Sapient liberation now.

The left doesn’t have the money to prop up a decent counterpropaganda apparatus.

The Senate not being population-based is part of the problem too. As are gerrymandering and not having universal adult suffrage or federal holidays for voting days. But a Constitutional Convention would be state-based, too, so we’d end up with something even worse than we have now.

Yes, but none of that applies to a South African born in South Africa to South African parents.

As someone who has extensive personal experience with severe mental illness, I appreciate very much your desire to defend us (your instinct would usually be right), but psychopathy is a weird one. If the previous commenter had said “mental illness” instead of psychopathy specifically, I’d be pissed. But there is evidence that psychopaths advance in business management. I realize it’s not exactly JAMA, but here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephaniesarkis/2019/10/27/senior-executives-are-more-likely-to-be-psychopaths/?sh=24aa505d47c4

Modern US conservative policy isn’t a complex question. The answer is always money or sadism.

Both 9/11s were pretty freaking real, but you’re right on the US orchestrating the 1973 one.

Frankly, I don’t trust anyone who’s not angry at corporations, but otherwise I tale your point.

Might have something to do with the slavery, imperialism, and genocide. Or the fact that French Canadians are primarily of French descent. It’s simply not comparable. Also, while people say French Canadian to describe an ethnicity and culture (again, one primarily made up of French immigrants), I’ve never heard someone call Quebec French Canada in seriousness.
