The CEOs are not his audience, it's the people watching and reading about this in the news.

Or they both turn their backs on him and start pooping and eating at the same time.

You're winning an argument that no one is having with you, great job 👍

You didn't respond to the substance of my comment. Links to paywalled articles are trivial to paste into a site like archive.is. Archive sites are taken down all the time, it makes no sense to provide them as the primary source of a link.

You didn't really read or engage with any of my points, so I'll ignore your lecture about misunderstanding.

Don't put this on people posting links.

Use a browser extension if it's personally important to you, or just paste the link in yourself. Archive sites go offline; they shouldn't be primary link sources.

I would have upvoted this if it didn't have a pointless tumblr caption on it.

Way better with the last two panels swapped!

How many people who post JS BAD memes could provide a single example of why it's bad without looking it up?

The US left wing has a lot of great ideas and some really really terrible ones that are completely out of the mainstream.

That's probably specific enough, right?

So, so many questionable design choices. The lamppost raised 2ft off the ground, is that supposed to give us the impression of being on a neighborhood street? All the 90s tiling around it says otherwise.

What a tremendous asshole. Did the American people not need to know it BEFORE Trump was indicted for it?

I can rephrase, maybe wasn't clear. The word "necessary" implies a confidence in some desired outcome, and certainly that such an outcome would not make things even worse.

Like if something like this happened in America, what happens next? The Constitution is already in tatters at that point, do we try to put it back together? And where is America on the world stage then? France had few friends after the revolution.

I have a question: if someone makes a movie about the French Revolution, and that movie is clearly meant to have parallels in its narrative with modern class structures and issues, would that be contributing to an environment that normalizes violence?

I would welcome such a movie because it would probably have far more of a textual/historical basis, point of view and coherent philosophy than "I'm so hungry 😞".

Actually seeing a depiction of the violence carried out against French nobles would provoke way more critical thinking in viewers than a cartoon guillotine.

Would this film also contend with la Terreur? By all accounts most of the blood spilled by revolutionaries was that of "suspected" counter revolutionary spies, near 30K people. Lot of spies! Almost an unbelievable number.
