  1. Gee whiz, who would have guessed that life was for living? What a shocker.

  2. Forget switching parties. He should have been kicked out years ago.

  3. Christian Sharia is just another example of the USA incorporating the ideology of its public enemy #1. The other most recent examples are the growing fondness of Russia's authoritarian dictatorship and Nazi Germany.

  4. In Americanese socialist often means 'a leftist that the speaker does not like'
    51
  5. They can't. That's why withdrawing support would force them to negotiate in good faith for once.

  6.  @friendlypup5650  Israel needs to stop its terrorism. They have all the power and benefit from having this continue. Their war crimes never stop. They kill more in one week than Hamas has in DECADES.

  7.  @danieldaw1778  Apparently murdering a restrained black man who facedown is on the ground and not even moving is about as bad as breaking a window.

  8.  @Jonathan-du8fs  A fetus is not a baby the same that an acorn is not a tree. It is a part of the woman's body. It is literally her own cell that divided after fertilization by a man's cell.

  9.  @anzaca1  Regulation works, not spontaneous, voluntaristic rejection of exploitation that targets children (among others).
    27
  10. Politics around here have entered a weird stage where conventional astroturfing isn't even necessary anymore. This used to be the kind of thing that didn't leave the social media landscape, but now that landscape is everything--including msm.
    26
  11.  @pin65371  Rising house prices means their home is worth more...the only housing problem that could impact them is a bubble. Keeping housing unaffordable is what creates the bubble. Stop fearmongering.
    26
  12. After all that crying and moaning about tyranny, the organized criminals got more leniency than actual protesters did in the recent past.
    25
  13. Classists are too cowardly to admit that they want a two-tiered system that protects the powerful and punishes the poor for being poor
    25
  14. Incompetence is their only defense...and it's a bad defense yes.
    24
  15. It's also a silly phrase that only exists because of alliteration.
    23
  16. it means they don't represent anyone except Pierre Poutine
    23
  17.  @Andy-km1xp  What civil liberties? Criminals got arrested. They can claim 'legal protest' all they want to, but that doesn't make it so.
    23
  18. lmao, but in all fairness Genghis was way ahead of his time in terms of religious and racial tolerance (precursor to equality I guess)
    22
  19.  @whyamimrpink78  Liveable wages don't kill jobs. They stimulate economies, and reduce the need for welfare spending which then allows measures which lower the tax burden (not just the tax rate). Real unemployment is ridiculously high while wages are garbage and that isn't a coincidence: it's the cause. Racing to the bottom fucks over everyone.
    21
  20. Better yet give the warehouses to the union and let them operate a new business with the assets that our gov practically handed Bezos.
    21
  21.  @why-even-try-brotendo  Your excuses are not believable, but the idea that you're dumb enough to believe them is certainly plausible.
    21
  22. War effort always services the military industrial complex, and evidently anything that benefits that MIC is considered national security.
    19
  23.  @friendlypup5650  Hiding stuff under civilians...no. Israel just claims they were targeting Hamas then blow up whatever hurts civilians the most or media outlets so nobody will see what they are doing.
    19
  24.  @LovehardFightharder_  Nah, Christianity isn't the only religion with human sacrifice in it. Or maybe you meant the part where it is worthless if it isn't arbitrarily obedient. Not clear. Personally I'll stick with secular philosophy that valued human life, and positively so, before the first scriptures were even written.
    19
  25.  @newbieprepper8451  Imagine spending all your time looking for stuff to troll people about
    19
  26. Yes. Appeasement never works anyway. It would only embolden the corpos. Hold strong or get nothing.

  27.  @chris.kellly  More words of substance come from Biden than from Trump. It's a low bar, but it's still a bar.
    19
  28. well, their entire ideology serves the interests of multinational corpos
    19
  29. All were proven. The judge rigged it so the evidence doesn't count.
    18
  30. It's not even financially sensible. They are maintaining the dogma of capitalist propaganda over the actual functionality of a capitalist system.

  31. Innovation is code for higher prices or reduced quality. There is only one optimal use of funds.

  39. I think it's more a testament to the similarity of their provincial Cons and Libs. They're both bog standard neoliberals seeking to be 'centrist' (not a real thing) and capitalize on an appeal to balance (fallacy).

  40.  @Bishop_PastorRW  The convoy was not a protest. Your country has a long history that continues into the present of suppressing legitimate protest. Drag your knuckles back to your cave, trog.

