I wonder how WW2 would have gone if instead of “shooting first”, they gave the guy in the SS uniform the benefit of the doubt until he signed a written statement acknowledging that yes, he was indeed a Nazi who fully and willingly supported Hitler and the genocide of minorities.
But hey, we know who this person is. Should we look up their other posts? We can go through them one by one until we’ve got your rubber stamp of approval to say “this person is probably racist”.
What about this one?. Can we call them racist, or do you was to tell us “Stop jumping to conclusions, that could just be L5 written diagonally in a circle”.
We both know it could be and we both know it isn’t going to be.
Abused? Agendas? I don’t believe it. I’m sure this is just one of a series of posts and either side is “its okay to be asian” and “it’s okay to be black” /s
The statement “it’s okay to be white” may be true, but it’s also never been widely suggested otherwise outside of a handful of shit takes.
It’s just people taking “white people have done some fucked up racist shit” personally, like someone yelling “not all men” and punching their wife because she was discussing modern and historical domestic abuse.
A healthy person should be able to say “they’re not talking about me specifically (even if they’re talking about a group I belong to) and they’re not specifically excluding me (even if they’re talking about a group I don’t belong to)”.
They don’t really want to live in the country these laws and rhetoric build, they just want to smear shit all over the walls in a tantrum because the world isn’t giving them everything they want.
Putin wants to see Trump in power for exactly that reason. A barely coherent buffoon, rubbing his soiled diaper all over the walls of a bigger, nicer house full of people he hates.
It must be humiliating to see conservatives pushing a conservative agenda and have no response to it except “no you”.
Have you even thought this through logically, or do you just bleat what you’re told to?
If support having police search schools to ensure gender identity is suitably suppressed, you should be proudly taking credit for it as a conservative.
If you don’t support it, conservatives have made it clear that this is their agenda and if you don’t support it, you’re no longer welcome among conservatives.
So what’s it going to be? Are you going to openly support current Republican policies, pretend you do, pretend you don’t, switch to the party you’ve been trying to throw your shit at or just not vote?
Is this really the corner you want to back yourself into for shit-tier jabs like “Must be a Democrat”?
While this is definitely something people should do, be careful offering “the free market will fix it” as a solution – it’s pushed a solution by neoliberals exactly because it doesn’t work.
In this particular case, ethical businesses may have already been pushed out of the market because the only way for them to compete is to either charge more or also rip off their workers and suppliers.
Charging more is obviously the correct solution, but paying more for an ethically produced product isn’t a luxury everyone has because they’re also working for an insatiably greedy company.
Regulations that force companies to behave ethically is the only way out of this hole, which is why neoliberals fiercely oppose them.
Probably lots of reasons, all of them fucked.
The main reason is probably money. There’s no better way to turn billions of dollars of public funds into billions of dollars of private profits.
It also reassures neoliberals that for all his rhetoric about forgiving loans and improving healthcare access, he’s still willing to kill children if there’s money in it.
It’s also a chance to show off the unstoppable force of American arms against people who are considered completely expendable to America.
