I saw a statement somewhere else that basically said that every piece of plastic ever manufactured still exists today in some form or another- and will continue to exist, even in microscopic particle form, till humans are all but a shitty memory. We are being terrible stewards of the Earth- slumlords and absentee…

I think it’s more of a “Hey, you black people, we’re letting you make a ton of money to entertain us! Stop messing with our pastimes by expressing your autonomy and exercising your rights! You’re getting pretty uppity!” thing.

Wow, it’s almost like the protests, like the national anthem itself, have nothing to do with the troops and everything to do with the dehumanization of black people. Who knew!

You know, unless you stand for the national anthem in your living room, and put your hand over your heart and sing, I don’t want to hear it. Because if you don’t, then that means the only reason you do it live at the games is because everyone else is doing it. Not because you are overcome with patriotism. And that…

I am shocked that the NRA would use a dog whistle ad campaign using jingoistic propaganda to exploit white anger and make money.

hundreds of people have all conspired together

Smells funny to me. Its like when those girls all started getting that “movement disorder” or whatever it was a few years ago. Very weird...

the satire has been done several times, but this is a lost point. conservatives call on religion when they can pick specific parts to justify their financial larceny, but its really largely opposed to conservatism, thats why ayn rand was an aggressive anti-christian(and anti-theist in general), because Christianity,…

There’s also some bogstandard anti-regulation laissez-faire neo-liberal bullshit in there, too. “I earned bought my medical degree (and also some of it was retroactively subsidized) which means I can prescribe whatever I want! Bakers don’t have to make you your queer cake! It’s my decision if I sign your marriage…

He said, ‘the minute you consider health care a right, well, who’s going to satisfy that right?Those people who have the skill to satisfy that right, what does that make them if they’re forced to provide you with that rightful product of service?’
