  • I'm not entirely convinced that you know what words mean, but...

    This is part of the comment I replied to:

    We shall ignore your weak and insincere apology [edit: <--- see? Do you see it?]

    To which I said that he's not capable of making an apology so holding him to that standard is weird. Really, it's weird and ableist. People should stop doing it.

  • Unless she was telling someone about her true, passionate love for the policies of Trump, I don't get why you're replying to me.

  • Why are you misrepresenting what I wrote?

    Just as a practical matter, demanding any kind of apology or explanation from a guy who physically cannot communicate seems like a big ask. In this case 'quality of apology' is a foolish metric. It would be nice if Chomsky could explain himself, but he can't.

  • Chomsky is 97 years old and had a massive stroke several years ago. He's not capable of speaking or writing.

  • Thanks. Good catch! I'll add them to the post.

  • Exactly. Everything this administration does is also a meme to appear strong. I don't think we should accept the story they're selling or declare victories for them they haven't won.

    I think even their legislative control is far weaker than many realize. Yes, the Republicans are cowardly, traitorous fucks who've abdicated their responsibilities. But they're also not really passing legislation. The majority of their policies have come through ephemeral executive orders because they couldn't pass them. They haven't really tried because it would expose that weakness and their most important priority is appearing strong. They would if they could. Repealing law is difficult, reversing executive orders is just a signature.

  • I think you might be letting ICE off the hook here though. It's not just their activity in Minnesota that's the problem. It's all of it, isn't it?

  • It's dumb to pretend there's no continuum of autocratic control. Russia and China don't have legislative disputes over funding shit. They don't fail to indict their enemies. They don't fail to convict anyone. They don't have stories published in the media that are critical of Dear Leader.

    Total autocracies have complete control over the executive, legislature, courts, police, military, and media. The US is quickly moving in the wrong direction along that path, but it's bananas to say they're "already there."
