Wraith of J.O.I. posted:man the ~cultural appropriation~ discourse doesn't have the juice it used to — and thank god, those were some of the dumbest and most convoluted args ever argged my favorite claim of cultural appropriation ever was when I was looking at a seattle reddit after moving here and some "seattle native" white guy was whining about people moving in for tech jobs and then wearing flannel during winter.

like you respect the culture enough to go out of your way and construct a tandoor in your backyard as a fun weekend activity with your kids. I really hope you and your family enjoyed eating it even though it doesn't look restaurant level.

https://twitter.com/compactmag_/status/1644276183062781956quote:For better or for worse, American presidents have been shielded from prosecution. The downside of this is that our leaders haven’t faced consequences for their crimes, despite having done far worse than Trump. But the upside is that political struggles are confined to the realm of politics and electioneering, and the justice system is protected from contamination by partisan vendettas. The American judiciary, for all its faults, is often the last protection people have against the overreach of permanent state bureaucracies and corporate power. With the Trump arrest, we have crossed a dangerous threshold.

The law gets weaponized all the time to prosecute specific people in biased ways to pursue ideological ends, so having someone above the law is useful if they're acting in a way that opposes special interests, like imperialism

He's as bad as any American president and the fact that other presidents have gotten away with their crimes doesn't mean Trump should too.

He's as bad as any American president and the fact that other presidents have gotten away with their crimes doesn't mean Trump should too. quote:By early summer 2017, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had become so worried that they held a meeting with Trump at the Pentagon at which they attempted to explain how America’s informal empire functions. Trump didn’t dig the presentation. Calling his generals “dopes and babies” and “losers,” he demanded to know why the United States wasn’t receiving free oil from the Middle East. “We spent $7 trillion; they’re ripping us off.… Where is the loving oil?” After the meeting, Trump continued to take an executive-branch-sized hammer to the elaborate political, diplomatic, economic, and military architecture of US global hegemony. Parenti's right

the author isn't trying to claim that trump is some ideological anti-imperialist, but that he has no understanding of how imperialism actually works. to him bringing the boys home from overseas, ending the TPP, etc, is just old fashioned partisan politics because he's kinda an idiot.

I would support Trump's prosecution for war crimes but do not for this obviously politically motivated hatchet job.

because he will never face even remotely proportional consequences I don't particularly care what Trump is prosecuted for as long as it annoys him, which this very clearly does

Including "Savings" into expenses is some big brain poo poo, though, having 1.9k a month "left over" is more than some people get paid monthly.

The maths is the only thing right in that post though Turns out after I deduct all of my expenses and savings from my wages there's comparatively little money left.
