I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy
Quite aside from the morals and political focus of this, whose votes do you think this won?

The DNC bet everything on bipartisan centrism, amnesty for state terrorists, photos and quasi endorsements by Kissinger and Cheney. If he'd been alive they'd have courted Rumsfeld!
I know libs love to talk about horseshoe theory on the left but their entire campaign was *establishment horseshoe*

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

None of the people responsible for the Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, etc. saw any real justice. Cheney got rehabbed because he disagreed with Trump's manners and not his policies.

I don't want to glorify what Mehmet did; he was by any modern standard a butcher. That said, this is one of my favorite depictions of masculinity.
People are and should be complex and multifaceted. Modern misogynists (and nationalists too!) are hacking off the parts of humanity they don't like.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

The only antidote - and I do mean the ONLY one - to Trump and Miller's xenophobia is a full-throated defense of immigration and a full-throated attack on the racism and xenophobia currently guiding immigration policy. You can't half-ass this one, you can't Very Reasonable Limits this one.

This has nothing to do with his racist militarism but making Brett Gelman a lead character was disastrous for Stranger Things. Only Brett Gelman himself could watch his scenes and say they are exciting or funny. They're terrible and they were terrible at release.

This has something to do with Afghanistan and Americans' horror and shock when, as our leader says, things happen
I hate war but conquest is not as bad as some things
I generally think empires acting like opportunistic raiders, vikings basically, and then withdrawing to count the loot is the most obviously morally offensive system. Martian invasion could do little worse than Anglo-US style intervention

The most ethical world system is one where all states and peoples respect each other and navigate problems openly by vote and negotiation
The second is a system where empires grant rights to those they rule and everyone is a citizen somewhere
Ours is another system, a hybrid of empire and anarchy

I mean the Romans did some horrid shit and humans are naturally devious but the UK invented the "Oh no, I'm not going to take over directly and deal with the consequences, but I am going to fuck with your shit, jolly pip" which is exactly what America has done for a century to great misfortune

Americans please stop sounding like you don't know Afghans who received US visas after 2003 were CIA trained. You sound ignorant. We didn't give them visas because we bombed their homes.
