In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. As a descriptor term, reactionary derives from the ideological context of the left–right political spectrum. As an adjective, the word reactionary describes points of view and policies meant to restore a status quo ante.

As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics; the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present. In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

Reactionary ideologies can be radical in the sense of political extremism in service to re-establishing past conditions. To some writers, the term reactionary carries negative connotations—Peter King observed that it is “an unsought-for label, used as a torment rather than a badge of honor.”

Can you clarify? You’re saying you don’t currently want to try TT because you don’t think it’s existed long enough, and/or that you didn’t try it before because you didn’t think it would last that long?

Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. “It’s just a fad”, “it won’t go anywhere/be useful/last long”.

I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn’t controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it’s not important?

That’s fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They’re not coming for “us” at least!

Anyone else feel like millennials/xoomers that refuse to use Tiktok are as out of touch as boomers that refused to try using the Internet? The sound almost exactly the same

I would hate to be that stubborn

You and what army?

I mean, like are you from Iran another country likely to attack them or something? Who do you see attacking Israel, in that scenario

I didn’t downvote you, btw. Just wondering which one of us is more confused here. lol. No hate

What are the benefits that come from unification, like for the SK people, other than just helping the struggling NK people?

Yeah, that’s how I’m interpreting it as well, but I could be a bit biased given the fact it seems to be going on everywhere

I mean, isn’t she just saying it doesn’t make sense to fight back since that could lead to war with a nuclear power?

Idk seems like the thing a smarter Israel would’ve said, and Hamas never even had nukes

Are the pro-NK folks in the room with us now?

Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK? That seems ridiculous. Does that guy just really want to start a war with NK or smth?

What? An arms dealer advocating for less restrictions on selling weapons?? No way!!

I was just dealing with this infuriating issue as well! Besides marking it spam, and giving the app a bad review, I was able to wvwbtuyfibd a setting near my email address/contact info that said something along the lines of don’t email me anything - it’s really not that obvious (I remember it was just text that was underlined).

Good luck finding it! Let me know if you don’t

evil (n.): a manifestation of profound immorality and wickedness, especially in people’s actions.

Haha. Nice. I totally see what you did there.

You straight up ignored what I wrote and talked exclusively to yourself again! That was truly excellent

Mad disrespect to you as well!, Mr. I’m Totally Super Smarty For Real Pants!

You know “computers” originally referred to people that would compute equations, right? I didn’t realize there were people that thought we actually built computers because they were less powerful than our existing computers.

You really do learn something (about the average level of education) every day

Fuck Nat Turner too!

/s

Ok, but what about the most important thing? Are they freaks 😈

I mean, do you know anyone that would actually care about this? How many would sit and read/watch a story about it out of their own interest? How loud would you have to be to get heard?

The average American is simply too stupid (read: “overworked”) to care about any kind of personal civic duty. We’re too busy thinking of everything we wish our country would do for us, not what we could do to save the country. Tbh, must of us don’t even know what good citizens are supposed to do

We’ve been doing it for decades. Why stop now?

We still have US soldiers in Iraq? Are we still getting/controlling oil there or something

It’s been pretty cold here in SoCal.

Why would ai choose to become stupider?
