Anarchists I know very much consider how many could be hurt.

Very much like "the captain" in The Handmaid's Tale (book version, never saw the tv version).

🤦‍♀️

American beer! No thanks.

I'm old enough to (barely) remember Nixon (not nearly was old enough to vote), and I vomit in my mouth a little, whenever I recall he ever made it to vice presidency, let alone president.

And I appreciate your admitting you ASSume way too much. Murica, heck yeah!

Can I please get a source on that? Tyia.

In some cases, the acceptable way to display the flag is to burn it. Is day now is such a time.

I usually like Newcastle Summer, I'm not a fan of Stella. Blue Moon is acceptable. But since neither that nor Newcastle is sold as singles near me (and a 12 oz or pint not even once a week, at most twice a month is the most I'll drink at one time), that usually means Heineken. I've 2 pint cans in the fridge now (I prefer bottles), but that is because I'm the last month, a neighbor has brought me three, in return for small favors. And the first was lovely, to wash down a nice potato poon. It balances the sweetness nicely.

ETA: tbh I hate stouts, but I'm really not a beer drinker. When I drank liquors occasionally, I usually preferred a pricier tequila or single malt Scotch, and being on limited funds, that curbs that, nicely.

The only time I've ever had Irish whisky was in Bailey's, but if anyone can recommend a good Irish, I'll keep it in mind.

We'll you're arguing with Americans where "left" barely means "center" or "right but not far right." See also the DK effect.

• Edited. After just having read a reply to my saying that Joe Biden is a low bar set for a Democrat, being called a c and saying wished rooting in hell, I must retract the bit about ”not far right."

Jamaican curried goat is divine, and it must be Jamaican curry, and added water must be tricked very slowly down the side of very hot, cast iron Dutch oven and simmered quite a while. I was fortunate enough to have a Jamaican neighbor show me the trick. And to my American compatriots, sweet potatoes are not yams.

Throw in dill relish and it's Thousand Island dressing. I worked in a restaurant making it.

A chicken or cheese sandwich or Southern coleslaw (acv, no sugar) is about the only time I will use mayo, very sparingly. And it's gotta be Texas Pete, copious amounts.

It's in everything, along with plenty of salt and cancer causing dyes and artificial flavoring. Even our locally sourced, home farm based meats and vegetables are laden with chemicals and virtually zero nutritional value because hardly anyone let's soil lie fallow, and doesn't use a tin of Miracle Grow and weed killer. I'm my specific area, you can't even find chicken feed that's nutritious for the birds and almost no one free-ranges. The closest you'll find in my area are a pig that's given table scraps in addition to feed, and no one knows what's in either chicken or hog feed, unless it's cracked corn, and well... You get it.

Yank here. Most of us were raised on American Exceptionalism which has been pounded into our head since birth, for a few generations. There's no point arguing this, because murica...

I've never had a decent American beer. PBR is the closest to decent I've ever had.

They clearly never had soul food or Gullah/Geechee food.

Yes, projection is an favorite authoritarian tactic.

Thanks for that. I just searched and found the Fromm book. Commenting so I can find this and read Adorno, later.

Remember Dr. Tiller?
