The Gaming Den

So the bolded isn't wrong it is just not good enough for you. Just say that instead of being wrong on purpose. The White House claim isn't why I gave credit to Biden. The union gave Biden credit. It's in the article. If I were to guess it would be in every article I would look up over this specific...

So a few things. I specifically said my position on Biden hasn't changed. The thing you posted about the union not wanting to give up their right to strike does not counter the fact that they got concessions, ones the union agreed to that are talked about in the article I posted, and I don't know w...

Apparently Biden did something more for the railway workers after he shut down their attempt at a strike and from what little I've heard it has been in their interest. It was done quietly and the only reason I know that something happened is because of the media I consumed but it was something. I d...

I saw this movie like...3 months ago? Aside from some pacing issues (the Sorcerer's problem was so boring and felt like it dragged on forever for no fucking reason) and the usual "every dramatic moment needs to be ruined with unfunny quips" thing that appears to be required ever since MCU ...

Symbolic gestures are worth nothing. Remember when the Democrats all wore kente cloth and kneeled, and then immediately began funding the police even more so they can better murder people of color? I'll believe Biden supports unions when he starts actually supporting unions. It is always good optics...

I'm not surprised by the wrongness. I am surprised he went through the effort of finding a link to the actual program instead of posting a link to Triumph of the Will . Our resident fascist is no longer linking directly to nazi propaganda and is now doing the bare minimum to cover his tracks. Althou...

Yes this is about the fact that that exists. And in Canada of all places . . Depressed? Here, let us kill you! Homeless? Here, let us kill you! Did you not read your own link? To apply for MAID you must have a grievous and irremediable medical condition , which means being unhoused or depressed wou...

And then what? It's not unreasonable for me to take your assertion about the state's "gamble" about violent retaliation as a gamble that that violent retaliation will be effective in stopping Cop City. And yet despite your two paragraphs of ranting about consequentialism, you aren't actua...

That clears things up, and now it's clear to me that the misunderstanding here is that you think public opinion is a part of the path to success. I think you'll find that movements we like such as the civil rights movement and women's suffrage were opposed by the majority of people right up through ...

Maybe there are some states that don't want to spend massive amounts of resources on the cops, but I can assure you that the one being led by Joe "the solution to police brutality is to give cops more money" Biden is not one of them. Cops love when their cars get set on fire because they ...

The correct statement quoted at the start was presented as a rebuttal to PS's assertion. It did not in fact rebut that assertion. The point is that if you're going to be punished for innocuous shit as well as for illegal shit, then you might as well skip to the illegal shit and shift your concerns ...

The police are really gambling on this. If you make donating to bail funds punishable in the same way burning a cop car is punishable you're going to see a lot more burned cop cars. Also, if you make it clear that doing legal things (like donating to bail funds or handing out pamphlets and zines) wi...

Doesn't that mean they are positioning themselves as being on the side of Floyd's murderers? Do they know their side lost that trial? Also, why the fuck would someone who is defending cop city remind people of Floyd's murder at all? That was a bad thing! Surely they are aware of what happened after ...

I don't disagree, I just don't see why jail wouldn't be a part of the punishment and rehabilitation of a serial child exploiter. Our current punishments are heinous and overdone to the extreme, but mandatory classes and staying in a dorm-like setting until the offender understands why exploiting chi...

There are better ways to fix the problem of child labor then jail! You can simply take away their ability to employ people by seizing their company! If they don't have a company, they can't hire children. Fixing problems instead of punishing them, ect. Taking away power would be better, that's true...

https://www.columnblog.com/p/our-fines-only-approach-to-child This is a good example of the general abolitionist point. When we think things are bad and need to be dissuaded we don't always reach for carceral solutions. We think we can address them in other ways. We only reach for carcerl solutions...

Iirc Eric Adams' list of lies include things like claiming he was taken to Maclom X speeches regularly while he was a child (which is only probably impossible for him to remember, as Maclom X was assassinated when Adams was 4), that he didn't know what kale was until 2016 in spite of having been doc...

It's not cheating if my side does it, and if Eric Adams was on your side you'd think it was fine for him to do fraud. /s

We probably should have laws against committing campaign finance fraud to steal money from the public. That seems like it's more serious than, say, stealing a TV from a Target.

Oh, that makes sense. Russia could absolutely still win on the battlefield (even if that's unlikely) and now they don't really have a choice except to go after the whole Ukrainian government if they do start winning.

I wouldn't be that shocked if we got a Nazi party (or something similar) for the 2028 election. It would probably be the most successful third party in the US during my entire life. Ok, I know the Republicans have gotten pretty close to outright genocide with some of their stuff, but I mean a no-shi...

I don't think Russia could win the war in the sense of conquering Ukraine (and don't think that was really their plan, I think it's probably what Omegonthesane said). Maybe they could have won the war and then fought against an Afghanistan-style insurgency through a proxy government forever in centr...

Maybe this was his plan the whole time! Why conquer a country when you can invade it, get its bullshit allies to require it to pay for a war it can't afford by selling off all its state assets and turning its people into serfs, and then buy the shit you wanted anyways? Obviously that's not the case ...

There's that thorough looting by capitalists! It sounds like how Russia did it with their vouchers, but worse (unless they gave Ukranians shares in the state enterprises they are selling off, but I haven't heard of anything like that happening). I can't wait to see how people spin literally selling ...

It's weird that two political candidates in the 2024 election have made unmistakable references to the nazis on Twitter. Also, will nazis ever realize that 14 and 88 aren't crypto anymore? The New York Times explained those in 2020 (idk if they explained it earlier or later as well), even relatively...

No, no, no. You guys are all against Ukraine because you want the US to not send mass murder bombs. And obviously we can't send them other weapons because then we wouldn't have enough missiles and shit to blow up China if they go for Taiwan. I know what you might be thinking, "couldn't we send ...