  43.  @forresthinkson910  Putin has not achieved any of his strategic objectives and his country is only angry and suffering because of this campaign. I don't see anything smart. I just see disastrously stupid. Biden is just a middling politician.
    13
  44. moderately corrupt maybe?
    13
  45.  @haraldisdead  How is that racist? The Apollo program coincided with ghettos. This coincides a rebirth of Jim Crow laws.

  46.  @DbeeSapphire  "We had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe." Elon's father Errol said that when talking about their financial situation during Elon's youth.

  47.  @elizabethgenat-hung2645  You believed them when they said that? The original colonies were created by empires. Post-revolution expansionism was functionally no different.

  48.  @guywithjeep  The government opened the market up to foreign buyers. There is absolutely zero reason they can't put it back to closed.

  49.  Jgehff Hkinkcle  Atheism has no political alignment. It's not a stance. It's not even necessarily opposed to tradition, as there are nontheistic religious/spiritual traditions. Materialism is either synonymous with consumerism or is a basic recognition of physics...

  50.  @thereissomecoolstuff  just summarizing Tucker's lunacy

    12
  53. @jphilly819 That might be what the old charter says (translation I found doesn't say "every"), but a lot has changed since then either way. Regardless, it was Israeli forces that started attacking unarmed civilians, and provoked conflict by forcibly displacing ordinary people from their homes. Criticize Hamas all you want, but they don't cause everything, and they certainly don't exist in a vacuum.
    12
  54. @jphilly819 I mean, if you want to keep lying and ignoring the point, go ahead. It just makes your bias all the more obvious.
    12
  55.  @PEPSEP  Learn how to fact check.

  58. they aren't representatives anymore, just servants of Pierre Poutine

  59. Biden admin asks for compliance the same way "centrists" ask for "compromises"
    11
  60.  @ItsAllCulturalMarxism  It doesn't take abstract thinking to understand what follows from what he said. Being too much of a coward to be honest about it is not a valid moral defense. The legal system is just feckless.
    11
  61. 'I had nothing' except an inherited business. 'I only made 50k a year' while business assets accrued in value. 'I am mad that you are not helping workers' except by representing them, raising their wages, improving working conditions, and protecting their jobs.
    11
  62.  @andrewherrera7735  pffft Doing a speech isn't the same as doing an interview. Campaigning is mostly conveying a message, not engaging in a dialogue. There's debate but it's against other candidates. Campaigning doesn't happen when senators are in session and vice versa. They require different things.

  79. On average unions increase profits. So they would be richer. Amazon and other corporations are just too stupid to value anything other than immediate costs. They can't fathom long term, big picture planning.

  85.  @Badmansband  They also collect 99% of the benefits and have the lowest tax burdens. Inequality has been rising, profits are at record highs, and you think we need to be grateful that they've grifted us this hard? You're supposed to lick the boot, not take it down to the heel.

  129.  @forresthinkson910  I don't think Poland in WW2 is similar to Ukraine now. Nor have the invasions progressed all that similarly. Ukraine has put up a highly effective resistance, but sweeping through the undeveloped countryside should have been relatively easy for Russia. Their air superiority should have been a given. Instead they faced immediate supply shortages and morale problems. It is not going well for Putin.

  145. There is an irrational and entirely unexplained dislike for NDP even tho the policies best reflect what we want. It's the Patrick wallet meme. You get people saying yes to the entire platform then show them that it's the NDP and they go 'no that's not my party.'

Normally the phases are sequential. Normally they don't expend every resource possible to optimize the timeline. This time they carried them out simultaneously and had extra funding. Waiting for a specific number of years instead of looking at the data would tell us nothing. The data says it was done properly. Also, the illness is called COVID-19 because it started appearing in 2019. Try counting that number of years again.

  158.  @cassiusdhami9215  FPTP is unrepresentative. It regularly gives all the power to one party that won only a third of the vote, and not even the one that necessarily got the most votes! That can't happen with PR. With FPTP we can't just vote our conscience, because even millions of votes for one party doesn't necessarily mean even one seat. With PR it is very uncommon for voters to not get any representatives from the party they voted for, so they can choose freely without worrying about strategic-voting. FPTP's winner take all nature does not promote cooperation or faithful representation. It rewards those that treat everything like its win or lose for their party, appealing to the lowest common denominator, always being vague, and not disrupting the status quo. PR makes cooperation necessary. It ensures that voters are accustomed to representation and will not put up with anything else, because they never have to worry about voting their conscience.

