    What a bizarre and shitty take.

    Is every citizen of a country entirely responsible for the worst actions of its government? Aren’t like half the posts on .ml about how awful and unresponsive to the will of the governed countries are?

    I’ve been tear gassed and shot at by cops for the better part of the last few decades, am I responsible for the actions the government was taking despite my opposition? And not everyone can be in the streets either and the right place for those that can’t can be art. We need people making making dissident media to spread the message.








  • I agree, but I don’t think the article is really about the Atlantic’s commitment to creating meaningful change. I think it hits on something important though, which is that those who were most ardently combatting climate change have now pivoted to other political topics or backslid on their commitments.

    Climate change is as important as ever but a lot of people on the ground and those in power can’t seem to give a shit.




  • I actually find the fact that becoming a more militarized wartime state has induced similar instances of violence in Russia to be really interesting. Up until this point, most other countries assumed there was something unique about US culture that resulted in school shootings, but showing some sort of hypothetical link between wartime mobilization and mass violence is interesting and the US interventionism has only been increasing along with their mass shootings.





  • neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.

    It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I’m gonna take a wild guess you don’t like foreign aid.

    maintain demographics

    There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.

    Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?
