That’s a much softer message than putting human rights at the center.

When a capitalist talks to you about human rights, it means they have nothing to offer on the table -Xi, probably

LastInLine posted:The fact that the dems need a data scientist to inform their position on something that should be determined by morality and values tells you everything you need to know about the democrats 1. republicans and fox news start ranting about gay marriage/ trans people/ mexicans 2. republican voters get angry about whatever tucker is outraged about this election 3. dem data scientists poll voters and find out that republican voters are angry and passionate about whatever tucker told them to be angry and passionate about 4. dems move towards this new position to win over republican voters see, you crazy folks saying the dems are deliberately following the republicans rightward are all wrong. it's very objective and scientific. They're just following the data.

Is Hedges actually a partisan or is he someone who has been exiled from Western platforms and took advantage of a foreign power's offer of a soap box. Hedges critiques of a deeply decayed America that is losing grip of it's imperium appeals to Muscovy, true, but his arguments and writings stand on their own merits. He has largely shared the same perspective since 2008: Democrats are incapable of reform, christian Fascists will seize power after a series of military/economic/political crises at home. He's worth listening to for calling long term trends alone.

lolquote:TUESDAY, June 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new rule that would require tobacco companies to slash nicotine levels in cigarettes could be issued Tuesday by the Biden administration. Not that one should defend cigarettes, exactly, but they will take every pleasure you could possibly get in this hellworld from you Also obviously smokers will respond by smoking more cigarettes and therefore having more shots at getting cancer

Maybe I'm wrong, then. Is it just not connected? As an ex-smoker I just assume that's how I'd have reacted if I were still smoking and something like that happened
