After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.
Goddamn.

Similarly, a… Californian… who is living in Puerto Rico has no electoral votes. Because USA assigns votes by land.
Why do US citizens living abroad get to vote then?

Seems kind of fucked up that an American can move to Europe and still vote in the state they came from, but cannot do the same if they move to PR (a US territory)…
They will never even look at the source. It goes beyond simple lack of curiosity, their brain has created a sort of defense mechanism that will prevent them from ever actually comprehending that they could be wrong about something. So they will do everything to avoid being in a situation that could lead to them learning something new.
Because nothing is more important than never being wrong about anything, ever.
It’s not even bias… My hatred for fascists is well-founded, thank you very much
No, this is Christianity. You don’t get to just disown large swathes of your religion because they make your hateful ideology look as bad as it actually is.
If anyone is “not really Christian,” it’s the ones who claim to be LGBTQ+ friendly.
Just as cringe in a still photo.
The difference here is when you look at literally everything else each of these groups says outside of these individual snapshots, it becomes instantly clear what the difference is.
Looks like my user tag of “bad faith. don’t waste time” on this guy was accurate.
You’d have to actually read the book to know that.
And people who actually read the Bible (and comprehend it), typically end up atheist.
Because it’s fucking awful.
Jesus condoned slavery. And that was directly used by Southern slave owners to justify chattal slavery in the US.
He could have very easily said, “hey guys, you shouldn’t own other humans as property,” but no (assuming he even existed).
Instead, he instructed people on how to treat their slaves.
I’m starting to feel like fascism is almost just like the default end-state of humanity, and we are evolutionarily bound to end up there.
In this thread:
People tripping over themselves to ignore the content of this Palestinian-American’s statement, so they can instead criticize the DNC.
Anyone want to explain to me why she’s wrong for voting for Harris?
They also can’t really claim they weren’t the same, when they constantly used Confederate imagery to sell shit.
Maybe Lynyrd Skynyrd shouldn’t have constantly used the Confederate Battle Flag and other Confederate imagery if they didn’t want to be lumped in with the racists.
Just a thought.
No, they’re classist. Their abortions are different.
In his first term, Trump was surrounded—at least at the beginning—by strong, qualified leaders working to pull the country together and make us stronger, such as Gary Cohn, Rex Tillerson, Generals John Kelly, James Mattis, Mark Milley, and others who stood for service before self
Hahahahaha
Jesus Christ
So the GOP has successfully convinced them over the past 4 years that the government is incapable of helping them no matter who is in charge.
Therefore, in their minds, they’d rather that nobody gets anything if it means it prevents a brown person from getting something that they didn’t.
If you think that’s what the joke was about, then congrats, you’re probably a conservative, because clearly you have no understanding of comedy.
Luke 12:47-48.
Matthew 20:27.
And here I’ll just copy/paste this from the “the Bible and slavery” wiki:
Yes, most of the overtly pro-slavery stuff in the NT was Paul, but Jesus (I would say more than) tacitly condoned it.
Jesus was clearly immersed in a culture that included slavery. He could have very easily had, you know, done the right thing, and told his followers that owning other humans as property is bad. It seems like, if there was a loving god etc etc etc, that they wouldn’t want people to have slaves. And could have stopped it any time they liked. Fuck that…
