"The only thing I know is that I don't know anything."
"So...like Socrates?"
"No…more like an actual ignorant person who doesn't know shit."
"Oh."

The existence of a Luigi who kills healthcare executives implies the existence of a Waluigi who kills people with medical debt.

we're all dead this is hell and we're gonna keep getting the "Listen kiddo, I get it" lecture from democrats for eternity

I also vividly remember none of them being deployed to help during the 2021 ice storm. People froze in their beds, and the state did nothing to help them.

the Kent State massacre was metabolized as a tragedy in history books, but it was cheered by reactionaries at the time. the fantasy of delivering violence to naive young liberals is foundational to the modern right. they never learned the lesson of Kent State because they never stopped supporting it

Extra credit if you, as a professional opinion-haver, tells other people that they don’t work hard enough

“I oppose all violence” usually means there are people against whom violence isn’t really violence because they’re not considered fully human. Anyone supporting the current system supports an unbelievable amount of daily, globe-spanning, horrible violence. It’s baked in.

The reactions of two Jewish Columbia students, from today's New York Times report on the protests.

Reminder that a lot of these students are Jewish!! And there have been countless, real instances of Islamophobia on campus but it would never get framed that way! This is sickening.

if fast food burgers prices rise by 15 cents so that fast food employees can make a living wage i might just end it all

It was so heartening to see all those people show up in numbers at the airports when they did—only for almost all of those people to be perfectly fine with kids in cages once it was a Democrat putting them there. We are doomed if that shit doesn’t change immediately.

Remember when liberals were calling maga chuds cultists because Trump could shoot a man on 5th avenue and they'd still vote for him. Well Biden can execute a Palestinian live every night before the election and libs will still vote for him.

To have millions of people around the world pretending to believe the most obvious, vile and provably false lies I’ve ever heard and constantly accusing US of lying and acting in bad faith, of being bloodthirsty pieces of shit, is just… making me a little insane, that’s all.

I can’t conceive of the unbelievable resilience and strength of Palestinians to have dealt with this gaslighting for decades. To have the world go along with the narrative of your colonizers unquestioningly.
