American Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.
Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.
Realistically any Libertarian dedicated enough to show up to a party conference is probably a member of the 1% of the US population that votes for them in general elections.
Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.
Casablanca. Its a classic.
Plenty of people rooted for the Lions and they wore brown bags over their heads.
Trump lost and people are still buying flags and hats.
I think we’ll be stuck with this cult for awhile.
I wouldn’t be so confident that his support will wane. People love a martyr and thats what hes protraying himself as.
All that isnt to say he shouldn’t be prosecuted, but I’d expect his support to jump in the short term.
They’re campists; they can’t understand any level of moral complexity.
Anyone who opposes the US is inherently good, because surely the west is the only one that can be imperialistic.
Mozilla is a non profit. The most "capitalist" they get is the Mozilla Corp a company owned by the foundation which is basically just for tax purposes. Having a big player in the fediverse helps.
My day is made immeasurably better by Jim Jordan's failure. This entertainment is surely the best thing he's ever done for the country.
At least one member said they were switching from McCarthy to Jordan on the second vote, so sadly we're probably not going to get a revolt.
The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.
That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.
