I’ll be honest it took me a minute to figure out what they could’ve meant aside from this
That fully reads as “Xi Jinping says Marxism because you’re too stupid to understand dialectical materialism”
20,000 years of this, 7 4 more to go

Syria was just standing its ground against trespassers
Not mentioning in the headline of anything about the US in Syria that US presence there is illegal is journalistic malpractice
“US forces illegally in Syria hit by airstrike”
Nuclear armed submarine, or nuclear powered submarine? Those are two very very different things.
AP is the most garbage “news organization” in existence, and I despise the way they’ve set themselves up as this decentralized entity that somehow both protects them from any actual accountability while also granting them legitimacy as a neutral arbiter
Every other news source cites AP completely uncritically as if their articles just pop up out of the ether and are simply a list of the facts, when in reality they’re a right wing mess
compensation is just ‘resetting’
So prices will reset too?
Prices will reset?
Yeah. We know.
Incredibly cold take: Serving in another country’s military should disqualify you from any elected office.
This has nothing to do with the United States or Israel. This feels like a basic “Being a functional state” thing. Cuba shouldn’t allow former Chinese soldiers to hold elected office either. Breaking news: Foreign country’s soldiers tend to have some allegiance to that country.
Maybe you can add an exception for conscripts, but if you volunteered? Absolutely not.
It’s such a cool world we live in where if a few rich dudes in Japan make a decision it can ruin my life. Awesome, that.
To be clear, the illegal base maintained in violation of the orders of the Iraqi parliament for the US to GTFO
Are we thinking of the same guy? The one that looked like every basement dwelling 4chan groyper?
“Senseless” is such a bizarre think to call an attempted political assassination, even if you disagree with it. Thats not “senseless violence” it’s very specific targeted violence.
So the sanctions are going great
Ah yes, I did not know that. That seems like a bad idea. I know Germany does something similar and it seems like a bad idea there too.
Another hot take, tests you take as a high schooler should not impact the rest of your life
I’ll be honest I don’t think there are limited resources when it comes to medical schooling, at least in large and/or wealthy countries. The United States could train 10 times as many doctors as we currently do.
I also don’t really see how entrance exams fix that problem even if it does exist. They aren’t entrance exams you take right out of high school, you take them after already taking several years of advanced schooling. So those people are still taking up resources.
You can have “entrance exams” in the same way community colleges do, which is “Can you do algebra and read? If not we’ll have to go back over those.” and then have the first couple years be the fundamentals premed students learn in undergrad. If you couldn’t pass organic chemistry before you still wouldn’t be able to in this version.
Privatization of education isn’t really the problem with medical school (at least in the US), most med schools are at public universities. But they still artificially limit admission and the total students admitted across the country is less than the number of doctors we need and less than the number of students who want to be doctors.
Hot take: Medical school should not require any sort of entrance exam or lower degree. Medical school should be the same as trade school, no applying, no MCAT, you just register and begin the program. Extend it by two years to cover the important material expected to be covered by an undergrad degree, and just allow people to sign up
Entrance exams do not in any way actually measure someone’s ability to be a doctor. Neither do half the classes they have to take in undergrad, and certainly not all the extracurricular shit they have to do to make their resumes ridiculously competitive.
All these restrictions do is cause a doctor shortage while clogging up university science classes with the dumbest rich kid yes men you’ve ever met who constantly delayed class ending by not understanding homework instructions and crying if they got an A- because that could mean not getting into med school.
I’m sure this is at least somewhat different in India just judging by the number of Indian immigrant doctors in the US, but I guess part of the way they’ve handled it is just intense corruption
Which to me seems to say “High interest rates have little impact on inflation and if anything make it worse” but I’m a scientist not an economist so I like to make decisions based on observable reality instead of vibes
Critical support to the Federal Reserve in their apparent quest to destroy the United States
Like I feel like everyone, both pro-capitalist and anti, have been screaming for months that they need to lower interest rates because it’s ruining everything and they simply refuse
This should immediately get you fired and blacklisted from ever working in recruiting again
Honestly as someone currently applying for jobs I’d support fucking arresting people for this shit fuck you fuck you fuck you you assholes go fuck yourselves
