Trump, using extreme rhetoric, calls Harris 'mentally impaired' and says she should be 'prosecuted'
  • Fascism doesn't come out of stupidity. It comes out of the degradation of social safety nets, education, community, and ultimately degrading material conditions.

    If, in trying to understand how America is devolving into fascism, your primary question is "how can people be so stupid?", you'll always be confused. There isn't some perfectly crafted argument, no perfect slam, no appeal to logic that is going to mitigate fascism. The only ways to curb fascism are to change material conditions or extinguish fascists.

  • Locked
    If you're jumping into online discussions only to throw hate and insults, you're just being an asshole, regardless of the cause.
  • The rich and powerful are simultaneously destroying ecosystems and withholding medication from working people. They are carrying out violence against us. This fetish for "civility" does nothing other than legitimize the presence of an all-powerful, rich ruling class and strengthen the status quo. I'll harp on breaking out the guillotines until real change starts to happen.

  • Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping
  • Sure, the US has an advantage in raw number of immigrants versus China. No one is arguing that.

    My point is that touting "our melting-pot-loving leaders" versus "their Han-supremacist demagogues" at the height of your unprecedented devolution into fascism isn't quite the own you think it is.

  • Business as usual
  • People in the know who make big yellow equipment have taken note of the massive, unprecedented uptick in militarized machine sales to the middle east. Graders, specifically. They're planning on paving over everything.

  • Anon goes to dinner with coworkers
  • The fact that some event happened outside of work hours by no means disqualifies it as legitimate harassment. We should absolutely not be disparaging people for invoking this protection. Think of all the vulnerable groups who may be less likely to speak up after some shitty behavior if we start shitting on people for invoking this protection.

    A hostile work environment claim may include conduct that occurs in a work-related context outside an employee’s regular workplace.[219] For instance, harassment directed at an employee during the course of offsite employer-required training occurs within the “work environment,” even if the training is not conducted at the employer’s facility.[220]

    Example 53: Harassment During Off-Site Employer-Hosted Party Was Within Work Environment. Fatima’s employer hosts its annual holiday party in a private restaurant. One of her coworkers, Tony, drinks to excess, and at the end of the evening attempts to grope and kiss Fatima. Although Tony’s behavior occurred outside Fatima’s regular workplace and at a private restaurant unaffiliated with her employer, it occurred in a work-related context, the company-sponsored holiday party. Therefore, based on these facts, the harassment occurred in Fatima’s work environment for purposes of a Title VII sexual harassment claim.

  • Scientists in South Africa say they have identified the first known outbreak of rabies in seals
  • Humans don't necessarily become afraid of large bodies of water while infected with rabies.

    Rabies takes away your ability to drink water and swallow, and attempting to drink feels like you're choking. I think this leads some patients to have an aversion to water despite being dangerously thirsty. They try to drink the water best they can, but they just choke on it.

  • Ohio sheriff suggests residents keep a list of homes with Harris yard signs
  • For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.

    And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.
