        Lol you can always count on bummy online leftists to pick apart (pure conjecture) the like one instance in the past fuckin decade where CNN shows a few seconds of someone having an actual good opinion. But alas, you're right. Clearly this man hates brown people and just wants his bag.

        Should've just pulled a leftist meme with 10,000 words out of his pocket and held it in front of the camera.

      Eh. He does not actually think the main problem with blasting Syrian children is the dollar cost.

      It's just that our political discourse is so poisonous that there's kind of a need to address or pre-empt fiscal arguments because they CONSISTENTLY appear in the most BIZARRE situations. The point is that a neoliberal can't really say much to defend murdering Syrians, and they can't say "the money just doesn't exist!" because we're currently murdering Syrians.

      Yeah I know it's fucked up but it's not to be taken at its face. I do agree there should be more deliberate talk of the pure evil of it, but in this scenario it's actually better sometimes to let the neoliberal stop themselves at the unspoken argument of "it's a big stupid George Bush style quagmire war, as opposed to a smart lib war" - instead of letting them try to nitpick like, oh but don't you know we're trying to target ISIS militants and blah blah blah

      good point but CNN would never air someone thinking brown people shouldn't be regularly massacred just because they have rights or something

      we shouldn’t be droppin’ bombs on another country cuz itzz expensive, typical American style DSA leftist.

      Some guy out ice-fishing: "Weird how we can't afford to take care of our own people, but we always have money to kill foreigners."

      RadLib on Chapo.chat: "The DSA is cool with mass murder so long as its done on the cheap."

      Idk pretty sure he just came up with a clever way to bring up Biden’s hawkish foreign policy and his shit domestic policy in one sentence.
