“a fart is a turd honking for the right of way”
you’re absolutely right. perfect should be the enemy of good.
you honestly believe the global south will be no worse if the world’s only hegemon turns fascist?
no idea why some take issue with your statement…the 9th paragraph of the article:
“The problem is that where destructive earthquakes are rare, buildings are simply not constructed robustly enough to cope with strong ground shaking, so many collapse, resulting in high casualties,” said Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London. “I would expect the final death toll to climb into the thousands once more is known. As with any big quake, aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further casualties and hinder search and rescue.”
emphasis mine
If you wait until someone is about to die
yeah, if you push someone out of the way of a vehicle, you could say (accurately) that they were about to die but now they’re right as rain. but when someone is about to die because of an ever increasingly worsening medical scenario that unfolded predictably (that’s a big part of it - the medical knowledge we possess being able to prevent the condition)… it’s not like being on death’s door will suddenly mean you’re back to normal without great effort, cost, suffering, and risk.
imagine applying that to any other medical condition “yeah your head hurts / it’s difficult to breathe / your toe is green / etc, but you aren’t about to die yet. come back when you’re brought in an ambulance”
not disagreeing with your first paragraph, but sort of adding that it’s not a desire to control women’s bodies - it’s a desire to control everything. the society they want requires a “traditional nuclear family” run by a patriarch. a woman’s body is one part of this and is the means not the end.
i am disagreeing with your second paragraph as it was the ghoul in the senate who placed 3 fascists on the supreme court.
“accept everyone for who they are” == “kill those who aren’t you” what’s not to understand. brainwashing is brainwashing.
especially at this scale…and they have to do that 9 more times just for the cities bigger than London…
also fuck the CCP
the only truth to the headline is the increasingly part - and it’s because of articles like this.
