Trotskyism - not even once
“unique” doesn’t necessarily mean you and only you uniquely hate the occupation. Your hatred for that profession might be unique among the professions you hate. It’s not really specified what OP meant by the question.

This is a scene from Lethal Weapon 2, a tentpeg blockbuster movie in which reps from the South African state are not only the villains but are immediately understood to be villains by our heroes simply by the fact that they uphold the values of the state.
Not until it’s (even remotely) conceivable that a household name hero in a summer blockbuster will emphatically yell “free Palestine you dumb son of a bitch” are we anywhere near the level of ideological success in the west as apartheid activists had.
If you’re struggling to make it through you can skip over like from 45:00 to 1:00:00, he spends a while going until the minutia of the 80s arms race.

Yeah but when they’re talking about AI here they’re really just talking about a guessing machine they’re not actually talking about AI
This is not my experience every trans girl I know chose the most basic ass “Becky”-style name
Good point comrade they’re the same
This isn’t even evidence that it didn’t start in China. If the report stated that covid was found in wastewater samples in Italy before similarly dated wastewater samples in Wuhan that would at least be evidence, still there’d need to be much more evidence to support a theory
It’s not weird to describe the consensus origin of covid as infamous. It is infamous.
It wasn’t really shoved under a rug it was reported by many mainstream sources. All the report says is that covid was found in wastewater in 2 Italian towns in December 2019, before any cases were reported in China. That isn’t really a smoking gun that it started in Italy, as December 2019 was also before Italy reported any cases.
What it indicates is that it was likely spreading before people knew it was a thing, which is interesting but shouldn’t be that surprising for a novel infectious disease.
I’m not sure you can blame US racism on reporting about covid origins coming from China pushing further and further into animal habitats for meat resources. Not only is that the consensus theory but it’s the antidote to the “actually evil Chinese scientists cooked this up in their lab and oh actually they’re also incompetent which is why it got loose.”
The new Citations Needed ep on police reform is really good, guest talks about how this kind of thing is part of Foucault’s boomerang - that this is a well-established counter-insurgency strategy