Can't be anything negative other than angry because that's weak. Can't be angry because that's violent. Can't be happy or silly because that's not masculine. Can't even be emotionless because that's intimidating.

Twitch policies never made sense. Bans are totally inconsistent. Directing hate mobs is done with near impunity, but a term that you have to be told was used in a bad way in order to be allegedly be bad--is an instant booting.

  195. Bombing funerals, especially those for civilian bystanders that were also bombed by the same force, sounds like terrorism to me. Bombing a concentration camp, destroying hospitals, cutting off food, water, medicine, electricity, etc sounds like terrorism to me.

  196.  @WheresWaldo05  I take it you place some significance on appearing in 2019, but you didn't finish the thought. Also, I could replace 'vaccine' with 'COVID' for your first question. The answer for COVID is definitely worse. We knew that much even when the vaccine was first authorized for emergency use...because that's literally why it was authorized. That's the bar. And a number of years does not change any of that. You're just arbitrarily attached to the idea because it's an inflexible excuse for you to not think about the facts. And based on the science there will be no long term vaccine effect that isn't already apparent anyway.

  218. Investing in a larger peacekeeping force would be good. We gave up too easily on leading the world in that domain. Military doesn't have to mean war. It can mean relief and a tool for diplomacy.

  224.  @pdenny6326  That's not the premise. The premise is that there are many traits that can be female or male. These traits don't always match. That can mean intersex, or trans if you believe the brain can be gendered. I certainly do. If you don't think the brain is gendered then female or male identity would be a cultural invention, which would mean it's arbitrary. In that case it wouldn't matter if it doesn't match their traits. Those identities would still be as developed as we see now. It just wouldn't have anything to do with biology. Identity is fluid then.

Whichever stance one takes on the actions of people who premeditate gun violence against random civilians, it is vigilantism by definition. On the other hand, there is no proof that the victims did anything other than protest. Also, btw, sources have titles and authors. The name of the platform also helps, but if you put in a URL it might get bounced for any number of reasons (some of which would be your fault, and others that wouldn't).

    4
  285.  @mazzith  They would only be illegal if deemed so by courts. That didn't happen. As for your whataboutism... A) It was the CIA who claimed that Russians interfered, and it was proven. That much is not disputable. You're probably confusing it with the collusion probe which did get several convictions, but was largely hindered by Republican obstruction. B) I never said elections can't be stolen or that it can't be questioned. I'm merely telling you that you are wrong about this one. That's not hypocrisy. It's called 'knowing the facts'. C) Trump's own team, his AG, and the US cybersecurity agency said that the integrity of this election was not compromised. So the cyberattacks of 2016 don't seem relevant here. D) I have never complained that too many people voted in ways that have been done securely and fairly for decades in many states. I have never complained about automatic registry, or mail-in votes, extended early voting, etc. You are trying to conflate that with what would be at best a pedantic issue with how laws were passed...if it wasn't just a flimsy excuse to throw out elections results ONLY where your team lost. I'd say 'nice try' but even I can't be that sarcastic.

Sure they get stupid amounts of pretend money from the stock market, but their profits are less than the amount the siphon out of government coffers. On a specific note all of their medicines are overwhelmingly funded with public money. People are paying to develop a drug or vaccine and then paying again to have it, so that corporations can recoup costs that they never paid.

It could just as easily be that they didn't care if it was true or were incompetently naive. There's no way to build a case without a whistleblower, because only the executive branch directly knew it was bs, and even then it's on shaky ground without documentation they never needed to create. In any event, justifying a war and being partisan during an elections are not really comparable...ultimately people just need to learn skepticism. Fact checking is never someone else's responsibility. We all need to be vigilant.

  462. One of the things that irritates me is how many people try to downplay the genocide without even trying to address all the coverups, and how history has been replaced with propaganda. They act like land was given freely and deaths were just contagions accidentally spread. Make no mistake, first came mass-slaughter, then forced displacement and environmental devastation, concentration camps, and finally the systematic destruction of families and cultures. Even to this day the nightmares haven't all ended. People are starving, thirsting, and trapped without opportunity in terrible living conditions.

Unfortunately it's quite misunderstood and barely acknowledged, despite being known about for almost a century and effecting more people than MS. Doctors tend to give the exact wrong advice for it too (graded exercise therapy rather than pacing with a heart rate moniter) and that can make it permanently worse. I hope the tragic surge in cases (which happens with most outbreaks) will lead to proper recognition and funding for research and treatment.

