It doesn’t matter if half the country wants something if it is unconstitutional.

I feel like this concept should be named after Peter Thiel.

Isn’t that kinda super illegal without ATF registration?

All I can say is that the host of behind the bastards is an excellent journalist who does thorough research before each episode. I don’t have any expertise in this topic, but in other episodes where I am knowledgeable his research has been accurate.

The “rights” they are losing is the ability to treat people differently than them as interior.

I remember hearing an interview with a guy who studied the Jan 6 insurrection. He found that the most common demographic other than white, male, and Christian was that they were a small business owner.

That death toll also includes China who also used Lysenko’s fake farming techniques. Russia didn’t want to admit their plan wasn’t working and China didn’t want to admit they were failing using the method that supposedly worked so well in Russia. Farmers reporting low crop yields in both countries were blamed and accused of hiding food for themselves. The deaths definitely fall on a lot of shoulders, but at its heart was Lyselko convincing the government to use his plan with false data and continuing that lie even after he knew it wasn’t working.

Communism didn’t kill the people so much as Stalin’s habit of killing people who disappointed or disagreed with him led to massive falsification of scientific data and crop yields.

I just got done listening to an old Behind the Bastards about Trofim Lysenko who was a Soviet scientist whose job it was to increase crop yield. He ignored Darwinian evolution in favor of a type of Lamarckian evolution that fit better with Stalin’s politics. This involved planting massive amounts of seeds per acre with the idea that the seeds would help each other grow better. He falsified his data to show that this worked and in the long run led to the starvation of 30 million people.

I don’t mean to criticize communism by mentioning this. Certainly capitalism has shown the same adherence to ideology in spite of evidence with climate change. I just think it was an interesting bit of history in light of the post which is actually good agricultural science they also fits with collectivist thought.

And why don’t we stick the whole thing underground to further minimize damage to the landscape. Besides it’s way cooler to be called a vault dweller than a condo resident.

The picture on the left is just an argument against lawns.

Absolutely agree, but at some point there will still be someone reporting expenses to the government and that needs to be trustworthy info.

This guy had convictions for possession of a machine gun in 2002 and 2022! How the fuck did he get a third one!!!

Sounds like the company needs to be forced to pay for full time government employees who supervise the company to insure compliance.

In other words, he not only failed to challenge the core of Covid ideology—that other human beings are pathogenic so we need to restrict our freedoms and isolate—but used his social media presence, such as it was, to urge others to accept all the dominant lies by the government. He bought the Covid and lockdown ideology and broadcasted it. He seems to have no regrets.

The author is a plague rat who thinks libertarianism means being able to harm others with impunity. Don’t waste time on this trash.

All of that is irrelevant to my point that your right wing government has policies that would be far left in the US

The rubric is literally right below what you quoted

The categories are as follows:

1. Biased Wording/Headlines- Does the source use loaded words to convey emotion to sway the reader. Do headlines match the story?

2. Factual/Sourcing- Does the source report factually and back up claims with well-sourced evidence.

3. Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.

4. Political Affiliation: How strongly does the source endorse a particular political ideology? Who do the owners support or donate to?

Just because it is a qualitative and not a quantitative assessment doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary.

Speeding isn’t a crime, it’s an infraction. If speeding is a crime then everyone is a criminal. It’s not like he held up a gas station.

There is a whole lot more to it than that. You can read it here.

In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.
