Sbarro was founded by two Italian immigrants in Brooklyn, they were probably real NYC pizza at one point

If someone is shot and paralyzed, but dies years later from complications it is ruled as a murder in connection with the shooting. If someone is horrifically abused and commits suicide, should the suspects of the abuse have some culpability in the death?

Whether suicide or murder, her blood is on Epstein and company's hands.

I have had a day where I was sure I wanted to die and years where I didn't. It's possible for it to change in an instant. I don't know any details of her situation, but just pointing out that that can change from moment to moment.

It's so clear how much more the state cares about the rich. They spent millions searching for him when the same week there were multiple other people killed in NYC that didn't even receive news coverage let alone a multi-million dollar manhunt.

Representative for who? Natives, black people, queers, anyone remotely to the left wouldn't say the US has been exactly democratic during it's time. Trump and the GOP are just the current incarnation of the settlers that massacred the indigenous people and the racists who enforced slavery and later Jim Crow and segregation. They have been a part of America since it's founding.

Well yeah it's probably not actually useful right now for establishment dems to use it. Occupy Wall Street helped popularize the idea of the 99% vs the 1%, I think that sort of language is more useful for encouraging unity among the working class.

Like describing workers vs the owner class or something along those lines, there are many ways to explain marxist/socialist concepts with simple, easy to grasp language that isn't stained with the connotations of 'communism' that many Americans are instinctively opposed to due to decades of red scare propaganda.

The fetishists yes, but to anyone thinking otherwise mostly all the leftists I know are strapped. It's just an issue of organization.

Years ago I was site-wide banned for "multiple false reporting" or something for reporting comments that advocated blanket murdering protesters and black people related to BLM protests. These comments are probably still there while antifascist users and subs are banned regularly.

Yeah, I don't think it's very likely that a mythical jolly man brings presents to kids worldwide

At best ICE and DHS officials should be tried in a Nuremberg style court.

I think it would help teach people the term, and that could increase class consciousness among average people, which would probably cause more people to see both parties as the shams they are. If they used more explicit leftist language like that though it could trick some into thinking they are truly a left-wing party.

Yes because I would raise my daughter to get to know someone before dating them and have a good sense of character, and not assume someone was evil because they were in a prison. It's also been shown that innocent people have been sent there.
