Because they are stupid for voting for a right wing candidate. He's going to turn on them immediately and destroy their livelihoods because that's what they do. That's all the right wing ever does and has ever done. They're not here to help you. They're here to help themselves, usually to the fruits of your labour. And then they call us thieves for demanding our cut of the wealth back. The right wing is just organized crime with better PR, that's all they've ever been and that's all they'll ever be. Oh they'll dress it up in a song and dance about some nostalgic nonsense or another, it's all a spectacle to keep you distracted while they pick your pocket. "Oh we're the party of law and order" bullshit. They'll complain about crime, loudly and for hours to anyone who will listen, but their "solutions" are usually just more ways to profiteer off of it while pretending their useless gestures are "Doing something."

At least they're more honest about it than the damned centrists, but given the choice of being stabbed in the back or in the face, I'd say I'd rather not be stabbed at all.

It would be really nice if the system produced more than 2 options, you know? Sometimes the leftist party has very poor leadership or their ideas are just played out and it needs to lose power, but when the only alternative is the equivalent of throwing yourself in a fire because they're openly criminal and corrupt, you're damned if you and damned if you don't, si?

It's not the length of the sentence that matters, it's what a Terrorism charge does to you upon release. They may only get 5 years in a cell, but this is effectively a life sentence.

If you think the gas prices will start a riot, wait until you see the food prices in a few months. An army marches on its stomach. When you can't feed the soldiers, you're going to have a hard time quelling anything.

It's the logographic nature of the text that makes it more common in eastern languages. Modern Western written languages, for the most part, are strictly alphabetic so since the symbol doesn't represent concepts, only vocal Phonemes which when strung together represent a concept, it's really hard to misinterpret the symbols, and it really doesn't matter which language you're representing with them. This gets a little fuzzy in Celtic languages because they have a lot of sound combinations that don't exist in other languages, and there's some confusion at times when looking at Western script and Cyrillic because while they're both rooted in the Latin Alphabet, they both evolved separate ways of handling various sounds, but since similar words that share a common meaning (and often a common root word) in a lot of languages do in fact sound different, they also are often spelled differently enough that it becomes obvious quickly which language you're using. There are of course some words and short phrases that do in fact get written identically in multiple, closely related languages, and that can confuse machines and people, but it's far less common than with eastern languages.

As an IT guy, I can confirm, it's a trap.

Technically the core of the story is real, but the OP is basically just a tabloid blog, not a real news source. My guess is it's an AI generated article capitalizing on real stories and editorializing to make click bait.

I mean, going from "Joke" to "Mostly terrible" is still moving in a positive direction. Not very far, but marginal progress is still progress?

It's 110% about his position on Israel. AIPAC knows it's losing the left and it's trying every trick in the book to discredit anti-zionist voices.

No, it has nothing to do with what they are, it's about who they choose to be. It's not Eugenics, it's Eupraxis.

To the rest of the world, it is looked at that way. The only reason the US doesn't consider their crimes "Their Fault" is the general sense of "American Exceptionalism" that saturates their cultural perception. You think the rest of the world doesn't remember Haiti? Or Guatemala? Or the Philippines? Or the Alaskan Panhandle Incident? Do you think we've forgiven China for Tibet or the Uyghur genocide in Turkmenistan? Or Canada and Australia for their Genocides? The Germans still walk around starting every conversation with outsiders saying "Hi, yes I'm German, and we're very sorry." or something equivalent.

That was more about Mohammad "Bone Saw" Bin Salman's attacks on the free press, although given the fact that Saudi terrorists, commissioned by a Saudi leader (Bin Laden) trained in Saudi Arabia were the actual culprits of 9/11, it's really hard to not consider the Saudi people at least somewhat culpable for fomenting extremism.

Would it not be the equivalent of a what supremacist gang get into the army and get trained and do a couple tours here and there. Comeback home and all go to Canada and pull off a deadly attack? Should the US be blamed for training the group that messed up Canada? Or does the US get a pass because we are a hegemony?

Oh, and this? This would absolutely an American attack on an ally. The fact it's not officially commissioned by the DoD does not in any way absolve America more broadly of the crimes of the terrorists they produce.

As an elder millenial I might have some insight. You know how when we were kids people used to get all up in their feelings when you weren't smiling. That's this. "Gen Z stare", is just "Resting Bitch Face" or "You look prettier when you smile darlin'" repackaged and rebranded. They're mad that the young people in general and women in particular aren't running around with goofy forced smiles on their faces to make them feel special.

I want to remind you, several Fox News hosts, as well as numerous Republican congress critters are Harvard Alumni. "Elite intuition" is by definition an institution for economic elites, who predominantly are Republicans, most of whom support everything Trump is doing. I don't approve of any attack on education, but Ivy League schools have always been more about forming insider networks of nepotism and cronyism than education so I will have to say this meme doesn't land very hard.

This right here ā˜ļø. The grassroots democrats I could support. It's the Chuck Schumers and John Fettermans that will undermine the party from within that make supporting democrats difficult.
