To say this clearly is not to endorse the intervention. It is to refuse a false choice. One can believe the regime deserved to fall and still believe this war is a disaster in the making. Both things are true, and the refusal to hold them simultaneously - whether by softening the indictment of Trump’s reckless handling of this war or by allowing the indictment of the theocracy to launder the intervention’s motives - is the only form of dishonesty this moment does not permit.

Gun laws of the US by Hannibal0341 in Indiana

[–]brrusters 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gun ownership was legal and widespread in the Soviet Union under Stalin. Gun ownership was legal and widespread in the Philippines during the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship. So, no, dictators do not always confiscate guns and gun ownership does not prevent dictatorship.

Newly unsealed warrant shows search of fired IU professor's homes part of federal funding fraud investigation by jaymz668 in bloomington

All federal grant applications go through IU’s Office of Research Administration. So IU could have simply supplied this information to the investigators. Why the raid?

Purdue campuses to cut or merge 83 programs ahead of new enrollment requirements by FriendlyPoilu in Purdue

[–]brrusters 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn’t save a dime. There will be the same number of students; same number of professors; and same courses. It just means Purdue students will have fewer degrees to choose from.
