Who do you think enjoys the protection of the US military, major non-NATO allies, and NATO. It's like half of the world's GDP and a good chunk of the world's population. I personally wouldn't care if every country dropped military funding for the most part, and just invested it towards education, space, and healthcare advancements, but's it's not feasible without a world government. Also, defense is a public good, so it's pay by everyone in a country, but safety is enjoyed by all in a country.
And that disproves that the U.S. military alone is a bigger contributer to global warming than many countries combined how? Also, it's highly debatable what the U.S. military, or any large military industry actually protects besides itself.

Apparently saying you like being a female artist is now considered Transphobic by some in woke world

Have you read a little bit further down? Where it turns out that this is mostly just TERFy people trying to weaponise her & claiming the trans community is attacking her in order to whip up a reaction?

The article quotes precisely two "detractors" of Adele. One of whom says it's ambiguous, and doesn't condemn her.... and the other one has described it as a "Sardonic shit-post" which nobody could take seriously.

So this is a pile of nothing, which has been intentionally been blown into a fake outrage by anti-trans people on Twitter.

Might want to tell that to all the other places quoting others and reporting on it

First link there is literally just about a Youtuber whining about the "trans activist" lobby.

Second link there solely quotes the same two tweets I already covered, one of which is an obvious joke and the other one of which isn't even criticising her.

There's nothing here. It's just that easy to provoke a kneejerk reaction from anti-trans whiners, and then to get media outlets to comment on it.

He's not going to acknowledge any of that. Went a few pages with him about a shockingly similar set of tweets he claimed "advocated censoring Bayonetta"

So the argument is it doesn't count because the people aren't well known enough and it's just a fringe minority, the same kind of fringe minority that keeps pushing some of the more insane things and helped build and reinforce the narrative of J.K. Rowling being a terf etc etc etc.

The argument is it doesn't count because there's literally nothing there. 1 tweet, which isn't even accusatory in the slightest. Is that all we need to proclaim an "outrage" now?

...And a bunch of outrage-mongers exaggerating that to whine about trans people.

Surely every Tweet and Reddit post is representative of the progressive hive mind. And everything their opponents say on whatever-chan is true no questions or citations needed.

So the plan to fix supply chains in America is now for the party of Science to ignore the idea of bridge weight limits............

Why it's how outrages against Mad Max Fury Road was previously proclaimed by the woke side. I mean it was one obscure site basically no-one had heard of.

One youtuber refusing to cover Ghostbusters 2016 cause a massive amount of anger from the press.

Turnabout is fair play.

So you're saying there actually isn't "outrage" about Adele saying that, and you only said there was to mirror what other people said about other things?

OK then.

Oh

If the entirety of US presidents have taught me anything its that they dont believe in bridges

The second thing would be that they love kicking the can down the road until it's worse than broken and killed thousands. Eg. FLINT which still hasn't had the water fixed after 4 presidents

Ok, so not only do I know for sure that this was already posted (weeks ago), but the last time time it came up it was pointed out that the tweet isn't saying "we're disregarding weight limits because we're thickie-boo-boos", but rather that the infrastructure bill would repair/replace said bridges so we wouldn't have to worry about over-filling old, worn out bridges (and causing them to collapse).

Stop using common sense on Dwarvenhobble's feeble attempts to make Democrats look stupid. It's not fair!
