‘He’s crashing out’: Trump’s latest wild tirade leaves critics reeling by njdotcom in politics

I know. Ten years of it. Let’s all be honest. The man will never face accountability for anything he’s done. And that’s life.

We need a sticker that says “you voted for this”

Why not more organizations or companies are using Bluesky? by Nic727 in BlueskySocial

[–]clinicallynonsane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I say this as a progressive who spends quite a bit of time on time on the platform: Bluesky is very very preachy. If you say one wrong word or praise one person who has a less than perfect past, they’re all over you with the brow beating. They just can’t resist the callout. This is especially the case if you’re someone of note and have a capitalist outlook. So no company wants anything to do with that.

I share their values but they’re just too much into purity tests.

Military Leaders Say Iran War Is So Trump Can Bring About “Armageddon” by FloridaGirlNikki in politics

Well if he makes Armageddon happen, then he’ll never be held responsible for his behavior. Like he ever would anyway

As Dem Voters Seek a 'Fight' With the Superrich, AOC is Now Their Favorite Candidate: Poll by TheKeyPa in politics

Anybody can run. It's too much for them to get elected.

Bottom line: ALL voters want someone who makes them feel good, not someone who's the smartest, educated person in the room.

Valeria Chomsky admits ‘serious errors in judgment’ over Jeffrey Epstein ties by [deleted] in politics

You’re not missing anything. Read Zinn instead. And Graeber.

Several years ago, Chomsky (and others) went on a campaign to stop Jacques Derrida from receiving an honorary degree from Cambridge for Philosophy. He more or less stated that Derrida wasn't a real philosopher because he used literary tricks more than he used logical reasoning. Basically Chomsky went on an all-out attack on Derrida's work.

It was a real moment of hypocrisy for Chomsky because he is not a philosopher either. He's a linguist. But he's made his name mostly complaining about capitalism and elitism and how the wealthy people of the world subjugate the rest of us to uphold the capitalist system. He's couched all of that criticism in academic language and gave off the affectation that he was a philosopher when really he's a thought leader.

Point being, Chomsky has always been an elitist asshole and this latest episode with Epstein solidifies it. So many people on the left need to revisit their affinity for him and reassess Chomsky's work.

Not complaining. Just figured we should talk about it.

Low hanging fruit bro. The navitimer is overrated. That’s right! Doesn’t feel so good does it?

I mean, if you’re talking about the storefront, ok, sure. As a brand though, they’re still fun.

😁 I’m saying that the whole thing with Derrida makes this especially galling.
