Everyone is equally untrustworthy. All politicians lie, so Trump is really just like everyone else. North Korea and the US both violate civil rights, so they’re equivalent.

I’ve never heard of thecradle.co, but now I know not to trust their news reporting.

Chickens are going to have to up their game.

Good to know the WSWS isn’t against violence on principle, just who it should be directed at.

I hope once the Socialist Equality Party finally gets a foothold on political power in the US they can make further progress by running their opponents out of town.

We will only be truly free when our ideas are free from interference by others.

They’re including new billionaires. How much of the growth is a natural consequence of inflation pushing a lot of millionaires over the threshold? It would be better to measure the wealth of the top x% to get a consistent idea of wealth growth than use some arbitrary cutoff that jumps suddenly from only a small increase.

You’re not so big.

I see what you did there.

You’re not the boss of me now.

“apart” has almost an opposite meaning to “a part” in this context, though “apart from” would make more sense than “apart of.”

Shirley Jackson didn’t write any stories about towns where nothing happens. Survival of the fittest twist.

My girlfriend woke up last night to find an anaconda on her leg.

Yes, she mocks me for calling it that.

Anything from mozzies to Ozzies.

What’s a good example of a communist country?

I would prefer to read only news sources that support the actions of autocratic regimes if their government is mostly run by non-whites.

Now that you’ve realized the pride’s arrived, we got to pump the stuff to make us tough.

What we need is to concentrate power into the hands of a single benevolent ruler with absolute authority. I suggest Winnie the Pooh.

It was an “experiment” in the same sense that Mengele was doing medical experiments. Fines and penalties on paper; forced abortions and sterilizations in practice.

I believe credit for the first occurrence goes back to Ferdinand Magellan. Although he himself did not have the procedure, his crew did after his death in 1521.

This is a tricky debate, with mostly religious and traditionalist people on one side, and people against unnecessary surgical procedures on the other. Either way, I think once the foreskin is removed, it should be treated as medical waste.