They can't simply be reasoned out of it. Attention is the fuel. Without that the crackpots have no impact. Spotify is just one platform yes, but the ecosystem is not infinite. Every change adds up. Every step in withdrawing the megaphone moves us forward. Eventually we can get back to living without their dangerous noise being amplified. Otherwise we're just trapping ourselves in a system whose very existence is dependent on everyone feeling trapped by everyone else.

Saying some background check rules for firearms says nothing about access to an AR-15, let alone at age 18. There are already 'some' rules about background checks. And again it could be federal or state level with his nonanswer.

  600.  @geozap4518  A) You're assuming they weren't living there at the time bc of one person's reference to Jewish people living there at one point in time. People coexisted. Not everybody gets mentioned by everybody all the time. B) Picking one specific period of time and acting like it's the end all be all completely ignores the point. That land was conquered and reconquered by dozens of different factions. We could just as easily point to another time and say 'where were the Jewish people? This one historical reference doesn't mention them.' It means nothing. C) By their own admission, the Jewish people took that land from somebody else. So you can call it their "homeland" all you want. The earliest that historians can place them is north of what would become Israel and which was other things before that. They were with the rest of the Canaanites. Considering that the ancestral languages of both Palestinians and Jews are semitic it shouldn't be any surprise that they're both from the same general area of the eastern mediterranean. D) Keep clinging to this piece of straw. It's just a poorly thought out attempt at a gotcha question. You failed.

  603.  @humbleservant4726  Not melted no. Steel loses most of its material strength well below its melting point. The official report you all hate said as much but somehow ya'll are still talking about melted steel. Also the supposed observation of liquid steel/iron at ground zero was just someone saying it looked like that. The substance wasn't tested. There are many many other metals with much lower melting points that we would expect to find melted after an intense fire. So no surprise there. You can acknowledge that you made an error and there can be an honest discussion about the attack. Or you can refuse and in doing so demonstrate a refusal to be honest. I could explain the rest now, but I'd rather determine if it's worth my time first.

Also, making new buildings or even fitting an existing one to be a hospital obviously takes a long time. New mutations are documented regularly. The public generally only hears about a newly named strain. What part of 'constantly evolving virus' are you unclear on... (rhetorical) "both sides" is a copout phrase.

It doesn't necessarily provide the full picture even when the sources are valid, just by virtue of not including the rest of the story, or an essential bit of context. Richie selectively left out most things so if all you do is look at the page for that individual, then you'll only get that individuals part in things..which is not the full picture in the least, even if it's accurate.

If they spent as much time getting involved and making their voices heard, as they do complaining and jumping ship, then things wouldn't be as bad. Looking back on history, if previous generations were so quick to give up because the system is broken then none of us would even have the option to complain in the first place.

If you do then even if I did insult you, say by calling you oblivious, that wouldn't constitute an ad hominem fallacy. I would have to suggest that you're wrong because you're oblivious. Just as an example of course. Not like you ignored nuance yet again to complain that I wrongly stated that 'you ignore nuance in order to criticize people'. Why am I sensing irony?

  846.  @T.image79  Ancient Egypt had slaves, so did Mansa Musa. It is not disputable whether or not there was an industry that commodified human beings, was massive in scale, highly organized, and all about money in Africa throughout history. Also the west African slave trade that supplies western empires in the "new world" was through kings who had turned it into a business; a business so prominent that once the slave trade lessened they immediately went into economic collapse. There is no version of slavery that doesn't dehumanize or torture its victims. You are delusional, and are reinforcing racist myths not just about Europeans but about Africans as well. In fact, the very idea that something just as awful didn't happen in China or in Mesoamerica is a lazy act of apologetics on the behalf of tyrant slavers.

  897.  @zacyoung1948  Not to lead the government, no. His party never actually won an election. Hindenburg gave him power to eliminate commies, who were also Hitler's political opposition, after a false flag attack. Then he never gave the power back and used it to give himself even more power permanently. You are mistaken.
    2
  898.  @f3tsch906  Just sorta skipping over the part where they never actually won enough public support to get elected to a majority, and afterwards had to physically eliminate their opposition just to get one--I see. No, as I've stated already, they were only able to get power because their government was even more incompetent. The idea that it takes skill is what recently blindsided so many people to the rise of idiot-politics which brings the world closer to a revival of fascism.

