She was expecting to be judged by the color of her skin, not the content of her character.

They cannot "lose" this because the doing is the reason why they are doing it.

It can be "lost", but that will only happen because of other people not doing what they should have been doing: which is joining in. I can only be lost because of moral sabotage (ala the Vietnam reason).

The point is to feel good and powerful and strong while enjoying consequence-free murder of brown Muslim people.

So many people are willingly deciding to not see what the Republicans are.

It's one of the oldest sexist frames: women are defined only by how they are related to men.

FYI, Obama was black.

I hope that explains things for you about how your complaints are just demonstrations of your continued failure to understand the *very consistent thinking* behind *very consistent* Republican behavior.

Yes. You understand.

You.

The answer is that it is you who is stupid.

The question being:

"Your attempts to stop us from making poor decisions hasn't worked yet, we keep making them! So your strategy is the problem."

People really love to pretend that the point of Capitalism isn't to get more Capital.

If you're unaware, "Rapist" when said by a right-winger is basically just code-speech for "non-whites."

Probably because they were devised by placing money in a higher position of importance than humans.

No, what Russia is doing is absolutely a war crime.

Ukraine has shown (as far as I know) *amazing* self-restraint in responding to such crimes.

But that self-restraint is so impressive because retaliation is so understandable a response.

It's perfectly understandable for a Nation State to commit war crimes when war crimes are being committed upon said Nation State.

It doesn't justify such behavior -war crimes are war crimes- but let us no pretend that it is somehow incomprehensible or beyond the pale.

War is bad.

That's *literally* why they're fighting: to be the biggest bully on the block.

There are several USA-based sites that won't let you onto them if you're coming from Europe due to (I believe) different privacy requirements in the EU vs USA. Have to VPN to see 'em.

The poor always suffer because of the desires of the wealthy.

Thankfully there are so many wealthy people in Dubai that they'll just be able to buy more food when it runs out.

The car in question, of course, is being used to run over people no matter how its steered.

The moral solution to the trolley problem is to not step on the trolley that you know is going to run over people.

They're fully-grown adults.

They are responsible for their own behavior.
