  • Hmm…I swear behavior like this, in a bigger pattern of state persecution of a group of people has a very specific name.

    It’s like when you control, slaughter, dehumanize an “out group”—man! Why can’t I think of the word! It’s like “gentle-…something” which is ironic because the behavior of the oppressor is so barbaric and inhuman. Damn! Why can’t I recall this word!

    Like, the nazis did it, you know what I mean? Now, I might be wrong here, but this story has some connection to the nazis too. Can’t put my finger on that either.

    Oh, right.

    ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A FUCKING GENOCIDE.


  • But it’s who’s hurting. When the solution involves making the poor suffer more for the better of the economy…you think that’s the right solution?

    I’m not going to pretend to know much about the Argentinian economy. But using the basic tenets of my moral worldview, I have to say I disagree. But hen again, I am incredibly uninformed about the history of politics in Argentina. And I will say, what I learned from my Argentinian friends while living in South America, I would have to assume the problem is similar to other countries in South America (and in NYC)—it’s not the structure, but the string of corrupt assholes who take advantage of the position when they get in power. That story is not unique to anywhere in the world. Power corrupts people. So I’m going to, again, share my kind a uninformed opinion and say I would assume corruption has been the problem, not that the poor people weren’t getting screwed hard enough.
