In principle it shouldn't matter, but I have often wondered how hard it is to publish without having some publication history with some affiliation, e...
I like skipping to the end to see how up becomes down. TL;DR version: socialists don't count as humans cuz they're dumb, and true humanity is thinking...
Yeah, that's the twist in the tale. I had thought the insurrection well planned but just between nutters on right-wing social media and messaging plat...
Yes, the insurrectionists might have a little too much independent initiative for his liking. It would be funny if he did pardon them, though. "I cann...
He usually does, eventually. His principles last about as long as their utility, maybe a bit longer. (Just recalling how contrite-ish he was about Meg...
A good and considerate point. :up: One could go further and ask: should people struggling to survive even care what farmers are doing? Factory farming...
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/16/us-capitol-rioters-donald-trump-pardons Capitol insurrectionists are begging for pardons from Trump. Q...
For the latter, yes. The former... I wouldn't hold my breath. Or waste it, for that matter. I understand what you're saying and the same thought occur...
Which doesn't work either. It's trivial to get a racist, for instance, to agree that such and such a deed or situation is regrettable: you'll see that...
My sarcasm detector is screwed. Genuinely took this as sarcasm. Read on, apparently not. Can you reconcile the proposed historical absence of racism w...
Let's work that through. If only 4,000 Americans had died of Covid but they were all young (< 60) and had no pre-existing conditions, would Covid be a...
Look, it doesn't matter much to me whether you want to come across as a liar or an idiot, so interpreting my statements as contrary ones is your call....
What adds insult to injury is telling someone born without your advantages that their failures are because they are not your equal. There was a psycho...
What? What just happened? Did I miss a thing? Absolutely. I'd say that about almost anything. But propagandising is not discussion. I think questionin...
No, it came to my mind too, but I just don't think you can negligently incite an insurrection. You can negligently kill someone or damage their proper...
Seems pretty consistent with the dictionary definition to me: But protest is not insurrection. Showing criminal intent is showing intent to commit tha...
Not at all. If I incite someone, that's a teleological action on my part, irrespective of its consequences. If I inspire someone, that's an interpreta...
You have to separate the President inspiring an insurrection from him inciting one. I don't think his rally speech is solid evidence. The insurrection...
Someone posted a list of from a study of common fascist characteristics more from the supporter's point of view and now I can't find the damn thing, b...
By definition an elite can't be all that inclusive. It can't, for instance, simply be a large minority. Irrespective, I am very comfortable in salary ...
Yes, I dig that you're drawing me into a different point. But it has so little to do with mine that it can't stand as a refutation of it. Violent insu...
Certainly not by Fox full stop. His privilege goes so far beyond his whiteness that his touted authority on ground level Britain ("the most tolerant l...
No, the solution to a problem is not always to ban it. I don't actually think there is a solution, not one that reverses the damage anyway. Either we ...
I do. Note the conclusions, and therefore his evaluation of the "if". This is a substitution error. The subject was not people accusing other people o...
Try reading it properly: In short, either white privilege is real and denying it is denying its victims, or white privilege isn't real in which case w...
How is this relevant? Counterpunch is not a synecdoche for white people. Even the few people I've tussled with on here (Brett, BitcoinCarlos, NOS4A2) ...
Talking about race isn't necessarily racist in the context of other racial prejudice. If you believe racism is negligible, i.e. there is very little e...
No. There is not a valid right-wing opinion on how Floyd died that differs from the facts. I reject a defense of belittling all victims of racism on p...
If your main point is that people who support far-right violent insurrectionists, who engage in baseless racist propaganda, and who promote propaganda...
Don't think there was a violent insurrection because if it, know any different, or are you suggesting that because Trump is being held responsible for...
Irrelevant. He stood by them for a week after his "I love you" and changed his tune only after the threat of being convicted for it was very real. You...
