      Yes I think a person doing blackface at a party and an actor playing a character doing blackface as a commentary on those who do are different. I think the second is still in poor taste but it is categorically different.

          Mostly from his “apology” and how he lied about how many times he did it and his excuse was he didn’t know it was wrong when he did it.

            I think it’s only because I’m defending the ‘wrong’ empire.

            Also all journalists should be protected even if you disagree with their beliefs.

              I kind of pity you guys, you have such a pinhole range of political understanding that you can only assume your opponents are the inverse of you. Like a feudal peasant who thinks that the communist revolutionary simply serves a different king, unable to comprehend what you’re even looking at. You’re like the political version of one of those Christian “science is actually just another religion when you think about it” people.

                  I think Nazism is better than the rest and most of the Nazis agree with me

                  Do you think before you just say things?

                  Economists are happy to see us all go extinct if it increases Bezos’s NPV by 1%.

                  They are a major reason we are so fucked right now.

                    Bezos isn’t even worth a third of musk so that’s an interesting example and I’m not sure economists are heavily invested in Amazon anyways.

                    And that also doesn’t explain how a tiny minority of economists are actually marxian economists.

                  Western economists are simply the high priests of the cult of profit, their job is to normalize and justify atrocity and absurdity. Their profession is so fraudulent that they had to make up a fake Nobel prize for themselves. Look it up, there’s no such thing as an Nobel prize in economics, just a seperate and unaffiliated award called “The Nobel prize in economics”. This slapdash gilded horseshit is all it takes to fool you into supporting the system that has kicked off a mass extinction event and poisoned your body with heavy metals? How unbelievably servile of you.

                  Meanwhile, I think capitalism is a worse economic system than communism, and the crushing majority of ecologists, sociologists, historians, genocide scholars and about two billion people agree with me.

                  I think Catholicism is a better philosophical model than alternatives and most priests agree with me.
