, economically. People with nothing to look forward to tend to wig out over petty shit like one less tendie.

I didn't mean to imply that liberalism and conservativism are completely indistinguishable, but rather that conservative thought generally represents the right wing of liberalism in the west. Sorry if this was unclear.

This omits what an earlier comment pointed out: that your typical MAGA/MAGA-adjacent "conservative" public figure is essentially fascist.

Chef's kiss emoji on this one. Absolute legend.

Ever had an elderly blues musician call you "youngblood"? Warms the heart.

Pretty good, but the Dems are equally rudderless and won't prosecute, just like last time.

Absolutely. An economic shutdown would have material effects.
