In a normal county these people would get laughed out of the room. In america they get a powerful Position, or even become president
Yeah but how bout all our Marxist hurricanes that keep hitting the Gulf Coast? Our storms do way more damage than your bourgeois quakes.
I used to think all that talk was just weird, but now I wonder how many of them are actually serious.
Looks like all that lead paint and lead gasoline is finally settling in the boomer brains the last couple of years
The next 10 years will be interesting as the boomers really start displaying dementia and other age related mental decline.
I mean in 2024, still seriously? Maybe 1000 BC in ancient Greece it makes sense but how can this still be an argument in 2024?
Because people are fucking stupid.
B/c he knows that he does not mean it, and his base knows that he does not mean it, but it still manages to communicate something regardless - "they bad".
Humanity today is genetically identical to those in ancient Greece, and many of us have spent less time schooling ourselves about how to e.g. avoid frauds than many of them did back then. ergo, "argument by authority" still works for us, as perhaps it did for them back then as well.
Your presupposition seems to be that humanity should somehow get better over time? At least it seems to relate to a common humanist theme, but if we want to get better, it is going to require effort on our part to make that happen. (apparently, having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at our fingertips is not sufficient, for those who cannot be bothered to learn from it - either by reading or just sitting passively as videos with pwetty graphics do all the work of spelling it all out for us, yet still that is less fun & engaging to people who would rather watch shiny motor vehicles with ads on them drive round & round in circles)
Our best and brightest here. Tip of the spear.
If there still needs permission or something to ignore whatever comes out of Giuliani's mouth, here, we grant it. Newsweek et al., you have our permission to no longer burden us with his ravings.
these morons want to run the country again
Republicans think liberal and communist are the same thing. They also think communist and fascist are the same thing. But of course Giuliani is a highly educated professional who knows better. He’s just cynical, and rotten to the core.
What a walking corpse he is. Amazing.
Has he always be so derranged or this is just old man's mental decline?
I'm really starting to worry about the effects lead paint had on that generation...
