The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.

context: in 2011, a freelance journalist 'accidentally' recorded a political stunt conversation between PM John Key and former ACT Party leader John Banks, which included jokes about how the voters for another party (NZ First) were dying off. In response, the police were sent to raid the four media organisations which had copies of the 'Teapot Tapes'

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

I agree with Latuff, the West should intervene in Nigeria to stop the massacres.

Canada's economy and government is was propped up by high oil prices that made Albertan tar sand profitable. Now it's no longer profitable and Canada's worst province and worst government are feeling the pain.

"Stick its face in the water and suck on its rear end in a top hat"

In that context, Obamacare is good for the horse but you have to do a gross thing to make it happen. My point?
None. I have no point. Unless funneling a shitload of tax money to insurance companies is like sucking on a horse's rear end in a top hat is a point.
Wait, no. I have no idea what the gently caress I'm talking about. Maybe I have a future in the ever expanding field of political cartooning.
Seriously, I could get me a couple Pulitzers.

So, how about this? Branco revisits this cartoon, but instead of simply shouting at the horse, he shoves a tube up its rear end to give it the water rectally. Thus making the point that "you all talk about torturing Muslims, but that's nothing compared to the real torture: Making Americans buy health insurance!" It's sort of a spiritual successor to the person getting crushed by the EPA regulations.

Um, why don't they just artificially inflate the prices? That's what most oil producers do every year: cheap in the winter, expensive in the summer.

It happens every single year.

In the USA, we'll probably be paying $5, or maybe $7 a gallon next summer. And then the government will penalize owners of hybrid or electric cars because they aren't paying the gas tax like everyone else.

It was hosed up when, because a white man looked at a black woman, a bunch of black people got together and beat him violently before hanging him from a tree, and local law enforcement went 'yep, good move y'all'.

Is that a common occurrence in the USA?

At least when South Africa ended apartheid, they didn't have that kind of problem.

Just curious what the thread's answer would be -- what course of action exactly would be the moral one for the West to take? We have determined that it's not "nothing" and it's not "military action," and all the other things I can think of off the top of my head (angry words, "raising awareness," throwing money at it, etc) would be various shades of ineffective.
