And don't forget to add Ukraine onto that pile of useless wastes of billions, even more so since it's currently happening.

This is a long way of just saying the Federal Government is too large and needs less power over our lives. Government should be local, where you can have as smaller constituent to rep ratio.

You just said any term can be offensive and then said you don't know how BLM could be offensive. Most people killed by cops every year are white. Black Lives Matter presumes this is a black only or primarily a black issue. It's de

That's a braindead take. Not only were there hundreds of other cities that didn't vote for Trump, but getting along with people who may have different viewpoints on things is what diversity is all about. What's wrong with div

We have economically & culturally annexed huge swaths of the world. When nations push back, we bomb them into submission.

Jacobin is a very reputable publication. Super biased, but then that's why they're writing on this particular subject. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/jacobin/

FYI, although the article wants you to make the jump that n----- = "the hard R", it's actually referring to a less offensive albeit very dated term - negros (as in the United Negro College Fund). Negro is a word that annoys m

The problem is, the US has invaded more countries in the last 50 years than the rest of the world combined and it's always based on lies and/or ulterior motives. So we have zero credibility on this. At this point, if you don'

You're missing the entire point. It is a clown world where Black Lives Matter (never mind the fact most people killed by cops are white), but saying it's okay to be white is somehow offensive. The entire absurdity of that is why i

Kanye West's remarks were anti-Semitic though, not anti-white. You're allowed to make anti-white remarks.

That's not what's happening. 22% of Stanford's incoming class is white. That isn't representative of the US or Bay Area. It's not even close. Nobody would claim that in good faith.. Now, as long as they're miss

OK. It still sounds like you're making an argument that people are entitled to own their own home in a specific place just because they have family there, so how would that work in real life?

The issue isn't that those well enough off to hold significant stock in those companies are suffering. It's the people who don't have shares and 2nd homes to liquidate.

So those people all work at Walmart and McDonalds now instead? And as others have pointed out, our factories are heavily automated but you still need humans.

I used to think this too, but as it turns out there is always a younger generation not jaded to the lies that fall for them every single time.

I don't think Donbas is the entire justification is it? Also, we probably had even less justification to invade Iraq yet we stayed for 20 years. Makes it really hard to take any of the moralizing from the US & NATO seriously.
