Well they do claim to be a free, democratic nation. “Claim” is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence, but it is accurate.

You don’t say. Who could have possibly seen this coming. 😐

On the one hand, if you’re walking into a totalitarian state and criticizing the ruling autocrat, then sure, that’s a skill issue. That’s not supposed to be how it works in countries that at least purport to be free. At the very least, we can at least be frustrated at the false advertising.

Abandoning the remaining low-income and disabled Dems that are less likely to have documentation like that would be a strategically bad move. Not to mention, you currently have Fed that will happily to “Lose” your paperwork when you renew if they can correlate your face with their “Age Verification” data that identifies you as a Democrat.

Give them an inch and they’ll take all of it.

I think we’re all clear on the assignment. We’ve all taken a hit for the sake of “Buy Canadian” and other movements, to help with re-alignment, and we all know we’re going to have to support each other as shocks continue to hit. An important factor, however, is the pain needs to be distributed in a reasonable way. The TSE index funds are seeing solid and gaining dividends. We need to see some more movement from the top income brackets in putting those dividends back in to domestic industry to help compensate for inevitable job losses.

Unfortunately, we’re not all the ones that decide if we’re on board or not. Our employers are. We live in a world where profits are privatized and losses are socialized, so when this goes, it’s going to hurt the general public a lot more than it will every hurt the Epstein Class.

The problem is the cost of that correction is going to fall on us. Or did we forget that the flavor of capitalism we live under is the “Privatize the profits, socialize the losses” kind. We’re not the ones in the casino, but we’re the ones who will lose our shirts when they lose.

“You know who doesn’t buy my drugs? Maidenless losers.” Said every drug dealer in history. It’s not even good marketing hype, it’s just sad at this point.

They may not care about Gaza, but there’s a lot of Latino Citizens in Texas that aren’t too happy about getting assaulted in the streets.

Their capture by US feds and banning people who speak out against US foreign influence operations would lead me to believe otherwise.

Men not being raised to aspire to be good fathers is 95% of why the far right exists in the first place.

Why would Americans care? This happens every other week down there. Here, one is a national tragedy, there it’s just a Wednesday. This is the what happens when people soak their brains in the American social media BS too much.

More of us elders need to step up and set the example. It’s easy for the young folk to get disillusioned with the painfully slow process of building a movement, but the only way to force change is logistics, organization, and tenacity.

He’s trying to encourage disbelief in germ theory. He’d like to encourage a return to cornflakes and Graham crackers to rebalance the humors.

It’s the whole “surviving long enough to look back” part that people worry about.

Oh, they do. Depending on the context, there’s a whole host of ways to imply sarcasm without depending on intonation. Body language, context, double entendre, formality shifts, etc.

The question may not be inherently stupid, although it does contain a false premise. You really should follow the news before you start claiming the news channels aren’t reporting a story. It’s been front page news on literally every publication for 3 days now. I have to assume then that this question is actually rhetorical. If there’s a statement you’re looking to make you should probably just make it.

Indian caste system backs slowly into the bushes

Ah, trying to build a legal precedent for thought crimes now. That’s not at all concerning.

As far as I’m aware, no on officially still worships Baal, although there might be some surviving fragments of that tradition in Tunisa oddly enough. Carthaginian beliefs pre-Christian/Islam was deeply Phoenician.
