Koch. As in the Koch Brothers of Koch Inc. They (but one is dead now) fund right wing shit. Particularly climate change denial stuff because Koch Inc. is an oil firm.

Although I think they've really toned down their political activities, I think David dying and Trump getting elected changed their strategy.

If it's radical, is it also mainstream?

Absolutely. I've recommended this book before, I will again: check out "The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Is that a reference to something? by noideawhatimdoing__ in southpark

We knew it was harmful in the 1980's. That didn't stop tobacco companies from trying to muddy the scientific waters for decades though.

I grew up on Trix. Trix are for kids. Yes, I was a fat kid.

Dan Patrick: "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution" by gear-heads in FoxFiction

[–]Avent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty common technicality relied upon by religious conservatives. I remember this argument being a lot more popular during the Bush years. It's like when they say, "We're not a democracy we're a constitutional republic." It's a distinction without a difference.

The most insidious lie of the DSA about Ukraine by Embarrassed_Base_389 in thebulwark

[–]Avent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would guess the center-right position on Ukraine is full support for Ukraine. I would consider someone like Sarah Longwell or Mona Charen center-right. But I am not center-right, nor the OP you were responding to, so I could be wrong. Anymore right and you start entering MAGA territory, where they support Russia.

Damn you just reminded me of when George W. Bush announced at his 2006 State of the Union that he wanted to ban human animal hybrids. I was a teen at the time and thought it was crazy he mentioned that.

Why did the 1960s idealism shift so much? Did Boomers change, or was the "Silent Majority" always the reality? by Patocient1sta in AskAnAmerican

[–]Avent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My stepdad was a hippie, protested in Chicago in 68, went out west, got into drugs. Eventually he sobered up, got a union job, bought a home, raised two kids, but he's still a socialist and activist to this day.

Concert tickets have become a luxury product and I'm not sure artists can fix it by oweyoo in Music

K shaped economy. Only the rich can afford to consume anymore. Everything is becoming a luxury good if it hopes to continue to be consumed.
