  • I once picked up some hitchhikers near Saint Louis. They needed help getting to Colorado where apparently their brother had started having some success panning for gold.

  • Olive oil is one I have yet to delve into.... Now that I think about, I think I have some Singles™....

    Thanks for the dinner idea.

  • As someone with the palate of a five-year-old, this is mint.

    Perfect browning on that sandwich, I might add. You do butter or mayo on the outside of your grilled cheeses?

  • Why?

    I dont know how you could think that given the absolute lack of anything similar from any of the other branches.

    People were starting to cling on to the "the military is going to stop the Trump coup" copium all the way back at the beginning of his first term. It has yet to happen, and both he and his cronies are all the more entrenched.

  • Do you at least harbor some amount of disappointment for how little China has distanced themselves from "Israel"?

    I'm not going to sit here and say China should start deploying troops to Tel Aviv, but isn't it fair to be a little disappointed with how little they've browbeaten "Israel"?

    On the other hand, I would have absolutely no rebuttal if you say something like "its not our place (as members of the Imperial core), to be disappointed in a nation that doesn't want to clean up a mess that we created". I could potentially see the orientalism in this perspective.

    Or, maybe you reject the entire premise and DO think that China has been effectively browbeating "Israel"?

    Honest questions.

  • Perhaps they did, and the extra 2 minutes it cost them was enough to doom the tenant.

  • So, you agree then that Trump is a result of Trump voters?

    And you agree that nonvoters did nothing to secure the Trump presidency?

  • Trump won because Americans are that dumb

    I’m just stating the current status.

    That is definitively not what you're doing. You're providing a (bad) explanation.

  • Trump won because Americans are that dumb

    This is poor analysis. This doesn't explain why people become "dumb" or receptive to fascism. It has no notion of the material causes of fascism - lack of education, crumbling infrastructure, economic austerity, withheld wages, unaffordable healthcare, etc... Its a tautology that says things are bad because people are dumb and people are dumb becsuse things are bad.

    If you truly latch on to this analysis, your only recourse is fact checking, appeals to reasons, and appeals to media literacy. How have those pushes been over thr last 10 years?

    Fascism is capitalist crisis; it is not some nebulous "dumbing down" of an entire population through clandestine or otherwise paranormal means. Marxism teaches us to understand these issues from a "class" perspective as opposed to a "population" perspective.

  • By this logic, 1920s German Jews were responsible for Hitler.

  • Liberals already sent Palestinians down the river. History shows they're not going to unite with shit.

  • "Doesn't look like anything to me. "

  • If only they would've done literally anything when they were in power.

  • The entirety of midwest real estate is critically undervalued for this exact reason.

  • When Biden was president he tried to broker a peace deal. He stated on live TV that he didn't condone Israel's methods. And he floated arms shipment cancellations to try to bring Netanyahu to the table.

    Now, do I need to explain to you how those things are not the same?

    "Although the end result was the exact same, one side feigned civility and decorum! How can you not see the difference?"

    Yall need to drop this obsession with vibes, messaging, and optics.

  • So who would you vote for in my scenario?

  • Then I dont think we have much more to discuss. You would vote for a literal Holocaust.

  • So you dont have alarm bells going off in your head that you would willingly vote for a literal Holocaust?

  • so when you only have 2 choices to compare [...], you probably, maybe, want to go with the lesser evil

    Suppose, in 10 years, your choice for president is between a democrat who openly expresses interest in murdering six million Jewish people, and a Republican who openly expresses interest in murdering seven million Jewish people.

    Will you still be an unwavering Democrat?

    get liberals to admit they would vote for a literal holocaust so long as the color is blue - with this one simple trick!
