If I can’t share a Curly Wurly then it’s not a revolution.
People in Australia do experience medical bankruptcy. It’s incredibly rare now. But it’s true. But it used to be so much worse before we had a public health system. And health outcomes were worse as well. And it cost more.

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.
I think there is a specific “class” of people they’re going to target.
It is absolutely possible under America’s legal framework. Mackenzie v Hare was the 1915 Supreme Court case, which ruled that a natural-born U.S. citizen woman could lose her citizenship by marrying a non-citizen man.
The holding functionally stood until 1967, when there was a case called Afroyim v. Rusk, where the court held that natural born citizens cannot be stripped of their citizenship involuntarily. But that was a 5-4 decision in the Warren Court, in many regards, the most liberal supreme court in history. A decision that barely won a majority in a court drastically more liberal than this one is what’s standing between the US today and a world where natural born citizens can have their citizenship deemed forfeit.
Hello. Australian here. Just ask our sadistic government. We do it all the time. Hint: It involves putting people in camps.
The pearl clutching from the bourgeois is becoming a bit annoying.
Got bored of Reddit’s capitalism
Not that I think he should have. I’m just saying he had theoretically unlimited power and he chose to protect his family above all else.
Fuck that. Peacefully handing over the country to the oligarchy and this is what he uses his now completely unlimited presidential power for. What a fucking dick.
He could have expanded the court. He could have abolished the electoral college. He could have assassinated Trump. He could have done anything to help anyone but his family but he didn’t. What a fucking dick.
EDIT: Not suggesting he should have gone dark Brandon and assassinated Trump.
Useless old bastard isn’t he?
During the July 20 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox contributor Brian Brenberg called for more coal plants as a solution to extreme heat, claiming, “I think most of America wishes the coal plant was still there because… more people could be in a cool environment and be safer.” [Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 7/20/22]
Climate denier Patrick Moore, a right-wing media darling who works as a nuclear energy consultant, has refuted the idea that carbon dioxide levels are “getting too high” due to human activity. In 2022, Moore wrote on X, “It has been known since at least 1920 that adding CO2 to greenhouses and even to open air causes a huge increase in plant growth, with no harm caused to plants or animals.
You got to love this. The Pentagon just failed its 7th audit in a row. It has a budget of $1tr. And yet the cost savings team decides that penny pinching by making life harder for workers is where the real savings are to be found. Not the giant black hole of finance which is the military industrial complex.
Believe it or not there is a subset of the far right who vehemently believe we are ruining the atmosphere but not pumping ENOUGH carbon into it.
It’s a weird reverso climate change belief. These people blame all the historic hurricanes, wildfires and changing temperature on the completely unfounded idea that humans are limiting their CO2 output.

I used to say that in any situation on any given day, 10% of people are willing to hurt you, 10% are willing to help you, and the other 80% could go either way. I feel like I have to adjust that to 30/10/60 split now.
Nope they genuinely think that the only reason we’re having these weather events is because there’s NOT ENOUGH carbon in the atmosphere.
Love watching the oligarchs take over…it’s nowhere near as subtle as I thought it was going to be.
Good luck
They’re bringing back Enron? Who’s fucking idea was that?
