    "From press and TV reports, one might be led to believe that the American POWs were captured by the Communists, for the purpose of torturing them, while they were strolling peacefully down Main Street, Iowa. As of this moment the press has not reported the testimony of any POWs who say, I smashed the marketplace of Phu Ly to rubble; I demolished the main hospital of Thanh Hoa; I leveled the city of Vinh; I bombed rural Laos with such intensity that helpless peasants lived in caves deep in the forest without seeing the light of day for years; I destroyed the dikes in Quang Ngaio province of South Vietnam; I flew the B-52s that bombed the densely populated Mekong Delta. We know that all of these things happened, and much more. But no one seems to have done it. It was some natural disaster, for which no one bears responsibility, just as there is no human agent responsible for the current devastation of Cambodia by U.S. air power, to judge by editorial comment."
    Noam Chomsky, 'Towards a New Cold War,' pp. 125-126

    Nah man, centrists claim that non leftists will vote for republicans if you're more left than the center; even though they don't share any of the same values because they're literally a different party.

    What is up with people who can't possibly comprehend that you don't waste money on extra channels like HBO? That's some true capitalist pity.

  17. It's hilarious when the right acts like Billy F Bucks is an example of the principled, upstanding Old Right.

    The only real critique of UBI is that without other robust social programs it's useless.

    Actually, the only real critique of UBI is that its reformist and when implemented within the capitalist system will always be subject to dismantling and 'reform' and means testing and market forces.
