Women hold up half the sky

Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Aug 23 18:45:27 2020

Yes, Biden is now plagiarizing Mao in interviews. Of course, the interviewers say nothing about it.

He did it twice in two months too.

Another one the lefties are evading. Not hard to see why.

You evaded when your lord and savior quoted Mussolini.

When was that? I googled and all I saw was him retweeting someone else that quoted Mussolini. Is that what you two are saying was plagiarism or something else?

It's not plagiarism, it's that conservatives are upset that Biden used a Mao quote, while they're silent about Trump using a Mussolini quote.

As for why Trump's is worse: Trump quoted Mussolini where Mussolini advocated violence (probably in support of the invasion of Ethiopia or something), whereas Biden is quoting Mao supporting women's equality. Sometimes quotes are valid regardless of who said them. Unless you're Olog-hai, for whom gender equality is a communist plot.

Trump repeated Mussolini's exact words in his 2016 nomination acceptance speech: "I, and I alone, can fix it."

Now what search terms did you use?

I found this by using Google. It's from an ABC News interview with Robin Roberts. The quote is from Mao Tse-tung, but Biden calls it "that old expression". Quite simply, Biden is a Maoist; Obama would never have picked that old white man as VP otherwise.

Nor does it appear to be something that Mussolini said. Googling shows articles that compare that sentiment to Mussolini but not that quote.

Point taken.

Absent context, I like Mussolini‘s quote. And Ethiopia defeated Italy, so there’s that.

Absent context, I despise Mussolini’s quote. Without knowing who said it, you know it was said by a fascist, or warmonger.

I assume you mean the "I alone. . ." line.

Even if it were said by Mussolini, it would not be a problematic quote, IMO.

Biden is not a Maoist. He's a plagiarist. He has a history of plagiarizing others.

Yes. It doesn't appear as if Mussolini ever said that. But as far as problematic...it is often compared to Mussolini's fascist thinking.

Pretty much any sort of level of authority can be compared to fascism when you get down to it. A politician claiming that he is uniquely suited to solve problems is just arrogant, and that's not a common trait that people seeking public office have.

Red herring. This bit of plagiarism he uttered more than once; he belly-feels this one.

This guy has neo-Nazis voting for him. Wake up.
