  • Where did I judge these people by their nation state? I’m judging them based on their actions.

    This behavior is very reminiscent of the behavior of Israeli “settlers” in the West Bank, and I was pointing out that comparison.

    I judge the nation of Israel, which is democratic with mandatory conscription (i.e. brainwashing every Israeli adult into believing Palestinians are literally subhuman) for creating these people. But in a democratic system, the people aren’t entirely blameless.

    And no it’s not the same as Hitler, he was (barely) elected and then seized power and did away with the democracy, so it’s not like the German people could have just voted him out (not that they would have).

    We (humans) have already settled this anyway. Read The Banality of Evil to understand why the German people are absolutely not blameless, and it’s perfectly acceptable to criticize them as individuals.



  • US District Judge Mark T. Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump

    This is where we share reaping what we sowed with the long term secondary and tertiary damage from electing Donald Trump (and by extension, giving the Federalist Society carte blanche to re-form the judiciary in their hateful, spiteful image). They will continue to happen for decades to come (and will often be blamed on the liberals/progressive currently in power because they’ll be the only ones trying to do anything to fix it).

    The future’s looking bright, guys











  • Israeli “settlers” have been stealing land from Palestinian families that have lived there for generations. For decades.

    I agree that Jewish people as a whole aren’t guilty, but the type that go into other people’s homes, on other people’s land in other people’s countries are the same type that carry AR-15s when marching into a village in the West Bank to say, “this is mine now.” Fuck those people.

    It’s ok to call the Proud Boys shit without damning the entire US population.




  • Meh, this is just the free market in action. Now after decades of “collateral damage,” the market can correct itself. People will stop using the offending brand(s) because everyone needs to be an expert on literally everything or else they too can become collateral damage while the market “corrects.” It’s their own fault really.

    And in this case, customers will stop using companies and services that use RoundUp, because again, they need to know everything including what chemicals that the contractor their town hired uses in the public park. And then lobby them to switch to a (likely more expensive) alternative.

    Come on, that’s just capitalism, guys smh
