Provide unprecedented aid and create social programs that aid the working class and that would create the strongest and most generous welfare state on earth, stronger than even that which exists in Scandinavia
Which is what we must demand the Democrats support
It was preclickbait articles written by alternative-adjacent freelance writers.
Aka, real people writing about real things. Some of which were vulgar. But life is vulgar. And so was the internet originally
A lot of large organizations either explicitly or tacitly support Zionism, so this isn't surprising.
It's a shame that Israel's barbarism is once again causing people who are Jewish around the world to be causelessly scapegoated and blamed for a thing that they have no direct connection with. And many people who are Jewish are anti-Zionists. But we can't let the Zionists conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism - that is a repugnant feat of hasbara propaganda
The Gaza genocide must be opposed and it is at least positive that this seems to be waking up the world to the horrors of Zionist colonialism
Supporting Israel's victims is drastically more disruptive to establishment power than supporting trans children.
Consequently, It's more likely for an organization to prevent its members from supporting Gazans than it is for an organization to prevent its members from supporting trans rights
This is excellent. Is it from something?
You were literally like a bull in a china shop with your response.
You were respectful and answered nicely
What?
I understand that it isn't what is done when cooking frogs. It's a metaphor, and i used it only for its value of analogy
Probably the same thing that happened with Dobbs - ultimately, not much of anything.
It's sad. But Americans need to stand up for ourselves.
When SCOTUS abolishes Chevron deference later this year and consequently destroys the federal bureaucracy we will be finished. Hopefully the FBI can lean on SCOTUS to prevent that, though it is doubtful they are astute enough to perceive Chevron's destruction for the national security disaster that it is
Maybe I see Roberts as a centrist because he puts the Court’s legitimacy ahead of his personal politics.
To dumb it down further It's really the difference between lawful evil and neutral evil or chaotic evil. Or the difference between longtermism and shortermism.
Roberts wants ultimate outcomes that are as radically right wing as those desired by Alito. The difference is that Alito wants those outcome to occur now. Roberts wants those outcomes to happen gradually over decades. This is because Roberts is afraid of blowback; Alito is aware of this argument, but he believes that the power of the Supreme Court and the Republican Party has been consolidated so absolutely that such fears of blowback are unreasonable and illusory.
The metaphor of boiling the frog gradually over a long period Vs dropping the frog into already boiling water is apt. You place a frog into a pot of room temperature water and then gradually turn up the heat until it is boiling. This prevents the frog from jumping out of the pot, something it physically could do at any time, because it doesn't perceive the graduality of the temperature changes. Alito et al understand the wisdom of slowly boiling the frog; they just believe that the cooking pot we are using is miles deep such that it would be impossible for any frog to jump out - and that we have also chained on a heavy lid to the pot that would also prevent frogs from escaping. We are that frog, and Alito believes that the GOP has fully constructed that enormous pot and lid. Under that worldview, there is no meaningful negative consequence for SCOTUS making drastic revisionist decisions whenever they want. The decisions may radically overturn precedent, but they are nonetheless unchallengeable.
It is our job as citizens to prove Alito wrong. If we don't then our standard of living will rapidly deteriorate even more radically than it already has since 1981. SCOTUS will remake the United States completely, and make it an absolute dictatorship of the billionaire. That must be opposed
Your initial point was that no one here should criticize the United States/Biden because we aren't in those meetings. Now your point is that anyone who pushes back against you will be blocked. I'm not sure what you're looking for
Your point is that only highly informed elites may criticize the United States. Which is incredibly snobbish and is a tactic to terminate all dissent.
There is far less sex happening today compared to recent decades. Which is a symptom of the broader loneliness epidemic
