  In all fairness, where Republicans are concerned gulags are warranted

  Well now I’m curious as to how they date oral histories

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In theory if you could use any profits to make counter-investments or buy enough stock to be able to influence them to move in a different direction then your strategy might be viable, but unless you literally just buy 1 share to be able to harass them at stockholder meetings then in all likelihood your money is doing more harm than good.

  Best to just straight up invest in organizations that are effective in stopping these things and influencing policy against them.

  There are some people who are so far out in left field that they come back around on the right again.

  Hi there! Did you know that horseshoe theory is complete and utter bullshit? A quick perusal of even Wikipedia will quickly inform the uninformed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any country that doesn’t want to be invaded should acquire nuclear weapons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some do. Hydro is a net positive, not sure about wind but probably, but last I heard solar not so much. That may have changed since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most are safer than nuclear, but until the environmental cost of manufacturing them is outweighed by the benefit of their use then nuclear is the least intolerable stopgap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Liberals have always been closer to fascists than socialists. Look which way liberals in Weimar Germany went.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem isn’t that they exploded one time. The problem is that that one explosion is still happening and likely will be for quite a while.

  On the other hand, modern rock exploding plant designs are so much better that it’s very unlikely to repeat itself, so there’s that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are disabled people and the elderly going to survive another Trump presidency?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well they didn’t do great under Cuomo, that’s for sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But not intentionally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Respect for others property might follow respect for others but that’s not a popular concept in America

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the stock market?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A graph of rich people’s feelings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit, Russia is communist? Why didn’t the Central Committee send me the memo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oftentimes, life just isn’t fair.

  Remember to thank a capitalist for this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardcore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is, in fact, quite metal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Either this is a significant personality change that would indicate an illness requiring treatment, or this is who he’s secretly always been in which case you’re really not losing anything but your illusions and if this is the last time you see him then you’re not really losing anything important.

  If it’s the former it may help you to feel better by trying to get him some help, even if you fail then at least you tried. If it’s the latter then it’s just best to cut your losses as soon as possible and move on.
