What a fucking nightmare that would be

You're not going to like this answer but he didn't say Soviet Union because he didn't need to. Everybody understood that 'communism' was 'THE Global Conspiracy' ever since McCarthyism took of.

Check out A conspiracy so immense : the world of Joe McCarthy by David Oshinsky to learn a little of what the attitude of the time was like.

Also sorry for the previously snippy response.

I use Goodonyou.eco to check out fashion and beauty brand's ethical standards. It's not perfect but it gives a pretty good 'quick view' of whether they're dog shit or not.

In terms of BIFL, other than my Sunbeam Coffee filter machine, we've taken to buying second hand or locally made furniture.

The number of Americans who do not understand this is frustratingly large.

James Lindsay, a prominent right-wing pundit, had submitted the aforementioned adaptation of Marx and Engels’s work and gotten it published. The essay’s publication, per Lindsay, is proof that the far right is basically the same as the far left: that it is, in his words, part of a “woke right” corrupting conservatism from within.

The author is did it because he wants to begin his version of the night of the long knives and purify the conservative movement.

His contract said he was the only person who could play Kang in any multiverse.

The emotional reaction I get to these stories is hard to put into words. It's a mix of deep sadness and incandescent rage. I just can't imagine being in that position and not wanting to firebomb a politician's house.

My little girl had a very high fever the other night and we were really worried about her, so we called the nurse on call hotline who advised us to wait and go to the urgent care centre in the morning unless she got suddenly worse overnight, then to head to emergency. It was all stressful enough just worrying about how sick she was. I can't imagine how much worse it would be having to worry about paying for any of those services on top of that.

Believes might makes right? But I read the headline here that he's a fascist-murderer not a Fascist who is a murderer

Those are from 2003. Here's some more up to date data (with spreadsheets!): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries

USA is still placed at #90, but the top looks a bit different

Remember the partition of India? Remember the Nakba?

Telling 1 million people that they no longer have a home never ends well.

I feel like if it's made a big enough impression to have a mental health disorder named after it, it might not count.
