Fuck if I know. Thankfully he’s super old though so he can’t last forever.

Moving military funds into food aid would be extra effective considering that world hunger is largely created by military spending.

If only there was some way we could have known he wasn’t a good guy. Like if, for example, he had famously said it’s good for the economy to poison poor people. Or if he had resigned in disgrace as president of the nation’s university top university after making bigoted comments and involvement in a case of fraud. Or spearheaded the deregulation of the finance industry that directly led to the housing crisis. Just hypothetically, if someone had done all those things, no sane person would invite them to be on one of the most important and powerful corporate boards.

Right?

No, even if we just destroyed their wealth, it would be helpful because they would no longer be bidding up scarce resources like land, corrupting our politics, etc.

I think there is a cause here most people don’t see. Voters often assume women will be more left or more compassionate, regardless of their actual opinions or policies. Because of this, to appeal to the median voter, female politicians often need to go further right, either intentionally or unintentionally, to compensate. Alternatively, this stereotype might allow them to get away with more of this behavior if that is their real personality/ideology.

Pretty week case laid out here. While I wouldn’t be surprised by CIA involvement, they present essentially zero evidence of such…

This saga makes it clear that all anti-terrorism laws need to be repealed.

I’d say both, colonialism is sort of a subtype of imperialism where the conquered territories get settled by the ruling people. Russia has engaged in this for a long time.

What I meant was, what is the mechanism that supposedly connects facial features to job performance?

Anyone who thinks this underestimates Trump’s sinophobia.

Disturbing. What is the proposed mechanism here? Or is it unknown?

There aren’t any.

I assume you mean JFK, was he talking about this?

But I mean we as in the people of the US. Our leaders have very different incentives than we do.

When are we going to start talking about abolishing the FBI?

Can’t be passed over for the Nobel peace prize if the prize committee is reduced to radioactive slag.

Wasn’t it just the other day that the China apologists were trying to convince us they’re abolishing the death penalty imminently?

Should disabling these cameras be considered community defense? Discuss.

I don’t wear any flags because I don’t support authoritarian governments (including the Canadian government). In fact, if you paid attention, you might realize the comment you replied to was me offering an alternative solution for those who have this concern…

This is your brain on nationalism, folks. I hope you can find your way to recovery.
