It’s amazing how lacking an understanding of materialism fails to hold powerful people accountable. Surely no theorists warned about conflating reduced harm with harm-reduction.

Politicians can just not harm. Them reducing the harm they do isn’t a good thing.

Anyway, that was a fun thread.

Oh, that part is also not a joke. Nimrod was a pretty common playground insult when I was a kid (probably less so now but idk what invectives kids these days have coined so maybe it’s still around). Americans do not truck with their own holy texts unless they’re passing them out on street corners.

I remember my mom scolding me for calling my brother nimrod because I didn’t get the joke and thought it was just an insult.
