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.

Trump vs Musk damages is a distinction without a difference. It’s like asking if either Hitler vs Himmler were more responsible for the Holocaust. At the end of the day they were the ones in power, they made the decisions, either had the power to stop, and they didn’t.

It can be all 3 simultaneously. It virtue signals to the phobes, it hurts foreigners and keeps Americans from being exposed to other cultures.

Sure, let’s say they are controlled opposition. What do we do after we burn down the democratic party? What then? Because I do not like the prospect of what comes after a single party takes complete control.

There is a lot of talk about burning and destroying but nothing about what comes after and it’s the “What comes after” that has me most worried.

My point is that we need to have an organized political structure to get progressive people elected who will actually promote progressive policies. Saying “Burn Down the Dems” with literally no plan to put up opposition to Republicans is beyond short sighted strategically.

I appreciate the fervor, democratic leadership is a bunch of spinless cowards, but trying to tear down democrats without a competent actually progressive replacement political organization is handing power directly to Republicans to rule completely unopposed.

Given the reality of political parties in the US, I’d rather spinless corpses filling up space to slow Republicans down rather than letting Republicans take total control in the absence of any marginal opposition.

Unless you’re planning on running for office as a competently progressive candidate.
