adespoton , to Politics in [resource] Political Typology Quiz: Where do you fit in the political typology? Are you a Faith and Flag Conservative? Progressive Left? Or somewhere in between?

Hmm… outsider left. And yet I’m pretty conservative in my own country.

adespoton , to Politics in Nikki Haley says she 'will be voting for Trump'

Thankfully I’ve already forgotten everything about her except for her name and that she’ll be voting for Trump.

So if anyone mentions her to me in the future, my only possible response will be “oh, that woman who voted for Trump?”

Is it really an anti-Semitism bill?

Being against a government of a nation methodically killing civilians in its own borders is not the same as hating a group of people because of their genetics or culture. This isn’t something that should need to be pointed out.

Are people anti-Sino for staging protests against the support of the CCP for the Uyghur genocide?

So the GOP didn’t think she’d win re-election and moved her somewhere safer.

adespoton , to Politics in Wisconsin officials shut down effort to kick Trump off ballot

So, Colorado and Maine have done it, Wisconsin won’t. Where’s everyone else at?

adespoton , to Politics in Biden’s menthol ban pits civil rights groups against each other

What’s one legitimate reason to protest the menthol cigarette ban?

Making money off the sale of menthol cigarettes isn’t a legitimate reason. That money could just as easily come from the sale of chocolates or meat products.

Funny though; when I saw this I thought the ban was on the sale of menthol itself, which seemed concerning and futile.

I was never part of their business plan.

adespoton , to Politics in Up yours Google

I went to do exactly this, and then realized I can’t, because I’ve never seen an ad on Google. I’ve been blocking them since I switched from AltaVista and MetaCrawler, where I also blocked ads.

Then again, I rarely use Google these days either, as the results are usually obvious or misleading.

… or did he just say James campaigned against his spewing of false and defamatory statements?

That’s why Trump loves vague sentences. He can hide behind one interpretation while implying another.

adespoton , to Politics in Opinion - Trump's dementia challenge: Fear of Alzheimer's has him scrambling

But that’s only of value to people who can solve them. To everyone else it’s pointless.

And there’s always a sizeable chunk of “everyone else”, especially when education is a low priority.

I’m a highly skilled employee with soft skills and I reward employers who provide me the freedom I need to get the job done while also retaining other valuable employees.

If an employer repeatedly expects me to “tough it out” that’s when I start looking for new employment and stop putting in the extra work to make others want to work there.

adespoton , to Politics in Modi’s lesson from Israel: Demolish Muslim homes, erase their history

I’ve got a better comparison that may make the Indian government think twice about what they’re doing: it’s very similar also to what China is doing to the Uyghur muslims, but without the re-education camps.

History has shown that Israel’s approach is a failure on multiple levels. We have yet to see if China’s approach is any more effective. India really shouldn’t be trying to emulate either if it wants a lasting, durable society.
