Listen, sometimes a drop bear will get you. It's just life.

The fuck..

Well, he says cell lines of aborted fetuses. Which isn't wholly wrong. But they are not made with any aborted fetus cells, which makes the argument Thomas is trying to make pretty silly.

Not even a supreme court justice can escape the pull of wild conservative social media echo chambers.

It may be why he hasn't spoken at great length over the last decades.

Any% speedrun to facist dsytopia.

This is late stage capitalism at work. The fascism comes later when people blame scapegoats and attempt to reclaim faded glory as America is an empire in decline.

And of course the cell lines are from fetuses aborted over 35 years ago.

Removing government regulations on business is literally the exact opposite of fascism

[Spicyryan]

If these religious retards want to really continue on with their utterance of "life begins at conception" then they need to learn what that means. Cellular interaction between sperm and egg is complicated so lots can and does go wrong. 70-75% of fertilizations naturally miscarry (debatable term being applied here) before implantation. You would not even know you were pregnant. Only some roughly 8-20ish percent even make it from there to birth.

Not starting at these basic facts of reproduction are how people like Clarence Thomas become so misguided in their abortion vs medicine nonsense.

[Tyche]

The ironic part of all that is that I'm like 90% sure that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were also tested against aborted fetal cell lines. An astounding amount of drugs are to the point you'd have to be a mushroom head naturalist to avoid them.

Didn't he say he spent 3 hrs every day listening to Rush Limbaugh or some shit?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the '90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals' lives 'miserable'

He's the OG unfit for office justice on this current SC

Ehhhh...

One of the signs of descent into fascism is capture of government by corporate interests, and note how some businesses, like the gas and oil industry, are getting whatever they want whereas Disney spoke out against a fascist talking point and instantly became a target of right rhetoric.

to hit my daily aksually quota when everyone starts talking about fascism

the capture of government by corporate interests is more indicative of an oligarchical structure than a fascist one, and neither principles of deregulation or increased regulation have much to do with fascist economic ideology, such as it is.

fascists, surprisingly, were not the most sophisticated of thinkers, and in truth had no unified economic operating principles; they were fundamentally socio-political revolutionaries rather than socio-economic ones a la the Bolsheviks. that said the three big fascist states shared broad operating principles in a blunt nationalist corporatism, or the alignment of big business interests with big government interests with the understanding that while the former would prosper they would always be subordinate to the whims of the latter. their economic organization was designed to increase the industrial and therefore the military power of the state. fascists saw the economy as little more than a means to a Social Darwinistic end, which is where their interests truly lay.

to do so they privatized a number of industries, while maintaining state monopolies on others they considered critical to national interest, and pursued economic policies that maximized the production of the largest corporations in their nations, with the understanding that those corporations would always serve the interests of militarization and autarky (a concept they were obsessed with given their geopolitical stance). if you played ball with rearmament, you would be favored above all others, if you pursued any other goal, you would be destroyed.

this should all be contextualized in the backdrop that they were fundamentally disinterested in economics as a discipline. they wanted to wage war, and would utilize elements of classical liberalism, corporatism, socialism, feudalism, and slavery to do so. as big A himself once said, "the basic feature of our economic theory is that we have no theory at all."

Fucking nightmare. Congress passes a law, signed by Nixon, delegating authority to the administrative state to regulate air pollution, SCOTUS says "uh no".
