  • To follow up on this, you're right. I checked into it. That picture is fake, generated or photoshopped or something, but he does all his own stunts and does not use stunt doubles, so I was mistaken and misled :)

  • Biden pardons thousands of US veterans convicted under law banning gay sex
  • It was a way to not deal with the issue directly, and to give members of the LGBTQ+ community an option to hide who they are and not receive punishment. But it in no way protected them. It was sold as a "compromise", but was actually a thinly veiled way to continue to suppress the community and enact harsh penalties and convictions for anyone who didn't follow the protocol.

  • Biden pardons thousands of US veterans convicted under law banning gay sex
  • lol at the 6 (at the time of writing this) trump supporters that downvoted you and are cool with trump pardoning convicted killers, his own sycophants that were convicted of federal crimes, and people that gave him bribes for his presidential pardons at the 11th hour; but not cool with pardoning people wrongfully convicted of a bigoted piece of propaganda turned law with "Don't ask, Don't Tell".

  • Only The Best Groomers
  • So, they were attacking other religious sects and churches that were different than their specific version of Christianity?

    That sounds like Christianity to me.

    Just because it wasn't the form of Christianity we recognize today, doesn't mean it wasn't a valid religious movement. Sure, it specifically helped the Nazi party, but all the pieces of the puzzle to create their christo-fascist state were there for them to put together.

    And they used Christianity to do it. Saying otherwise is being disingenuous and revisionist. They espoused Christianity. They espoused the teachings of Jesus. They claimed moral superiority just like every other religion does.

    Sure, they used it to attack other religions to set theirs up as the state religion, but that doesn't make it less like Christianity. Just a form that doesn't exist today.

    Repressing other religions is a cornerstone of most religions, including Christianity. To say otherwise is invoking apologetics.

  • Protestation
  • This is the correct answer. Anyone that disagrees should go read the communist manifesto and come back to see if they still disagree.

    The issues are with his solutions. He correctly calls out all the issues with capitalism. Just nails them.

    But his ideas about how to solve it by abolishing land rights and the entire inheritance system is problematic, as the OP says.

    Not that it couldn't work in a vacuum, but it's not a realistic solution to our problem.

    A much more well considered approach of proposed solutions can be found in the book: Utopia for realists.

  • They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :(
  • I presume, like everything else wrong with Capitalism, it comes down to cost. It's more cost efficient somehow. I don't understand the details, because I'm not a chicken farmer, but I have been in the capitalism machine for a long, long time, and I'd bet a shitton of tax payer money that it's purely down to cost.

    If it saves $0.02 per chicken, they'll gladly poison the rivers, oceans, lakes, etc. with refuse and baby chick corpses.

  • WANNABE DICTATOR Trump Demands that All Business Execs Be FIRED If They're Not 100% Behind Trump
  • Yes, but he's acting as a rallying flag to drive the alt-right together, normalizing their behavior and bringing it out into the open instead of dog whistling.

    Without him, they have no lightning rod to travel towards as a coordinated group.
