notice he mentions our involvement in africa's situation? notice he doesn't say their problems stem from their civilization and they have too many babies?

It's not racist to look at Africa and recognize that a lot is wrong on the continent regardless of past or ongoing colonial enterprising. You're either a moral coward or a moral relativist if you think otherwise.

Except that if you ignore past and (more importantly) ongoing colonial enterprises when diagnosing those problems, the only alternative is racism.

That's tough, I can't think of anyone on Alex Jones' level, the closest is probably the Young Turks or someone from the Green Party.

that's true. it's not racist to look at africa and recognize there's a lot wrong with the way things are going. the racist part is when you then blame it on the civilization of africans and having too many babies, and don't breath one word about the ongoing colonial enterprising.

if you would like a goofus/gallant style example of this, here you go

Let's look on the bright side. We know that if things get bad enough, unions will re-emerge regardless of efforts to outlaw them. Thousands will die, many more will lose their jobs, and millions will be heinously exploited before the union earns even a single protection for workers, but you know, what else is new.

centrists are centrists. that means they are comfortable about being politely racist, and hating the poor for wanting things instead of hating them for existing. why would you ever want to ally with fickle centrists who side with the right? you just have to look at the idc and the blue dogs and a bunch of other loser triangulator dems like hillary to see how crappy centrism is and centrists are.

Centrists don't really do "maybe both sides", they're more the people who scream "no right, no left" as code for jettisoning any left wing thought.

centrists call themselves moderates all the time still it helps them pretend they're the reasonable adults in the room rather than just a step away from fascism and telling people who give a gently caress about real human suffering 'to be realistic'

the worst are the ones who take pride in being centrists because centrists are "impartial", "open-minded", "non-biased", and above party politics lmao

Matt and Trey are libertarians, and they've wrote that into their stuff.

Their Uber episode basically ignores all the labor abuses by the company, in favor of mocking taxi companies (that actually follow the law) as all lazy.
