Everything is the most or the least of something, even or especially if it doesn't make sense for a given metric. Someone probably told him "before socialism, Venezuela was rich in natural resources" and his wormy brain turns it into "Venezuela is the wealthiest country of all-time".

Binary thinking. Classic response from a narcissist/borderline.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

C'mon, that's literally Maduro's state-owned propaganda network.

to be fair, there were different attitudes towards how race worked in the different colonial empires in the americas

the british/americans generally held to the one drop rule, and disliked 'race mixing'. if you weren't white, then you were black

the spanish were typically more aware of and accepting of race mixing, but they (and the french) had like a hundred different words to figure out exactly how black/white you are. it still mattered, and whiter was better of course, but there was an acknowledgement of the varieties of people's ancestry




Casta paintings like this were their own genre that people used to categorize others on their African/American/European genealogy.

That's definitely Trump's rotten brain hearing that Venezuela was the wealthiest Latin American country and then warping it around a lot.

Possibly stupid question, but I have looked around before asking: is there a general feminism thread on the forums? I have a friend who keeps talking about radfem vs libfem, and I'd like to know if there's somewhere i can go to get up to date and not sound like an idiot. I'd rather not try to discuss anything based on what little I remember from college.

I really don't like/trust anything political off of SA, as it tends to be full of trolls/shitheads.

No as they have all crashed and burned for various reasons such as Zeitgeist, a white man, being the OP of one of them. Once How High the Moon left the forums and Ozma was no longer an admin there has not been any one willing to be the OP or manage it.

Of course all three judges are Republican chuds; one being appointed by Saint Ronnie himself, and one being Donnie's pick

My proposal for the Middle East is to give the Palestinians to Canada and send the Israelis to Australia then glass that area or turn it into an amusement park/museum called Holy Land and the profits from tickets sold will go to charitable causes. We would have Jesus’ Cave of Wonder, The Red Sea run where you have to get through parted water before it caved on you, etc.

Can anyone find additional details about this? One of the only real concrete paragraphs I can find is: The Trump administration also proposes simplifying the student loan system and says Congress "should consolidate the five income-driven repayment options into one simple plan that caps monthly payment at 12.5 percent of a borrower’s discretionary income," and "should extend loan forgiveness to all undergraduate students (after 180 months of repayment through an income-driven repayment plan).

The bolded part is a pretty good step forwards imo but I don't know if the 12.5% cap is higher or lower than it was before

We could even have characters of all the religious deities have a parade around the park before engaging in a “Medieval Times” style dinner tournament where they’ll beat each other senseless to determine the realest religion.

Most of the plans cap at 10% of discretionary income and forgive after 240 months. It's just adjusting the terms of our indentured servitude.

As they've come up with new plans, the numbers have been approaching this. I think it's a good idea. Better idea would be moving to 120 payments but what can you do?
