Someone who has a hosed up enough mind to say "It's not our role to second guess how our officers operate when they are protecting the community" probably shouldn't have a role where their only job is to second guess how our officers operate when they are protecting the community

Chamseddine is genuinely a great and justice oriented writer, though, and SMH regularly publishing a poverty oriented Arab Marxist Texan is dope as gently caress

The only good argument against UBI is that it would be means tested by a government that keeps proposing piss tests for welfare recipients

Zenithe posted:Hypothetically, how could you even take over Australia if you wanted to today through force? When has that been pulled off in any country lately? "Take over" doesn't really seem like the result or intended goal in any American excursions, just a very successful flourishing destruction industry, flattening non-hegemonal bodies. It's not like Libya was ever intended to be state 51 How'd Georgia and Ukraine go for Russia? I honestly haven't kept track of either post invasion

KennyTheFish posted:I don't really agree with all of this. A large part of the liberal party genuinely believes in the just world. They believe that welfare is enabling and getting rid of it will help people. They believe that government is inherently bad at everything. Get up close to them when they feel safe with a few drinks and it is a frightening look into the abyss. Yeah, it's a propoganda riddled rabble of griftees cum grifters, they internalised the cynical panic when they heard it as kids, and troop whole heatedly for it now e: not all of them, obviously, but graduated Young Lib freaks who have photo ops with Jordan b.

ewe2 posted:I think we're both right, There are those who cynically use this to better their careers, and at the same time they can also believe in their just world. It's part ideology and disconnection. People who genuinely believe they're a better kind of person and want to protect their privilege do not doubt that what they're doing is best, after all, the only people who disagree must be lefties. None of this is a contradiction to them, why else would they be able to grab power if they weren't meant to? You suck so much poo poo at posting I can't tell whether you want to correct or kill the poor
