Wullie's reign cannae smother the flames o' equality!

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:

I know a dude who is a serious public health scholar and he says all available research points to Americans being against socialized healthcare because black people would get it. So no, not doable.

Are "Americans" against socialized healthcare for this reason or just "White Americans"?

Cus p sure it's going to be the latter and the solution is to kill all white Americans.

whats the fuckin deal with jacobin lol

are they like mad magazine for tankies or something

the deal is they'll basically publish anything written by anyone who calls themself a socialist, so occasionally they have good articles but most of the time they're just publishing garbage hot takes by stupid members of the soft left

the London Review of Books is pretty good if you want your political analysis to alternate with lengthy essays about art and dead philosophers

It’s controversial and I came down mildly on the side of the betied lad. Assume his parents are still financing it and people do write for it.

Yeah it was definitely more complicated than just union busting given that it was financed primarily off his allowance, but still apply the same logic to any other business kept afloat by rich parents and it becomes pretty clear that he was just being a petty tyrant like any other rich kid

iirc the current affairs shitshow was even more funny because they were already unionized and fancy lad could not, in fact, actually fire anyone. they wanted to turn it into a coop and he wanted to retain editorial control and threw a fit
