Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality and equality before the law. Has nothing to do with progressing or moving forward, and defining it in such terms is a fundamental misunderstanding. The idea that history is moving

Damn, I hadn’t considered that angle but you’re right.

Having Michael Vick but no Cam is mega yikes. 

The fact that Bruschetta and Biscotti aren’t on here is proof that Anti-Italian racism is still alive and well. 

Why does every AI inevitably start denying the holocaust and calling for the elimination of marginalized groups?

Reminder that Andrew Cuomo is the reason the Republicans control the house right now. 

rubber guns and cgi muzzle flashes are a scourge upon movies and any director willing to bring back blanks and squibs can have all of my money.

Say what you will about Family Guy, but that joke that the Fox News offices celebrate MLK day on the day he got shot was pretty good. 

How is that different from what literally every social media app does, except that your data is in the hands of the nefarious inscrutable oriental instead of good, upstanding white people?

Oh god, Are we retconning Condi Rice into a black girl magic boss bitch?

Awesome now when will the US be releasing the thousands of “political prisoners” in prison for weed crimes? 

He ain’t wrong. 

People with CTE need representation in government. 

I’m glad you’re wishing for rail workers to get murdered when Biden sends the military to break up a wildcat rail strike. 

The fact that the Dems pushed this half measure through instead of, you know, actually passing gay marriage into law while they have both houses of congress and the presidency in their control should tell you ever need to know about them.

This entire argument is you moving the goalposts. You never argued why Brittney Griner is significantly different than the thousands in the US serving prison sentences for drug possession, and is therefore “Wrongfully imprisoned.”

You skipped a zero in your Russian prison mortality numbers. It’s .006%, not .06%.

The number is higher than the US, sure, but not that significantly especially when you consider that the US has significantly more prisoners than Russia and almost double the prisoners per capita. Both countries are higher than the European average.

I’m just going to pull up the sentencing guidelines for Alabama since they’re currently starving their prison population for the crime of not wanting to be slaves, but possession there carries a sentence of up to 10 years. If she had been flying to Montgomery instead of Moscow, would there be half as much outrage? 

I have bad news about US drug policy and prison conditions.
