    If this were a shitpost, I would unironically love this.

    Unfortunately, I think it isn’t intended that way, so thumbs down from me

    Ah, the good old fallacy of justifying one thing with something completely unrelated.

    One can just as easily use the same argumentative structure to claim that a delayed train on the subway is the tip of the iceberg which is the Worldwide Illuminati Conspiracy or that the wood in one’s wardrobe having a darker spot indicates it used to be a gateway to Narnia.

    Yeah I hate it when New York cops keep blabbing on and on about seizing the means of production, and how they’re going to take down the bourgeoisie.

    I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.

    This news breaks, both leftist places and far right places get pissed off, but for some reason far right places think leftist want this….

    This is actually a big problem when it comes to polarization. Right wing idiots think anything unpopular that they clearly don’t stand for HAS to be supported by “the radical left”.

    It’s right out of the fascist playbook, blame all wrongdoings on your current scapegoat group.

        That is actually impressively dumb

        Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can’t be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

    Minus the “leftist” part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.

    Using grounds of “preventing the spread of rabies” authorities invaded this man’s home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler’s generals for their loyalty and obedience.

      Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there’s evidence he did fuck all.

      He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn’t a surprise.

      And as I understand it, the existence of an inner planet (Vulcan) was a reasonable explanation consistent with Newtonian gravity. (The only problem was that the planet wasn’t there.)

        Thank you! I wanted to make the link to appropriate section and I usually click the section in the toc to get it. But I could not find the toc on the mobile site.
