Doctors in Texas are turning away patients with ectopic pregnancies, dead fetuses, and other medical emergencies because the abortion law is so poorly written that they’re not sure if they’ll get sued or not.
Texas is likely now the most anti-woman state in the union.

As I said before, it’s just one step in Abbott’s plan to become King/Dictator of Texas.
Eventually he’ll just say “Fuck the Union, I’m in Charge!” and try to secede.

I’m well aware, but one does not have to show both sides of an argument when specifically addressing a particular event.
In this respect, it was the Republicans being little shits, and I am under no obligation to point to instances where the dems are being as such. I’m not comparing and contrasting, just calling a spade a spade.
In all honesty, I can agree to disagree with you on this, principlally-speaking, but I do find what you’re saying to be very-much understandable, at the least.
@Background Pony #D89E
Whoa bro, slow down, I might have to report you!
…M8, I’m just going to be totally honest, here:
Nobody thinks you are smart or clever for needlessly replying to another user with a completely unnecessary, irrelevant, and pointless response like this. All this attempt of yours at sounding ‘cool as can be’ is gonna do is just make other people like myself view you as someone who is completely uninterested in having a discussion on the relevant topic at hand in any genuine faith of any kind, whatsoever.
If the only reason you are here in this thread is to troll others of whom you personally don’t agree with, then two things most certainly apply, in this case:
  1. You’re not doing a very good job at it.
  2. Trolling in this thread puts you in direct violation of rule #0, meaning that if you’re reported, you’ll likely have your post deleted and you could possibly be banned, in addition.
So please, for God’s sake, cut it out.
I can’t imagine calling someone out for something as bad as… reads notes
“pointing out that the current system is deeply flawed and ‘socialism’ as a concept in any form has been unfairly demonised to protect the financial interests of those in power to such a degree that those most negatively affected by the status quo act against their own best interest out of pure dogma”
Depends on who you ask as to what “socialism” is, or how “deeply flawed” the “current system” is, or practically anything else that you stated, here, for that matter.
Also, at no point did I ever unironically say ““socialism”=bad”, as I was only simply asking Dustcan a question out of genuine interest.
So in that regard, all you’re really doing here is either making shit up or assuming shit about what I said in my reply to him, and if anything, doing those kinds of things unironically is not a good look for you.

What nobody thinks is that you’re doing a good job at tone-policing. All this attempt of yours at playing thread police is gonna do is just make other people like myself view you as someone obnoxious who’s getting his kicks at attacking others, just like the previous background pony moron who got booted from this thread for doing the same thing as you did.
This is the mods’ job, smartass. If you see a rule #0 violation, report it, but that kind of comment is out of line.
So please, for God’s sake, cut it out.

Could it be that he ends like Julius Caesar as well…
As I previously said, my only objection would be that this is too aggrandizing a death for him — plus John Wilkes Booth already stole “Sic semper tyrannis” when he killed Lincoln.

Considering that the US sticks to a more extreme form of capitalism, especially no thanks to right-wing nutjobs who fear even one public programme as a creeping Soviet something, I wanna ask this question:
Is it better to use parts of socialist methods (like public programmes, welfare nets, nationalised critical industries like power and healthcare) to avoid corporate domination and total poverty? Or is it better to become so capitalist (even at the cost of corporate rule and greater starvation) just to avoid communism?
I am not a communist or a Marxist, but I would rather pick pieces of so-called “socialism” to bring people out of poverty and crime. Amazon, Disney, and Games Workshop had done enough nonsense for this world.

Is Games Workshop really that bad? I know they’re second to only the company that holds the rights to Tintin for being aggressively against fanworks (and I think it’s Anne Rice who’s also up there?) but I didn’t know they were that bad…
Furthermore, the US has been known to enact coups in countries more socialist than Europe…

They banned artists from making their own animations for the sake of their service, Warhammer+. It’s not as serious as Amazon’s abuse of their workers, but I still think it’s another reason to hate pure capitalism.

Names mentioned were Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and of course Qaren herself. They state they had repeated assurances that Trump himself would in fact offer blanket pardons for the lot if they went through with it.
This has to be, what, the 3rd time we’ve heard the GOP having a direct hand in the Inbred Insurrection? The 4th time?

TBF, one half needs to confirm these accusations. They’re kinda big.
Also, the half that may or may not be responsible for trying to kill both halves would really rather you don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
If nothing else though, we now know for certain why Qaren was screaming to speak to Congress’s manager during the Jan 6 hearings.

Youngkin is managing to gain ground on that damn critical race theory lie.
CRT is not taught in any VA public schools, and private schools are not policed by the state education board in matters of curriculum.
Republicans really will believe any bullshit their side peddles them.
I’m skeptical of anything a dem or rep says, while the reps will suck any reds dick that talks about scary minorities.

Your assumption is wrong. The US economically and politically is much more complicated then this.

As a liberal, this is a bit awkward to say, but as a teacher, I have to disagree that “CRT” isn’t being pushed in schools. I don’t know how things are in Virginia, but in Michigan they also say they’re not teaching it, and maybe technically they aren’t, but ideas derived from the ideology that has evolved around it are absolutely showing up in teacher training materials and district directives. Some of it is benign, but other parts are quite toxic and inappropriate. You could probably debate whether this stuff can properly be called “CRT”, but that argument is frankly irrelevant. Although what’s happening is certainly a moral panic out of proportion to the problem (and undoubtedly boosted by those who would like any increases awareness of racism to be taboo), many of the things that set off this backlash are real, and just saying “actual CRT isn’t being taught in schools” misses the point.
