  • Did they, though?

    A handful of them have spines. The guys pictured in the article are purely cartilaginous at best.

  • Very poorly. I ruminate on them for literally decades and have frequent anxiety attacks. I'm working on it, though. I've begun studying & practicing Buddhism and have found it very helpful.

  • Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. But with Tylenol, don't take it.

  • For anyone who needs the joke explained: Arlington Cemetery, graveyard for US soldiers who died while on active duty (i.e. in war) or who earned certain military honors.

    So a lot of the folks buried there died killing Nazis given that ~400k US soldiers died fighting fascists so that 80 years later their descendants and compatriots could live in an openly fascist dictatorship.

  • In the US, yes. It was more common before the mid-2010s when the r-slur was very commonly used.

  • It's annoying to explain

    Because it's actually quite simple

    So listen carefully

    Because I'll only say it once

    If you're anti-antifa

    you're fa

    You can say what you want

    But that's the truth

    And I wish

    I didn't have to constantly be against something

    But how is that supposed to work with all these goddamn

    Nazi pigs?

    And if it annoys you to hear that, it's not my problem

    It's your problem

    It's not hard to understand

    I could take care of beautiful things

    We could take care of beautiful things

    Instead, we have to take care of this scum

    If you're anti-antifa

    you're fa

    You can say what you want

    But that's the truth

    And I wish

    I didn't have to be against something all the time

    But how is that supposed to work

    With all the goddamn Nazi pigs?

    How?

    How?

    How is that supposed to work, please?

  • It's like something off the eric andre show lol

  • Could also be Belted Galloway. Look pretty much identical, but Dutch Belted are dairy and Belted Galloway are beef cattle

  • AOC would make an amazing VP pick. Could bring a lot of energy to a campaign and get youth/working class support. Then transition that into a presidential campaign later on.

  • I think it's important to frame this kind of argument very carefully. There is a misconception that communists and socialists just don't want to work and want a free ride.

    Communists, socialists, and anarchists are fine with work. They are not fine with exploitation. Work is not necessarily exploitive. Work should be rewarded and incentivized.

    But, in a civilized society, your ability to merely survive should not be dependent on your ability or willingness to work. That doesn't mean that the quality of life of someone who chooses not to work should be the same as someone who chooses to work. It only means that choosing not to work should not be a death sentence.

    How any particular society may choose to implement such a system of non-exploitative, minimally coercive work may vary. But the main point is giving people more control over their work, their working conditions, and their lives generally.

    "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" still applies. You're just more likely to also get the things you want if you do valuable labor.

    Edit: another point. I'd argue that leftists are MORE okay with work than capitalism enjoyers because they do not want people to be paid for simply owning things and not doing labor. The goal of capitalism - how to win capitalism - is to just own things and exploit others' labor, not to work. How to win Socialism is doing the job you enjoy/are best at/are most willing to do for the reward offered - that's it. Simple as.

  • Ad hominem fallacy. The person who has been exposed for various things, instead of trying to refute the argument of the accuser (e.g. "they're misrepresenting the facts", "I couldn't have done that here's an alibi")

    ... they just make their own accusations to make others mistrust their accuser. All of the examples you listed were ad hominem attacks against your friend.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

    Some liberals, who call themselves classical liberals, fiscal conservatives, or libertarians, endorse fundamental liberal ideals but diverge from modern liberal thought on the grounds that economic freedom is more important than social equality.[35] Consequently, the ideas of individualism and laissez-faire economics previously associated with classical liberalism are key components of modern American conservatism and movement conservatism, and became the basis for the emerging school of modern American libertarian thought.[36]

  • They are most certainly liberals. I do not mean Democrats. I mean Liberals. American "Libertarians" are big L Liberals.

  • Shit, thanks. Corrected
