    Funny events in anti-woke world

    That he may be, but in NL as many other places, we probably need to be concerned that people seem to think that the best alternative to the right is the far right.

    Ukraine

    No, I don't think it's a lost cause. I don't think Ukraine can necessarily recover all its lost territories, but the West can certainly help it mitigate the loss, and overall the West should. I think a lot of Western citizens do not trust, or are even outright hostile to, their own governments...

    If DeSantis wins

    Why not also buy a lovely beachfront property that is at no risk at all from rising sea levels because climate change is a lie?

    Because of course there's nothing else better a school could think of that it could do with $700,000.

    Ukraine

    I think there's a lot of people who want us to believe that - nearly all of them are people who oppose or resent the USA and EU.

    Funny Events of the "Woke" world

    He's not going to fix Argentina. He's just another populist, right-wing arsehole who said a lot of stuff on the campaign trail he's not actually going to do, and will probably rig the system and suppress political dissent to try to keep himself in office.

    Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter may soon go through

    His grip is wrong: it's not a sledgehammer to need that sort of grip (well, situationally, someone might occasionally do that). That grip makes the wrist rigid and slow - swords should be deft and fast. I'd agree that it seems to be a one-handed sword too: just the blade length suggests that, as...

    Mass shooting in Main

    But this isn't remotely the same thing. A supermajority vote may prevent a law being passed that the people want. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'll scrap the supermajority vote, because they have to weigh that decision against the possibility of all sorts of other laws being more easily...

    He's also holding the sword wrongly.

    Oregon Backlash To Decriminalizing Hard Drugs

    I mean, this is a fascinating claim, because there's a vast amount of thought out there on anti-capitalism. "Anti-capitalism" is a very broad umbrella term covering a lot of different ideas and strategies. Some of this is tearing down capitalism and rebuilding from scratch (and that's the view...

    Oregon Backlash To Decriminalizing Hard Drugs

    Yes, well, isn't that the issue? To a lot of conservatives, progress is transgressive.

    If you mean did I mistakenly say infections instead of mortality, yes I'm happy to admit that. And thank you for realising it was an inadvertent error and being constructive about it.

    Funny Events of the "Woke" world

    Er, suicides are deaths, so reporting them as deaths is highly appropriate. Suicides are also violence, so reporting them as violence is also appropriate. I think what you mean is that reporting suicides with other deaths in a manner which implies they are homicides is misrepresentation, and I...

    Oregon Backlash To Decriminalizing Hard Drugs

    Which progressive ideas? He seems to repeatedly attack most policies aligned with those typical to current progressivism: pro-abortion, liberalised drug policy, anti-capitalism, transgender rights, affirmative action and frankly sort of even pro-Trumpish. Honestly, I find it incredibly hard to...
