They just do nothing to stop the fascists when they have power and do everything they can to compromise with them.

My dad grew up in St. Louis in the 70's and 80's. He never heard his parents say "I love you" to each other or even kiss. This is because in America, love for anything other than the accumulation of wealth is forbidden. And definitely not because my grandparents were a terrible marriage.
Yeonmi Park spends her time tourring far-right podcasts and conventions. You might as well talk to Cubans in Miami about Cuba.

It's typically best not to use things dependent on wealth to assess age groups. A kid growing up in Hamtramck had very different experiences from a kid growing up in Birmingham Michigan, even though those two areas are only 10 miles apart.
Depends on the cutoff line. But i would typically say Zoomers are too young to remember 9/11 and old enough to have grown up with Marvel movies. Born late 90's-early 2010's. 30 is around the cutoff between Millennials and Zoomers so that wwill come down to individuals. But also, generations are pretty suspect as a concept outside of the Baby Boomers since that was an actual charatable phenomen
Amazon has more money than most countries. They can outlast any company in court, or just ban you from their services in the future.
Or you can get a window unit if you want your bedroom cooler in the summer and a heated blanket for the winter for a fraction of the cost. And once again, neither of those options will spy on you or stop working just because Amazon shit the bed 1000 miles away from where you live. My parents have a high end mattress that tilts but it doesn't need an Internet connection, and cost half the price of this thing. IoT devices are a luxury tax on people too stupid for all their money.
The top 1% of earners in the US made over $1 million last year. I doubt any lemmy users are in that category.
I have a mattress i purchased for $100 of my buddy when he moved out the country. He ordered it online the year before for $400. I can just throw it on the ground and sleep on it no problem when i move. Not sure why a mattress would ever need an Internet connection other than to spy on you
Idk what you want since you're only getting about 4 hours of night in the summer. You gotta just waste some daylight when you live that far north
People understand that their position is getting worse and worse every year. The liberal parties are all promising to stay the course and maybe throw a couple bones to token minority groups. The conservatives are promising to punish all the dirty minorities that ruined everything and make it all better. Your average voter has no political inclination and when one group says they aren't gonna change anything, and the other offers radical change, it's not surprising why voters will go for the change option.
What's the actual difference? You end up at the same place with either one.
