Perhaps not “yearn”, but they’re far more open to it. “Among Americans under 30, 62 percent feel favorable toward socialism” (Cato institute poll). The number is around 40% for all Americans. So given that I can see why people wouldn’t necessarily think it was tongue-in-cheek.

I just looked at the poll. It’s 9% now, it was 9% in May, and it was 5% in January. So is this real??? Anyone in Alberta hearing stuff about ALP?

It’s a fairly large percentage for it to be that, but I agree it makes no sense.

If you eliminate the state won’t another state just pop up to fill the void? I mean yeah, both of those things are possible. Any society needs to be vigilant about such things.

Also any non-white person since facial rec sucks at anything but white male faces.

The kulaks also weren’t capitalists, which I believe is what was being discussed. I was just showing you that your reductionist argument has direct analogies with which I would hope you agree. And I don’t defend Stalin’s idea of how to eliminate class.

Im not sure he has said he’s anti-Zionist. But that’s not the same as anti-Jewish and as mayor of New York he would not be setting any policy related to Zionism or the existence of Israel. “If you agree on 9/12 issues, vote for me. If you agree with 12/12 see a psychiatrist”(Ed Koch)

You still haven’t answered what you think his stance on Jews is. Has he said something that concerns you? Do you have a reference for it?

Try applying the logic to slave owners and you’ll see that it’s not such a weird take after all. If you suppress slavery then slavery will no longer be a vehicle for suppression. That’s correct, and a good thing.

Especially with that 9% ALP number.

I suspect it’s mostly support-parking. They don’t like the NDP I guess and hope ALP will take off. When it comes to an election they’ll likely mostly vote NDP.

The other options are no brainers as well, just in a different way.

So many lies. London is NOT, in fact “largely Muslim” (it’s 15%) and seeing the Niqab happens, but is rare. And why do you care what other women wear?

Not alone for sure. That wasn’t really targeted at you specifically.

Ok that’s good to hear. Thought you’d gone woo-hoo. Because that position is quite common among the woo-hoo set.

This seems to me a bad take. COVID isn’t mutating because of scientific studies. It’s mutating in the population because there are precious few strategies to slow infection. There is a valid question here about why these animals were being transported though.

I think Stephen Miller is a better example since he’s actually a part of the administration.

Their oath is to the constitution. Trump will try to change that soon enough.

Yes, that’s why it makes sense coning from him where it doesn’t really from Bernie, or even Gavin Newsom.

Sure, but evolution and psychology study also shows that’s true on a population level, not an individual level.
