Maybe what she wants is for you to figure out what YOU want instead to just reacting to her.

How far does someone have to shove their tongue up the butthole of capitalism before the term "animal wealth" rolls off it?

😭😥😢 Here's a few to choose from, I assume you can still copy and paste.

AOC is great too, but I think some people are looking for revolution in the party and Jasmine gives off more "ready to flip the table over" energy, which is resonating with a lot of people these days.

Like the Republican party?

Appealing to their better selves hasn't worked. I'm ready to try someone willing to tell them to sit down and shut up because the adults are talking. Besides, if you watch her speak for a bit, it's clear she has earned that confidence and done her homework.

Eugenics isn't just done by government. The world has been limiting the reproduction of the disabled through social pressure for ages. Look at the stigma interracial relationships used to have. Examples are everywhere.

Why does everyone think eugenics only means the way the Nazis did it?

It's a broad term people. The government is the most heavy handed way to implement it but social pressure is arguably more effective and harder to end.

Look. If you want to talk about ethnic cleansing, talk about ethnic cleansing. If you want to talk about mass murder, talk about mass murder. But the term "eugenics" covers a lot of possibilities whether you like that or not.

Sorry.

Well, once involves mass murder and the other doesn't, so I think the people being impacted by that would see a difference.

But if your worldview needs overgeneralizations to survive, you do you I guess.

Which eugenicists?

There a big difference between "kill everyone of a certain race" and "you don't get to reproduce if you have a horrifying heritable disease".

I think you have it backwards, it's no wonder people who are easy to manipulate get drawn into religion.

It's worse that that, they didn't devolve into being part of the establishment, they hoodwinked you and played you for fools the whole time.

Sorry I don't have any good advice. I don't have any inner voice, as far as I'm aware.

 

With this year's guardian games coming to a close along with the hoverboard preview, I'll admit that it was nice to let warlocks keep theirs, but I wonder when they will be releasing them to the other classes?
