This is a really great, easy-to-understand counter to claims about deaths from "communism" in China, since the famine is where the Black Book really gets silly.

This bozo voted against a law that would raise the age a minor could marry someone over 21 from 15 to 17. So he thinks a 15 year old should legally be allowed to marry like some 40 year old (not that 17 is much better).
This whole insistence a lot of conservatives have that children should be allowed to marry adults is of course reprehensible... but also just bizarre to me. Like, I grew up deep in conservative, fundamentalist evangelical culture. And the idea of teenagers getting married would have been appalling to everyone I know. But I also grew up in the suburbs of a big city. Who is actually for this? Is this some rural cultural thing?
This is a great point.
I have a half-baked idea of using Che to push kids left in the way chuds use Teddy Roosevelt or Marcus Aurelius. Seriously, reading about Che it's almost like he's some fictional character come to life.
And I've always wanted to do some drunk hexbear posting, just never got around to it.
“So, let me get this straight. You live in your momma’s basement, but you got a Coach purse,”
This person does not really exist outside of Dave Ramsay's head. He takes two different, unrelated data points ("young people are driving luxury good growth" and "more young people are living together") and tries to mash them together like a kid trying to mash together a Duplo and a Lego. It doesn't occur to him that there can be wealth disparities within Gen Z; that the wealthier end are buying Coach purses while a very large other group is living at home.
And fuck this guy, like most "investment advisors" this guy doesn't actually know jack shit about things but he has to pretend he does so he sounds like a "trusted financial advisor". Nearly every investment advisor is a glorified car salesman.
This is how Means TV operates.
