I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

yeah there's a fundamental disconnect between what guys like alex believe and what "the left" believes in that these guys believe in fictional scenarios and you can't disprove them by pointing out that they're fictional.

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either
- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks
- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

And yet it is the latter who are painted as expressing the "legitimate grievances" of "the people" by the mainstream media and politicians

And why, you ask: Well, dear Watson, it's because the history of economy does not provide any irrefutable evidence to support the bold and sweeping assertions of mainstream economics; in fact it contradicts most of it.

Wool trade in 15th century Flanders is easily one of the most crucial topics in economic history. But I've noted The Economist's rabid hatred of economic history before - it is indeed a field of science feared and loathed by almost all acolytes of the modern mainstream economics cult.

I don't trust anyone who says they oppose Trump and support Israel because the apartheid state is the same kind of racist far right government that Trump is.
So you're okay with fascism as long as it kills people you personally don't like? Is that it?
