LBJ didn’t come out against anti-miscegenation laws, but he also didn’t kinda sort halfway come out for them. Biden could have simply said nothing on the subject, or that it was none of his business. That was an option. This is absolute cowardice.
“we must ask if [Swift’s] personal life choices are ones we want our sisters and daughters to emulate. This might sound like pearl-clutching preaching, but it's a concern rooted in sound reasoning”
You know the drill. Seize this sanctimonious prick’s secret burner phone and prepare to be horrified

You said they are “neighbors” and that a “battle” between them ensued after 10/7. This is incorrect, as all Palestinian land is ostensibly sovereign Israeli territory. The “battle” is a military siege against an un-armed civilian populace. These are not in any way equal parties, as you imply.
Taiwan in its current form only exists because of aggressive, generational western meddling in the South China Sea. There was never any internationally recognized system at play there. Only the typical western neocolonialism that China has reluctantly tolerated for a time.
Placebo democracy is merely the delivery mechanism for planet-destroying western capitalism. Every country that goes capitalist brings us closer to the brink.
In one of our great national parks recently I kept seeing bagged poop that somehow didn’t make it into a trash can. Just sitting out there in nature like a shit time capsule.
My wife was worried a few years ago that my anti-capitalist activism would cause me stress, but lately she’s asking me how I can remain so calm with “all this” going on.
