Cnn and msnbc are not left.
Everytime a real lefty comes along they lose their mind.
Thats how bad america is right now.
CNN is considered left.

Or left of Thadeus, which makes me wonder if he is deep into Authoratarian right or he just feels the need to attack lefists because heâs been heavily radicalized by his family, friends, Facebook or his faith.
The only people this radicalized in America are Trump supporters and insurrectionsits. Not even BLM and itâs supposed Authoritarian left views are as radicalized in hate as Trumpers and the alt-right are. Thadeus sounds like Greg Locke every time he posts. I also consider Greg Locke to be a religious nutcase.

You just ignored every fact I gave and went on separate tangents. And your last line was spoken like a true ideologue.
It looks to me like CNN and MSNBC are more moderate lefties losing their minds over less moderate lefties. The problem is the center in politics is not a fixed point. Over decades, the center has shifted further to the left (for example; do you think centrists in the 1960âs would support gay marriage, abortion on demand and open borders?)
And youâre loudly opinionated about topics of which you are completely ignorant of. Then get all miffed when people donât softball your completely illogical takes.
Saying racism is bad and that LGBT people should have human rights isnât a Leftist idea.

Now youâre just flinging insults and not even trying to make a counter-argument against the facts I presented. Opposing racism and wanting human rights for LBGT people is not all that leftism is, nor is it exclusive to the left wing, and you know it.
Side note: marriage is not a human right, as children and close relatives cannot and should not be married.
Is this leading into a bad hot take on why marriage is not a human right and should not be extended to same sex marriage, because I hope you are not going there.
I hope we are all against incest and child marriage. Despite left or right affiliations. To my knowledge there is not a single North American political party wanting to legalize incest or child marriage so why are you even bringing this up as a topic? This is a strawman.

Well in less controversial fair have you seen The Boys finale yet?
Caught it last night at midnight as todayâs too busy. It wasnt bad but imho I was kinda dissapointed.
I think its the libetarian side of my wokeness but bucher should have stuck with Maive and taken down Homelander first.
Soldier Boy could have been managed afterwards.
But season 4 is going to be interesting.
I would say the right has gone so right that anything to their left seems insane.
Nixon set up the EPA.
That would be unthinkable by modern republicans⊠not only that⊠they have declared war on this organization.
Thats how bad it is.
Whoâs the next commie america hating socialist? Reagan?

I mean. Iâve got a close friend whoâs older brother works there, so Iâve been to Disney World more than is typical and I can pretty definitively say itâs a very diverse crowd. In general I think the malevolence of the Disney conglomerate and Walt Disney himself are vastly overstated and are there mainly because theyâre a universally familiar brand who have a sort of creepy Orwellian approach to their own history.
Like Iâve plenty of bile for Warner Bros. but I respect them for not hiding the racist media of decades past. You can still find their WW2 propaganda stuff for example while Disney will loudly pretend itâs never heard of Song Of The South.
That being said though their history isnât particularly that sordid. Not compared to say Ford or IBM or Chiquita International and then youâve NestlĂ©, whoâs continued existence remains baffling.
Theyâre a weird company to get worked up about imo.

No spoliers my internet is down 
Thankfully that didnât spoil anything but I want to talk about the new episode back up and I can watch it.
Nestle is the worst. I used to work for them. Their CEO doesnât think water is a basic human right and wants to privatize it, that is peak late stage capitalist extreemism. Meanwhile Flint still has no clean water.
Instead of smuggling drugs thereâs a Canada to USA pipline that smuggles in distilled clean water. There was a CBC documentary on a woman named Cindy McNeil who smuggles water to the US.

Yeah Iâm confused how theyâre allowed to ya know, exist.
Once youâve called one pile of malnourished dead babies ya should probably just be revoked. Theyâve drained reservoirs to sell the water back to people. How we allow that as a species remains just baffling.

In other news my attempt to conquer the Spanish language continues with mixed results. Damn impediment keeps flaring up and more than once Iâve refereed to a bakery as Pandaria. PanaderĂa is the word Iâm looking for and I remember it because it looks like Pandaria to me. Unfortunately Iâll just blirt out Pandaria. Which tbf would probably be a decent place to get fresh baked bread.

They really made me like Noir in the last episode. I hope he gets to be the one to take out soldier boy. I really liked his internal cartoon monologue. I want to see more of it. He sees himself as a âblacksheepâ to Soldier Boyâs Bald Eagle, I like that kind of nuance.
I wonder who Homelanderâs mom is. With his mommy issues are they going to bring her in at some point?
Everything about Disney adults is cringe but yeah people requesting characters that look like isnât really unreasonable.
Demographics are kinda all over the place in the USA. In Chicago for example even when Iâm in a room with exclusively other caucasians, none of us will be the same type of caucasian and itâs not even remarkable to have ancestries from evert continent in the same room. If you ever go to court for a traffic ticket here itâll look like the UN.
But thereâs also quite a few extremely homogenous areas. Typically not by accident what with redlining and the whole white flight thing. So depending on where Iâm headed I can be either the only white guy or the only one whoâs surname ends with a vowel depending on which direction Iâm going.
And then youâll stumble into a town thats like 70% WASP and 30% Chinese because immigrant communities set down roots everywhere. Kind of an ethnic grabbag.
Suffice to say one of the reasons so many Americans are monolingual or duolingual is because itâs a complete toss up. Spanish is typically the most useful but you could easily find yourself in a neighborhood where Urdu or Lithuanian would be useful.

North America is a huge melting pot we have a bunch of communites. Multiculturalism isnât so scary plus you get to experience some of the best food in the world.
Iâm seeing Nigerian and West Afican dishes everywhere and I would love to try some of the food, it looks and smells delicious.
As a caucasian, if you are nice, we could âget invited to the cookoutâ Iâd poltely help with dishes if they share some food with me.
All my people have are potatoes, thereâs only so much you can do with a potato.

Working construction in Chicago taught me the Tower Of Babel was complete BS. Because I was one of 3 Americans. The vast majority were either Latino or Slavic immigrants. But then you had West Africans, Southeast Asians, Southwest Asians, Middle Easterners, and the odd Korean thrown in as well.
Suffice to say you can communicate a lot with hand gestures and facial expressions.

One of my favorite movies is Babel
Itâs about a white American couple on a tourist trip to Morocco, the wife accidentally gets shot by a stray bullet a young boy fired.
Thier kids are with the Mexican nanny who is forced to bring the kids with her to Mexico for her sons wedding.
This movie is absolutely heatbreaking, but the fundimentals are, we are all human and all deserve compassion.
