No idea how you plan to achieve your goals when your first step is Holocaust denial.

Since we want the genocide to end before all Palestinians are dead it is not useful to demand that Harris calls the genocide a genocide

Fucking liberalism in a nutshell.

It’s 2024 and I’m ashamed we didn’t learn from supporting South Africa and Iran into the flames.

We did learn. Just all the wrong lessons. Iran taught us that you can ride a wave of hate for 50 years. South Africa taught us that you crack down on the BDS movement day one and keep the media on lock for your Apartheid friends.

She can honestly be pro Israel but also hope the turds that are the Likud Party lose

I’m not invested in the Likud Party losing if the war continues to expand and drag on.

The issue isn’t with her “pro-Israel” policy, it’s with her “pro-Genocide” policy. That’s what’s driving the protests.

the republicans threatened to impeach

Well, I’m glad we kept sending them money, so they can keep using it to lobby Republicans to threaten his impeachment.

Gerrymandering, baby! If you think it sucks at the national level, it gets even worse in the states.

Some of these districts are so heavily cracked/packed that Dems would need north of a 70% turnout advantage to take a simple majority.

Damn. Crazy that Harris and Biden keep sending Netanyahu tens of billions in military support and cash given Netanyahu’s support for a fascist coup of the American government.

The supermajority in the stage legislature is at stake, as well as several Federal House seats.

Damn, crazy how people keep insisting we have a free and fair election system, then do shit like this.

The Once and Future Sex: Going Medieval on Women’s Roles in Society, by Eleanor Janega concludes much the same.

but they did abuse the women

More matriarchal societies existed in primitive cultures than you’ll likely learn about in grade school.

The misogynist violence is not a consequence of human nature but a legacy of our engineered social system.

He realizes this every couple of years and then he forgets again during the next shareholders meeting

If you’re part of a caste system, you don’t have to be at the top to endorse it. We saw this play out in South Africa during apartheid to devastating effect for decades.

Building increasingly narrow traunches of hierarchy guarantees nearly everyone will have someone else they can bully. White women might be subhuman relative to white men, but they’re ubermensch compared to pocs, foreigners, and white children.

They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.

They see you as fulfilling a particular role and revile you for failing to fulfill that role. For all the noise about individual liberties, conservatives are just as collectivist as the rest of us when it comes time to talk about honor and obligation. The only question is what obligations are due and to whom.

Cities are about to get raided by hillbillies & rednecks

I’ve got some terrible news for you, about the political contingent common to plenty of big cities. It won’t be hillbillies and rednecks tearing shit up. It’ll be city cops, state troopers, and the deranged failsons of used car dealers.

They don’t need to be paid now. They can get fast-tracked onto the federal courts later.

Oh sure. You can buy tannerite explosives as part of a gender reveal kit, ffs. But, like with any kind of fireworks or similar explosive materials, there are risks to improper transportation and use.

You can buy firecrackers from stales on the side of the road in some states. But people injure themselves with firecrackers all the time.

Detonators are difficult to build and transport. In a high risk activity, like domestic terrorism, the offender has a bias towards getting the thing to work and away from personal safety. This compounds the risk of accidents.

And that’s before you get into the process of milling the combustion material. Which, again, not great for your long term health if you’re just trying to hack it in your garage or kitchen.

In theory, lots of things work great. In practice…

You generally want some kind of background and some proper equipment. I’ll concede that making thermite can easily go wrong in the opposite direction - cooking up a recipe that doesn’t ignite at all.

As a general rule, a yard sign is an indication of the sentiment of the individual/neighborhood and not a major factor in influencing whom other people are going to vote for. By contrast, watching someone come into my neighbor’s yard and tearing up signs is a highly polarizing/motivating force for otherwise apathetic or undecided voters.

Of course, if you’re in a neighborhood that’s full of very openly hostile political opponents, it might not be motivating in the way we’d hope. A bit like someone shoving a burning cross in your yard. Its as much a threat of future violence as it is an act of petty vandalism. A guy caught on camera doing this shit is motivating for the neighborhood, certainly. But police inaction when this guy is reported is its own kind of red-flag.
