“Exclusive new brands like Cat & Jack in kids clothing, Pillowfort in homewares, and Cloud Island in baby have all performed well,” Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData, said in a note to investors. “Not only are these brands credible and compelling, but they are also helping to differentiate Target from rivals.”

perhaps even more concerning is the number of people who in their own minds conflate nazi with redcap to the point that they feel the need to jump unbidden into a discussion about unambiguously self-identified nazis (e.g., those waving flags and chanting 'blood and soil' in cville) and bring up the pearl clutching spectre of OH BUT WAIT GUYS WHY WOULD YOU ASSUME TRUMP = NAZI IF YOU ADVOCATE VIOLENCE YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HURT A BUNCH OF GOOD PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT BE NAZIS TECHNICALLY

really loving hard to do when the entire presidency is based on white supremacist racial hatred that the president himself endorses and almost certainly believes in

I agree that "nazi" is an imprecise, even incorrect word to use, but it is such a convenient shorthand

seriously its not only letting them off scott free for their complicity but also patronizing and sexist to assume the blonde fox ladies are naive, unwitting accomplices rather than active participants in what they do

let us dispel with the notion that blonde fox lady doesn't know what she's doing, blonde fox lady knows exactly what she's doing

similarly dispel the notion that the way agarafahjajang decided to post that moderated & more nuanced opinion is something to be celebrated or emulated

it was a gross post *solemnly lowers and/or raises display brightness*

e: i'm saying what you said was w/ ~~~more decorum~~~ but also more nuanced but sentence structure is hard

the Durham one at least was built in 1924 not the sixties though??

I hadn't really looked into it but, that monument was also a generic monument to confederate soldiers; not depicting some grandiose alleged hero of the war. It was erected 60 years after the war. It's still problematic since it's a memorial to people who fought in support of a bad cause.

its problematic because it was built at the height of kkk resurgence as a gently caress you to anybody who had anything to say about that

thinking about the china trade issue now

I really can't believe TPP almost passed, what a loving disaster that would have been


china's entire modus operandi is to welcome as much american trade as possible, use american money and engineering to grow their own businesses, then start ripping us off and bootlegging everything to choke out the american market and profit as hard as possible. most chinese companies have zero semblance of business ethics

imagine how bad it got in america re post-civil-war capitalistic exploitation, then multiply that by about five and you have china. it's really not a good thing for the rest of the world if they become the sole economic hegemon in a few decades

edit: I am completely wrong about TPP

errrr TPP excluded China and the whole point of it was to create a trade zone that forces China to conform to US set standards on IP

like there's plenty of legit complaints about TPP but China isn't one of them

they're right about having a conversation even though it's uncomfortable so if it triggers you, sorry republicans but not sorry, it's time to address that this is not okay and that there needs to be some considerable changes towards that animosity we're seeing here because if our president, excuse me, our furher has not been able to want to quell this surge we're seeing here, because he's a sad dopey sack who couldn't sell his act again since he's a low energy fat gently caress, we may have a domestic terror issue here with more strong willed authoritarians standing up without police intervention to de-escalate the situation. Charlotteville is one of those police failures honestly, and it needs to be addressed by not militarizing the police thank you very much fascist. We also need better legislature and more expedient government action and since you are not doing that duty, perhaps other americans can do what you have failed to do?
