We need to start responding to these masked kidnappers how you should respond to any masked kidnapper.
With lethal force.

I'm sure the guy credibly and publicly accused of rape by numerous women was hanging out with Epstein for the right reasons.

And the first one doesn't even have a "good" side. Literal pointless death for imperial ambition. Even though my grandfather fought the NAZIs, as righteous a war probably can be, he didn't talk about it for fourty years. It was not a good time.

Do you think a group of rebels overthrowing an empire is an apolitical act? If not, how could dramatizing such a group, not also be a political statement? Even a statement as trite as empire bad is political especially when the author is a citizen of the dominant imperial core.

No amount of writer/director/producer George Lucas saying that his creation was partly inspired by the Vietcong will convince Will that that is the case. Will is vibes based and his vibes cannot change.

It can contain multitudes. Was MASH about the Korean war or Vietnam?

It's nice to know that Will's confidently wrong schtick isn't reserved for just politics.

We don't have Trump 2 and the destruction of the administrative state or the Iraq war without the electoral college. That's one foreign and one domestic catastrophe in less than twenty years! It's a systemic problem not a one off! Seems like popular vote would be a prerry good safeguard!

The constitution abhors it so much that the presidential authority has expanded non-stop across every administration and party.

He won with a minority of the popular vote because the constitution has stupid rules about electing the executive. Did we forget about GWB who also didn't win the popular vote and did historically evil shit? That's twice in less than 20 years!

Those freaks already won and are mostly doing what they want.

Is the success of Second Wind after the collapse of Escapist a fluke or a model?

"the founders" were lots of different people who disagreed about a lot of shit. Some of them thought slavery was great and some of them didn't. But enough of them did that the 3/5 compromise made it to the constitution. We had to have a civil war to figure it out. Seems pretty foundational!

It's actually one of the vanishingly few things he's been consistently correct on.

Will has the same conception of working class as republicans. He views it as an aesthetic distinction.

Did you endorse him because he killed a bunch of old people during the pandemic?

Will definitely wrote papers that started with "webster's defines..."

It's not even "tenure." That's an academic freedom concept whereas the other is a labor protection concept.

The direct election of senators didn't happen until 1913 and the 17th amendment precisely because the writers of the Constitution thought the populace were a bunch of knuckle dragging idiots.

I thought Revolutions' Mike Duncan gently dunking on him would have been the end of it but Will is a true poster. I almost respect the dedication.

Well you see, he said it in his mind. It's definitely not a hedge after being politely dunked on by the closest thing to a French Revolution expert that this site has.

Let's just keep using the system that crashes every 10-15 years and grinds third world children through a thresher all while enriching the worst people on the planet.

Damn, I wonder which class of people created, monetized, and owns the popularity driven model of production and consumption.

What did I say that makes you think that I think what's happening in Syria is good?
comment in response to
post
My concern for human rights is focused on the crimes that the country I'm a citizen of does. Because my tax money pays for them and I have at least some theoretical influence upon the politicians that perpetrate them. I'm not Russian and I'm not Chinese. I'm American.
comment in response to
post
I'm agreeing with you. American intervention in Syria is bad. We still occupy vast swaths of their oil fields. I'm sorry my 300 character limit post didn't represent all of America's vast crimes. You're the only one implying all Jews are responsible for Israeli state actions.
comment in response to
post
I agree! In terms of post World War II governments that still exist the United States is culpable, either directly or indirectly through client states, for a scale of humanitarian tragedy that makes it amongst the worst in the world.

i’m sorry I didn’t list every single bad American foreign policy intervention. Rest assured that if you can think of an action that America took that caused a bunch of people not in America to die, I think that’s bad too.
comment in response to
post
In as much as any random citizen has influence or moral culpability as an American I care more about what my country does in my name. I'm not Chinese. I do appreciate a accusation of antisemitism though.
comment in response to
post
I agree! That's why the moral superiority claimed by the likes of Stancil and others is infuriating. Just because these evils aren't within the borders of the United States doesn't absolve guilt.
comment in response to
post
Probably not as bad as the daily life of a Palestinian, or a Libyan during the civil war, or a Korean during the war, or an Iraqi during the war, or a Vietnamese during the war. America externalizes a lot of it's atrocities. Doesn't absolve them of guilt.
comment in response to
post
Over a million died in Iraq, in Vietnam, in Korea. Those are directly from American intervention. If you start adding the dead from client states and CIA coups the number only goes up. The imperial core is usually shielded from the atrocities. Until the collapse when it starts coming home.

As far as I can tell it's woke deregulation.

All the myriad crimes of liberal capitalism are incidental to; all the myriad crimes of communism are because of.

Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, coups in Central and South America, Africa were all bipartisan liberal world order atrocities.
comment in response to
post
But all the people killed because a spreadsheet said it would be more profitable or the CIA said central America deserves death squads are not victims of an ideology. A million dead Iraqis or untold numbers of Vietnamese and Koreans aren't victims of liberalism?
