Ok, but let’s try to be fair here… Those were the children of slaves. Yes, perhaps the slaves that Jefferson raped, but what is he going to do, not enslave them? Lol
Gene Folkes had just been jettisoned as a contestant on “The Apprentice” and was commiserating with a crew member at a bar inside the lobby of Trump Tower. He was indignant — and not just at having been kicked off the reality show after its star, Donald Trump, had delivered his catchphrase: “You’re fired.”...
Remember everyone: it’s only racist if you say a slur. This is why systemic racism isn’t real: it’s just an abstract concept, and therefore cannot speak.
A federal judge on Thursday ordered former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to report to prison on July 1 to begin a four-month prison sentence for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 Committee after a higher court rejected his appeal....
What’s not to get? You seem to understand it just fine. Rather than actually paying their workers a living wage, they can have customers subsidize their pay.
And then when they have a bad night and end up making $4/hour, tips included, you blame the customers for not tipping and not the employer who pays you literally $3/hour.
What an odd thing to say… For one, “slippery slope” is literally the name of the logical fallacy you’re doing here.
But also, think about what you’re saying for a moment. How does accurately describing a person’s behavior dehumanize them? Are we just supposed to never acknowledge shitty behavior in others?
It’s kind of the opposite… I’ve never heard an animal described as “deplorable”. I’m not sure they’re capable of it? So if anything, the term is humanizing.

Right. Because it is always about money, and if their sales figures weren’t going to go down, then it seems like they’d end up saving a ton of money by completely cutting out their entire advertising budget. No need to even design a logo.
“Really guys, we just want to spend more money than we need to! This won’t stop people from smoking, we just really want to spend more money to design logos, packaging, advertising, etc.”
Lol he fucking wishes he was in any way like a “real” crime boss.
He’s never been put in a life or death situation like this, but I have zero doubt that if it came down to his life or the life of one of his kids, he would let his kid die without a second thought.
Even if it came down to something like life in prison, he would throw his wife and kids under a bus to save himself in a heartbeat to save himself from prison.

The Communist Manifesto was basically a pamphlet written to be understood by mostly uneducated workers… There’s not much reason to have never read it at this point, regardless of personal politics.
We’re not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital. It’s like 30 pages or something.
Why does Stalin “rule”? This is a question from a fellow “leftist.”
Either ignorant, or you’re just a really bad person. Just such a stupid fucking thing to say. Take a step back from the Internet and read a book. Saying “Stalin rules ✊” doesn’t make you cool, it just makes you look like an idiot.
Stalin was a paranoid, murderous dictator responsible for the unnecessary deaths of countless millions of people. Or does it not count because he didn’t murder them himself?
Can’t wait to hear about how the holomodor wasn’t his fault…
