What else am I going to do with my time, read a book? I can't even read an article!

Can we not? MTG could look like Sofia Vergara and she'd still be an ugly piece of shit. All commenting on her appearance does here is make decent people feel bad about themselves. Transphobia doesn't suddenly become acceptable because you're trying to turn it back on somebody evil.

NY post needs to hire some copy editors. That article does not flow at all.

Not to put too fine a point on it but whose fault is that?

Plastic bags work fine. Preferably zip lock baggies. ALSO keep them in the freezer. One time we wound up with jenkem on Accident and you don't want jenkem. It's illegal and believe me, Nobody can do That Much jenkem.

Why would the poors join up if their families didn't need Tricare? The bennies are a primary draw, they can't hand that shit out to everyone

At least we try to keep it in check and don't deny it happens.

but that's what you just did in your defense of RCMP?

ACAB is a slogan. It's not factual in the strictest sense but it captures a truth. Statistically speaking, there is at least one good cop. Maybe even two. Real Andy Griffith, Carlton Lassiter types. Their existence does not change the fact that the system is rotten to the very core, and their tacit support for that system makes them bastards, even if they themselves have never abused anyone or covered for a colleague's malpractice. Good cops exist, but they don't last very long.

And as the sibling comment pointed out, institutionally speaking the RCMP is a god awful example if you're trying to make a case for good cops.

You might not see this, but someone else will: Neoliberalism has a definition, and it's not "fake leftist." When you find yourself calling Bernie Sanders, of all people, a neoliberal for advocating for voting for a neoliberal in an election against a fascist you need to take a step back and seriously ask yourself if you are lost in the sauce. If you do not know your enemy you will struggle to fight them.

"Everyone is a neoliberal except me"

If you can't properly identify ideology how can you expect to have meaningful conversations about it?

without looking it up what is neoliberalism and how is it different from social democracy or, indeed, liberalism?
