If Mort Divine ruled the world

I called a Crowder fan a "dickrider" and this is how he responded, haha:

I almost never get into shit with people on Facebook anymore, being reminded why.

I think he means “false defianitions.”

You're defiantly correct.

 

[no country for old wainds]

hopefully now you've learned your lesson and will never disparage the skills of the great jae crowder ever again.

who is this dude

The lead dude with that whole "groyper" thing, those young American nationalists that went around to all the Turning Point USA events trolling the speakers.

Guess I'm really out of the loop on this one. Yay

you guys see the response from BLM on Cuba? I saw a bunch of crap saying AOC and her crew haven't said anything about Cuba yet, not sure if that's changed by now

Pretty expected statement tbh.

 

[Einherjar86]

I mean, there is a difference between pledging support to the Cuban people and pledging support to the Cuban regime. The BLM letter clearly does the former.

This isn't to deny the government's treatment of its citizens; but I feel like a lot of conservatives are going out of their way to paint the statement as hypocritical because it apologizes for human rights violations in Cuba. I don't read it that way. And it is true that geopolitical treatment of Cuba by the liberal West has been a factor in their current economic situation.

Communism may or may not be a viable national system, but in the case of Cuba it's impossible to really tell since the U.S. and other superpowers have meddled in their affairs since the '60s.

At the same time, doctors and engineers moonlight as cabbies in Cuba because wages for those careers are abysmal. I don't think it's a stretch of the imagination to assume devoid of U.S. meddling their brand of communism *would function.

Edit: I meant to say *wouldn't.

Agreed. I don't think we should elevate Cuba as an emblem of functioning state socialism. But the utter fanaticism with which US conservatives rail against socialism/communism is frightening in its own right, and has led to significant geopolitical turmoil, which has made it more difficult for Cuba and other socialist countries to trade internationally.

All that aside, what's happening now goes beyond the US embargo, so it's disingenuous to reduce it to that for sure.

I saw this a few days ago. Ben insists he gets it, but that in this case "the windmills are real," or something like that. The guy's a hack.

I kinda feel like we can place significant blame on one country for this in the 1940's or so...us backing away from Europe while another preyed on it seems like a significant piece you should be adding here

and I guess you could shift to our engtanglement in (east) Asia, but our influence didn't do much to those countries

All this shit happening surrounding Matt Gaetz is entertaining as fuck. His future sister-in-law is on TikTok calling him a creepy pedo, then later came out to apologise for using the wrong word, he's actually "a ephebophile."
