  • China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice

    Jump

  • No, see, what you’re doing is making a No True Scotsman argument. Nothing is communism to you unless it achieves the pristine results dictated by the ideal, so any actual attempt that fails, you dismiss as “not communism,” rather than admit that communism is a flawed system that has always produced bad results at scale.

  • Communism mandates a single-party government, which inevitably becomes a corrupt dictatorship that does not follow the idealized plan. But that’s the problem: the plan is too idealistic and doesn’t account for human psychology. So, you can’t just say, “oh, that society isn’t communist because the outcomes aren’t right. Name one example of a communist country that actually produces the results you expect to see.

  • If Marx was alive during the Cold War and beyond, how would he react to the communist states that rose to power? Would he approve or disapprove of them?

    Jump

  • Of course he would disapprove. And, hopefully, learn something about human psychology, its relationship with power, and why single-party governments are a super bad idea.

  • People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty

  • Woman found zip-tied in woods staged her own political attack, DOJ says

  • It has nothing to do with what he “would have” thought of Kirk. What’s established by his family’s testimony is that he broke from their conservative ideologies not long before his heinous act and expressed sympathy for Leftist views. Yes, he absolutely was Left-leaning, but came from a Right-wing family.

    Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. The statistics still show the Right-wing extremists are more violent on average, and by a long shot.

  • Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway

    Jump

  • Ah, I was thinking it might just be that, but didn’t want to assume. Yeah, I don’t think it’s that big a deal. If the commenter came in and said some misogynistic shit, definitely, but just for commenting? Eh. Yeah, he shouldn’t have, but how much harm was actually done?

  • DAE in their 30s/40s/50s not really feel like an adult?

    Jump

  • Adults are just large children. Accept this and move on. You will never understand anything, really. Those that seem to are just pretending.

  • I honestly don’t know what you’re offended by. Maybe I wasn’t reading closely enough, but could you spell it out for me?

  • I hope so :D

  • It should be!

  • I voted for Trump!

    Jump

  • Bah-hah-fucking-hah!

  • Obamacare tax credits look likely to expire as Trump rules out an extension

    Jump

  • No, they’re not. They’re getting something out of it. I don’t know why that is precisely, but they’re getting something. This was never about caring for their constituents.

  • “Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas.

    Jump

  • But let’s not forget the only important part: the child wasn’t murdered by a doctor. It died when its mother died of entirely preventable causes.

    That’s the only thing that matters, because my fucked up religion told me so.

    I’m an intelligent, rational human being who bases their entire life and modern choices on an ancient text, which I believe was written by a divine source I am incapable of proving exists.

    FUCK RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. YOU’RE TRASH HOLDING CIVILIZATION BACK.

  • What is the highest level of mathematics that should be expected to graduate high school?

    Jump

  • I think statistics is far more important for people to know than calculus.

  • Naturalized US citizens thought they were safe. Trump's immigration policies are shaking that belief

    Jump

  • That’s because this is and always was about racism, not immigration. The strongest supporters of this shit are all White people who believe in the White genocide conspiracy theory, and more supporters who don’t believe in the conspiracy are still scared of White people becoming a minority in America.

  • Salt Lake City declines to charge anti-child-trafficking activist with sexual assault

    Jump

  • The DA cited a lack of evidence as the reason for not charging him, but the article then goes on to detail that the allegations involve him making various female employees go on overseas trip with him and play the role of his wife (including sexual activity) in order to fool sex traffickers. Surely the DA could have interviewed all the women involved to verify the accusers’ testimonies, no? Makes the lack of evidence argument seem very flimsy.

    Well, the victims should sue the hell out of him at any rate. He lost his job over this and they should try to financially ruin him.

  • ICE looks to WA tribes to house detained immigrants

    Jump

  • Hey, you people whose land we stole! Can we use some your little remaining land we so generously let you keep to detain people we want to kick out of what is now rightfully our land, and definitely not yours or theirs?

  • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?

    Jump

  • No.

  • One wish

  • Isn’t it obvious? The goose wished for immortality.

  • Venezuelans who supported Trump now feel cheated: ‘They used us to win votes’

    Jump

  • Dumb fucks. If you vote for a man who tried to illegally win a prior election, you should expect to get betrayed. Elect a rapist and expect to get fucked. It’s really not that hard.
