Centrists also support immigration because brown people are genetically better at yucky jobs like cleaning bathrooms. In their world view, AI is simply doing the job no one else wants to do, freeing society* from the requirement to labor.

Liberal resistance to fascism:

A kitchen stove can also be called a range, so having three microwaves could imply the displacement of conventional cooking appliances (such as ranges) hence deranged

Oh that’s a clever one

In the linked video, his final message states that he converted due to the cost-benefit ratio and also to satisfy his Christian friends.

Not Adams

It is true that virtually all of his predictions were wrong. But he was right about one thing: his death was unavoidable. And now he will forever “get the hell away from Black people”, following his own advice. You gotta hand it to him, he did what he said he would, eventually, if you squint. Though, his last-minute conversion to Christianity might subvert even that.

Overall I agree with you ITT but on the specific point of whether to call it out, I think that question has been settled among communists since the at least the Bolshevik era. Communists should not hesitate on matters of principle.

Now I think there are productive and counterproductive ways of doing it at a large rally. It would be unwise to antagonize people sincerely listening and considering your ideas. But there should be at least a comment educating the group on why it is a wrong approach and why no party members will be seen carrying the flag. To do otherwise is to allow insinuation and, if any movement ever takes off, it defers the struggle to a later point and you have to purge a bunch of liberals from your org.

Would you mind wrapping a spoiler tag around the end of that first block?

American politics and activism is not the same as everywhere else in the world.

So deluded. Just showing their whole ignorant ass. Their barbaric mobs, our sober democracy.

I don’t think it was that haphazard. Trump is unhealthy and thinking about his legacy, whether he’s getting into heaven etc. Legacy is why he cared about Nobel prize too.

Good comment. US is the largest petroleum exporter. As much as Venezuela has, it was never about getting more oil, but about control of oil. Vijay Prashad had this same take a few days ago.

The “uninvestible” whining from Exxon is just a circus to extract the sweetest of sweetheart deals from the US government if/when it is stolen from Venezuela. They want all the profit and no risk, please and thank you.

Only betas get scurvy. It is a sign of weakness.
