Hexagons

I'm saying that if sufficient infrastructure exists then it's fine to just ban SUVs entirely because they're not necessary.

I think I'm a big dumdum because I didn't realize until literally this comment that this is the other, better, non-carbrained solution. I was over here like "so what, you just want people with SUV's to decide of their own accord not to drive them into downtown because suddenly they realize they're bad people for doing so? Never gonna happen."

But now that I see your much better idea, simply ban all SUVs from Paris, I'm entirely on board! I do think that's going to be a harder law to pass than hiking parking fees, but it would definitely be a much better one!

But "Zionist" doesn't mean the same thing anymore, and I bet he doesn't fully grasp what he's identifying with in a modern sense.

So we're in the position where a sitting US president is making speeches using words he doesn't understand? Wow, that does not seem great. Maybe we should have a president who knows what words mean, you know?

Also, I have to admit, I don't care if someone has genocide as a goal or not. I care a bit more about their actions. Will a person's actions lead to more genocide? If so, then I think that person should be removed from power, immediately, regardless of what they think about genocide.

OP, why did you post this? What do you hope people reading will get out of it?

Why didn't you link the original source: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/27/18859198.php

Did you notice that the text sounds like it was written by a bad ai?

If I were a little more cynical, I'd say you're posting this because you want people to read the headline, think to themselves "China bad", then move on with their day, doing no more investigation into the matter.

If the above paragraph was not your intention, please explain to me what exactly you were hoping to achieve here.

I probably could have found a better source, but I'm on mobile and famously terrible at doing stuff on phones. Oh well

I'm not surprised they walked it back. They've pulled the classic "new coke" trick here: put out something deeply terrible no one will ever agree to, then walk it back pretty significantly to something still shitty and exploitative, but not as bad as what you had threatened. Your customers feel like this is a win, but they're still stuck with a worse deal than before the beginning of the debacle.

I try to stay civil outside hexbear, but this post is testing my resolve on that. Are you really so treat-brained that you're ok with forcing children to mine cobalt so you can have a smartphone?

You should take some time and think about whether that's really the kind of person you want to be

As far left as you can go, huh? I'd suggest trying to push that envelope a little bit. Instead of being disappointed/mad/sad that rich people aren't looking out for other people, try asking why rich people exist in the first place? Where did their wealth come from? And should they be allowed to keep it?

He's right though, the song is basically saying "life is hard for conservative cishet white men because of the got dang politicians taxing us", and that's a fundamentally reactionary view of the world.

If you want recommendations for good, actually working class country songs, might I recommend Woodie Guthrie? Or Peggy Seeger? They're a little more on the folk side, but they're really good.
