they were sick and tired of paying all those liberal taxes in California!

Yep. One tunnel does not a “network”make.  And are there any bodies? Presumably, hitting a network of tunnels (or even one tunnel) would generate multiple casualties following a bombing campaign.

And oh, the fucking water is polluted! There aren’t any fucking fish in the first place!

“if all of the disputed territory became Israel, would the new citizens of Israel be given the vote?”
Israel “uhh...you mean, democracy?”

It’s not only corporations or those in power that are responsible for the manufacture of consent. Often times, consent can be manufactured by and within subcultures. It’s all very tricky.

When my eight year old eggshell of a mind couldn’t quite figure out how this cardboard doughy thing turned into Jesus’s body and the wine i never got to drink turned into his blood.

The hoodwink was almost embarrassing to me.

As a real American, quite frankly, fuck the Bible. If you’re an elected official in our secular democracy in need of a position on an issue, read the constitution. Our country is based on laws, not beliefs. 

When I hear the term “Jewish state” I cringe. Like it or not, the term feels like the white supremacist notion of an ethnostate and is counter to anything resembling the idea of a democracy. Using the term “Jewish state” sets up a semantic muddle that makes it difficult for non-Jews to be clear about the country’s intentions. Are they interested in democracy? Or are they interested in an exclusionary state based on religious belief? My cultural experience with the 1st amendment gives me pause.

This wouldn’t have happened if there was a good guy with a gun around.

Not sure, I understand. Science is the study of natural phenomena, no? Isn’t an economy a natural phenomena worthy of study? economies are most certainly emergent properties of human culture, but that does not make them unreal and New Age bullshit.  money might be a magical construct, but I’ll bet you used it to eat today. 

@micahflee

Who says consent is manufactured? It seems to perpetuate itself. 

When someone uses the Bible to prove a point...they don’t.

So glad we have Bill Maher to let us know about the politics of GenZ. He’s so in touch with the youth of America isn’t he? I guess it’s because he’s in his 60s, has no children, and barely sets foot on a college campus unless they’re paying him to speak. This uniquely qualifies him to know what’s going on with campus politics.
