    Blizarian?

    Bruh, did you work for Harris campaign?

    Because the people you pick to hold up a megaphone for, are worse then Liz Cheney and the right wing assholes her campaign kept parading around.

    There is a metric shit ton of people who agree with you and we should all be listening too

    But fuck that piece of shit for all the typical reason a rightwing influencer sucks.




  • Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling

    You’re so stuck in a capitalist mindset that you view people being “unemployable” as a personal failure on their part, rather than a success of society as a whole…

    Were you out there screaming “think of the children” and “they can do anything they put their mind to” when people banded together to say maybe 7 year old children don’t have to work in the fucking coal mines anymore?


  • Last names weren’t really a thing until very recently in human history.

    That’s why a lot of last names are places or jobs.

    You were Chris the Farmer, or Chris from Cleveland. And when your king wanted a last name to tax you more accurately, you likely didn’t give a fuck and just said whatever.

    But the thing is people would say names/jobs in different languages.

    An immigrant from Germany who spoke mostly German would say “My name is John Deutsch”. if they were fluent in English they may say “My name is John German”.

    Same guy. Describing himself the same way, just in two different languages.

    Fo Colombus specifically, that’s not even his name in his native language. It was Columbo, which meant Dove and given mostly to orphans, but at least his dad had the same name. Whenever last names became standard, Columbus’s oldest living direct ancestor was an orphan

    So like, it’s not asking why just the places named after him are different, it’s why he had different names.

    And the answer is people just really didn’t care that much about names until very recently.












  • Somebody could hypothetically have worked for AIPAC in the past and become a staunch opponent of Israel’s policy

    I’d be surprised if you could find a single example…

    AIPAC uses bribes as the carrot, then if you go against them, the being up past carrots (bribes) and use the disclosure of them as “the stick”.

    Like, do you not understand how state back propaganda works? AIPAC works hand in hand with Israeli intelligence and their administration.

    Literally the only reason AIPAC exists is because it’s predessor had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC replaced it and immediately bribed the people who decide who has to register as a foreign agent…

    For me,

    This isn’t a one off specific issue you missed …

    You seem completely unaware what AIPAC actually is and what they do…

    But still feel the need to weigh in. Why?

    Why not spend 15 minutes reading up on AIPAC?
