Justin Truedeau and Ralph Northam are both white dudes who got caught doing Blackface multiple times and nothing will happen to them. Gov. Cuomo dropped a Hard R n today and will be fine. Weird!

cuomo didn't "drop a hard R", he used it in the context of racial prejudice against italians

i grew up in a trailer park and went to community college after floating around aimlessly until i was 24, now i'm in grad school but everyone around me is clearly from a higher upbringing and it's hard to relate. i dropped out of my first grad program because it was even worse in this respect and i went instead to a group at my undergrad because at least i didn't feel so intimidated there. i just wanted a job after grad school instead of having professors think of me as being lesser than dirt for not wanting to be an academic

now having been wedded to posting in the trump era it makes me feel like i'm a traitor for being in grad school but at this point i'm so deep in from undergrad debt idk what else to do. have to basically rely on getting a 100k offer after i'm done or else i'll never be able to afford the loan repayments (wild how even getting the full pell grant and going to a public school in undergrad means you still need to take a shitload of debt on)

Can’t copy the tweet because he blocked me for calling him out. But Noah Berlatsky was being racist to Sunkara for doubting his “all whites irredeemable” schtik.

what the hell do people who imply this "if you're white you're irredeemable scum" think is going to happen by saying this

do they think a white person is going to hear that and just, idk, lay down and die or something? if you're going to constantly tell someone by virtue of their skin color they are beyond redemption and poisonous to the political sphere what do you expect them to do

citations needed is mostly good when it comes to foreign intervention and episodes focusing on economic injustice, but some of their episodes focusing on identity are very lib and, dare i say, race reductionist. sometimes they do tend to get hung up on hasty generalizations even in the face of bringing up specific counterexamples. the episode today on automation where it puts most of the blame on foreign trade moving jobs to lower wage countries, which is true in some sectors but incomplete given how manufacturing in the US is still a very huge industry, albeit with far fewer workers than in the past because of...automation.

their mike rowe and john stossel eps were excellent though

there were some pretty “yikes” takes from the meanstv guy on one of the latest street fight premium eps

it brought up the lols of socialism/communism being subsumed into yet another brand by capitalism’s seemingly infinite adaptability

i was expecting that episode to be about their experiences with small business tyrants but no it was just some people discussing running a small business and it's like, come on you want to pretend to be anti-capitalists while talking about running a business. i signed up for shocktober and i'm going to one of their live shows because it's like a 20 minute walk from my place but idk how to feel about their podcast if it's stuff like that

of all of the many crimes trump has done in office, blatantly profiting off his presidency, why are they focusing on a loving phone call to a shithole eastern european country

they either think this is, or want this to be, russiagate v2. but, given how this has played out already, it's clear that while it may be another russiagate on its merits, it's going to be more consequential. not in the sense that impeachment, even if it passes the house, could end up getting enough votes in the senate to remove trump. but if you don't think this will affect how people vote in 2020 and how the dem primary and then the general election play out you're out of your mind

there are so many low-hanging, cynical yet correct leftist takes on this (that still let you own the dems), so the chapo takes on this seem really dumb to me

Will has said that impeachment is a good idea not because it'll work but because it'll piss trump the hell off and energize Democrats who really want to see their party doing something which sounds like the correct take to me

Why not? The republicans impeached Clinton and it sure helped their political agenda at the time

It's not our fault though, it's the fault of the ruling class of the US and other Western countries. Some US workers, mostly white and mostly men, have benefited from that relationship, although less now than at any point in the previous 70 years. Admittedly, that's sort of a semantic point.

I'm partly scarred from US liberals saying "Just move!" to people in the country's areas that have been screwed over by trade policy and neoliberalism. I don't think it's a stretch to think that mindset could easily be applied to people in other countries as well.

the existing immigration policy is inhumane and people who come here should be treated with complete dignity and be allowed in, but to open up borders to all unlimited freedom of movement would basically amount to massive brain drain away from the global south and the countries that most need a local base of people able to grow their own economy. those who are in the bottom in their own countries without the resources to move would be flat out hosed if the developed nations are allowed to just take their labor force away. bernie's right, complete open borders policies are a koch brothers proposal and basically amount to seizing human wealth from poorer nations

how does one reconcile the idea of people who aren't owners of businesses or even managers, but do earn a high income and get things like employee stock bonuses that technically make them capital owners

they aren't the ones who benefit the most from this current system by far, but seizing the means of production would materially make them worse off given that much of their money may also be tied up in investments. I'm talking like the people in the BFC bad with money/business travel thread types
