  • MFs heard "Trump's Iraq Moment" and thought, "fuck yea, let's 'find' some WMDs"

  • if you compare the Democrat and the Republican running in that race you'll find

    This is the fucking problem, right here.

    People dont make """"rational"""" choices when they're driven toward frustration and desparation, and democrats marketing themselves as 'not republicans' in lieu of offering any significant change is a massive source of that desparation.

  • Birthright isnt a loophole.

    If you want to abolish billionaires, you dont need to deal in xenophobic scaremongering to do it; but if you want to abolish birthright, you gotta play all the notes of xenophobia. The billionaire flair is just the lib-spin.

    The WSJ publishing this story should tell you everything you need to know about its intent

    Edit: otherwise they would be writing about how billionaires are exploiting inheritance

  • It's already a bi-partisan consensus that China shouldn't have billionaires

    Fortunately for them, they can't do anything about the billionaire problem - so instead they'll focus on the xenophobia

  • If anything could convince libs of supporting the end of birthright, it's the threat of hundreds of chinese babies being born to US citizenship.

  • Does anyone know what the ethical objections acrually were here?

    I would have thought they would have specifically called out data falsification if that were the problem that resulted in the paper being pulled - otherwise it leaves the door open to misinterpretation

  • I simply dont believe the people you're describing exist - at least, not as you've chosen to describe them

    If you were describing a werewolf, it wouldnt be a defense of their cannibalism to say they aren't real.

  • Read the room, kid. I'm an anarchist, but I dont run around pretending not to understand the ML perspective just because it's easier than treating it as coherent.

  • There isn't anything there to be offended by, it's just a lazy and ill-considered application of a political label

    It honestly just seems like you dont really know what the politics are, you just know 'tankie' as a loosely pejorative term for someone you have strong disagreements with.

  • Idk what to tell you bud, boldly declaring that a political label specific to socialist infighting has nothing to do with socialism doesnt somehow make it true.

  • "Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is"

    points to the main thing capitalism does *

  • I don't see modern tankies caring about socialism

    You're not talking about tankies then.

  • What version of 'tankie' is the one that would praise the US for literally anything trump does?

    Like if there's one thing I thought I knew about tankies, it was that they fucking loathe the US and Trump

  • What.

  • If you're unfamiliar with him or his quote, I really reccomend reading about Michael Brooks

  • Ngl your wording choice here sounds like satire

  • Sure, but the point of that idea is that capitalist exploitation can't be addressed through personal consumption choices to begin with.

    I guess fine, that person is making a shitty choice. But moralizing over consumption habits is pretty counterproductive IMO.
