Found the fascist!

The comment fell over and needed to be righted.

They’re talking about the scam of NFTs in general, Bored Apes in particular.

Apparently the company announced a restructuring in early October.

Mmm not really. Being opposed to imperialist actions by the US does not imply that one feels we have an obligation to use force to oppose imperialist actions perpetrated by other countries. In fact, leftists are famously anti-war pretty much across the board.

America doesn’t police the world out of some righteous moral obligation. They do it because it enriches the incredibly bloated and unregulated military industrial complex.

And before anyone calls me a tankie, I fucking hate Putin. It’s not an either/or situation with Ukraine.

I saw a recent clip of him somewhere the other day and thought he was Alex Jones for a second. The roids have not been kind to him, I can’t imagine what he’ll look like in his 70’s

Think about it this way, sushi chefs know how to prepare raw fish safely in the same way any other chef knows how to prepare cooked meats safely. The risk is the same.

I’ve been eating sushi for 30 years, and the only time I’ve had food-poisoning I got it from a rotisserie chicken.

I don’t know what you mean, he says right in the song he’s never gonna hurt you.

I’ve been on the internet since AOL free trials, and this is among the top ten worst things I’ve seen. Congratulations.

This is one of those situations where the fact that they pointed out it was fart-free makes it that much more suspicious. Like, “Drink this - we definitely didn’t fart in it!”

Part of me wishes he would try it, because you just don’t come for the US Federal Government. Trump talks a big game and has a following, but the Feds are fucking psychos. These people killed MLK. These people have overthrown countless foreign governments. They’ve been trafficking drugs, weapons, and humans since before you and I were born.

I’m not saying I’m happy about it. I’m ashamed to be American every day that I wake up. But Trump is small potatoes to them. If he ever tried a coup for real it would end very badly for him, I promise you.

My lord, this post sinks to high heaven!

I don’t know, I thought you wanted to.

There, house. There, castle.

Uber’s net profit for the twelve months ending March 31st, 2023 was $-3.36bn. That’s negative 3.36 billion dollars. They posted their first ever operating profit today. August 1st, 2023.

So yeah, really cool company. Not at all some sort of horrifying demon of modern capitalism…

I’m with you, I was totally on board until the reply.

I guess you’re right, I just automatically cringe at the thought of his photo going down in history as the first mugshot of a former president. Like it’s the kind of infamy that he probably gets off on. This dude deserves total washed-up obscurity and nothing more.

Firstly, I can’t read this article as it’s behind a paywall. I have, however, read other articles about it.

Second, imagine how famous the image of a former president’s mugshot will become. This idiot is going to have his picture in every newspaper, for the 500th time. And anyone planning on voting for him currently is not going to change their mind because of it.

I want him to get charged with every crime under the sun, but there has got to be a way to do it without giving him the national stage time and time again. It could be 2016 all over again if the media doesn’t change its behavior.

I was gonna say, loving the use of the word “unify”. I also feel like the AP could have editorialized just a bit at least for the headline and maybe gone with something more along the lines of “reclaim”.

Huh, fascinating. I grew up in the Northeast and live in the Southeast now. I wanna do a sociological study on this.

Politically, it was championed by some of the country’s most prominent Christian conservatives — like Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson and mega-evangelist Franklin Graham. The evangelicals provided the political muscle on the right, as well as a kind of unvarnished Christian moral argument for healing the sick, that ultimately got Bush and Congress on board — leading to PEPFAR’s creation in 2003. PEPFAR thus should not be seen only as a great American accomplishment, but also a great evangelical accomplishment.

When people talk about AIDS relief to Africa that provides zero funding for contraception on religious grounds, this is the program they’re talking about. It’s the same imperialist bullshit that’s been going on in Africa for centuries. If they really wanted to help people, they’d be sending billions of condoms a year. Prevent the spread instead of treating the disease.

The article completely glosses over what the evangelicals wanted in return for their support. Because just helping people wasn’t enough, it had to be on their terms. The writer for Vox then goes on to spend several paragraphs making the same weird “Trump was worse than Bush” comparisons that have become so popular among neo-liberals in recent years.

All-In-all, this is a terrible piece of journalism.
