China winning global capitalism isn’t a good thing, op is simply pointing that the nation accels at it on the global stage. Any nation winning capitalism on the global stage isn’t a good thing.

That’s pretty much exactly what it is. They’re still buying whatever that Qanon “trump is working with secret agents embedded in the Deep state to dismantle the Clinton pedo ring” nonsense.

But… like… literally everyone can agree that pedoshit should always break the camel’s back. Like it’s literally universal across pretty much every demographic that nobody should protect a pedo and even the worst serial killing criminals in prison are still viewed more favorablly than pedos.

I think cancer rates going up are a lot of things. I think medicine overall has gotten significantly better that because people aren’t dying nearly as young as they used to are then able to go on to develop cancer they otherwise wouldn’t have, I think that our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are certainly not helpful, I think the constant stresses of daily existence under late stage capitalism is extremely unhealthy, I think the amount of high calorie low nutrition highly processed foods we consume have a huge affect. Also cancer is an extremely large umbrella term for an affliction that comes about in more ways than there are cancers, melanoma comes from prolonged UV exposure, lung and mouth cancer come from a wide array of carcinogens operating on numerous mechanism, like Radon works completely differently from tobacco smoke and diferently from asbestos.

I think there is much stronger evidence for a multitude of other things causing cancer than solely glyphosate.

PFSA… kinda?, glyphosate…maybe…? honestly we’ve done a ton of studies since glyphosate was first created in the 70s there really aren’t any known significant health risks. Personally I’d be more concerned about the environmental problems of herbicides running off and affecting the wider environment.

And yet here we are mincing words about what primate vs monkey vs whatever other taxonomy humans are biological cousins with instead of dealing with the literal racism on display.

We should be more outraged at racism than we are about which words a news outlet used to describe the racism.

All of them when you “umm… ackshually we’re all primates” and ignored the context of literal centuries of white people depicting black people as monkeys to denigrate and dehumanize them.

I stand corrected, thanks for the context!

Probably autocorrect going from Melania to Melanie.

Sometimes the theatrics of shutting down a nazi site is just as important as the actual shutting down of a nazi site.

I’ll always side against the oppressor, the one with the power. Personally I don’t hate religion because it’s religion, I hate religion because it’s used by the powerful to lie to the masses and manipulate them into behaving how the powerful want you to behave, monarchy was the ruler ordained by God because God is a king and rules over all creation and the monarch is God’s tool of power over the world, just like how in the west capitalism is ordained by God because God loves freedom and the free market and that is the best way to care for his people.

As far as I can tell, these pastors weren’t particularly harming anyone this is just ideological crackdown.

Friendly reminder that PebbleYeetx the originator of this comicx is a nazi.

Did not know that, appreciate the info! One thought I had though is that the Crown Vic may have had more deaths than the Pinto, was that because they were actually more prone to explode than the Pinto or does the fact that it was so widely used by cops, taxis and groups using a fleet of cars account for the elevated numbers?

Was the crown vic explody? I know the Pinto was because of how the gas tank was built, and the Crown Vic had a bunch of recalls because it was just stress tested that much by nature of being commonly used by cops and taxi companies but I don’t recall the crown vic having major flaws like that.

While interesting bit of political theory, do these distinctions really make that much of a difference? Like pretending to be a fascist, and being a fascist both seem like they’re heading toward the basically the same end result, a singular authoritarian dictator who uses the power of the state to their functionally exclusive advantage.

Blender has an add on project called cad sketches in development. It’s free to use and is donation supported just like Blender is. I haven’t used it myself but it wouldn’t hurt looking into it.

This is literally Palazzo Braschi in 1930s Italy.

Until Republicans see blatant gerrymandering as a moral problem too we need to play the game like they do.

Authoritarians gonna authoritarian regardless of economic model.

So the earliest we have of this kind of saying is from Don Quixote where it is about deflecting hypocritical criticism from the 1600s. The shiny kettle/black pot version is more recent one gaining prominence in the late 1800s.
