Israel has been using white phosphorus for decades. There’s no way the US didn’t know about this.

Say sike right now

Damn, guess we should go back to our own borders

Goddamn I love Sean O’Brien

It’s cuz they’re too chicken shit to actually raise the menu price. So they can blame the government or the workers instead of taking responsibility for paying their staff shit wages forever

Yeah there’s literally laws against it lol. The op analogy sucks.

Psychologists up until the 90s be like

It’s weird though. The header says 11 but the article says a dozen.

This woman cheeses

He’s a former banker who lives in Aspen. Of course he has no strong opinions other than maintain status quo.

With books when I used to read more, very frequently. I’d be going strong until the last 50-100 pages and then set it down and not pick it up again. Then I’d forget wtf was happening and usually just give up. Games are similar too.

Damn, okay. I take it back. I guess I’m just so used to seeing fascists use terms like population decline, etc. that I’m pretty jaded. I don’t personally agree with the proposition that we should prevent population decline, but respect where they’re coming from otherwise. Thanks for the links

I’m going to use “=” as a shorthand that means what the statements are dog whistling. These are statements from their about page

Declining fertility rates more prominently among the affluent = the poor shouldn’t be reproducing, and we should encourage only rich babies (this one sounds alot like those silicon valley pronatalists). Also “affluent” is usually code for white.

Forced migration and places being “unable to take care of their own” = anti-immigrant, isolationism.

Demographic changes = tied closely to the last one, but typically also related to domestic racism and almost always bigoted against nonwhite people. Never seen someone worry about demographic changes without a racial element.

NIMBY regulations = deregulate housing market and allow developers to build whatever. Given all the other things and the fact they don’t mention affordability makes me think they just want to make developers rich.

The interesting thing here is they mention austerity and privatization a couple times. These are typically left wing critiques. So honestly it’s pretty confused. It’s possible it’s left wing trying to propagandize to the right. Could be vise versa. Seeing population decline (especially since it’s mostly majority white nations that have declining populations) as a bad thing gives me fascist impressions.

The article is weak and just a bunch of bullets points without much info. But that website is pretty weird. The about page is full of concern about demographic changes, dog whistles about only poor people procreating, and immigration being concerning. Some decent points about healthcare privatization though. Pretty sus overall.

Because the 2 party system means we’d get an even bigger freak in office. I hate pelosi and feinstein and they will never get my vote, but its a little better than whatever Larry Elder type they’d get to run against them.

Maggie was on point with this article. “Defacatory disaster” is top tier journalism.

For real. You could have the best argument in the world, and Thomas etc al will just say, “No”

Seems like a long shot, but that would be cool af

I would love to see the moment humans first learned complex speech patterns. Yes it was probably a long process. But to see the first complete sentence uttered would be cool as hell. Even better if I could somehow understand it.

Looks great! Is picoroni another word for pecorino? Or maybe just a typo
