A real shame how incredibly ugly it is.
Although the building houses a public library branch, this is the Obama Presidential Centre, not the Obama Presidential Library. There seems to be a lot of confusion around this.
But why the brutalist architecture though? It is this supposed to be post-modern? The words(?) engraved up there is an interesting touch.
How else are you supposed to figure out where to buy droids from?
For the public
… It’s a private museum that’s been built on a public park
Also it’s ugly as shit
Why would you repost this in a liberal sub??
This shit is a monument to the reestablishment of slavery in Libya & it pissed off a lot of the black community in Chicago with its placement and construction
Can’t fix stupid.
So “leftists” don’t like liberals because they don’t understand the difference between private and public funding?
Close, now ask yourself: why would a leftist care about [your] proposed razor?
My proposed what? Did you respond to the wrong person?
I didn’t.
Then can you explain how your response makes any sense at all?
A razor, like Occam’s, is an inference rule that enables you to resolve an otherwise undecidable problem. Whichever you chose to support your conclusion isn’t one likely to be relevant to the left.
So a leftist makes a stupid comment that clearly demonstrates their lack of awareness of the difference between public and private spending.
I point out their childish stupidity.
And so you’re saying they don’t care about being wrong… which to me makes “leftists” sound a whole lot like MAGA.
I’m not going to buy into this “post-truth” bullshit the far right and left want to impose on smart people.
I don’t understand this, so please help me out without thinking I’m trolling. Aren’t liberals on the left? Who is the meme making fun of, the top quoter or the bottom one?
people conflate 2 kinda of liberal: liberal is the same root word as liberty, libertarian: liber, which basically means free
economic liberal (like the australian liberal party) means free from government interference in business/economy. it’s basically libertarian
socially liberal means free from government interference in your life (ie liberty; government says nothing about lgbtqi+ unless it’s about protecting you from discrimination)
in the US in particular “liberal” has tended to means socially liberal (at least in how they campaign) but neoliberal economically (pro big business)
socialism is actually diametrically opposed to economic liberalism
No. Liberalism is firmly a center-right ideology.
