Being critAI is being proAI.

China has HOAs…

Lots of people here probably don’t deal with poor people on the regular so they don’t understand. Once I talked to a 40 year old homeless man on a train ride home and he was talking about enlisting. His options were very bleak.

They keep the masses poor and dumb so that they volunteer to play stupid games.

Or parents with strollers.

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

If you want to insist on reframing what you said, while undermining your larger point, go ahead. But i would like to know what exactly it is you were trying to say by making the comparison.

Here’s hoping humiliation will deliver the lessons to the illiterate, as they are unable to understand their own words.

Iran’s military is basically the same as China’s: they supplied the armaments to begin with.

Nuance is when you say Iran is China’s peer in terms of military power? Sure thing bud

More like “How could they win a fight when they can’t handle someone smaller who punches back”

Strike with what? We can’t even protect our bases from Iran

It’s what follows the signifiers that’s the tell

I would be willing to bet my house that he would never do it. Once trump is out the establishment dems will trip over themselves (and dead kids in Gaza) to restore decorum

Yes, using the word “capitalism” is a signifier, but I wouldn’t say it’s counterproductive. Based on a person’s response you can quickly conclude whether they have the historical context to understand the critique. Defining capitalism as “a market-based” system is ahistorical , markets existed before capitalism. It is very hard to surface the critique while also writing a wall of text that describes how capitalism came to be and how it was later moderated

Remember when the Dems forced a shutdown and got nothing from it?

The issue is the term is meaningless if it isn’t grounded in history. If it simply means “the system you live in” then it says nothing of how it came to be and what can come after.

And if we had universal healthcare it would actually be cheaper to produce those cars. Canada is proof of this.

These chuds probably think it’s straight if they are fucking a man who is trans. So you might be on the money for this one