There are still more neonazis in Putin's army than in all of Ukraine.

  933. The sunk cost fallacy says it was going to be F-35s only after the initial commitment was made. Other buyers marginally drives down the costs to 'slightly less of a massive overpayment' for something that doesn't fit our needs. NATO "obligations" are expectations that most members have shirked for decades. We are not sending fighters to Ukraine so it would be more productive to just buy weapons for them.

If someone is not voting because their vote will just be wasted under FPTP, then they aren't going to select a second option under RCV. They want to just vote their conscience. If they were fine with settling for 2nd best then they would just vote strategically under FPTP. RCV doesn't give them anything they didn't already have. It just inflates the vote count for candidates and parties that are no more popular than they were under FPTP. Only proportional representation like MMP can ensure that votes are not wasted.

  1040.  @mike1134  I literally just used the example voter type that you gave...either way, the votes still end up going to the same place. That's what happens wherever it is implemented. And 'many' in the USA can put their 1st vote into a third party candidate, but they're still going to a see a single digit % before it gets dumped into an establishment party candidate...and that's just for President (more attention). Breaking the EC threshold that way isn't plausible. They haven't manage to break 5% in almost 30 years. They haven't gotten a single legitimate electoral college vote in more than 50 years (faithless electors don't count). The only thing that would change is that there would be an asterix about earlier rounds put next to the final results.

The only substantial split they've experienced was when some of them started saying the quiet parts out loud...and then the entire party turned into that.

  1144.  @dedios03  SARS-COV-2 is contagious. It spreads from person to person. Individual choices impact the spread. The virus is dangerous. The vaccines are safe. More vaccinated still = fewer sicknesses, hospitalizations, lasting disabilities, and deaths. Having to get vaccinated is barely a minor inconvenience, especially compared to anything that comes from COVID. Doing nothing is not a better option. This is not complicated.

  1145.  @dedios03  "There's also alot of death and poverty caused by mandates." ...wtf r u talking about?? They made it free or otherwise affordable...and the cost was already way less than any other healthcare response to COVID. Might as well complain that light bulbs cost too much then choose to light your entire home with candles. Also, antibodies from getting infected are not good enough. The only research suggesting anything comparable to vaccinated immunity were all about mild-cases ONLY, and still showed that getting vaccinated in addition to that--was still a better and more reliable level of immunity.

  1161. Centrism, by definition, is the absence of a coherent philosophy. The only way to be 'in the center', not to be confused with literal populism (which is itself not to be confused with the colloquial meaning of populism which is basically just demagoguery), is by being incapable of choosing a position. Either you support individualism over collectivism or vice versa, or you stand for nothing and are a centrist whose only consistent endgoal is helping corpos rob the world blind.

  1164.  @audhdcreativity5899  They're anti-gmo, think organic farming is sustainable even though it literally requires more land to produce less, oppose to fluoridation of drinking water, and engage in wifi fearmongering just to name some issues. And if anyone calls them out on it they just claim that all the science that disagrees with them is tainted by corporate profit. It's childish and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding when it comes to how science works. Plus they entertain even crazier shit on their website to boot. Lastly, if you were wondering if I'm a climate denialist the answer is no. It's definitely happening. It's extremely bad. It's exclusively our own doing, and we need to fix it.
    1
  1165.  @audhdcreativity5899  Fyi "toxic chemical" is redundant, because everything is a chemical, including water and air. Pesticides occur naturally. All sorts of plants grow their own. So sustainability really just comes down to specifics, not whether or not to use pesticides. Monoculture is done in organic farming too. It's not prohibited by them, and monocultures are not required by 'conventional' farming. Organic also doesn't prohibit all pesticide use. Some in either group avoid using any. Organic rules just restrict it to older pesticides. Which is unfortunate because the newer ones that have fewer downsides like less toxicity. Oddly the dialogue about pesticide toxicity always seems to focus on the least toxic ones like glyphosate and neonicotinoids (which replaced more toxic pesticides). As much as one can point to them being the biggest money makers and say 'oh look profit', we can also look at how the organic industry smears their competition to gain a competitive edge. It's easier to look good when the alternative looks worse. That's about money too. As for bee populations, it was entirely overblown. Commercial pops never actually went down while loss rates increased.. That's what happens when hundreds of colonies are trucked together, cross-continent repeatedly. It's a whole lot of extra stressors and exposure that they'd never experience in the wild. Beekeepers compensated not by fixing these issues but by simply breeding more. As for wild populations it's mostly habitat loss, and the species affected most are indigenous to places that have seen intense urbanization or other disruptions like invasive species introduction. Lastly, there is work being done, in particular with soil to improve 'conventional' practices. So greater sustainability is being developed.

