Not really, because somehow a libertarian society where you can own slaves is less "authoritarian" than a socialist society where everyone is fed, housed, because the poor capitalists don't get the power to exploit people.

Meanwhile a primitive anarchist commune with so little development of the means of production, a person's only options are to fill a very specific role in society or starve becomes free again.

The term "authoritarian" is not useful for describing how much agency people in a society have over their own lives.

What are you gonna do, vote for the guy who wants to put 10 holes in the boat? No, you have to vote for me, I will only put 9 more holes in the boat.

Don't try to take away my gun or tell me to stop putting holes in the boat. What do you want Trump to win?

Other than take the gun from the liberal to save us all, wtf could he have done?

It wasn't just Trump, Dem governors and mayors had an opportunity to fill in where the federal government was failing, and instead we got Cuomo going on CNN every night to talk about how important it is to balance human health and the economy.

I would hardly call “so greedy I’m ok with an extreme racist regime as long as I keep on getting mine” moderate

This describes anyone who is OK with the country tho? I mean America didn't start being racist in 2016

It's in response to a pakistan airstrike that killed 46 people.

Do you think the conflict in Palestine is over religion too?

Why doesn't the article tell us exactly what those demands are? Last time the sticking point was that Israel would resume bombing in 2 weeks and continue occupying parts of Gaza.

Hamas was supported by Israel to fight Fatah, not the PA. The Palestinian Authority is an Israeli puppet.
