Cripple. History Major. Vaguely Left-Wing.
Ma worked for the CIA from 1982 to 1989. He was accused of conspiring with a relative, who had also worked for the agency, to deliver “a large volume” of national defense information to Chinese spies in exchange for $50,000 in 2001.
Damn, national secrets go for cheap.
It’s a bluff, essentially (ironically?).
I suspect it’s a bad choice in the long run, but hopefully Morena can get some good out of it at least currently.
You drive a hard bargain.
Authoritarian/Libertarian and Economic Left-Right
It’s the Political Compass, just a horoscope for political junkies. Great for making jokes like “The most libertarian position you can take is anprim” and “Centrists are uninterested in anything except grilling” though
It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.
I disagree. I think many of them are legitimately just that stupid.
Although some probably are paid.
What do the X and Y Axis represent?
This is the kind of medical advice I like.
A revolution powered by a combination of progressive anti-monarchists and revanchist religious leaders emerged victorious, only for the progressives to get knee-capped by a Reagan government that claimed to be targeting the religious leadership.
Jesus fucking Christ. Tell me you know nothing about the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution without telling me you know nothing about the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution.
Don’t worry, plenty of online ‘leftists’ will tell me that this is what critical support for anti-imperialism looks like.

Why are people so racist that it determines their voting choices in great enough numbers that they’re a significant voting bloc?
Because if a voter’s only real position is “Hurt minorities”, other positions are unlikely to stop them from voting for a candidate. On the other hand, people with actual ideologies can be tripped up even by one or two policies that are out-of-sync with their desired policies, reducing turnout.
Looks like I’m in the clear!
Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can’t get unless you’re trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.
Malice and incompetence aren’t mutually exclusive. Reagan was both. Numerous biographies bear out that the man was a moron, but ideologically aligned with gruesome and competent people in his administration.
What Reagan did was Legal
Iran-Contra wants a word.
It’s, sadly, applicable to most militaries throughout history and the modern day.
Well, the reduced effectiveness was noticed. It created significant uncertainty, funny enough, over the actual causes of scurvy, since apparently citrus fruit wasn’t enough, until more rigorous studies happened in the 20th century.
Because new
