I love that her "checkmate, libs" response to democratic socialism or liberal spending is telling the people who disagree with her to voluntarily start paying 90% taxes. Because 1: that's actually what would be required and 2: simply gifting 90% of your income to the government right now would mean it gets spent on social welfare programs or infrastructure.

Also invoking the sage wisdom of Margaret Thatcher, someone who truly appeals to the sensibilities of the youth and middle-aged these days.

She also refused to even acknowledge that Scandinavia is pretty much completely socialist and instead focused in Cuba, Venezuela, etc instead of trying to argue in good faith. Why do they even have her on the show? Conservatism is just selfishness politicized imo

It's because his lawyer recorded a conversation between said lawyer and a client (Trump). Probably. I don't even know anymore.

Cohen recorded conversations with everyone. Everyone knew he recorded all his conversations. People would deliberately try to catch him walking somewhere to avoid recording because he was known for recording people constantly. It's entirely posturing.

So this is a bit different than the usual Trump talk, but last night I decided to catch up on Frontline (excellent documentary series produced by PBS) and saw one about the Myanmar rohingya genocide, which I (and probably eveyone else) is really ignorant about.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/myanmars-killing-fields/

All I have to say is, holy gently caress :stare: the poo poo the Myanmar military is doing to the villages is ISIS levels of savagery. It's amazing what this documentary has uncovered, the video, the satellite images, the first person interviews - the know the names of actual commanders committing mass-murder. There are stories, collaborated by surviving eye witness and video of soldiers marching into a village, and slitting the throats of every man and child that they find. Sadly, because no one seems to give a poo poo, nothing will be done about it. The US COULD play a roll in using the United Nations as a platform to pressure the Myanmar government to knock it off, or face sanctions and international isolation again. Of course, we are under the glorious leadership of the Donald J. Trump administration so lol to democracy and accountability anywhere.

Also Aung San Suu Kyi is NOT the free-loving democratic leader we thought she was because she is very much apart of this Genocide.

There are also a few threads in the Travel subforum where goons were asking about visiting Myanmar, but honestly I would say boycott the country until they, you know, stop committing mass-murder.

Sadly, I think this is a major reason why. I brought this up with a few of my SEA friends and they all refuse to believe it. Buddhist are incapable of committing mass murder it's just lies to make them look bad :downs: is the answer I get.

If history has taught us anything it's that there are no uniquely lovely humans. We are all capable of being mass-murdering douchebags no matter the religion/race/sexual orientation/ whatever. But for many people that unless you are a literal Nazi or a Muslim then how can you be committing genocide? Because in the western mass media those are the only two groups we see doing it. Everyone else is a victim.

I listened to a 30-45 minute podcast on the cleansing going on in Myanmar last year, and it truly is horrific stuff. Soldiers showing up and killing all the kids, throwing babies into bonfires, sometimes raping the adolescent/teen girls, then once everyone's had a turn, killing them on the spot. Survivors tended to escape either by simply fleeing to the jungle immediately, without having time to take any belongings or help family or sometimes playing dead among bodies.

In some cases, these massacres had some plausible deniability using paramilitary or troops out of uniform. Other times clearly marked military vehicles and helicopters showed up.

lol "Every democratic socialist needs to start paying 90% of their income to taxes!" I love it when these idiots try to make people think that 90% of their income is going to get taxed when the reality is anything but that. Hell, my father-in-law kept telling me he wanted a flat tax rate and when I had him explain to me what he thought a flat tax rate was, he proceeded to define a progressive tax rate.
