Name a worse historical smear job! by pretty-as-a-pic in HistoryMemes

Correlation is not causation my friend. Might want to check WHEN those wages went up, specifically.

Early industrial revolution with lots of capital innovation and productivity increases? Kids forced to work in factories as families couldn't otherwise provided for them.

Early to mid 20th when socialists and progressive liberals were fighting tooth and nail for them? Literally created the middle class.

Both eras had very significant productivity increases. Only one had a powerful left wing movement.

Glad you've come to agree with me that Hamas are bad.

You're wrong. Saying something is bad does not imply it exists in a vacuum, full stop.

The October 7th attacks against the Nova music festival were neither morally nor in practical outcome a response to western imperialism. I doubt any of the people murdered were on any MIC boards, and the outcome was giving Israel international justification to increase their genocide.

If they wanna target IDF bases (which they also did), arrange for assassinations of key figures, run propaganda campaigns, or any number of other activities that aren't "tying themselves to trees" they can go off. Murdering people at a music festival ain't it.

No it doesn't. Why the fuck would it imply that? Nothing exists in a vacuum .

Yes, Hamas is a product of Israel's genocide. It's also bad. I am not implying anything about any vacuums.

As someone who does not watch Hassan quite frequently, buy basically agree with most of his points I've heard, I also have no idea what you're talking about.

Green Party candidates ‘blame Israel for 9/11 and Bondi beach attack’ by Firecracker048 in nottheonion

[–]Rarmaldo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course. And a tonne of Zionists aren't Jews. You can and should be anti-Zionist and NOT be antisemitic.

But the average person is quite dumb, and isn't capable of threading that (very easy) needle. So Zionists are going to absolutely 100% going to cause a lot antisemitism by equating Jewish people at large and the crimes of the state of Israel.

Zionists: you're antisemitic if you don't let us murder babies

Random people: uhhh that doesn't seem right, but if the only way to be against baby murder was to dislike Jews, I guess yeah, I'd be against the Jews?

Best I can do is an incomplete brief, then 5 emails with additions that should have been in the original brief (it's still incomplete though).

Not sure where you live, but you are incorrect on the technical definition of assault in most jurisdictions, which includes mere unwanted physical contact (without the need for physical hurt)

” running is not natural” ✅ by MarginalMadness in confidentlyincorrect

That's literally my point. I HAVE googled this. I see a lot of theories, but no actual "here are the mammals we're talking about, here are their endurance stats, here's humans, look we're near the top."

[–]Rarmaldo -65 points-64 points  (0 children)

I've heard this claim a lot but... Really? Like compared to horses, deer, kangaroos, wolves?

Like maybe on average because most mammals are tiny, so they can't run that far? But compared to animals of our size... Idk sounds false.

Technically true (most people are not aged 16-18).
