what about Biden signing a law prohibiting railroad workers from striking, or advancing an immigration bill that he said gave republicans everything they wanted

Why is it bad to find out what a ufo sighting is? And no, it's not ok for me to tell my friend I don't think there are spaceships from other planets here, he gets really upset when I won't say I think it's possible
The other weird thing is got here because this was retweeted by a disinfo reporter

this whole convo is stressing me remembering all those convos where one of my friends is like "do you think aliens made the pyramids?" and if I just say "no" then I still have to hear all his reasons he thinks it coooooould be and if I say "well, I don't think it could be," he calls me close-minded

I think the problem is the austerity mindset (we only have so much money, anything we do is at the expense of something else) government has a broad range of priorities it should be addressing, and it should have a tax code that pulls in enough revenue to do those (like the ones before the 70s)

Did you see the Chinese animal martial arts one linked in the New Yorker article on these videos?

Is that really where we are? There have been plenty of movements in my lifetime (Solidarity is the first one I remember) where people have successfully fought back against their government.

There are so many National Review articles by Charen about Obama that make similar arguments about him, and how his behavior is beyond the pale, that it's hard to take any of this seriously

Well, a large part of Mona Charen's output on National Review up to 2017 was tan suit-type coverage about Obama, so my guess is Brown Man Bad

"Croesus then asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians he would destroy a mighty empire."

lol, looking at all Mona's old column's about Barack Obama in NR

Is "kidz 2day r dum" content on the rise or is it just me?

You know we can look at your replies and see that you aren't replying to any of the, say, cis men who are commenting on this

I feel genuinely flabbergasted by the defiantly anti-journalistic approach of NYT Comms here.

They're saying the NYT's reporting on the stance of the American Medical Association is correct, despite the American Medical Association saying their stance is different from what NYT reported.

this makes me so happy

Is this mass surveillance really about "protecting children"

Thanks! And ugh

do you have a link to them pushing the Seth Rich conspiracy? All I can find are articles about the conspiracy theory on the right, not articles that promote it.

lol

He comes across as very "there are no accidents/coincidences, everything has an explanation" so he has to make up these conspiracy narratives instead of just waiting for more info to come in

Oh come on, he was using his "game theoretical analysis" to explain why the Israelis bombed that girls school intentionally (in his video on the 4th day of the war) and we know it was the Americans who did it

So-called Professor Jiang is famous for predicting the Iran war. He has 2 million YouTube subscribers and has appeared on many shows

He believes Roman history, human evolution, and the Holocaust are nonsense. He teaches conspiracy theories as if they are actual history

Gore, if nothing else, would have given us liberal replacements for Roberts and Alito, which would have made a huge difference down the line (althought who knows if O'Connor or Rhenquist would have retired in that case)

Honestly, I feel like we were headed towards populism regardless- already by 2000 income inequality had soared, and Friedman's ideas about shareholder value had taken over the corporate world. Eventually talk about the modern economic order making things better for everyone was bound to ring hollow

and it didn't seem like there was anything to make the story I learned special

If we're talking about the very, very start, I think it was learning that all these other people had all these other creation myths- maybe this guy came out of his shell and made the world from the shell, maybe this couple dipped their spear in the water and began piling up mud to form land-

So many arguments over whether (insert complex work of literary fiction or arthouse film) contains the aesthetics of fascism and it turns out the aesthetics of fascism is just this.
