My point is you are using a highly biased and bigoted source. Hence my saying you are using a highly biased and bigoted source.

What I am looking for is someone not willing to give bigots page views. Sadly, that is not you. You’re fine with promoting the bigots because you’ve decided one of their articles is bias-free. Which makes me wonder what your own feelings are about things like queer people and Ukrainians are.

Edit: also, Holocaust denial. RT pushes that too. Huh… Just like Stormfront!

I’d be fine with that too, to be honest. It’s a social construct anyway for the most part. We could all agree to eliminate the concept of gender entirely if we wanted to and very little in terms of anything significant would change.

So one single article out of the who knows how many sources on the entire planet you could have gone with was biased, so you went straight to the bigoted Russian state-run media.

And the fact that you think a single NYT article proves your point is ludicrous.

What exactly do you think people with long-term care should be doing? Telling insurance companies to fuck off and finding a hospital that will treat them with a price they can afford? Hope they’re rich. Or should they just die?

I have two chronic illnesses, one of which will almost certainly never be cured. Was I supposed to just ignore that because America has a fucked-up capitalist healthcare system? Because I’m not rich, so my only other two options as far as I could see would be voting or (in my case) living with even more intense pain than I am already in every waking moment of my life.

It’s very easy to say “we let them do this to us” when you’re not the one constantly needing medical care.

The kind that shows when your source is already ridiculously biased and also very bigoted, expecting someone to even give any of the articles the time of day just in case there are no errors or biased reporting is just silly.

RT is highly biased and very bigoted.
Stormfront is highly biased and very bigoted.

Are some of their articles factually accurate? Possibly. Why should anyone give them the attention?

Because they’re racists and they want to be able to blame Asian people.

Someone remind me who is in charge of the U.S. government again and what their feelings are on China and who they picked to run HHS…

Looking forward to you posting an article from Stormfront and asking the same question.

other articles are really biased

This is sarcasm, right?

So did I. And weirdly it kept getting faster and faster.

Arms races are rarely won by anyone.

I’m not attempting to know anything about him. The person I talked to said that he stopped a mass murderer. He didn’t because the mass murderer is UHC. He cut the toenail off a mass murderer and UHC is still around and doing exactly what they had been doing.

“Maybe possibly the serial killer will be stopped if we just make people aware they exist” is nonsense.

And I have no idea how people can live in a capitalist system all of their lives and not understand that everyone in a corporation is expendable, from top to bottom.

This has nothing to do with his motivations and everything to do with all the people thinking that somehow if enough CEOs are murdered, the Republican-dominated government will embrace socialism. It’s ridiculous.

Using the same tools these non-cops are using anyway? Because that’s what happened. Non-cops were able to figure this out and keep tabs on these people without some sort of secret surveillance network.

So many people see the world in black and white terms.

No idea who that is, sorry.

I can consider that reality. I just don’t think that reality is even remotely likely in this case.

Your lying about me (couching it in “seem to”) and your unprovoked incivility are also both noted.

I do not give bigotry the benefit of the doubt and try to be nice to the person being bigoted. Especially when it’s a teacher being bigoted to a student, something that happens constantly. Something that I saw myself regularly in school.

Edit: Incidentally, this is a whole lot like people excusing Elon’s Nazi salute as a Roman salute or him being “autistic” and getting too excited.

I thought that meant he supported Caesar because it’s a Roman salute!

(And I do like how people saying that seem to forget that the Romans were also genocidal and also enslaved people.)

You sure as fuck can get them to keep an eye on such people if they were willing to do so.

Can they do it better or do they just make the effort?

I have probably spent the equivalent of weeks since this genocide began working with JVP, spending 4-5 hours a week making phone calls, sending form emails, showing up to my representative’s district office and talk directly to his staff, etc. I am dealing with two chronic illnesses and a bunch of other shit and I can still make the time and the effort. Other than going to their office, I would barely call it effort.

And every single time I ask people like this what they have done, they either don’t answer or do what this moron I am mentioning just did a few minutes ago and claim that if they say what they are doing, it would get rid of their anonymity.

They clearly aren’t willing to even send the form letters I mentioned, despite them being readily available, complete with lists of email and snail mail addresses to send them to. Sending one a month would be more than they are currently doing.
