      Reading the resolution is irrelevant, people will read the headline and stop thinking. It reinforces decades of antisocialism/anticommunism

        Whenever I talk about the headlines being the most important thing a bunch of Communications Studies dropouts tell me to read the whole thing.

        It’s super annoying.

        As does reading the resolution. It’s one page of cold war era anti-socialist propaganda dot points.

      “You need to waste your time reading the useless paperwork of your system in detail in order to bring down the useless paperwork of your system” isn’t a great take.

        Oh pardon me. By all means rage on about what you don’t understand. Maybe you’ll sleep well afterwards.

          I rage on about what I do understand, the system as a whole. You only need to look at Trump skipping all supposed checks and balances and separation of powers to understand that all the paperwork was always a facade of etiquette and not anything actually relevant to political power. Fascist police roams the streets and terrorizes minorities with total impunity, where is your lawful paperwork to defend them?

            Ready and waiting to be utilized as intended.

            And in the interim, informing people who care enough to read.

              I wonder why it keeps waiting to be utilized instead of being utilized, huh

                An excellent question and one with more than one simple answer.

                But we’re not good at nuance around here, so everyone can feel free to assign it to their boogeyman of choice.

        It is garbage, and it’s all about using famous socialist governments that went to super shit. That’s why it’s a republiQan resolution. It’s inherently dishonest.

        But hey, you wanna support Pol Pot and Stalin, then vote no.

      Thanks for the link! :-/

      Stupid bit of text conflating concepts and creating it’s own definitions. Everyone should have abstained.
