Just because it’s not CNN or the NYT saying it (they would never go against the state department unless public opinion has already massively shifted) doesn’t mean it’s a bad source.

Le monde is one of the most “reputable” sources in Europe and they’re corroborating, is a good source only a US source? For a conflict on the other side of the world? There’s literally video evidence of the kidnappings.

The funny thing is, there’s more of a symbiotic relationship between us and plants.

Those plants that exhibited favorable traits for human consumption were carried far from their native ecosystem and through biome barriers they couldn’t have otherwise. In the same way peppers with capsaicin (which allowed birds/reptiles to eat and spread them around while deterring mammals that would otherwise ruin the seed) became more successful, wheat, corn and other grasses became more successful when the kernels got bigger because it encouraged humans to harvest those and maybe keep some for later/spread them around.

Plants may not have any agency but the fact is some of them evolved traits that made this upright monkey eventually toil away to guarantee their reproduction year after year.

That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it’s a protein in sauce served over rice, what’s even weird about it?

In fact, the Democrats since the 60’s have run campaigns WAY against the threat of late-stage Capitalism.

Bruh what world are you living in lmao. Obama reached to bankers uncaringly tanking the global economy by giving them money to do with as they wished (and, as always, they wished to give themselves a bonus).

This. As long as they have a base big and dumb enough to buy any and every excuse to go further right (and blame progressives for it), they’ll keep doing it.

He was also very concerned about how completely unhinged the CIA was and how it operated with total impunity. No such concerns from any president since, somehow.

“We should vote for Strasser instead of Hitler because they’ll both kill the Jews anyway, but Stresser would be better for us”

Man, Americans really are way too comfortable supporting a genocide as long as they don’t have to be reminded too often.

This is what the democrats have always been, just now they stopped pretending to care about people abroad or the issues that matter to the voters (and not the donors) and surprisingly that’s still good enough for the blue no matter who crowd.
