Conservatives like it when arab people die so they need no justification, and the president had a D next to his name at the time, which is all the justification that liberals need.

The only good thing about the Economist is that it's kinda funny to see a magazine where the op-eds are not only completely divorced from the actual reporting but obviously contradictory to it.

On the other side of the war the Japanese army and navy were so violently (literally) opposed to each other that they independently invented radar

Skellybones posted:

The Navy had its own army and the Army had its own navy (including aircraft carriers), they hated each other that much

Naturally they both had their own exclusive designs for everything

It's not super unusual to have the military become a state within the state, but Imperial Japan is the only country I've ever heard of where the military managed to become two states within the state.

I read that apparently they did soak themselves in lighter fluid afterwards according to some accounts, but it's still true, the cops are to blame for starting the fire that killed a bunch of kids in both cases, and it's lovely that you'd basically absolve them of it because one group had the wrong ideology, and it's exactly the kind of reasoning libs use to justify supporting police violence.

I trolled a petty CEO into deleting his slashdot account. He Kramered into a discussion leading with how he was upset at the idea people are saying that employees are the ones who do work in a business, and then when pressed said the fact that he signed the government forms and took out the loans was why he deserved all the credit.

He did NOT like being told that meant his position was given to him by the government, and his only skill was spending other people's money.

is it really trolling when you're just telling the truth?

I think prior to Covid it was easy to argue that Trump was no worse than the rest of the modern US presidents, he just has the mask off.

I find that argument harder to swallow in the last 6 months, though. Its hard to imagine anyone else bungling the covid response as bad as he has, for as long as he has. Regardless of malice, other US presidents had better self-preservation instincts, and would've been more effective out of the simple urge to stay in power. If Trump loses in November, its 100% going to be because he got a quarter million Americans killed by being an incredible dumbshit.

Reagan sat on his hands about AIDS, but AIDS wasnt killing people this fast, and, importantly, AIDS wasnt killing folks who were likely to vote Reagan.

is this some d&d copypasta or are you admitting that you don't see people outside the us as actual human beings?

The race was won on such tight margins that anything that negatively impacted clinton "tipped things in trumps favor". So Comey did it, and her bad campaign strategy did it, and her public fainting did it, and sexism did it, and her dumb deplorables comment did it, and her lack of charisma did it, etc etc.

if you lose an extremely tight race and you made clear mistakes then those are what caused you to lose because that's what you had control over
