Sometime I'm sad that I don't have Twitter because I have a succinct reply. But that's foolishness.

Anyhow, the reply is that Americans were dubbed a people post hoc too.

Also I must have missed the part in Marx where 'controlling the press' is a fundamental principle of Communism.

I want to seize all the means of production, except for printing presses. The capitalists will get to keep running the media after the revolution.

Both those takes are pretty trash.

Here's hot take on the 17-year US occupation of Afghanistan.

Ex-nationalreview author talks with Manhatten Institute conservative who thinks

quote:

Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer
and

quote:

In a 2018 talk given at Hillsdale College, Mac Donald criticized the "#meToo" social media movement, arguing that it was the latest in a long line of leftist victimhood culture "frenzies." When asked by an audience member whether women who wear revealing bathing suits should share fault with their aggressors in cases of sexual assault, Mac Donald responded: “What you just did would be referred to as slut shaming... Good for you, because sluts should be shamed as far as I am concerned
and

quote:

She has said that the Abu Ghraib prison scandal's fallout was overblown and that opponents of then-President Bush used it to construct an exaggerated "master narrative"; she said that Abu Ghraib was "torture lite" compared with more brutal atrocities such as those of Pol Pot. She defended using torture as an interrogation technique as being necessary in selected circumstances

Thing B is worse than Thing A so you can't cast criticisms at it.

This is why seizing the funds of the rich can't be railed against, because it's far less bad than giving them the guillotine

Note: To calculate your income percentile, the web tool we used in this article uses 2008 statistics from the World Bank, and compares your income to the entire world population (6.69 billion people). To calculate your wealth percentile, the web tool uses 2012 estimates from Credit Suisse, and ranks you against the adult population of the world (4.59 billion people). Because the latter only ranks you against the adult population and uses more recent data, the wealth percentile is more accurate than the income percentile. For currency conversion the web tool uses dollars adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (to take into account the differences in the cost of living between different countries).

I read the fountainhead when I was 15 because a girl i had a crush on said it was interesting and it was (at 15) but then I thought about it again a few years later and realized the protagonist meets his love interest by breaking into her house and raping her and also he's a terrorist who dynamites a public housing tower because they put in closets and balconies for the poor
