And all the wrong lessons were learned:
James Lindsay, a prominent right-wing pundit, had submitted the aforementioned adaptation of Marx and Engels’s work and gotten it published. The essay’s publication, per Lindsay, is proof that the far right is basically the same as the far left: that it is, in his words, part of a “woke right” corrupting conservatism from within.
What an idiotic take.
Republicans: supporting the military by driving their children to despair.
Her core principle of “fuck everyone who voted for me, I got mine” does align perfectly with her new party.
Under Trump the USA will become a net importer of assholes and exporter of decent people.
Self-hosting makes more sense every day.
There are several of us.
There have been plenty of articles in popular media recommending Faraday bags for electronic devices. I have them for credit cards and car keys. It’s definitely not evidence of criminal intent.
How about the question I asked: If we continue to depend on fossil fuels, what’s the plan for mitigating the environmental disasters it causes? Sure, everyone can see that in the short term there’s an economic boost from this stuff, but the effects are already starting to bite and will only accelerate, and in the longer term it’s a massive loss. What’s the plan for dealing with that? Or is the plan just not to have a plan?
People have been speculating about Putin’s weird posture and movements for years. Whether or not it’s due to health problems, he does genuinely just move weird. No need to hypothesize deepfakes.
And just ignore the disasters the continued use of fossil fuels brings upon us?
The danger is that those less well-off people who are currently supporting privatized healthcare will see actions like this, hear the conversations around it, and figure out what the real issue is, unless the media obfuscates it with spin.
And this guy may have been fairly well off (his family apparently are wealthy). But he doesn’t have to be poor to get people thinking and talking.
They either can’t see what’s going on, or they can’t admit it in case it encourages solidarity among the poors.
If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.
Look at all the lengths they go to when the victim is a rich exploiter.
During Monday’s press briefing, Tisch described the lengths detectives had gone to track down Thompson’s suspected killer.
“Our NYPD investigators combed through thousands of hours of video, followed up on hundreds of tips and processed every bit of forensic evidence,” she said. “We deployed drones, canine units and scuba divers.”
A reporter asked if similar resources were being expended to track down the killer of 17-year-old Yeremi Colino, a teen living at a migrant shelter who was fatally stabbed in Lower Manhattan the day after Thomson’s killing.
It really is disgusting how the USA devalues the lives of ordinary poor people while glorifying the greediest and most selfish sociopaths, and how it takes the killing of a rich person infinitely more seriously then the killing of a poor person.
Well, that definitely puts him within the top few hundred million suspects.
Everyone complains, no one votes. It’s pathetic.
Not according to the reports. They’re saying it was a Welrod or B&T VP9 pistol.
The problem is, people understand so little that they vote for the people who will do the opposite of what they want. Either that or their hatred of other people eclipses their desire to live in a well-run country.
So if you play mad libs you come up with grammatically correct sentences, and if you change all the nouns to their opposites you get something people with the opposite opinions agree with. You’re right, it proves nothing.
