FWIW I didnāt down vote you, but I donāt think all malice is equal. Driving with a heart condition or narcolepsy and killing someone isnāt the same as driving through a crowd to get revenge.

Yeah, I just donāt see the comparison the OP made here. Iām willing to relent that Britain has done more harm than good to India but Iām no expert so Iād defer to someone smarter here.
But the even crazier thing is that the article isnāt even talking about famine caused by the British Rajā¦ No, theyāre saying Churchill was the aggressor and Hitler was pushed into a fight he didnāt want. And the craziest part is the statement that the concentration camps were mercy kills to prevent starvation.
Looked it up, referring to this?
Churchillās policies to blame for millions of Indian famine deaths, study says
I think the major difference here is malice. Did Churchill set out cause these deaths or was it greed and/or stupidity? Honest question worth discussion, I havenāt heard of this prior.
I donāt normally reply with something so blunt but this is a pretty shitty comment. This kind of half speak rhetoric is a major issue causing misinformation and its usage is far too pervasive.
And Iām not even saying youāre wrong but if you want to prove the point the burden is on you.
I donāt think it bodes well she sat with Putin at a conference, whether there was ālanguage barriersā or not.
Saying the article is old is like saying donāt bring up Reaganomicsā¦ the impacts are still being felt, thereās still relevance.
And I linked it to suggest that these fringe candidates are still being picked and losing, perhaps as a long term effect of the strategy.
I would argue they were just better at hiding the same type of shit these modern politicians are thinking and saying. Now itās just acceptable. Then you had Howard Dean dooming himself for a cowboy scream.
Harris should hold a town hall at the exact same timeā¦
You nailed itā¦ āif youāre denying, youāre losingā
I can see this from your perspective now, perhaps my context was lacking. I felt it evident as a recollection but those without the context may misinterpret.
Edit: Iāve added context, thanks for pressing your point!

Primarily because I was sharing how the photos are linked in my memory.
Theyāre also chronologically similar, happening within a week of each.
Lastly, they demonstrate stark differences in policies: a win for the new VP pick who, in my opinion, shows someone who actually cares about children and families.
I would also point out, not to give Huckabee any credit, but the silver lining of that bill might allow kids trying to gain freedom from abusive homes, permitting them to go job hunting on their own (although 14/15 seems super young regardless - they couldnāt without someone signing off otherwise). The downsides is parents forcing kids to go to work in dangerous jobs (to your point).
Wondered where I remembered him from, it was this juxtaposition of photos:
Additional context: around the same time Governor Walz (upper) was signing a bill for guaranteed school lunches the Governer of Arkansas (lower) was signing a bill rolling back protections on child labor.

The Forbes channel upload on this has some comments that reminded me it doesnāt matter what he does or saysā¦ people just follow him blindly. Whatās the quote? About him shooting someone on a corner and not losing a single voteā¦
They call me Cuban Pete!
Gāday, Chris here
When Peterson pressed Musk for why he was switching to Trump, after long voting Democratic, Musk said that Democrats had become the party of censorship.
Thatās super ironicā¦
I hate to agree but I donāt think youāre wrong, and accept the down votes in advance. She did some things well though, the trolling on rallies was actually her sneakiest trick to rattle him. I think she couldāve performed better but maybe she learned some lessons for a second debate.
Overall I think there was a double standard on mic control, whenever he wanted to talk they let him. He even got to speak during fact checks, what the fuck is that? On the flip side, they didnāt unmute her on rebuttals and he made a point to tell her to shut up if she spoke over him.