  1166.  @audhdcreativity5899  "if they are killing bees, and no one disputes that" It is widely disputed by the science. tier 3 studies show the harm is insignificant or just plain nonexistent. The narrative of neonics hurting bees is a political fabrication. It relies on lower quality tier 1 studies, using unrealistic dosages. This is especially jarring because neonics are applies to seeds, so exposure is basically zero for bugs. Here's an example of the divide between scientific and political views on the subject. "Global consensus finds neonicotinoids not driving honeybee health problems. Why is Europe determined to ban them?" Genetic Literacy Project Also glyphosate is an herbicide. It doesn't have any real toxicity to insects. Speaking of what is killing bugs though: they are in the same boat as everything else. Habitat loss, climate change, and industrial pollution (e.g dumping waste into rivers) have created a mass extinction event. We shouldn't use pesticides as a scapegoat for that. "safe and natural, non-toxic pesticides" No such thing. Pesticides are pesticides because they are toxic to some kind of pest (weeds, parasites, etc). Also, something being natural has no bearing on whether it's safe or not. Same for being synthetic. "who is behind the research" is far less important than the methodology, the experimental design, and whether it has been replicated. Funding sources don't guarantee that something is valid or invalid. 'Clean funding' can just as easily be used for garbage research. The only way to tell if it is legit is to assess it on the merits. Never worked agriculture actually. I just happen to follow skeptical circles. They focus on whatever happens to be the most common misconceptions, myths, and such of the day. Farming has been a big topic for a while for a number of reasons.

  1308.  @TheCommonS3Nse  Overreact to everything? Not sure what you mean. I guess I could also say the culture war of week stuff like Dr.Seuss is an overreaction, but I suppose that falls more into the category of political theatre.

  1371. We are still wasting a colossal sum on paranoid rightwing fantasies. Substance abuse has always been a public health issue. Warring against it just increases casualties. This billion dollar flush only worsens a problem that could be solved with 10s of millions, and we're expected to believe that a green economy with liveable working conditions is too expensive.

  1372. I never thought that people like Fauci were saying masks would be pointless. From the very beginning they were clear that health care workers would be able to make good use of them. This always indicated that if there was enough supply that everybody else could be taught how to wear one. Obviously a lot of people still don't know or refuse to do it properly for moronic reasons, and when the benefit is through combining use with distancing, proper handwashing, and isolation where applicable. People tend to reduce it just to masks, but no healthcare professional is saying just wear masks. So it's multiple kinds of silly to think that it would have been good to immediately recommend masks to the general public.

  1373. They get so worked up about trans girls in the girls room but I don't think they'd be comfortable seeing a bunch of trans boys walking in the girls room.

Would they angrily intervene only to realize they are getting what they supposedly want, then short circuit or demand that all trans students be banned from both locker rooms?

Everyone knows what dementia is, even if they're too partisan to see which candidate is probably ill. So the stakes are already clear. Assessing candidate fitness requires no mention of age. Either someone is fit or unfit. Alzheimer's at any age is equally bad, e.g at 40. Jon validated emotions and we're supposed to be what, grateful, impressed?

Canadians need to stop acting like all is foretold before voting begins, and in this case before the election has even been called. It was all doom and gloom, the Cons would coast to victory. Then that changed and it can change again. If you prefer working class policies then give the NDP more support, rather than falling to the circular reasoning of 'they don't have enough support so I won't support them'.

It doesn't work when dealing with authoritarians, nationalists, or traditionalists and the GOP is all three. The sad part is that there always useful idiots on the left. First they block solutions then say that the system cannot work, therefore it's got to go. And I don't just mean the neoliberals that infect both sides of the aisle. I mean the idiots that advocate for revolution by only ever talking about how things are bad and don't work, while shooting down every individual step in the right direction. It's easy to complain. It's easy to be against something. But a better system can't be built by reduction. It has to actually get built.

