Because if you aren’t the bad guys then they’re just essentially the low level stooges of the evil mastermind just doing mundane evil shit for no discernable reason.
Where as if you’re the bad guy they’re virtuous principled people just doing what’s right (allowing them to have complete dominion over the moral high ground)
It was probablly just a list of 20 humanities electives they had to pick 4 of for gen Ed requirements (not say9ng this is a bad thing maybe if there was more of this 1/4 of every engineering class wouldn’t go straight to Lockheed martin)
They’re supposed to be less rigorous and a little more general than other courses, this is really grasping at straws for a reason to ignore the point being made.
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
“Lawfare” meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
“Disinformatsiya” or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
“Sanewashing” to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it’s a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about “sanewashsing” and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren’t exactly the fucking same as Trump.
Maybe but I’m pretty skeptical. If he wins the popular vote he’s going to win upward of 35 states. New York and California should be worth like 2 to 3x the EC votes they get. It’s hard to overstate how much just those two states skew the popular vote for dems.
The only republican to win the popular vote in my lifetime was Bush still coasting off of 9/11 jingoism.
I will say that if he wins the popular vote that should be the end of the current form of the democratic party, if you can’t convince the majority of people you’re a better candidate than the guy who audibly shits himself on national television while slowly staying back and forth to 3 different version of Ave Maria I think it’s time to admit you’re cooked.
But then again losing easily winnable elections to republicans has been the dems entire strategy for decades now.
Idk if it’s medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.
Semantic satiation
“It’s not racist because it’s true, they really should be exterminated.”
That is a perfectly clear message for me actually.
It’s about opposing genocide or not. “Do nothing knowing that will cause the genocide to continue” is close enough to “continue the genocide” for me.
“My bookie said giving him this months grocery budget was a great idea.”
Was about to say the butter and egg one look great but that might just be cause I really like eggs and have had ones that looked like the too much egg and it was delicious.
A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.
Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.
Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we’d spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that’s better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.
“We put three different kinds of rubbery bacon on top of it and you better believe we’re charging you a premium for every one”
Go figure the cowardly liberal doesn’t have a response or defense for their shitty beliefs that literally boil down to supporting nazis and instead tries to appeal to existing power structures to get dissenting voices silenced.
Another example of why they’re deserving of nothing but open contempt.
Oh yea you’re really “opposing oppression” by giving unlimited weapons to famously corrupt self avowed neo nazis because they happen to be opposed to your geopolitical ally. The really impressive cognitive dissonance is describing literally anything America has done in the last 80 years as “opposing oppression”.
You guys are the ones supporting press ganging 75 year olds and dropping them into the meat grinder so a bunch of pentagon consultants dont have to admit theyve been lying their ass off about every aspect of the war for years. How’s that for oppression.
Also love to accuse the other person of trying to use “might makes right” arguments while actively trying to build a military alliance to surround Russia with nukes while calling them the aggressor.
I always wonder if these people realize they would be violently opposed to the civil rights movement I’d they were alive then.
Why because they’re the only one not suggesting “Russia should abaondon their two year long successful military operataion because that’s what I, a whiny American liberal, want.”
“Why don’t they just continue to lie and break treaties and do whatever they want instead?” - deffinitly the good guys
That’s because you’re not middle class.
It’s incredible America somehow managed to convince an entire nation to gladly accept shit because they can label themselves “deffinitly not eating shit”
Thank you for starting off your comment by saying I’m advocating for Trump and letting anybody that isn’t blue Maga know you are a deeply unserious person.
I fucking hate Trump, my main critique of the dems is they’re incapable or more likely unwilling to meaningfully oppose them.
You are like a small child just lashing out and then retreating to simple absolutes like “if anybody criticizes liberals for any reason you don’t have to listen to them because they’re just big meany Trump supporters”
I wish that the logical conclusions of your political ideology that discards anybody who isnt immediatly useful would happen to you but since you’re a liberal I’m sure you’ll just keep smugly telling yourself everything is everybody else’s fault while stepping on the neck of the vulnerable you claim to care about.
I don’t have words to express my level of disdain for you.
Seriously if it turns out “genocide is bad” is a negotiable value if it’s too politically costly why should anybody believe you stand for anything.
You realize you’re literally taking political hostages right?
“Endorse my genocide of Palestinians or else the same thing could happen to you, other vulnerable minorities”
Great coalition building strategy you’ve got there.
They would literally, unironically, genuinely lose 100 times to republicans before they elect anybody who would appease anybody left of Clinton.
