This is the academic and historical definition of liberalism that I’m using. Your US civics teacher gave you the brain damage to think liberalism is the opposite of conservatism and not just a clever slander of progressives.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
Different evolutions of the same ideological movement representing the same socioeconomic class. How is this hard to understand? All US presidents have been liberals. Different types of liberals exist but they are still liberals.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
You seem to have some completely backwards idea that liberals are anti-billionaire socialists when liberalism is pro-capitalism by definition. NY Times is the mouthpiece of american liberalism.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
Ahistorical nonsense. They don’t believe in a nobility by birth, but they absolutely believe that some people “are just better than others” and who should rule. Its so foundational to the ideology that its written into the US Constitution. Anyone who believes that capitalism is a meritocracy (ie Liberals) believes there should be a liberal elite.

This guys roughly as popular as Bernie Sanders was in 2015 and the NY Times somehow can’t connect the dots.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
In our day and age liberalism is center right. It was left wing back in Napoleonic times. But its post-cold war now. Capitalism and thoroughly replaced feudalism.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
The Bourgeoisie are the elite in liberal democracies, and liberalism is their ideology.
Do not confuse liberalism with progressivism or leftism. It’s dead centrist at the moment.

Its actually way down now. That line jump is from Thompson selling his stocks before getting his claim denied. One of the reasons people suspected it being a hired hit (which I doubt).

justifies civilian casualties.
The entire goal of IDF PR is this.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 2 months ago:
Wtf is that mean. Tunnels aren’t communication devices. Also Hezbollah famously has vast tunnel networks under southern Lebanon.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 2 months ago:
Historically Hamas has been the amateurs and Hezbollah the pros. Hezbollah has actual victories against the IDF. Hamas’ military success last October was completely unprecedented. Its generally believed that Hezbollah trained Hamas into the fighting force it is now. And since Iran trained Hezbollah you get people claiming Hamas is an Iranian puppet.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 2 months ago:
Its accepting Israeli propaganda to say that this was a precision strike. This is like using cluster munitions.
Whenever Israel comes up with an idea for an assassination they do it because they can. Its a force of habit for them.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 2 months ago:
Hezbollah was using commercial grade pagers because they’re a militia. The purpose of pagers are to contact them when their off duty. Many of these pagers blew up in homes, grocery stores, and other public places. Many civilians were killed and most people injured were bystanders.

Holy fuck the Gravel Institute is a nostalgia trip. Can’t believe those kids still have a job.

Objectively silly statement given the entire history of the space race.

Please remember that this particular groyper meme is a literal copy of a Trump 2016 meme with the word “Trump” replaced with “Biden” and was deployed regularly by the alt-right. Please keep that in context while you give the argument that its in a totally different context. Its like responding to dog whistling accusations with more dog whistling.

Its literally a copy of a 2016 trump meme except they replaced Trump with Biden. This meme was deployed whenever Trump would “shit the bed” by 2015 standards.

I suspect BlueMAGA are Trump-to-Biden voters. Like this is Project Lincoln bullshit.

No that’s a different case in Georgia which we haven’t had a verdict on yet. The recent indicants were from the Stormy Daniels case in NY.
- Comment on Felonies, gotta catch 'em all 6 months ago:
He hasn’t been sentenced yet and won’t be for months. Its possible that he won’t be sentenced untilafter the election. He’s also been indicted for paying the porn star, Stormy Daniels, hush money.
So, out-of-context, its just another rich dude doing money crime in the US. Its not like he’s been convicted of being a russian asset or doibg war crimes. Convention is to give him a slap on the wrist. But external political pressures and him being a unique dumbass to the judge will probably result in a tougher sentencing. But I doubt there will be any prison time, even white collar.
Also you cans still run for president from prison. Eugene V. Debs ran as the Socialist Party candidate while jailed for sedition during WWI.

There is no changing a society built upon colonization. Many have tried.
How does South Africa fit into that perspective?
- Comment on Should I permanently leave Israel? 6 months ago:
In general I agree but this is Israel we’re talking about here.

Even worse are the genocide apologists IMO.
Imagine understanding that both candidates are and will commit genocide and sweating online about your choice. There is no direct action, there is no private sector, there is only the ballot and there is death.
To these liberal genocide apolgists: Please, evolve from an electoral wonk to an NGO volunteer already.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
But the thing is saying “Joe Biden is committing genocide” actively harms your own aims of electing Joe Biden, regardless of whatever your argument is.
So the only rational decision is to stfu about it or start doing genocide apology or denial.
Or you can have a moral spine I guess.

Protesting Israel is considered antisemitism in Germany even if you’re Jewish. Real antisemitism is also on the rise but all pro-Palestinian protests are also lumped in. Anti-Zionist jews (Jewish Voice for Peace, etc) always on the forefront of these marches.

None of the hostages were raped or are being raped. This is total Birth of a Nation, “They’re coming for our white women”_ bullshit.
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 8 months ago:
I think the bigger problem is Germany arresting Jews for antisemitism.
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 8 months ago:
I know your being sarcastic but I just want to point out that this is incorrect
here is no genocide if you don’t kill them with the intention to wipe them from the planet
If you plan to cull a demographic by only 10% its still genocide according to the UN. This is the definition that South Africa’s case at the ICJ will be ruled under. Under this definition all ethnic cleansing requires genocide.
