This Machine Understands the Economic Anxiety of Fascists

That’s legitimately the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

Walt Disney died more than 50 years ago and the accusations that he was an Anti-Semite aren’t particularly well founded.

I’m a Chewbacca, not necessarily the Chewbacca.

I don’t know what that means though. 30% of families, does that mean 30% of all southern men? Would bachelors count as a family?

I’m not certain but I’m fairly sure I didn’t say the slave trade and Nazism were the same, just that it frames how I think about the general culpability of people under the Third Reich and the Antebellum South.

As a Chewbacca I tend to think of it the way I do the South and Slavery. A relatively small percentage of Southerners owned slaves and directly profited from the slave trade but almost all of them were racist as fuck and generally ok with the system as it existed, so fuck ‘em.

Well, if you’re talking about the people criticizing Israel I, when I’m feeling charitable, like to think it’s not so much anti-semitism as it is a sort of mass laziness. These are people who want to feel politically active and right-on but don’t actually want to make sacrifices in their lives.

Can the Nazi in question read? Because, you know, some of them couldn’t read. Which was pretty sad.

Israel has nukes. It has had them for a while now. It’s got the strongest military in the region by miles. If they wanted to control Gaza and the West Bank and eliminate the people therein, they would have.

I don’t even know if it’s necessarily a case of just isolated incidents of horrible bigotry. It seems like people who are generally big on the BDS movements can’t admit that there’s anything off whatsoever in the way their movement is structured.

Jeez, it’s creepy how much he looks like his Father. And acts like him.

Fair enough. I have a slightly different read on it but honestly it’s just one example of it. Like I said, Trudeau seems decent enough. Just not a rocket scientist.

I don’t have a problem with it on the basis of angering the US but I think it’s questionable on its face in our relationship with the Cuban people(I think you’d agree, for instance, that Castro’s popularity within Cuba is a tough thing to get an entirely honest read on).

Even then though, he seems to be dragging his feet a bit on the weed

Yeah, something tells me Gronk will be there so long as they promise him the White House has beer and raw meat.

He’s ok. There’s sort of an element of not too bright son who inherited the family business to him though(Praise for Castro, for instance).

Trudeau is looking at that hand like he doesn’t know where it’s been. Or, I guess in Trump’s case, he does.

I think that’s because one of the real complexities of this issue is that there is some anti-semitism tied up in the anti-Israel movement. The problem with that, other than anti-semitism generally being bad, is that whatever percentage of it you want to peg it at does tend to delegitimize the valid points contained

Well, the actor is Charles Dance and he’s reading an excerpt from one of the 50 shades books. As for the why I think it was for a British comedy show.

I mean, it’s not like Clarkson’s a mile better but punching Piers Morgan is still a public service.
