The socialism merry go round is in a state of permanent revolution.

When I am old and think back on how I spent my youth, I’ll be like “damn I wish I had spent a few more hours arguing with anonymous liberals on a shitty ass website”
I tried to read this book but couldn’t make it more than two pages in because it read like it was written by an illiterate teenager. Legitimately don’t understand how people can read it and treat it like something elevated above Spongebob fanfiction.
You should be able to take the test as many times as you need in order to pass.
While this is true, I think you might be underestimating the sheer volume of time it takes professors to write, grade, and proctor (if the school does that) exams.
It’s possible to just phone it in with very basic things like Calculus or Linear Algebra or something, but a well taught version of those classes, and basically any version of upper level courses, requires an amount of prep and exam work from professors or lecturers (and TA, etc.) that students never realize.
A good professor will still have ways to avoid a “you pass or you don’t” situation with exams by doing things like drop X many lowest grades, offering one or two retakes, being flexible in accommodating individual needs. But what you’re describing requires an acceleration of the race to the bottom in instruction quality, unfortunately.
Buddy have you even read Marx’s life story lmao
“Oh honey, time for your new Chappelle discourse”

It never ends
Neoliberalism was a fringe extremist ideology post-WW2. The people who designed and promoted it (like Mont Pelerin Society and others) actually intentionally avoided publicizing it for decades because they knew it would be viewed as ghoulish. It even was tried and failed in Germany (which was the cause of the Berlin blockade going up) before they return to Keynesian socdem policies.
They waited until a number of things set the stage. Massive upheavals in the last 60s (1968 was a big year in both the US and Europe), success in combating unions in the early 70s, an economic downturn in the 70s, and finally the ultimate boss of Keynesian economics: stagflation.
Once these things had happened and upended peoples’ faith in that particular brand of capitalism, it was time to shock it into a new paradigm with the Reagan administration, which was largely advised by neolib ghouls. By that time, neolibs had installed themselves in appointments all throughout the government as well as pioneering the modern think tank.
The US and its citizens are legitimately ungovernable.
If Bernie had won and miraculously passed M4A, judges everywhere from cities all the way up to SCOTUS would be ruling it unconstitutional.
The r/politics tier lib response to “Biden should target Manchin’s donors, investigate his daughter, etc.” is that it’s unacceptable to engage in political corruption of targeting someone’s family.
It’s just amazing. Everything about Biden, including his family and his rise in the primary, is corrupt. But any wielding of political power is corrupt. The concept of “power” is indistinguishable from “corruption” in their weak minds. If you ask them, “well then how the fuck do we ever win”, the answer is always “go vote”.
Our forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision.
>Lots of children killed
>Crashed their helicopter
Sounds about right. Wonder if this will be like the airstrike Biden used for some good media coverage a while back that turned out to be us just drone striking a huge family of innocents.
Because:
Biden said the civilian casualties were caused when Qurayshi detonated a suicide vest and other explosives on the third floor of the building where he had taken refuge.
Is exactly the same excuse used back then.
a final act of desperate cowardice
As much as he probably was a piece of shit, I don’t think that wanting to avoid years of horrible torture is cowardly.
