Utterly insane take from him. Based on the strength of a single referendum that was likely influenced by a foreign power and carried out by some of the most determinedly incompetent leaders we’ve seen in a generation, we are to lose free trade, influence abroad, freedom to roam, consumer protections, and countless other benefits, to continue for the lifetime of an as yet unelected PM who has purged his party of anyone to the left of Barack Obama.
That’s a finer choice perhaps, but abatement isn’t incorrect here
The civil war was in abatement, but it never did end.
We’ve found whole buildings full of paid online trolls in Russia poisoning the dialogue and it’s like the whole media industry agreed to stop talking about it. Now they don’t even need humans to do that.
I only wish it were not so.
We deserve a fresh, genuinely impartial court with term limits - three decades ago.
I don’t know why people got on your case about it, it wasn’t a bad question. I only felt that a rhetorical point had to be made
SCOTUS has been trying to hump democracy to death since 2001. The fuckers have just about finally managed it, and we’re all screwed.
If you were trying to actually build a green party from the ground up in American politics, would you platform local candidates, build your bench, develop campaign offices nationwide, and actually try guiding policy - or would you drop your hat every four years so that disillusioned voters can protest vote for you?
What does Stein do?
There’s no way to replace Joe without his consent. Do you have any real ideas how that can be accomplished?
We’re basically hooped unless Joe decides to throw in the towel. Just about anyone not psychotic half his age could very easily beat trump. How do we get there?
They definitely don’t understand, but more importantly it doesn’t matter either way - having a group they can persecute is just how they reinforce in-group ties. They lack a coherent ideology, and simply bond over cruelty. Any hatred that can safely be stoked will suffice for such people. Every time we accept an out-group into normal society, platform and protect them, they find new prey. Whenever we give up ground and let peoples rights get taken away, the ‘far right’ go back to hating them too. Cruelty is the point, and it’s what turns them on. That’s what makes them ‘far right’, is that it’s obvious compared to normal conservatives.
Intention was to encapsulate the psychological aspect within the phrase “how you see yourself”. It’s hard to get every detail into a simple explanation.
It’s pretty simple - sex is basically your reproduction capabilities (in biology even this is far from trivial “A or B”) while gender is more like how you see yourself, how you present to the world, and usually comes with certain assumptions and roles from the society you’re in. That’s why people say it’s a social construct; it’s literally constructed, socially. Being cis or trans just means whether your reproductive traits match your socially constructed traits.
It feels awful to know this might actually happen again. I can only hope that America actually puts down the rebellion for good this time. We left the schism intact with a failed reconstruction, and look where that got us.
Probably just a kinky green grocer. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
Isn’t it weird how all these stridently isolationist voices are taking Russian money? I just can’t seem to connect this dot. Putin must really hate woke 🙃
I write again having done my own research. It turns out he’s had a wifesaving neck surgery known as a twateotomy
Do you think I would sit here and try to make fetch happen if there was any chance you could stop me? Fetch happened 25 minutes ago.
It should be enough to know that Russia prefers the current situation. I’d happily ditch the pound on that basis - it’s not exactly as if sir Isaac has been running the mint lately.
