The nazis kept claiming their victims deserved to be genocided too...

It's a safe bet anytime someone refuses to criticize the aggressors and only tries to rationalize their acts, that nothing they're saying is being communicated honestly.

There's no valid reason to listen to fascist propaganda, before anyone tries to claim we need to listen to "both sides".

If Israel wants people to listen, they can stop the fucking genocide then talk.

How about a 50 year old campaign commercial?

Means testing is never worth it, but "moderates" still push for it today

When Carter was named candidate it almost fractured the Dem party...

Because Jimmy F'n Carter was too conservative and Dem voters felt it was a beginning of a long pivot away from the left

Like, you know how Trump's talking about kicking people off welfare so they'd get jobs? That was a big part of Carter's stump speeches too.

People really don't understand how much we've fucking lost as a country.

Microsoft flat out said it in an investor meeting years ago...

It's not exactly a secret

The only reason their careers has lasted this long was prior iterations of the DNC protected them from primaries.

The current DNC won't do that.

If primary voters want to ditch the incumbent, Martin will support the new candidate just as hard as he would have supported the incumbent

He doesn't really care what candidate makes it to the general, except that they were/are the ones voters chose.

And sadly enough, that makes him the most progressive DNC chair since Carter's election.

It's a level playing field, and neoliberals can't win in that environment unless it's against a Republican.

They won't all get replaced at once, but it'll happen. And more will choose to cash out and become a lobbyist before losing office.

We don't need the individuals, we need the seat they're occupying.

The big problem with Republicans saying this was "enough" early warning....

Is that this still happened, and further cuts will happen

Warnings will be even later, even more people will die in the next one.

Rafael is like a groundhog...

If he won't show his shadow in Texas, watch out for extreme weather.

If he pops his head up, it'll be a nice sunny day

Biden and the rest of the neoliberals gave Bibi everything he wanted, but it was never going to be enough.

Give someone like that two choices who will do whatever he wants, but one is a sadistic asshole. And they'll go with the asshole everytime.

There was never any gain for a Dem to defend Bibi, except for the personal gain of campaign donations from a foreign country.

And that's one of the big reasons Dem turnout was low enough for trump to be president.

Neoliberals picked Israel over America and we need to get every single one of them out of office

I can't help but feel like when Hollywood switched to ME villains instead of nazis, it really had a large sociological effect.

Not that it was intentional propaganda, just that 20 years of "anything to stop poor brown people in the desert" had an effect different than "anything to stop the genocidal fascists".

Well, yeah...

Silverbacks used to be the go-to primate "alpha" example, but we know that "the tribe" isn't controlled by the Silverback, and it's not the biggest or most aggressive that "leads".

The females select more for compassion than anything. And the only real point of the Silverback in the tribe is to scare off rogue males.

Fights rarely happen, there just has to be a silverback already with the group to stop the rogues from hassling the group.

Even if a rogue male started a fight, and beat the group's silverback, there's still like 20 other gorillas, it's not like they only have conflict in 1v1 fights. They don't "win" leadership thru fighting.

The tribe just picks their own Silverback as designated chest thumper to avoid conflict.

Saw an interview of a guy whose house had like 5 feet of water...

He swam out a broken window, climbed on an electrical box but couldn't make it to the roof so he held on for 3 hours.

He said the phone alarm that there was a warning came thru while he was already outside clinging to the side of his house.

What kind of shitty click bait is this?

The richest man in the world officially announced on Saturday that he has officially formed a new political party to challenge Republicans and Democrats alike.

He fucking tweeted that it was created, literally nothing official.

Not for the first time in American history, but hopefully for the last time.

People give me shit for getting hung up on specifics, but remember that the majority of Germans really didn't know what was going on at the camps till the very end of the war when they were shown film evidence of camps being liberated.

The literal card carrying nazis tried to hide it better than what is happening now, when members of the party openly "joke" about feeding 65 million (the number of Hispanics, not immigrants even if legal were included) to alligators, there is no logical reason to believe they're being honest about what is really happening there.

Alligators have stomach acid strong enough to dissolve bone, it takes a while (months?) but eventually there will be no trace of a body. They could literally be tossing them in a swamp to dispose of bodies and because of how shadowy arrests have been, I doubt they're keeping good records of inmates.

People are going to disappear

toxic individualism

That's not the root problem. It's the lie told to defend ruthless capitalism:

If you can't make it, you're the problem

It's the absolute perfect time for Republicans to split...

This is gonna be the first fair Dem primary in decades that will be a fair fight. Musk and Trump having a slap fight while Dems can actually get the most popular candidate into the general?

Let em cook

Have you met trump voters?

They idolized trump because they believed he was wealthy

But musk is actually as wealthy as they believed Trump was.

Nothing else matters to them, wealth = power, and power is a good thing to ally with.

It's all basic psychology, because when you spend literal generations ignoring public education, around 40% of the population never gets past base animalistic thinking.

They're picking the aide they think is most powerful, because millions of years of instincts beat into us by evolution says the powerful will kill the weak. Learning the killing doesn't have to happen is the entire point of socialization, and we just don't teach that to humans anymore.

How the left is defending this particular religion is crazy.

1. All the Abrahamic religions have these extremists.
2. Name any of the other big three that have multiple genocides against their followers happening right now.

You're punching down by signaling out Islam, that's why you keep getting the feedback you're complaining about

Has no one tried explaining that to you yet?

Edit:

On a completely unrelated note, it's always weird when I stop replying to one account about this, another account with even less activity usually picks up right where the other left off ..

For at least six decades, neuroscientists have been arguing over a big, foundational question: Do adult brains make new neurons? This process of “neurogenesis” had been shown in other adult animals, but its evidence in humans was circumstantial—until now.

Bullshit...

We've known since the 90s because of cancer drugs.

Autopsies of people who received certain kinds of treatment showed neurogenesis because some braincells included certain isotopes that couldn't have been present in the body before treatment.

This is the first I've ever heard there was a "controversy" about it.

Fo fucks sake, we've known multiple ways to make it happen for years.

It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture

No. It's far right religious extremism....

You're taking the actions of the most extreme 0.001% and using a label that applies to literally billions of people...

It's hard to believe someone cant logically understand that

You've made it abundantly obvious that you're problem is the religion and not an isolated incident.

It's also obvious why you're hyper focused on the far right extremists of just one of the Abrhamic religions when literally all of them have extremists doing the same fucking shit. Because their rationale for doing so is literal the same original rules, and for the literal same god.

If you want to avoid people pointing out the bias in what you're doing talk about far right religious extremists of all religions, not just a singular one.

Especially when the religion you're hyper focused on are the victims of multiple genocides right fucking now
