It's all downhill from here

Poverty is maintained through violence, yes, but it's also violence in another sense: it does relatively direct and often severe physical harm to a person, and this harm is not something that happens passively, it is made. When the world is sequestered in parcels of property, when the state and the law and the ruling class dictate precisely who is allowed to eat what, sleep where, and live how, the suffering that material want brings is no mere passive condition. It is imposed coercively by the structures we live under. And phsyical suffering, imposed coercively, is exactly what violence is.

Without violence, there would be no poverty, no suffering of material want?

Not really, no.

The United States has a 1.6% Covid fatality rate, with a .0016% fatality rate for children.

ALSO… Let’s not forget that, despite Polio being several orders of magnitude more deadly and horrific for children, the vaccine still took nearly 7 years to develop before being widely administered. They took their time to make sure it was safe and accurate, despite the significantly greater threat Polio posed.

Okay before I tell y'all about the Cutter Incident, I’m going to explain how vaccines work. There are two ways to make a vaccine: the first is with deactivated “dead” viruses, and the second is with attenuated viruses (weaker strains of a still “live” virus). Both are successful in conferring general immunity by providing the immune system with safer forms of a virus to build up antibodies and “practice” on. Jonas Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine in 1951, using the deactivation method, and it was approved for mass distribution in 1955. Five companies were licensed by the National Institute of Health to manufacture Salk’s vaccine - Eli Lilly, Park-Davis, Wyeth, Pittman-Moore, and Cutter Laboratories. Now we get to the Cutter Incident, but don’t let the name fool you, because all five companies were involved in the disaster.

this is my favourite line of the Cutter incident actually

It became political when politicans became involved, Bobby. Don’t pretend your side is on some moral high ground that should not be questioned, because y'all had no problem with BLM violating lockdowns, Bobby.

I have medical reasons to NOT get the fucking vaccine.

And of course Bogleech shows up with a terrible argument. 

Honestly, people like boggy here are making it HARDER for others to trust the vaccine.

I am incredibly saddened by POTUS’ actions. For several reasons. But by forcing millions of people to give up a basic and personal health decision, I am afraid this is only opening the door for further and much more invasive government mandates.

I just got an alert from my Federal Credit Union about the above link. They're asking me to write my local congressman in order to protect my personal information and the personal information of all the other members. This is getting to be some real BS from the federal level.

“But referring to autogynephilia for any reason other than to deny its existence provokes even greater rage than other sins against “wokeness.” Blanchard thinks one reason is that it complicates the task of “selling” transsexualism. If a guy decides he’s coming to work as a woman from now on, it’s one thing for him to say: “I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’ve always been a woman inside,” and quite another to say: “I’ve moved on from just masturbating in women’s clothes to wearing them all the time.” In Galileo’s Middle Finger, Dreger offers another insight: since autogynephilia involves a fantasy of truly becoming, or already being, a woman, any reference to it can be experienced as an insult. “There’s a critical difference between autogynephilia and most other sexual orientations: most other orientations aren’t erotically disrupted simply by being labelled,” she writes. “When you call a typical gay man homosexual, you’re not disturbing his sexual hopes and desires. By contrast, autogynephilia is perhaps best understood as a love that would really rather we didn’t speak its name.” This explains why such rage is mostly directed at women, even though it is men who commit almost all anti-trans harassment and violence. Blanchard’s observations of extremist trans activism in recent years have led him to believe that the leaders are mostly autogynephiles. Their anger results from “envy of women and resentment at not being accepted by women as one of them,” he has tweeted. “They direct their ire at women because it is women who frustrate their desires. Men are largely irrelevant.” Consider the favoured insult of the angry youth wing of trans activism: TERF, which stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.” The first part does not refer to excluding trans people from jobs, housing or other goods: it simply means denying that identifying as a woman makes you one. “Radical feminism” is feminism understood as a liberation movement to free females from the patriarchy—a man cannot be a radical feminist, only an ally. Only females, therefore, can be TERFs. There is no equivalent insult for males who deny that sex can be changed by self-declaration.”

Every leftist I met who refers to Israel as a settler colony wants all Jews to be removed from the Levant (in some cases killed, since lefties tend to view Jews as 95% upper class anyway), and you never seemed like an exception. Moreover, theoretically all immigrants de facto qualify as settler colonists, since a home for a rich immigrant could have gone to a working class native-born family.

When people say that the palestinians and allies would like to (by murder) “remove Jews from the Levant” and without a strong authoritarian defense system (funded by US dollars) they would succeed by sheer force of numbers,  what do you think about that argument?

I dont think the idea of supporting Israel is unreasonable (historically several neighbors very much did try to exterminate them!) but at this point Israel is so far above its peers in military capacity it simply laughable. Nuclear-weapon-wielding hyper-modern IDF would sweep the floor of literally every military in the Middle East combined on the defensive.
