New schism just dropped

I agree with you. I like the concept but until it’s reality I’ll remain skeptical

Yes, I’m aware they see it the wrong way

He’s unironically my favorite President in my lifetime. History will remember him fondly no matter how hard far right fascists and tankies try to alter the truth

It’s actually super based to blow up terrorists attacking container vessels.

You can either shut the fuck and bitch about inflation (which is driven up by Houthi attacks) or you can go on a weird demand for a ceasefire but acknowledge paying higher prices for goods is a necessary side effect of allowing Houthis to terrorize shipping lanes.

Large-scale desalination efforts should have been started decades ago. If we could extract a steady pipeline of fresh water without a fuckload of energy and byproducts, we could save a lot of impacted communities.

I hope Israel tosses Netanyahu and elects a more liberal leader who doesn’t want to genocide their neighbors. Netanyahu fucking sucks. Hamas fucking sucks. I want both to become history and for Israel to have peace with Palestine and the rest of the Arab world

How about before Xi? What about the decades following 1971? It totally brought the two countries closer together and thinking otherwise is absurd

What a fucking disaster. Netanyahu and Hamas have been quite the blight on mankind

Israel only exists because of Nazis, but you can go ahead and call them Nazis. The irony is clearly not lost on you.

There has not been a world war since the U.S. has been upholding the international order that has seen countries like China, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and many others experience massive economic gains.

The times America has been engaged in conflict since WW2 ended have so much propaganda draped over them that people forget who invaded who first. The North Koreans invaded South Korea to begin the Korean War. The North Vietnamese invaded South Vietnam to begin the Vietnam war. The Iraqis invaded Kuwait to begin Operation Desert Storm. The Serbs tried to genocide the Albanians in Kosovo to begin NATO intervention in the Balkans. The one time the U.S. was totally in the wrong was when Bush lied about Iraq being involved in 9/11, which was completely untrue.

You can have your opinions, but it doesn’t reflect reality. And when the U.S. Navy stops ensuring the free flow of goods, the countries that the U.S. is hurting according to you will be begging us to return the world to the previous order.

Of course, idiots Ike yourself will find a way to blame the CIA for whatever happens because it’s just gotta always be the US’s fault.

You should read it. Pretty much no one understands how the current state of international affairs has been maintained by global trade. The U.S. Navy protects all global trade. Not just trade to and from the U.S., but obviously it’s not a popular domestic position and it doesn’t make much sense for the U.S. to continue anyway. There’s winners and losers, but mostly losers

Bold stuff coming from Beijing that’s bound to be flooded multiple times this year

I don’t think we can and I think the ongoing labor shortage is proof of it. At least not yet, but with advances in automation and robotics, then I think it’s likely. Also we totally need something like a UBI at that point because we would surely tip the scales towards labor surplus at that point. Which is where I would like to see municipal programs pop up around the country to employ people and pay them really well to clean up the environment. Plant trees, clean up rivers, basically rehab the planet. It’s all wishful thinking but I like talking about it lol

Not entirely true! Tara Reade moved to Russia recently. Totally helps her credibility. Nothing fishy with that timing!

Better for the environment for sure, but less people would leave many countries bankrupt because of high senior care costs. I mean, they could just allow immigration, but that’s not gonna happen. It’s funny how the US benefits so much from immigration and yet half the country doesn’t want it
