Everyone knows it’s cheaper to wait for humans to reproduce and grow (and die in shitty preventable conditions) than it is to invest your manpower in constant reindustrialization.

I think that was the lesson of the US Civil War.

Its defeatist to just accept evil. Call it out. Its not normal. Its not ok.

Why do y’all libs write like you’re auditioning for speechwriter in The West Wing lmao. Dork behaviour.

The only way to reach westerners is on the other side of a crisis that affects them personally. Anyone who can see the malicious cruelty of everyday life in America as well as the huge misery they export everywhere else and either pretend they don’t know or shrug it off ain’t gonna be converted by morality or reason, they’re gonna be reached once it happens to them or the handful of people they might actually care about.

I personally try to be helpful and nicer when somebody’s shown genuine curiosity or naive misguidedness. We’ve all been there at one point. But there’s far too many who are just parroting the US line as if it were gospel and I don’t think ridiculing them is even the worst option.

There it is. If you’re not a liberal you’re personally getting checks written by Putin or whomever’s the villain of the month.

My grandma has been at that stage for 8 years after a stroke that left her half paralyzed, and she doesn’t have one percent as much access to care as these ghouls. I won’t be holding my breath.

Can you point me to a party that holds any significant amount of power that isn’t just a Tory with a different preference for what sort of worker gets killed at the altar of capital today?

I think KDE Neon would be nice for a new user. I like Pop OS and it’s really cute and sleek but the shortcuts are needlessly different from windows a bunch of times, if she’s somehow used to alt+tab to change windows and not just window groups she’s gonna have a hard time learning another way to do it.

You need every bit of juice, you wouldn’t want telemetry to miss any of your keystrokes and send that info to microsoft all incomplete. Think of all the productivity losses if one of the dozens of react appplications running on idle were to lag even more than they already do!

He really is the new and improved Millennial Bernie. Even AOC was pretending not to be a DNC stooge for like a year and this dude is speedrunning it before he’s even sworn in. Young enough to become the socdem class traitor GOAT if he can pace himself.

The only way the US could have stopped it would have been not to coup Yanukovich in the first place or engage in an all-out war with Russia that would kickstart WW3 and, most likely, nuclear war.

As Marxist-Leninists have been saying from the first month of the engagement, the point has never been for Ukraine to win with full support from the west, but to use an expendable proxy to attempt weakening a perceived threat with as little commitment as humanly possible, I can’t believe y’all keep falling for the same transparent playbook.

Afghanistan had a heavily armed population in a mountainous and very cavernous terrain where air support was a liability and heavy infantry/armored divisions were absolutely useless, not to mention a very motivated guerrilla popping up from every corner.

Ukraine is running out of their sponsor’s money and gear, and they have to kidnap young people off the streets to get enough cannon fodder. That’s not even close to a comparable situation. Try living in the real world for maybe an hour and you’ll stop being blindsided by your copium dreams.

The fell for it again award for US vassals

They can’t be as bad as the book because they can’t have a marathon length monologue to end them

Well, they killed the people responsible for the leaks so that kind of dampened their reach

So y’all have worn out atrocity propaganda so thin that we’re now gonna have to take atrocity prophesizing?

Typical statesian projection. There’s plenty of decent and even admirable politicians, you just obviously won’t find them in the empire’s employ.

But they’re making a list. They’re gonna take fifteen years of investigation and then seriously reprimand whomever is alive and maybe even curse at them.

When measured against their contemporaries? JFK, FDR, Eisenhower, Carter. Hell, Biden was a contemporary of Carter and was very much to the right of him.

Which is still a meaningless distinction because the least antisemitic Nazi is still a fucking nazi.

Probably both

Not even two comments in and it’s already full on white supremacist “barbaric hordes” talking points
