Is the late 1500s "ancient" now?
I don't have much to add, because I don't know any personally, but I saw one on Twitter this morning comparing people making ice-pick memes/jokes at Trotskyists to throwing noose imagery at black people. Which is wild.
Found it. Apparently this guy writes for WSWS
Even if it does happen in China, a couple years ago (or maybe even just 2023, time is meaningless these days) this Hyundai plant in the southeast US was exposed for employing a lot of child labor. So for the US to accuse China of that is pure hypocrisy
yo uhhh… where are you finding it that cheap?👀
Trying to explain this to my grandma, let alone a peasant from centuries ago, would probably do her in
it doesn’t matter what liberals were 100 years ago
The liberal rejection of history on full display. In an irl argument I had a few weeks ago, a guy I know tried to act like the KMT takeover of Taiwan 70 years ago was irrelevant to modern-day politics.
Lol and Kavanaugh and Barrett, who are now LIFETIME appointments to the Supreme Court, directly worked on Bush's legal team pushing to stop the recount in 2000. Chief Justice John Roberts was an adviser to the governor of Florida, Bush's brother Jeb, during that time as well. But yeah, "wOrLd'S oLdEsT dEmOcRaCy"
I knew what this was going to be before I unblurred the pic and it still hurt me
I like this line from that one a lot; really shifted my perspective (the context being commenters on a news site loudly denouncing people who are pro-kitten burning):
The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.
Nearly identical to the way the average American discusses China, Russia, Iran, DPRK...
