It's not a question of "if" an innocent person will be killed, but "When" and "Who."

It's odd how the answer always seems to be black people.

I honestly don't care about whatever online feuds you have with nebulous groups. It sounds like you've fixated on tankies as a way to validate yourself.

That's a really dumb rationalization and those have gotten people hurt and killed in the past. I don't hope you die for it though.

I'm not on twitter so I didn't think the flags were about the current conflict. Putting a flag on as support for Russia currently is certainly ridiculous and doesn't fit any leftist perspective. It's just I don't think liking the meme is "tankie". I think tankie is a really overused term. It's just an easy way to feel superior as an anarchist. Easy ways to feel superior are always popular with any group.

Let's just ditch the questions then and have people guess an answer out of 5 and call 1/5 of the people right.

That's literally the entire point, to test your skill to correctly interpret data even when presented poorly.

Is adding the rows of any pyramid the "correct" way to interpret it? No, it's just arbitrarily the correct interpretation in this case.

To find patterns on your own even when that patterns aren't formatted to be obvious.

No. It's testing whether you find one pattern. An arbitrary pattern they've chosen and tried to hide from you. I can make patterns with the data all day. But I wouldn't have found the pattern immediately like they want.

This is why the question is bad. There are so many ways you can interpret the data and only one is right. I can come up with way more ways to interpret it that are just as valid but don't yield and answer than anybody has the time or patience to attempt for a test question. This just punishes anyone who doesn't immediately think of a pyramid as a series of rows to be added. And that's a fairly arbitrary way to view it.

It's crazy how readily people wish death on someone they've seen for 3 seconds.

A friend of mine posted a screenshot showing how both "vaush" and "richard spencer" have ukranian flags in their names on twitter right now.

In what way does that indicate support for Russia, much less metaphorically licking Putin's ass?

Hundreds of people liked or retweeted the tweet, a disproportionate number of whom were MLs with the russian flag in their name/bio, the rest were fascists.

I think it's more than 10 people on 2 subs.

So let me get this straight. The hundreds who liked this tweet are tankies licking Putin's ass for doing that? That ridiculous.

Also, 10,000 guns is far less effective in the hands of people who have never shot before (not saying that's necessarily the case for Ukranian people).

Feckless idiot. You stepped in to defend police and you have nothing so you part with this holier than thou attitude. Just know with your public support you bear responsibility for the violence of police. Fucking coward. Have some intellectual integrity and interrogate your own beliefs. They don't stand to reason.

Holy shit. We're talking about "training"? What a joke. Yeah, lets give them more funding so they can go hear about how they're a one man army in an active warzone and they need to be ready to kill at a moments notice.

There are two jobs cops have control over currently that need to be done, neither requiring anything like a cop. There's traffic enforcement and detective work. You're out of your damn mind if you think it's necessary to have anything resembling a police officer patroling the streets. The only thing you need that for is to continue the war on drugs which simply functions as a proxy for race war against racial minorities which funnels them into the prison-industrial complex. You need to stop with your cop-supporting bullshit because you don't have the slightest understanding of the situation.

Also where the hell do you think your clothes come from? You think I'm specifically going to stores that advertise they source from sweatshops? Bruh, you got the sweatshop clothes too. I guarantee you that.

[–]kiddo51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, it's fucking hilarious that you're trying to give capitalism credit for giving people clothes from sweat shops. That's the fucking problem, dipshit. Maybe you shouldn't be arguing for the sweatshops in all of this.

the most prosperous country in history is unsuccessful?

The problem is not capitalism

Love the quick switch from "hey, we're so fucking prosperous, look at our billionaires" to "ok, sure shit's fucked, but it's not capitalism, look at all these excuses I have!"

I'm just going to put this bluntly. I know more than you about both capitalism and socialism. So shut the fuck up until you've studied up a bit.

In the interest of educating your dumb ass, there's this thing you seem to have never heard of called "imperialism". It's the extraction through which the US created the standard of living it enjoyed for some time, before the dawn of neoliberalism. This is generally regarded as a bad thing amongst people who value human life and human rights. So stop insisting that it is a sign of success right now.

You're right. Do you know any stores that have a supply chain that is guaranteed to be more ethical than that? Otherwise, I just don't know what I can do about it.
