It is that, and it's something more than that, something even darker.
Under capitalism's ultimate form, humans' value is what they can be used for to make wealth for capitalists. The value of a woman is in that she can be bred; the value of a man is that he can be led to the slaughter.
In the GOP's view, we are, none of us, anything more than livestock to them.
@DharmaDog For real? My father was a Navy sharpshooter on an aircraft carrier during the Korean War and the land orders werenât meet-cute. Heâs going to sour soldiers.
Keep it going, Vance. We need the money and your votes and we arenât backing down to your stalking, denigration or threats. As IF heâs qualified to even speak standing on Trumpâs orange head.

Prescient, this Frenchman. The Europeans have seen these movies before.
Okay, now Juicy Divan is five star clever. Genuine unladylike guffaw here. đđ€Ł I hope I follow you.
I was not so corrected that immediately. Your profile pic makes me grin also too.
I hear you!! I just barely told someone My Tuxxie was grinning goofily at a pet meme she linked me to. They really are life-savers. Mine insists on sleeping on an old handbag at the foot of the bed. He has as actual anxiety disorder and purrs about four hours a day, but needs security help. Thatâs where dogs excel, the great ones always greet everyone like theyâre coming back from war.
@DharmaDog Outstanding quote! Huge thanks for capturing it all. News in the US has Fifty Shades of Gray before breakfast.
Which now includes the increasingly bizarre and insufferable NY Times, parenthetically.
@DharmaDog Makes me wish I was on twitter so I could thank him for analogizing kids with a war zone. I'm not even kidding. Months to years on half a night of sleep, worry that your house will get burned down, it's that loud, teaching people life/death survival skills who don't speak English, mess AND latrine duty every night, you seldom get to see the people you love, ugly uniform most of the time, heartbreaking decisions....
Condoms work. #Choice
@DharmaDog I forgot the blood. Ther's generally a lot more of it than you thought there'd be.
And it's terrifying. Kids pretty dumb, and people are not careful with yours.
Wow, that was well stated.
It analyses how Vance thinks and how he is completely wrong.
Thank god for people like Pete Buttigieg!
