^This. MTG is the epitome of PWT (poor white trash). Even though her fucked-up beliefs and proposals most likely will never amount to anything, the fact that she gets an elevated platform to spew them from just makes it all the more nauseating. 

No it’s not, Greene is like someone took a generic NPC model from an unreal 3 game, made a real life clone of it, and for a personality injected 50ccs of combined 8Chan and Twitter.

The problem is not overpopulation — a concept that only seems to be fearmongered over when it comes to non-majority-white nations — but resource distribution. We have more than enough for all; we choose not to allocate it equitably.

Most developed countries have fertility rates under two, and therefore need to raise their birthrates.

I’d argue that Harry got more of the “Diana influence” than William.

Royal family should give back what they stole from Africa before blaming population growth for climate change there.

William is just another Charles. Aloof, naive and sheltered from true suffering.

Nah it’s 100% straight-up racist; how much of that pressure on Africa’s wildlife and wild spaces is the result not of modern “overpopulation” but the cumulative effect of Europeans ravaging the continent’s mineral wealth, game, and natural resources for centuries?

Oh he’s not wrong. He’s merely ignoring the bejeweled elephant in the room who is sitting on a throne and living in wealth that was literally funded by racism, colonialism, and the slave trade of those very countries he's criticizing. 

I’d rather go after large corporations that ravage poor countries of their natural resources, avoid paying taxes, and throw a couple million dollars at empty PR campaigns and corporate “socal responsibility” than poor people who live in poverty and hunger and cannot substantively effect change on an individual level.

They aren’t. You a) didn’t read the article b) don’t know what you’re talking about. It isn’t just SOP to test pregnant women for drugs. The average suburban white woman isn’t going to get busted for having amphetamines or opiates in her system during pregnancy because she’s never going to be tested for them.

I’m a middle-aged parent, thank you very much.

“All pregnant women are tested for presence of the same drugs in their system”

Look, I totally agree with the gist of the article and the importance of ensuring all pregnant people can access compassionate, non-judgemental healthcare in a safe environment BUT there’s a huge difference between methamphetamine use during pregnancy and having the occasional glass of white wine past your 6th month…

Genetics don’t predispose people to drug and alcohol use and abuse.

When someone is showing off their collection of glasses and wigs, paid for with their constituents’ money, while also saying that their constituents shouldn’t be able to pay rent, it’s not a problem to point out how terrible that is.

I agree. I don’t go to work in a purple wig and thigh high suede boots with a miniskirt. If I did, my clients would think I do not take their matters seriously, and I wouldn’t blame them. Not sure why this should change simply because the person in question is a politician or a woman.

This. 100 percent this. Looking like a wannabe motorcycle gang member while chairing the senate (and checking your look in your phone) is a choice. And it’s a statement. A jean jacket with the sleeves cut out (or a store bought vest that sports that look) worn while presiding over the senate would have elicited…

Then I really hope going forward, you shut the fuck up forever and maybe even disappear forever, thanks.

If you think for one fucking second that if John Hickenlooper showed up to a vote and TV interview in a leather tiger print track suit that no one would talk about it, I’ve got a bus load of bridges to sell you. The reason no one talks about male clothing in Congress in because they’re all old and boring and wear the…

Came back after watching Passing to say I thought it was very good too! Well thought out and well-done all the way around! The black&white cinematography was a gorgeous choice, as was the way she used sunlight and shadow.
