They probably couldn't get it to draw a character that convincingly moved like a healthy person for long enough to be protagonist. They think that they're cleverly turning a technical limitation into award show bait but it will probably be terribly insulting to actual people with cerebral palsy.
only a 3/4 majority you say? Im sure we'd use it all the time. The same forces that turned the federal Supreme Court into what it is aren't at work at the state level right?
The position criticized in the tweet is that people don't care about workers in poverty now because they imagine a future in which that worker has a better job, and they forget about the person then put in poverty working the first position. The point is that the imagined future does nothing to help the real person suffering now nor reduce overall suffering even if it were realized.
Your imagined future of automated post scarcity has the reduced overall suffering part but it does nothing for people still waiting for their shitty jobs to be automated. You also don't suggest any way of enforcing an equitable distribution of this automatic production rather than allowing it to be owned by the same people who own everything now, who have chosen to structure the current economy to keep so many in poverty.
The YHWH these people worship is no more or less than the personification of their own bigotry. To hate your lesser is to love god. To murder your lesser is to worship god. Any difference or misfortune whatsoever makes you lesser. Trump is an ideal Christian leader for the form of Christianity actually practiced in the US.
The ability to kill leviathans would make the game incredibly boring. Anyone asking for that has no idea what they actually want. Its like complaining that you can't just shoot the xenonorph in alien isolation. The tension is the thing you enjoy fool.
There was a very good interview with some people from the KY Tennants union on the latest trillbillies. They made an interesting case that there's more radical potential in tenant organizing than labor organizing within the US. I think both are necessary for longterm goals of the left but their position that immediate concessions might be more easily gained that way I found hard to argue with.
I agree. Conditions do seem to point that way, but widespread breakdown of the monopoly on violence within the mainland US seems more like a long term possibility as of now. Something like short-lived regional strife or economic collapse on an already neglected island teritory seems like a more likely near or medium term point on that trajectory.
If it happens it will be less like the first US civil war and more like Libya or Syria or what USreal wants for Iran. Dozens of little nonstate factions fighting in an incoherent free for all of violence that breaks down the existing state and prevents new ones from forming.
Can the guest workers leave at a moments notice? My ignorant vibes based westerner impression was that their situation was extremely draconian and essentially indentured servitude. I distinctly remember stories about passports being confiscated on arrival.
And Brennan Clements watched the whole thing and won't ever tell a soul.
