The security council was a mistake

China getting ready to walk on the moon, while Americans argue whether vaccines actually work and whether minorities are human.

Isn’t that one of the reasons Stalin died so miserably ? People were so afraid of frustrating/angering him that they just never challenged anything he did or he said, even his doctors, for fear of reprisal.

It’s a projected image, not an engraving, not a painting.

Getting arrested for projecting a photo of two pedophiles. That’s definitely freedom of speech right there

Bah non justement, ça n’a pas de conséquences pour eux malheureusement. Et c’est pour ça que ça continue et que ça empire mois après mois…

What the fuck

That’s a consequence and a symptom, not the cause. The people manufacturing the consent and the one being manipulated into it are different groups of people. One is choosing and consenting, the other ones are more victims than anything else. It doesn’t excuse the heinous shit some of them do or believe, but it explains it.

They can’t enjoy it because they don’t know it’s happening, that’s literally why it’s called manufactured consent. It’s not real consent.

You forgot the massive part played by manufactured consent. Attacking education and massively buying mass media, makes it that elections become what they are now. An illusion of choice. Freedom of information is a central pillar of democracy, you can’t make educated choices if you’re not educated.

Rights are seldom acquired by asking nicely. We should be there as a civilization, but the imaginary numbers on the screens of 300 people are more important

A right wing nutjob, killed by the follower of a right wing nutjob, who thinks that the first right wing nutjob was not right wing enough and that he deserved to die because of it. That damned radical left!

Sarcasme j’espère… Sinon, oui, la fameuse extrême gauche qui écrit pour Libération ou qui dirige les Etats Unis

The problem with straight cut statements like “autistic people don’t understand social cues” is that, it really depends on many many things. Like your environment growing up, your personality, your culture, etc. It’s a generic statement with layers upon layers of nuance.

Personally, I realized that people and social cues don’t make sense to me, most of the time, like they were born with a manual I never got.
But then, growing up, you start catching up things and build on that. To me, the autistic thing about it, is that it’s a conscious effort to understand and try to make sense of it.

You’re right, my bad !

Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the Jews Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

Like someone else said, Kirk getting shot in the throat, in a school, possibly by a republican, while ranting about minorities, gang violence and trans people, is peak irony

His carotid just did that, he could have prevented it if he really didn’t want it to!

And lobbying hard to keep regulations out of their way

I mean, that’s very likely. And at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a false flag either
