At some point we’re going to start yelling at white people cosplaying as anime characters at conventions for insufficient woke-ness, aren’t we?

Honestly, the Japanese largely don’t give a shit about “appropriation”. As a culture, Japan feels inherently superior to everyone, and can be unapologetically racist and xenophobic. Of COURSE stupid Americans are imitating them. They seriously don’t need a bunch of bloggers trying to rescue them from cultural…

How FUNNY that white people are the only ones who ever make money off all of this supposed “cultural exchange!”

Face it, in America, you’re just not allowed to criticize Israel for any reason. Gotta love the McCarthyism.

At least the other 2 women look like women.
The random Kartrashian at the top looks like the front half of some strange glossy plastic female centaur thing with a Ken doll crotch.

She cannot say “Palestine” or “Palestinians” because there is a decades long trend to disposes the Palestinian people not only of their homes but of their very existence.

No, I don’t expect her to wholeheartedly condemn her country. But her statement was almost worse than nothing at all. And I really don’t think it’s a coincidence that she won’t say “Palestinians.” It’s not uncommon to hear hardline Israel defenders justify anything with “there’s never been a Palestinian people”…

I was really surprised by Yang’s defense of Israel in this instance. As an American Jew, I’ve long been sickened by Israel’s perpetual bullying of Palestinians, especially their habit of kicking Palestinians out of their homes to “settle” there. FWIW, I thought your point, Ashley, was that Gadot couldn’t even bring…

Nobody is expecting her to say “death to Israel” and nobody said she’s accountable for the actions of the Israeli government. It’s not antisemitic to condemn violence perpetrated by the Israeli government.

Their goal is far beyond banning abortion in red states or even beyond banning it in blue states — they want to criminalize it nationwide and move onto birth control next. They want El Salvadorian style laws where women can be jailed for miscarriages.

This is why Stephen Breyer at 82 needs to retire now so that Biden can replace him while there’s even the slightest chance to pass someone through the senate, before the ‘22 midterms.

Yeah, and no income tax isn’t just a red state thing. Washington doesn’t have one and it’s created a horrible crazy quilt of regressive taxation that plays right into the conservative faction’s hands. Every time something needs funding we have to pass a new tax or reallocate funds, which puts disproportionate pressure…

They want to rule our lives based on a fictional book.  Might as well just state that Harry Potter is scripture and should dictate how people live their lives.  It’s just as fake. 

Sadly, business will give lip service to this and maybe move an event out of the state but at the end of the day publicly traded corporations have a legal fiduciary duty to make as much money for the share holders — which includes setting up in states and countries with low taxes and regulations. The only way to…

This is where corporations have to make it clear they will not put HQs and plants in authoritarian states because it’s unacceptable for their workforce.

Most of the Texans in the state government don’t care if abortions are banned in red states because they can afford to send their daughters and mistresses to blue states such as California and New York. These politicians will stop at banning it in red states for that reason and will never pass a constitutional…

As a Texan, I’m sick and fucking tired of my tax dollars going to defend these fucked up laws just so some backwards-ass motherfuckers can feel good about pleasing their shitty, woman-hating Jesus.

It kills me how men just get to be themselves and woman have to pick something, only so they can get torn to pieces when they don’t line up with that category every second of every day of their lives.

If my suburban lady friends are any indication...

Like everything Kardashian, it was coldly calculated without an ounce of human feeling.
