I do not buy the reductive notion that there’s something special and intrinsic about Americans that makes them resistant to change or behave self-destructively. We're still dealing with too many people who supported Jim Crow, DECADES of Red Scare, 10 generations of American exceptionalism, Sherman not burning the entire South, Manifest Destiny, etc. |

We need the govt to step in and start regulating the size of cars, the brightness of their lights, etc. Spending a week in England made me realize how stupid our trucks are. If you vote for me, they'd get an instant ban. |

I get so pissed watching people hem and haw over who they’ll vote for and they cite “Trumps economy” like we didn’t literally all just live through a thing where we all stayed home and lots of people didn’t work 36 months ago.

"The definition contained in Article II of the Convention (on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide) describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part." Still a genocide. Nope, it’s not. It does qualify as ethnic cleansing, because Israel wants to remove an ethnic group, either by outright violence or a campaign of political and economic subjugation. You have two groups engaging in organized military activity against each other over a territorial dispute and one group has an incredible advantage over the other (the backing of the US military). The goal isn’t to eliminate Palestinians, but to make their lives so miserable that they will leave. Israel has deliberately danced around the legal line here. It's a genocide. |

Have you read the South Africa ICJ case? Makes a very convincing argument that there is clear genocidal intent. To argue that Israel could have just killed everyone already is to discount the fact that they are cognizant of international condemnation (which admittedly is weird to say given how brazen they are). |

We're still dealing with too many people who supported Jim Crow, DECADES of Red Scare, 10 generations of American exceptionalism, Sherman not burning the entire South, Manifest Destiny, etc. I dunno if that’s a good explanation or rationalization. In terms of historical intolerance (recent and less recent) and fucked up shit, we’re not all that unique. Maybe citizens of other countries diverge from us in terms of resistance to change or self-destructive behavior, maybe they don’t. If they do, I doubt American exceptionalism owing to the above underpins it. |

YOURE RIGHT CRUSTSACHE IS THAT WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR? TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT! IS IT THE THREAD YOU WANT? I DONT CARE HAVE IT! TAKE THE THREAD! TAKE MY OTHER THREADS TOO I DONT CARE IVE GOT PLENTY JUST MAKE IT STOP Please say this to a Palestinian, tell them how they'll be better off with either party. Instead of how maybe if average dem cared they might push her somewhere. Instead she had a cop on stage, talked about the military and evil abroad. Lotta Palestinians in Kentucky huh. |

The Last Online Marxist, can I still be a commie if I think that markets are the most efficient way of solving coordination problems and allocating resources in at least a few key circumstances?

can you admit gaza is a genocide and you'll vote to keep it going or at best do an Indian removal project on our dime? Since this already a shit show I’m just gonna say that it isn’t a genocide by the legal definition. Israel doesn’t want to kill all the Palestinians. They want them to leave. Happy now? Fucking loser Bruh. You’re smart and shit and definitely educated on traffic fatalities based on direction of turn corresponding to traffic control device indication but…this ain’t it. I just wanted to see what would happen ITT …also ain’t it. It’s a cop out. You’re passionately worried about a handful of people getting merked turning right in the most prosperous nation on the planet, but have the gall to say what’s happening in Gaza isn’t a genocide “bY dEfInItIoN”? It’s a fucking genocide dude, straight from the god damned horses mouth. The Nazis “just wanted the Jews to leave” too, and when they couldn’t move em fast enough, they slaughtered them. Fuck you man, I know you’re smarter than this. |
