It's always interesting when you see a new meme emerging from the rightwing information wormhole into the open internet. This week's must be "NGO" used as some type of slur.
Anyway, the economy was rocking under Biden, we had the largest investments in manufacturing in decades (the advanced kind, not mud production), record low unemployment, stonks going up, etc.
Inflation is pretty much the only issue that mattered, which was a global phenomenon that America navigated better than anyone else, and there's almost nothing to say about it. Well, you can lie and say that you'll reduce prices on day one, despite having no mechanism to do so, which I suppose is the real takeaway: Dems should blatantly lie more.
- ok123456 2y agoThe terms NGO-speak or PMC didn't come from some "rightwing information wormhole." These are very real ideas and concepts that average people internally and instinctively revile: they are no longer people but "human resources."
- sorcerer-mar 2y agoOooookay ?
- ok123456 2y agoOk.
- watwut 2y agoThey totally did. Sorry but no one but rightwing information wormhole seen NGO as something nefarious in principle. It is just laundering far right bullshit again.
- ok123456 2y agoSo anyone critical of the Gates Foundation for distorting public health priorities through his NGO slush-funds is participating in "far right bullshit" again? This is demagoguery.
- monkeyfun 2y agoI 100% get you, genuinely, but you have to realize that even mentioning that in most people's eyes legitimately makes you look at a glance like you're going to talk about Bill Gates' 5G rna vaccine autism microchips and how soros is a reptile infiltrator. Naturally and as we all know, Zuckerberg is actually the reptile. And more to the point, it really was and still is next to nobody but some right wingers who were complaining about NGOs in that fashion -- it's an optics hurdle that has to be overcome, especially as it's usually only focused in on a couple offenders but ignoring many more. Generally, it'll take more effort and tact to explain yourself as a result, and if we're talking about where it came from, it really does appear like it's just appeared suddenly out of the rightwing-o-sphere to many.
