Very few countries, if any, give legal preferance to one ethnicity except for israel. China is almsot entirely chinese people, but if a white person moves there they are not discriminated against by the government.
Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like “Yeah Biden’s got some problems, but at least he didn’t do a few of the things trump did.” If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you’re a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.
Heres a great summary of liberalism: “If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good.” Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.
Like, they fundamentally don’t realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn’t wealthy, white, and male.)
Gazas children aren’t even allowed visas for life saving medical care in israeli hospitals, which is only necessary due to Israel bombing almost all Gaza hospitals.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, 75, sparked raised eyebrows over his whereabouts when he was absent during oral arguments on Monday, and the Court provided no explanation....
FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It’s somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn’t make any sense beyond simply “capitalism”. The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn’t a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil.
This would be a lot more meaningful if America didn’t implicitly condone the actions when done by Israel or anybody on our side. As is, it simply looks hypocritical for Americans to criticize a war crime, while we take no issue with it elsewhere.
Where was the MSM calling this amove used by terrorists when Israel Triple Tapped an aid truck? It makes us look stupid at best and like outright liars at worst.
Because America is funding the other side of the war. It really puts a damper on criticism of a country at war when the people they’re fighting are primarily funded by people doing the exact same thing.

Democrats trying to hand the election to Republicans again, I think you mean. Or did Jill stein secretly trick Biden into supporting a genocide? Did Jill stein convince the DNC in 2016 that the data that showed Bernie would have won wasn’t true or something?
Liberals aren’t blue maga, and Jimmy Dore isnt a leftist. Not sure why you felt the need to identify that you’re an idiot in your username, surely we all could have come to that conclusion ourselves after reading one comment by you, no?
Liberals aren’t Blue MAGA because,for the most part, they hold their beliefs for reasons involving logic, and in their minds, if “The Right Information” came across their desk, they’d change their mind. Though in reality they are falling for propaganda only marginally less dumb than what trump supporters believe. It just that trump supporters believe all the liberal propaganda, AS WELL AS the utterly ridiculous shit too, such as QAnon.
That said, liberals ARE exactly as bad as MAGA when it comes to ignoring awful shit their candidate does in the name of winning. Both sides expect us to ignore that their candidate is actively horrible, because supposedly it was chosen to be this way democratically.
Why would we want China to curb their green energy exports? Isn’t that literally the whole point of trying to fight climate change, finding ways to use more green energy?
The requirement was never “Biden calls for a ceasefire”. It was “Biden forces a ceasefire and stops selling weapons to a genocidal state.” Also everyone who y’all call a Russian troll is just a leftist that you disagree with.
Irrelevant. We have the biggest military in the world, and with great power comes great responsibility. We should have bombed their capitol and assassinated Netanyahu months ago. Biden is complicit in genocide.
That’s incredibly speculative. What reason do you have to think Trump cares HOW the conflict ends? When has trump ever cared about anyone besides himself?
True, my answer was simply the most obvious one, there are certainly better ways to depose Netenyahu and israels genocide. But if Biden wants an easy answer, its to just fucking kill him and force israel to end their genocide.
The problem is, it doesn’t really measure the risk of lending, it measures the profitability of lending. And it results in people who probably shouldn’t be loaned money being taken advantage of by corporations.
The potato famine happened because Britain stole all of Ireland’s potato’s. There were ships full of potatoes leaving Ireland regularly. There was no actual issue with growing food, except that potatoes were too cheap for the capitalists to profit off ofby selling them back to the Irish.
