    Yea. The politician whom they most support, otherwise said to be their “most preferred”.

    You know what is another way to say that something is an individual’s “most preferred”? It would be to say it is the individual’s “favorite”.

    Thus, people, in fact, do have favorites.


  • Thank you. This incessant capitulation to the lowest common denominator is why across the world we are seeing a rise in regressive, right-wing ideology.

    People stopped fighting for better and have just consigned themselves to accepting literally the 2nd worst option out of fear that the worst option will succeed.

    It’s a shitty catch-22 that is fundamental aspect of electoralist politics and why I vehemently am against them as a political structure.






  • Taxation becoming automated and controlled by our place of employment is exactly why it is paramount that workers own our places of employment even more so than in the past.

    If we own our places of employment, we can collectively refuse to continue funding this fascist regime and utilize those funds for our own local, grass-roots initiatives.

    I never said science can’t be bad, Again, your myopic take is so fucking simplistic and surface level. You even admit to intentionally ignoring systemic reality as if it is inconsequential, which is fucking stupidity at its finest. Like, congratulations for stating the obvious: you need people to perform labor for something to happen. No fucking shit, Sherlock. Now that we have the obvious out of the way, maybe ask yourself why they are performing that labor and what are the system forces that drive thar labor to he performed in the first place?

    It isn’t about could the park be built, but would it have been built. The answer to that is no, it wouldn’t have been built in the first place if not for the driving forces of capitalism (represented by Hammond, the capitalist owner who had controlling authority over the park’s production) dictating the actions of those who actually labored in the production of the park. The park also couldn’t have been built without the engineers who constructed the subpar infrastructure or an IT tech to create and install the park’s faulty security system.

    Those engineers built the park the way they did because Hammond didn’t want to pay extra for fail-safes as noted in the book (i.e. the capitalist owner was driven by the profit incentive to neglect material conditions of the park) And the IT systems failed because Hammond decided to neglect staff pay, specifically Nedry, in favor of chasing the capitalist profit incentive. This same logic applies to the scientists who only conducted the research they were conducting because they were hired by Hammond to specifically do so.

    Again, please fucking learn to look beyond the surface and critically examine things. I know it’s difficult but you can do it if you actually try.

    And yes, bad science is being spouted from the white house. Did you never stop to think why RFK Jr was put in that position of authority to spout his bullshit from? Did it never occur that some people would be set to benefit from the spreading of misinformation? It’s explicitly so they can manipulate people into being okay with dismantling government functions so the oligarchy can pocket the savings from not having to spend government money on welfare.

    It is 100% capitalism’s fault. Those scientists are doing a job because we live in a society that necessitates having one to meet our basic needs.

    We don’t know their individual lives or circumstances that could be forcing them to take on that position, but we do know that those circumstances only exist due to the overarching system, i.e. the capitalist economy, they live under.

    Your take is grade-school level simplistic that just assumes they simply have to be bad people instead of understanding the complexities of systemic forces that dictate our society.

    Please, for the love of God, learn to look beyond the surface of something and learn why things are the way they are instead of just assuming nonsense.


  • None of it was because the scientists thought that dinosaurs were amphibians. In the lore of the books, DNA from reptiles, avians, and amphibians were used to fill in gaps in the dino DNA.

    The book explains that the DNA used to fill those gap was chosen specifically for certain traits that would make for more attractive or durable creatures for the theme park, highlighting how what was being done “in the name of science” actually had nothing to do with any real scientific progress or discovery.
