This technology is supposed to be for disaster response (sending cockroaches to check for survivors under rubble and stuff), but yeah that sounds about right. I wonder how long it’ll take until they put bombs in these.

Wouldn’t the market just expand to absorb the extra demand?

According to betteridge’s law: No.

Okay I’m not sure where you got this from, but you’re wrong on both counts. Socialists absolutely want to do more than just implement progressive policies (you’re thinking of social democrats); the definition of a socialist is someone who believes the working class should seize the means of production. Some socialists believe that can be done through capitalist democratic systems (we call those democratic socialists), but still the goal is a lot more broad than just implementing progressive policies; on the other hand you have more militant or even revolutionary socialists, who usually advocate direct action (sometimes but not always including violence). Meanwhile communists are a subcategory of socialists who believe in the creation of a moneyless, classless, stateless utopian society as described by Karl Marx.

If they could do that they wouldn’t try to get people to avoid unionizing. They still need people to work for them, regulations or no regulations.

Cough cough will no one rid me of this turbulent bitch?

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about? The fucking satellite imagery showing half the strip being reduced to rubble isn’t made up.

Over the last 40-50 years, pro-Palestinian news bytes have shown one thing: the Palestine cause is great at marketing, especially to youn people.

Absolutely not. Palestinians and pro-Palestinians are absolutely terrible at marketing. There’s a reason that with few exceptions the only places where Zionism didn’t find purchase were the ones where people were reading about the Nakba in the daily newspaper and it took a livestreamed genocide for anti-Zionism to become something resembling mainstream elsewhere.

it simply shows the complexity of the conflict

Nothing is complex about this.

And why is every democratic presidential nominee like this?

Money.

Hurwitz also claimed that Holocaust education was “confusing” young people into sympathizing with “weak, skinny Palestinians” instead of “powerful Israelis.”

What. The. Fuck.

Maybe they’d consider it if you stopped fucking ruining their country.

Trump got increased support from literally every minority group in 2024, but I doubt Ilhan Omar supports him.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

Eh, I’d argue the system is broken. Not because it’s exploiting the poor, mind you, that part is intended. The unintended part is how it’s starting to encroach on the authority of the rich. The system is supposed to “sustainably” make the rich richer and the poor poorer, which is of course complete balloony but that’s neither here nor there.

moment.

Maybe it’s not enough for them to buy a new car? I mean it’s 6 years old; I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Why, though?

they are vast megacities where any attempt to dismantle regime capabilities from the air risks substantial civilian casualties and cascading regional effects.

I wonder where I saw this before. I think it started with B and ended aghdad.

all undertaken without the transparency, oversight, or legal foundation that normally governs the use of American force.

For all the good that did anyone.

That’s fair, but realistically they’ll just deny it no matter the evidence. They’re pretty good at that. Speaking of which, I’m out of the loop, what’s the blowjob thing?

But you seem to be denying how bad the Epstein files have been for him and the Republicans over the last six months.

And… how bad have they been? Trump still has a 42% approval rating even though anyone with half a brain can tell he’s a pedophile. Republicans are probably going to lose the midterms, but that’ll just be their cue to launch their coup because there’s no way 21st century Hitler accepts a peaceful transfer of power.

Yeah that’s why he’s hiding.
