> 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.
