I have no strong feelings on this. Pompeo is slime but there's nothing at all surprising or noteworthy for HC to be taking his calls.

If the aim of the trv kvlt cassette only left (not neoliberal scum) is socialism in the US is there a implementation of socialism that doesn't include large govt bureaucracies?

I would wager said kvltists are by and large more disgusted with how said bureacracies have been wielded by both major parties to the material disadvantage of the average citizen, not to mention citizens abroad, than the notion of bureaucracy itself.

Oh, well, that certainly seems like an important distinction for the pompous assholes who identify with that belief set. “Somebody should ensure everyone is treated fairly!”“Not me though! Fuck a government job!”

ah, look, this isn't even a hard argument for a socialist revolutionary to make. the problem is that the existing bureaucracies are ideologically in service of oppression of The People. obviously the solution is to get rid of the Oppressors' Bureacracies and replace them with institutions dedicated to liberating The People from their Oppressors.
this isn't a novel line of argument, and as to whether people will buy the same old bullshit all over again, well, they already are, aren't they?

Except what other joke is there to make when white people still can't tell high profile or completely physically different black people or asian people or latinx apart. It's absurdly ridiculous in how tiresome it is.

She is not really the one doing something embarrassing there?

no, she's not. But I've already seen this circulating as a reason she's racist. So congrats everyone.

Like I just saw this on a the NIKE stream on a trading board where all the MAGA trolls like to hang out right now.
tbh I don't see the case for it not being smarter to just politely correct the interviewer and leave it at that but I also don't see why anyone should care either way

yerac i'm confused why anyone would make that joke it's not a good onei'm also not comparing this to anything Trump did, jfc. I voted for Hillary, I find her gaffes inexplicable and amusing.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 17:45 (seven years ago)
I make it all the time, because again I hear people confusing black people and asian people all the time. This shit is not hard. It's a way to correct someone jokingly while also fucking CORRECTING them for a super annoying subtle to pretty racist thing.
