No. not a clue. I've heard of Mad magazine but I don't know that much about it.

there's no proof the CIA was directly involved we just trained all the officers who carried it out, provided the lists for the death squads, and supported the atrocities in every way except literally carrying them out ourselves. Great.
fucking fine. sure. I guess.
Still annoyed that More Perfect Union just does puff pieces for democrat faves now though.
And brightline in florida is decidedly not high speed lol. I wonder if they're gonna have to cut corners to make the 2028 timetable.
your youtube link has a tracking token on it (?si=etc)
meanwhile in the trans mega turns out they're already a thing (not a shitpost someone was just talking about prosthetics)
mine was slightly but I injected estrogen into it so I think that's normal
I guess a lot of standards are this way to some extent but like, a voluntary certification produced by some random company for profit is barely a standard at all, when it comes to certification of life-safety-critical equipment. That's what I meant by "kinda aren't any requirements, it's all voluntary".
It's kinda silly that the guy who tries to go out to sea in a plastic bubble or whatever gets stopped by the coast guard but rich idiots they're like "go ahead sir right away sir"
thats the point though there kinda aren't any requirements I thought? Its all voluntary iirc?
I've had people tell me that I've encouraged them to come out themselves after just seeing me at some party, sitting in the corner and being too terrified to talk to anyone.
Straight up I happened to be going the same direction as a trans woman on public transit yesterday and it kinda made my week? Like, got off the train at the same stop and then transferred to the same bus (except I got on at a different stop because I didn't know about a construction detour) and she was like "hello again" and it made me so happy (also nervous but thats just me). Just noticing each other in public is weirdly powerful. I still think about an androgynous person in a dress low key looking like a pirate that I saw months ago at a coffee shop one night. It really does make a huge difference
I ended up listening to the entire speech. I had forgotten that this absolute gem was literally part of an off the cuff response to an audience question.
Someone asks basically "does it make sense for us in the US to look at the Soviet Union as a model to be followed", and he goes off on a 5 minute response encompassing 1) no, the soviet union is a very different place, very poor and destitute historically, so revolution wouldn't look the same in the prosperous US, and 2) he covers the implication about AES countries being poor with an absolutely iconic speech about comparing these countries not to the US or europe, but to what their conditions looked like before the revolution, with several detailed and exceedingly passionate examples. then 3) he gives the quote you posted about liberals demanding perfect liberty for the fascists, 4) he mentions not supporting revolutions completely unqualifiedly/uncritically, and fighting/not supporting the "reaganite" regimes that do the opposite. 5) he encourages everyone to learn more about the unique and innovative changes in political organization that come out of AES countries, and evaluate each on its own merits and choose which we might want to emulate vs which we don't want.
Quite the helpful and revealing diatribe for a very "bait"-y audience question.
