It was never clear whether he wanted a race war or how he planned to carry one out, he simply wanted to arm oppressed minorities all over the world.

But in any case, making the Bad Guy™ murder kittens doesn't change whether he's right.

See The Dark Knight Rises, where the Bad Guy™ neutralizes the police, and the people immediately band together to lynch the bankers and landlords (this is portrayed as a bad thing). Naturally, the Bad Guy™ then decides to nuke the city, for reasons.

Notable struggle sessions:

Pronouns End result: Transphobes outed themselves and were purged)

Veganism End result: Vegans who couldn't stop stoking the fire and anti-vegans who wouldn't stop trolling or using indigenous people as a shield were purged, CWs were required for meat, vegans generally chilled out

Stacking rocks End result: White guys using indigenous tribes they aren't a part of as a shield were heavily mocked)

Outdoor Cats End result: outdoor cats bad

AES countries End result: For each country, there are/have been significant issues, but nearly every western criticism is worthless due to being false or ignoring the historical context.

Yes, the revolution didn't fix everything overnight, but it did lay the ground-work that allowed them to fix their problems. Unlike say India, who is a net-exporter of food, yet still has excess deaths associated with malnutrition.

“It is appalling that the Canadian government could attempt for no good reason to subject innocent Canadians, their family members and descendants to public scorn,” wrote Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO and executive director of the UCC in his fundraising plea.

Those poor innocent war criminals.

Which communist country, and when? It's hard to imagine anyone in any former communist country who was old enough to remember communism, and lived through the 90s, could think communism was worse.

No matter how nice communism sounds on paper it depends on humans sharing and not being selfish and power hungry

Those problems are a million times worse in capitalism where each capitalist is a dictator responsible only to themselves and each politician is responsible only to their capitalist donors.

When the sub was put on probation, the post Reddit cited was justifying violence against slave owners. As far as I can tell, you just made up that they threatened Reddit admins.

Looks like it's having a measurable effect.

The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.

It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.

Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.

Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
