Our system rewards sociopathic, predatory motives and behaviors. The common good is incidental to the accumulation of wealth and power.

It’s one of those organizations that shouldn’t be politicized. It’s very hypocritical and kind of surreal hearing westerners criticizing other governments for human rights violations.

As for China’s epidemiological figures for covid-19, I think theirs will be closer to the truth than those from the screeching, fear-mongering US media establishment.

@chknltl

They take all of that as attacks against them, personally. They are galvanized, and ther turnout will be massive. The only avenue to successful opposition to Trump, would have been through political opposition, centered on issues important to working people, not by vilifying a large percentage of the American electorate.

But the point…[Read more]

wingnut crossroads USA. Their ignorance is abysmal, and they are in utter denial about the establishment, just like their counterparts ‘across the aisle’.

Damn, how I loathe the US corporate media establishment.

there will enough results from the new antibody test to provide an accurate fatality rate, and counter these fearmongering headlines and raw data with no context. The fact of the matter is, 10,000 Americans have died in a two-week period, during a number of flu epidemics; just as recently as 2018, in fact.

How can anyone take this kind of thing seriously?

the rationalizations that were employed to justify the destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Blaming all of this on Trump is going to backfire yet again. We might as well settle in for another administration by lunatics. A majority of the earth’s population does not blame Trump. They blame something else.

They convert the food they have consumed into kinetic energy and all of the other forces required to provide for themselves, and they do it from the same source of stored resources, so it isn’t just a measure of what humans do. It’s a measure of the conversation and dispersion of stored energy from the sun for all species that exist within this…[Read more]

“…implying that the most efficient way to obtain a vaccine quickly would be to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to compete with the lure of hoarding profits at the end.”

One of the most absurd premises underpinning capitalist orthodoxy, is that people can only be motivated to organize economic activity, by appealing to their greedy desires;…[Read more]

“Job growth” is meaningless in that context. It’s part of the primitive orthodoxy that doesn’t really serve our needs at this point in our history.

Thanks for posting.

You don’t have to be a doctor to see that causation and correlation are being routinely confused, by both medical professionals and the news media.

Everyone who dies of pneumonia in the US, who tests positive for sars co v2, are being classified as having died of covid-19. But forty-seven percent of the pneumonia deaths that…[Read more]

He’s one of the most ignorant MFers I’ve ever known in my life. He thinks Obama and Pelosi are socialists, but everyone around here loves and trust him, so apparently he’s a decent doctor.

Health officials in the US are improperly classifying covid-19 deaths. The death statistics, when properly refined and classified, will…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian, and he will win this one too, because a vast majority of the white male demographic of the American electorate voted for him, and will do so again.

Obviously that leaves room for white males such as you me, who do not support him. That doesn’t change the basic facts about American culture. The sentiment behind my phrasing can be…[Read more]

Trump is the white man’s candidate. Do people really buy the bullshit about Trump’s base being white “nationalists”. American imperialism is white supremacy, period. It permeates American society.

@junker

Children are suffering as a result of the fear and uncertainty, and that’s on top of the problems caused by a population that places little value on critical thinking.

from 7% to 15% of people at any hospital — doctors, nurses, patients and visitors alike — will test positive for one or more viruses, including a coronavirus, anytime, anywhere.
