> VOA was established by FDR?

Are you serious? You mentioned FDR by name.

> You could equally make the argument "it took three generations to unpick and fix the FDR bullshit".

You made the comparison. I made my own comparison. Then you accused me of "whataboutism" for following your lead.

I don't have the energy for this bullshit.

read carefully.

"it took three generations to unpick and fix the FDR bullshit [establishing VOA]".

  • Ah, so "the FDR bullshit" was specifically about VOA. That was not clear. I thought it was a reference to New Deal policies more broadly. Write more carefully.

    Actually, in your reply in the other subtree, you added "(among other things)" so it appears I understood it correctly the first time, and it was a reference to New Deal policies more broadly.

    • yes and the comment i originally responded to talks about Trump/DOGE in a broad sense, which is also more than just VOA. actually doge is unwinding quite a bit of FDR bullshit it turns out so my analogy is a nice mirror.
