The thing about the Catholic Church is that it is very old and it is very large and it takes itself very seriously and so it is always going to defy our tidy human-lifespan bound judgements in good and bad ways.
the catholic church has been such a regressive force for most of my life that I'm having a hard time fitting 'we have an american pope and his people are important in fighting deportations' into my world view

That's the thing with Stancil. "Why don't you just block" is a valid question for people who can't stand him but for him blocking does very little against the tide. (Applies more generally to harassment as well)
Go look at his post history! It’s the sort of obsession that used to merit a restraining order. But since it gets rewarded and not punished, I have to spend large portions of my time dealing with obsessed psychos all the time. It doesn’t matter if I block them, they keep at it forever

I don't actually think this is true, I think people on social media talk a lot about average dipshit tankies because they're on here too, they often disproportionately shape the discourse, and they're usually in your mentions sending you death threats and calling you slurs.
big chunk of online left-of-center types took "intent doesn't matter" re: racism etc & allowed it to metastasize into "actual ability to wield power doesn't matter, ergo the average dipshit tankie and Guy Breaking The Leahy Law To Facilitate Genocide are not just morally but practically equivalent"

A very basic test of U.S. historical literacy is “which side of the slave/free divide in America’s founding wanted slaves to count as a whole person and why” and yet I see it being failed so consistently

Probably the most endearing thing about FDR is that he fucking hated Nazis from the get go. If he had had his way Americans would have been disembarking to help win the war over Czechoslovakia.

Genuinely gives me a lot of hope that the NFL is a cynical, cash-motivated organization and they're betting on this being the future

The U.S. Navy's top uniformed officer wants to convince commanders to use smaller, newer assets for missions instead of consistently turning to massive aircraft carriers, arguing more tailored groups of ships and equipment would offer more flexibility to respond to crises as they develop.

The health of the Democratic Party would be indisputably better today if organizations like Americans for Democratic Action weren't a shell of their former self and had vibrant membership. But they are shells and don't have that kind of membership.
US politics would pretty much uniformly be better if there was a center left equivalent to DSA, because on the whole US politics would be better if there were more political organizations with meaningful membership standards and participation models.

I hate how meely mouthed "I think that location x's sovereignty should be decided by the people" sounds because it's the correct response to many many things.
I have serious doubts that his position is the majority one in PR, but it's certainly a sizeable minority one, and the issue should be left to the people of PR and their will respected by Congress-
Stop laughing I genuinely believe that.

They’re rushing to rehabilitate themselves because they’re afraid the thousand year Trumpreich won’t happen after all and they need people to take them seriously when they complain President Inoffensive Normielib is Stalin after he says they have to pay taxes to fund the Mild Healthcare Reform Act.
When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.