Which is clearly indicated by your next question, to which I say--you are misunderstanding the relationship of billionaires to governments. Billionaires only exist because governments hand billions to them. Taxing the rich isn't a response to wealth creation. It's a response to theft. Not a single one has higher net revenue, than the amount that they steal from governments--and the people those governments are supposed to represent. "Surely you can acknowledge..." That's your dogma. It's not based on anything. On the other hand, there isn't a single private healthcare system that is more efficient that a universal healthcare system. Charities can't even provide anything that we would call a healthcare system. Your economic ideology is based entirely in faith.

  1647. The average Canadian seems to know nothing or they only know farcical lies. If most people were at least somewhat informed we'd never have a a PCon government, federally or provincially. They have the worst track record by far and have never put in policies that have enduring popularity. All the best policy ideas came from NDP platforms, and they are the only ones not selling us out to big corporations.

I think the difference in dynamic is significant here, because Manchin is basically already a Republican and could (formally) flip. What's Bernie's biggest threat? Handing power over to the Republicans, which would be even less desirable for him than the current situation? Bear in mind that all the GOP needs is to have nothing get done. They don't need to get a majority. They just need to obstruct and if the Democrats do that to themselves that's good for them whether it's done by Manchin or a unified progressive caucus.

  1794.  @afrodinho  If you think she has never done anything right, then you don't know anything about her. Generally I recommend getting a basic level of knowledge before jumping to conclusions. Good luck. People get crumbs for a lot of reasons. One is that insipient idealists oppose incremental improvements out of stubbornness, refusing anything less than exactly what they want. It's a good way to get nothing. Better to be frustrated by inadequacy than total inaction, and better to direct that frustration at the people who are most opposed--not least opposed. Politics is filled with grey choices, and progress is incremental, even when it seems definitive (passing the 14th amendment vs the 150+ year fight to actually implement it). It's a marathon, not a 100m dash.

Then more Americans showed up, again, to vote 'NO' on the economy. What's happening now is that the Liberals get to campaign as the opposition because of Chump. They received a free win condition. Before that they were doing the same thing as the Democrats and tanking. People REALLY need to learn the correct lesson here: oppose the economy. When you aren't the opposition by default that means you have to criticize it from the left, which you should be doing anyway.

  1830.  @toriarose  First off, don't you ever dare assume whether or not someone has been victimized. Anyone can be a victim, and the notion that it so rarely happens to men that it can be disregarded is an ugly lie that covers up abuse. Secondly, no your article does not do that. You're cherrypicking a non-comprehensive review about one place, at one time. It doesn't even attempt to look at more than threats or sexual violence. Which obviously limits the scope to literally the only things that more often happen to women, or at least are more often reported by women. We know for a fact that men report both less often. I on the other hand focused on all violence including murder. Leaving that out is fucked up. You are obviously trying to gatekeep an issue so fuck off.

  1902. Whenever someone talks about what people are 'owed' just remember that this is not some cosmic imperative. It's an arbitrary line that is never specified and always ignores the real point: fairness benefits everyone and nobody is owed extreme wealth at the expense of labor. Society should work for everyone because that's morally good. It never needs to be more complicated than that, but it's also just functionally better than any alternative. Hoarders are the only problem.

  1906. There is no risk in going to Taiwan. China can't do shit militarily. There's too much corruption and too many scandals among senior officers, too many disputes between provinces and too much paralysis federally, in addition to having basically zero combat testing of their equipment or troops. There is no plausible scenario for them to invade Taiwan and posturing like they might is the best they can manage. Seriously, it is all for show. Just look at the contrast between how strong Russia looked before and after the 'special military operation'. China is even more of a paper tiger than that, with far less domestic stability. Which is really saying something considering the extensiveness of their surveillance state and the internal chaos in Russia now. It's a bigger gap than the one between their supposed 'Belt and Road initiative', and the fact that they just ran out of places in China to build gigantic ghost towns that prop up their economy, and needed it to sound like something other than a wasteful sham. The idea that there's a coordinated project that will be transformative for trade is really just that, an idea.

  2030.  @f3tsch906  You're probably getting the Beer Hall Putsch mixed up with the Kapp Putsch. The latter was orchestrated by the military. That a general strike ended that one is not incidental. It was literally the governments response and it worked. Hitler was not a central player in that one. I'm not talking about neonazis. Hitler never would have been in power if the Weimar Republic was not severely incompetent. He couldn't win an election. He couldn't overthrow the government by force. His strategies afterwards were really bad. Hindenburg was an idiot. Appeasement was stupid. The French military literally ignored what their own scouts were telling them. Most of western Europe had weakened their militaries drastically. Really it was a perfect storm of idiocy.

