Also it's funny that people would be wholly dependent on hijab factories instead of knitting.

just the concept that socialist society would somehow be unable to produce a square meter of cloth is pretty hilarious

If hijabs aren't officially branded then they're haraam. That's how it works, right? :thunk:

Literally people who cannot process that when one person says "the moon is made of rock" and the other says "the moon is made of cheese" the truth isn't that the moon is some sort of milk solid, maybe yogurt

Noted socialist Karl Marx did have some issues converting yards of linen into coats so this is maybe less of a gotcha than it appears to be on the surface :sad:

I think it's a bit of that, plus they also don't like how they're being upended as the "respectable palce for "left" wing discourse. Really I think that they havn't shifted as much as revealed their true face. They ated for the longest time as the natural limit for acceptable "left" discouse, but now stuff like Jacobin, and others ae entering into what is acceptable they're losing an audience and also influence, so they're lashing out. Plus they were always a magazine run by neolibs and neocons trying to get left lib audience to accept the status quo.

I will credit my terrible racist nation with this at least, a headscarf ban has never been seriously floated here and the country in currently in uproar because Boris Johnson said something racist about burkas.

This was on Morning Edition? Which host gave the interview?

I just listened to the interview and it didn’t seem nearly as bad as the tweets make it out to be. The host was openly antagonistic to Kessler and she openly mocked every reference to Charles Murray. As for the question to the BLM leader about “talking”, it was only in reference to an invitation by Kessler and was followed by the host letting the guy talk at length, promoting both his viewpoint and his event.

I mean yeah, why give a shithead like Kessler a platform to begin with, that’s pretty crazy, but the host was dunking on him pretty hard.

the clauses are separated so it's even more passive voice-y than typical cop-speak which at least puts the dead person and the thing that killed them in the same sentence.
