Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

It’s what follows the signifiers that’s the tell

I would be willing to bet my house that he would never do it. Once trump is out the establishment dems will trip over themselves (and dead kids in Gaza) to restore decorum

Yes, using the word “capitalism” is a signifier, but I wouldn’t say it’s counterproductive. Based on a person’s response you can quickly conclude whether they have the historical context to understand the critique. Defining capitalism as “a market-based” system is ahistorical , markets existed before capitalism. It is very hard to surface the critique while also writing a wall of text that describes how capitalism came to be and how it was later moderated

The issue is the term is meaningless if it isn’t grounded in history. If it simply means “the system you live in” then it says nothing of how it came to be and what can come after.

And if we had universal healthcare it would actually be cheaper to produce those cars. Canada is proof of this.

You could say the same of history if you know nothing about it

I find it funny the Americans still think they are on top because of their relative “quality of living” to an impoverished state. May the century of humiliation commence!

“Oil is flowing” they say while our emergency oil reserves are at an all time low. “They will have a missile logistics problem” they say while our own missiles are practically depleted. “It’s about endurance” as our sailors try to kill themselves. It’s existential for Iran, they are not going to surrender.

There are far more conservatives in academia than actual leftists. And there are more liberals in academia than both groups combined. See Catherine Liu for an example of an actual leftist in academia who speaks on this dynamic.

I’m sure Bibi gave them a stern lecture and then took them out for ice cream after

Because it would be immensely stupid

Maybe we can’t but climate change could.

Talk about a loss for all those who voted for irresponsible use of AI /s

And “States” when some are barely

This is what share holder value looks like.

A billionaire never gave my kids free books. She was a millionaire and while she wasn’t a socialist she didn’t forget she was working class.

Sounds like job security to me

He did not get the majority of votes. He got the most votes. There is a difference and the former highlights one of the flaws in our electoral system.