Nothing concerning NATO changed at all. Their involvement now is literally just guarding themselves, and NATO countries providing some of the support that Ukrainians wanted. The only thing that changed was a pursuit of business. Zelenskyy being less than perfect doesn't make him a puppet, and you have zero basis for that accusation. Whereas we know for a fact that the previous guy caved to Putin and betrayed the will of his people.

  2264.  @richardprofit6363  Also, moving goalposts without answering the question is not rational. That 'something greater than us' that you suppose explains the universe just becomes the thing to explain instead. It's the same unanswered question except you've asserted the existence of something which cannot be observed, whereas the universe is literally everything we can observe so it doesn't require assumption. And as Occam's razor is about parsimony, it sides against your view. Which is littered with other assumptions, such as the idea that modern cosmology rejects causation for the origin of our universe as we know it. Though I suppose that is more of a deliberate strawman you've learned to regurgitate.

  2308. ​ @yoredeerleader  "Liberals" did not come up with universal healthcare, or universal health insurance (which is the actual thing we have). The NDP brought it to the table. That's where most of those things actually entered the political sphere. Before then it was coming from activists and unions. Giving credit to the Liberals erases the struggle involved to force them to do it. Most of that list is also from decades ago. Parties change. Moreover, none of it changes whether or not they actually stand for anything. Doing the right thing when it becomes political expedient does not mean they reliably uphold the underlying principles. E.g they have spent more time sabotaging universal healthcare than reinforcing it.

  2324.  @EggEnjoyer  "None of those things you mentioned are inherent to a revolution." Then give an example that doesn't fit that bill, unlike the American Revolution which does. You're also vacillating between saying 'this is not democracy', and saying that democracy doesn't work (perhaps unintentionally). No real point in responding anything else if you can't even stay internally consistent within a given comment.
    1
  2325.  @EggEnjoyer  'Revolutions work' 'hey let me reference this revolution as evidence for it, but also I believe it didn't make a democracy' That's just one way you contradicted yourself. I could grab about 5 more from the previous comment honestly. Clearly you didn't understand the question (and it was a simple one) or what you've said, and I suspect for the same reason: dogma. You're reciting what you believe, not actually thinking it through. And you're giving canned responses, instead of thinking them through. Maybe ask yourself how most of the amendments of the constitution, including the 14th, got there in the first place. You might just learn how reform worked where the revolution did not.

  2326.  @EggEnjoyer  " ...you implied all revolution lead to" I said "Usually ... " Your 'eye for detail' is really kneecapping any ability you might have to make an point. It's also making this boring. Not that I expect a challenge, but you're just too easy.
    1
  2327.  @EggEnjoyer  Oh and I almost forgot, I mentioned the 14th amendment specifically as a test. You failed it btw. There's a massive disconnect between putting forward an idea, even in constitutions and charters, and the execution of it. The 14th did basically nothing until legal battles in court rooms created implementations for it. These landmark cases have spanned more than 150 years, and there are still more to come. Revolutionaries like to break things in service of ideals they can't actually enact. They, and you, don't have the stomach for reform because it requires building something, which is harder. Ideologically and in practice all your camp has is reduction. At most that can make a cave for troglodytes.

Police are apparently supposed to telepathically know a suspect's mental state and follow them indefinitely, wherever they go, until supports can be called in that don't actually exist, like the dementia-whisperers that people just assume to be a thing. Sorry, but dementia is brain damage. Even in hospitals it is not pretty when they get confused and don't listen, and that's where staff have the option to sedate and have all of the patient's information. What nurses have to do when a confused patient won't comply, and can't or shouldn't be sedated, is to call in a bunch of people to physically force the patient because that's the only option. Patients are hurt often. Nurses are hurt often. And management likes to pretend that there's a way to do it without even touching the patient, but nobody actually working on behavioural units for the elderly thinks there is an easier option. The store shouldn't have called the police. Calling them was a stupid way to respond to coming back to fix an accident. Society shouldn't neglect the elderly and the disabled. Allowing them to struggle this hard is just wrong. And yes the police need major reform, but the ugliness of this, and the fact that they are jerks doesn't mean that it's all their fault.

If they did it'd be entirely obvious, even to their deluded minds, that you can't define a system that way. 'Oh it's not real capitalism because it is not working?' Lol
