if some african country supposedly enslaved by chinese debt actually told the chinese to gently caress off and they're not paying, then what could the chinese do about it? it's not like they have command of the high seas to do gunboat diplomacy or maintain supply lines for some far-flung colonial invasion, unlike actual historical and current imperial powers the best they seem to be able to do is keep bases in places that let them

"Vulnerable and marginal communities"

Wanna go ahead and explain who that is for all the rest of us here? Kinda curious who you think deserve to live as the rest of us die from a disease the government has let run rampant in the name of the capitalistic order. I'm a downwardly-mobile, formerly middle-class by upbringing, bisexual, disabled white male. Do I get it? Can I swap one of the components of identity out to raise my perceived value to you? Do I get to live, or do I have to die because of things outside of my control just to appease your belief that some people DESERVE a vaccination from a potentially-deadly-or-maiming disease more than I?

if you swapped the "annoying" and "whiny" components of your identity out, it couldn't hurt your chances

The 'young leftist who supported John Kerry 2004' to 'apologist for the bombings of Middle-Easterners and also the calloused eliminationist policies that lead to tens of thousands of the elderly dying' pipeline strikes again. When will the dastardly Kerry Kidz cease with this madness?

neoliberals want people to be like sharks, always moving, never stopping, just a river of humans constantly churning all over the world, like something out of a nightmare
except for the rich of course, our benevolent overlords get to have a community

he's saying that the free market has failed to build enough apartments and the government should step in

not that he seems to realize he's saying that

why on earth would "people stay in their apartments instead of moving constantly" be a bad thing?? I used to move every year and it sucked, right now I've lived in the same apartment for years and it rules.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
