It's also mystifying that he went harder against Clinton than he did against Biden.

at some point in the late seventies or early eighties the new york state supreme court decided that just rifling through a dude's pockets, absent it being a search incident to arrest, was a constitutional violation. the next day one cop writes 'he dropped his baggie of grass on the ground, so I arrested him.' day two, two cops. by the end of the week every drug arrest read in the exact same way.

Tricky D posted:the 'federal government can't do anything right' people are the privatization ghouls. it's the same argument they use to justify selling off infrastructure and maintaining the current for-profit healthcare system. in this case, their motivation is to divert public education funds to private interests. there's really no reason to give these people the benefit of a doubt. I live around a lot of these people, which is why I'm making the point. You are reading way too much, or way too little into the motivations of people who have had different experiences than you with this system. When people - actual people, not talking head pundits or very opinionated twitter posters - around here talk about supporting private/charter/etc schools it's usually either about increasing the immediate access of their/other people's kids to quality educations, or it's about insuring their kids' educations don't get worse. There is a small minority of people, here, in Oklahoma, who support these systems purely because they funnel money into religious organizations, and I have met exactly three people since moving here in 2007 who have expressed the desire to have education money go purely to private corporations for philosophical reasons as you are expressing here. It is a phenomenally uncommon viewpoint among people who are not in the beltway or liberal america Their beliefs may not be correct but they have an understandable foundational basis and when related purely to local politics they are probably correct viewpoints for their families. If I had kids and could afford to send them to a charter school, I would not want the federal government to gently caress things up and put my kids into the 49th worst school system in the US. If I couldn't afford to send them to a charter school, I might be less amenable to systems that furthered privitization, but what I would probably actually want is vouchers to get my kids access to the better education system, because fixing the problems with public education here is gonna take a long time, and your kids need to go to school right now Mirthless has issued a correction as of 21:11 on Mar 15, 2021 |

the conversation was specifically about what neo-liberal pundits/posters are about. naturally, there are going to be people on the ground convinced by those arguments.

I mean there's kind of an argument to be made that concentrating products in this specific way is racist or opens the door to exploitative behaviors, and the black hair product industry is a perfect example of this Here's an industry full of bunk, wild rear end pre-segregation era science that espouses a lot of demonstrably false information to charge minorities significantly more for a "specialized" product that is not often significantly different than any mid-range conditioner, while simultaneously locking any haircare products produced by black owned businesses to a very small section of any store they are sold in, and the degree to which these marketing practices have set within pop culture insure that any company that tries to buck the practice gets labeled as impure and dangerous Look at what happened to shea moisture

I've been trying to organize my thoughts about how the far left seems to view outcomes as independent from process, and how "you can't get from here to there" is treated as a failure of imagination at best, and counterrevolutionary at worst, but sometimes there simply is no process that will achieve a certain outcome. For a hopefully uncontroversial example, there is no way to get North Korea to give up their nukes or their missiles now, because to do so would be to sign their own death warrant. Negotiations, sanctions, coercion nuclear war, Kim Jong Un isn't going to just roll over and die without putting up a fight. In summary his reaction to people telling him his political opinions would lead to shuffling money around publishers instead of building libraries is that actually it is nearly impossible to build a library

we've gone from "this thing that pretty much every other developed nation on earth accomplished decades ago is a completely impossible pipe dream" to "this thing that our own nation accomplished centuries ago is a completely impossible pipe dream" would I be using the term "learned helplessness" correctly if I applied it here because it seems accurate!
