Also ehat conservatism always is. Conservatism is universal, because its the fear of change and the desperate want to maintain control, which is always a losing enterprise. So they need to escalate violence and power grabs as it starts falling through their fingers faster and faster, and always ends in authoritarianism and eventually fascism once violent citizen militias are given state say and funding.
I get the joke, but Israliel has only been around for about a hundred years, after using ethnic cleansing to steal land from the local populations of Palestineians. Having been around for thousands of years would imply they had consistent ancesteral claim to the land, and if people just take that number at face value they could come out believing that, which is directly something Israeli uses for propaganda to claim they have “a right to exist”
Lessor evilsim is pusdeo-intellecual slop. It’s literally how they’ve consolidated power and pushed the overton window off the right-ward cliff entirley. Especially when that “lessor evil” is only pressing the gas halfway instead of to the floor, but no one is offerring to brake despite the brick wall we’re hurlding towards.
Politicians earning your vote is literally the cornerstone of democracy. Not you fallung into line with your vote. But this lessor evilism cancer has taught them they don’t actually have to fight for people or do anything with their power to stay in office, they just need to be a bit better than the other guy. So all they give us is lip-service, while people die in the street, ICE detentions accelerated under Biden, Roe v. Wade was never codified despite being a running promise of multiple presidents, hell they couldn’t even legalize weed which would have been an easy win. Just give them money cause the other guy is so bad and “democracy is under attack”, never mind their own complaiency to get to this point in the first place with this literal strategy.
People lile to talk about the frog in the boiling water. The GOP definitely represents cranking the heat up to 11, but the dems don’t represent turning the heat down, or better yet off. No they represent keeping the temp where it currently is, or maybe even “compromising” and turning it up just a little. And when shit keeps flip-flopping betqeen the two, you’re still just turning the temp to boiling. We need to knock the damn pot off the stove.
Well the trolley problem is a reflection on action vs inaction (which is still dumb imo), but in this senario, if you don’t have time to brake that’s your fault as the driver for going atound the curve too fast.
Hit the tree then
Nah don’t do Walugi like that. He’s more of a rival than nemesis. More like Lugi turned up to 11 with a plan
Just brake
In more ways than one bum-dum tis
I try and avoid painkillers whenever possible for two reasons:
And make no mistake, they’re trying to make people more used to the idea of war, before they start another one.
Not to mention there was often no method or recorded data, so even calling them “science” of any kind is doubious.
Or when you try and select a letter and it auto selects the whole fucking work or sentence, jumping all over the place?
Unironically, thats how I feel explaining things when I get excited, and I kinda like being a kid excited about sharing something. Because either I get to share something I find really cool and you hopefully do too, or you already knew about it and maybe know more than me and I can learn something more about the thing I’m excited about. But mansplaining does imply a level of condescension that I really fucking hope I don’t come across as.
