These parasites won't save a single person from climate change
They'll wax poetic about stronger smarter parasites from ages past while the oceans boil
The very fact that they're obsessed with "framing", as though progressive policies aren't already popular...
You didn't need to sell people on Medicare Expansion or fully public four year colleges or a Green New Deal. The fight was always with lobbyists and corporate flacks.
The fight was always with lobbyists and corporate flacks.
And :brainworms: lib voters. "We have to focus on fixing obamacare first, sweaty." But, yeah, that's thanks to dem talking points. They build their own opposition.
It's not people they're selling to, it's their corporate donors
it's not that bad of a point but why would anyone want to associate with Bismarck
He was quite a statesman. He united the squabbling provinces of Germany into a single state. He's commonly confused with Hitler, which I think is the source of the misplaced hate. He has a very good following among history nerds.
There’s an interesting saying, can’t remember from where, that says fascism is just colonialism and imperialism brought into the domestic stage.
It's Robert Paxton's 'Anatomy of Fascism' I think.
Fascism is the application of colonial violence to the imperial core.
lebensraum in europe was begining under the kaiserreich with land consolidation & immigration to east prussia while buying up land & kicking out poles
He united the squabbling provinces of Germany into a single state
Which is widely regarded as a bad move
It makes sense for Liberals to like Bismarck. He was able to effectively navigate Germany, and Europe more broadly, further into modernity without having to reconcile with its internal contradictions or social tensions.

The nerve of this weasel to complain about the Republicans distracting around Stalin and then sign an anti socialist decree.

The Democratic Party believes that every person in America should have child care and the Republican response is look at how many people Stalin killed. Give me a break.
Fuck that guy so much. I saw him speak at a Sanders rally back in 2020 and I could tell he was a fucking snake just by the way he presented/carried himself.
Remember kids, don't be like Bismarck, be like Biz Markie instead
This will happen, but only in the sense of some FDR-esque populist trying to take steam away from growing socialist movements with government projects. At the current rate, we might get it for the CCC's centennial.
On the bright side, we did get a lot of nice national parks out of it last time. I'm hoping for decent passenger rail this time
Mid-nineteenth century European state builders:
Bismark :geordi-no:
Garibaldi :geordi-yes:
Jerry Doyle played Michael Garibaldi on Babylon 5. Scott Adams had a cameo on an episode of the show.
Doyle was a right wing chud in real life.
