If Mort Divine ruled the world

[CiG]

I was specifically addressing rape kits.

 

[Einherjar86]

I see. The original quote specifies sexual assault nurses, does it not? That implies more than just a rape kit.

See below:

But surely rape kits don't work like "Hmm, yep, there was definitely sexual intercourse, it was rape".

Anyway.

Watching some Quebecois friends talk about their recent elections, is it just me or is "populism wins again" possibly the most redundant phrase in recent political discourse? Oh really, the politician/political party with the most popular manifesto won the election? I'm utterly shocked, damn you populism!

Which only makes the false positive more confusing.

 

[Einherjar86]

I apologize; I only saw the quote, but missed the link to the original story.

Our best and brightest. The cream of the crop of leftist academia right here.

Please, she's a neo-con in all else but political persuasion.

 

[CiG]

Are you saying you can't be left-wing and support foreign interventionism?

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Dude, c'mon. You've gotta be at least a little bit Marxist if you want to be in the "leftist academia" club. The left isn't the Democratic party.

 

[CiG]

Trotskyists are notorious interventionists though.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Obsession with left-axis identity politics = you're probably at least a little bit leftist

 

[The Ozzman]

Marxism is cancer

 

[CiG]

Marksism is cooler.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Dak did you already post this?

Well, yeah. It's literally what makes Trotskyists Trotskyist. The drone warfare campaign is hardly a comparable form of intervention, however. Quite the opposite: the entire situation taken into account, it's exactly the type of intervention Marxists, Trotskyists or otherwise, would criticize--well, aside from the nihilists who see it as not only symptomatic of but also abetting to America's downfall.

Define Marxism.

 

[The Ozzman]

Define Marxism

Define common sense gun laws/control first

Self-described Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens would have disagreed but whatever, if you want to live in a world where you think only right-wingers support shit like that, so be it.

Just look at all the Obama supporters who kept silent when he sanctioned drone strikes to know that there are leftists who implicitly support it.

 

[CiG]

Many people on all sides implicitly support things they usually openly oppose, but to pretend as if there isn't some kind of meeting in the middle of neocons and trots when it comes to interventionism is fucking ridiculous.

And now BO is shifting the goalposts because drones are more right-wing, as if that's the standard for whether you're neocon-esque.

Kill whitey

I've done this for you a couple of times already. My views on permit and buying processes, handguns, "scary-looking" semi-automatic rifles, and ownership rights haven't changed.

Self-descriptions don't always pass litmus tests.

I didn't say either of those things.

 

[CiG]

Sure thing.
