I’m aware, that’s why it was a question.

They do it because they normally get away with it. And countless people have had their lives ruined by this behavior.


I assume you mean JFK, was he talking about this?
But I mean we as in the people of the US. Our leaders have very different incentives than we do.


When are we going to start talking about abolishing the FBI?
I believe you can be both a demsoc and a Marxist, no?


I feel like people need to think more deeply about cancellation and when it is and is not appropriate. Personally, I think it’s basically never appropriate for random powerless individuals to be canceled, no matter what they did. There’s just other, better ways to handle harmful behavior.
Where cancellation is useful is for powerful, influential people who are actively and unapologetically harming people on an ongoing basis and can’t be stopped through other means. I’m not super familiar with Fuentes but it seems like he fits more in this latter category.

Was Gate’s philanthropy always just to make other rich people think he was cool? And now that right wing politics are in, he’s shifted over? I don’t see another explanation.


I am actually curious if he considers himself a Marxist. Any information on this?

Is this new? I feel like this idea’s been discussed for decades but no one wants to pay for it. Also, the enforcement is very difficult.


Can’t be passed over for the Nobel peace prize if the prize committee is reduced to radioactive slag.
Activism and community organizing is a great affordable hobby. Can’t say it’s easy on the calendar though.


For me it’s 32.33% to death. Repeating, of course.


Wasn’t it just the other day that the China apologists were trying to convince us they’re abolishing the death penalty imminently?


It has some advantages but I think it will make public services even more subordinated to the interests of the wealthy. Since they would have almost sole discretion on where that money goes.


It matters but Trump’s polling is remarkably stable. Headlines are overstating the changes which are barely measurable.
I’m sorry, small government? Where is that happening?


It really isn’t. You don’t think our near total control of the ability of children to make decisions about their lives has any effect on how they behave when they get older? Nor that this enforced system of obedience has intended consequences on those children when they become adults?


I think doing this outside of any pretext of a military conflict is certainly a big escalation but I do agree that our failure to push back adequately against these past crimes led us here.
There aren’t any.
