  1.  @jeffhuett101  Exactly.

  2.  @asiatmpo1  NATO grants membership solely by unanimous consent of all existing members. Hence even Montenegro could block Ukraine from joining, nevermind Germany or France. The rest of your stuff is about as well-informed as your knowledge of NATO criteria for membership. You've memorized the social-media approved, fact-free talking points.

  3. Choice means the choice to be a birth parent someday. Some people decide to do that in their 30s and 40s, and had no idea they would want to when they were only 16.

  4. Let's put aside the ethical and humanitarian arguments that those in power are indifferent toward. Do people really believe that they can subdue all of these young, healthy, hardy Palestinian men? That is not what will happen.

  5. This was brilliant. Especially from 13:09 on. Only people like those of India are well-poised to broker peace.

  6. @North Korea Is Best Korea Vijay gave an explicit example: the proposal to investigate ALL reports of war crimes in Afghanistan, of course including those of the Taliban. The US threatened the investigator. Say. How come you missed that part? Oops.

  7. @North Korea Is Best Korea So it's selectively shadowed. That's the new thing on YT. Now I get it. Vijay mentioned Afghanistan, etc. You didn't listen. 🤣

  11.  @timoback3000  Correct. We know what happened.

  13.  @shamsheerg7519  I see. You failed to understand. Choice means the choice to be a birth parent someday. Puberty blockers in adolescence can and do remove that choice. You've been duped by the rhetoric. Of course I oppose the sterilization of minors.

  14.  @jakescott8112  This could happen. This winter, I plan to study hard, watch my money carefully, and cook a lot of bean soup. And hope against hope for a good spring.

  15. ​ @mwmatthews1 The burden is on her to support her accusations. If she knew about this bizarre conduct, did she tell anyone at the time? As an animal lover and vegetarian, it's unfathomable to me.

  16.  S S  Is she lying about births and miscarriages?? Or are you biology-challenged?

  17.  S S  What? A person who escapes a cult, has the presence of mind to keep her family's whereabouts secret, and writes a book about her experiences is a "victim?" No, when she meekly obeyed cruel and senseless orders and permitted herself to be denigrated, then she was a victim. Now, she is a VICTOR. Write your own book. We'll see how you do.

  18. ​@yurei8 No parent should be allowed to deprive a child of a fundamental human right, such as the right to have their own children someday if they so choose.

  23. Did you read the unfair labor practice charge? No, simply occupying a space that others believe you should not occupy is not "violence," even if the latter are ultimately judged to be correct. One's own workplace, the environs of one's workplace, traditional First Amendment fora, designated First Amendment fora, etc., . . . You think it's clear who does or does not have a right to be there?

  24. Too easily, especially if you are law enforcement.

  27.  @Curt-Gevert  Was any of it to compensate you for lost wages or benefits from your job? If not, have a talk with the lawyer. In any case, it should have been explained to you in detail. As in, a full accounting.

  31.  @joriankell1983  How many corporations spend more on lobbying than they pay in taxes? Remember the first time a handful did that? Funny, that is now a normal strategy. You wrote: "Did you know major corporations are not the majority of the economy?" This is a very vague statement, pretending to be an objective quantification. Please explain what you meant and how you measured that.

  32.  @joriankell1983  Oh, okay. It was just something you made up. No problem.

  36.  @garymorris1856  What part of she is insane right now don't you get? People sentenced to death who cannot be executed because they became psychotic while awaiting execution and were judged to be legally insane have been treated for mental illness in order to execute them. It has been a subject of debate among psychiatrists whether it is ethical to participate in treating such inmates, when executing them is the ultimate goal of the treatment, with doctors on both sides of the issue. You never heard of this? This has NOTHING to do with the conviction. Nothing at all. I'm truly sorry if this reasoning is too tough for you. I simply wonder why.

  39. What I want to know is why people like Richard Wolff, and the (real) left in places like France saw through the vaccine mandates and passports, while Naomi Klein did not? The first person I heard object to requiring health care workers to be vaccinated or lose their jobs was a leading member of the French Communist Party. As he correctly pointed out, these were people who risked their lives in 2020 to care for the rest of us, and many contracted COVID and recovered. Why would you force them to vaccinate? Then in early 2022, Clementine Autain pointed out that over the holidays, she contracted mild COVID and could be admitted anywhere with her vaccine passport in hand, while a healthy unvaccinated person would be barred. All of this is obvious. Why is Naomi Klein weaving this story about alternative truths to obscure it? The lady protests too much.

  44.  @therobbieunited  Oh. I had no idea the point was to make the economy the highest priority in a the midst of a worldwide health crisis, or that no lockdown was the only means of preserving the economy. Thanks for the candor.

  45. Too bad the US didn't have people like Levy to hold government accountable on September 12, 2001, and after. 😢

  46. I pity Sandmann at this point. He has dreadful parents. Before you attack him, try to picture it.

  47. @benjaminfranklin8412  I agree with you. How anyone could be duped into supporting the grave risk of sterilization of minors is beyond me. Does a girl have to like pink, wave a pompom, and ask for a pushup bra at 13 to be worthy of having the choice to be a birth mother someday? This is whack.

  48. 1. Read their joint statement, issued a few weeks before the invasion. 2. Note that China has never called the invasion an invasion.
