The justification for gutting Dresden was that a lot of roads went through it or something, I think they just really wanted to kill people

ever since the invention of the bomber, wealthy democracies have dreamt of being able to win wars with bombers alone, without having to send in ground troops to face the terrors of war (and then come back home and vote against more wars). the excuse changes from time to time, but the goal is always the same - bomb a country into submission, and if that doesn't work, bomb it more

in 1949, Truman essentially scrapped the Navy and Marines, gutted the Army, and put most of the US military funding into the Air Force because the US would never fight a conventional battle again: all future wars would be won exclusively by strategic bombers dropping nuclear weapons on the Soviets our enemy, so the US didn't need conventional military forces anymore

then the Korean War happened a few months later

anime is for jerks because only jerks by anime.

under a socialist system, anime would not be made strictly to whims of redpill ancaps with a questionable sense of fashion and even more dubious concepts of personal hygiene and consent laws so plots will revolve around people, places, and things other than 9000 demons taking the form of eight year old girls

anime is a perfect example of how the commodity form ruins art

There's a manga version of Kanikosen, which is a best-selling Japanese Marxist novel about a worker's revolt on a crab boat.

and it makes the job for those of us trying to win elections for democrats in rural areas all the harder, which apparently is all right because this is a party that doesn't seem all that eager to win.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

lol @ this thing

Am I reading this right? Does this "progressive scorecard" really start out by using a "control group" of "these senators are progressive by our definition" and rating which senators are the most like the group?

Theorem: Kamala Harris is a progressive
Proof: We'll start out by assuming Cory Booker, among others, is progressive

There's no word for leftist that centrists won't eventually try to label themselves with short of "socialist", so I think we're on a euphemism treadmill

it's almost as if confronting the suburbanite gop base means confronting associates and coworkers in a way that takes some actual conviction as opposed to cowardly cheering on policies intended to cull people who have far less to do with right-wing evil than the fat middle-manager who can't bring himself to use an indoor voice or pay for his employees' birth control

yes

it's run by a "social entrepreneur" whose sole achievement in life appears to have been co-founding an eco-friendly paper company nineteen years ago and then somehow getting fired from it within a year

the sum total of his political involvement appears to be donating money to Dems and running a superPAC that channels donor money to Dems

:agreed: The left that wants medicare for all, racial justice, economic justice, and to transform society into something capable of addressing climate change should just let the establishment have the progressive label and embrace the word socialist. We should be proud of it and stop being afraid of what we are.
