Before reading the article: “They’re just going to start directly donating to the Heritage Foundation, aren’t they?”

After reading the article: “They’re juet going to help their local church which will then directly support the Heritage Foundation, aren’t they…”

I am guessing Monday will have more dedicated articles coming out from larger orgs. It is usually the way of these weekend events.

That era of machine and windows? Sure why not lil buddy. I’ll join it for a walk back behind the shed.

keep telling yourself anarchists hate stalin because of his virtues and not because of his other characteristics.

To be clear, those weren’t the folks I was referring to in my comment. But:

if I may ask you a question - if marxism and anarchism are fundamentally enemies, as stalin himself argued, why would any anarchist support the modern day ML penchant for rehabilitating stalin’s reputation?

Absolutely welcome to ask, and I’ll give it a shot nonetheless.

I would ask the anarchist (and the modern day ML too) if they agree with this part of Stalin’s theory.

I don’t, and would venture to say a modern day ML may also disagree with Stalin in this but even also have a penchant for his rehabilitation, for other reasons.

More tangentally I think anarchism and marxism are not fundamentally enemies, (so, in disagreement with Stalin here), and would suggest they primarily diverge on the role a state plays in mediating conflicts of private and public interests.

But if I were to try and find common ground with the bit from Stalin you’re citing, just for argument’s sake, it would be that this divergence is a fundamental relationship between the two, but I’d still maintain the differences are not incompatible or irreconcileable.

But again, for the record, I was being more snarky about people who pivot from talking about how Hitler could’ve won to how Stalin could’ve lost.

Regardless I don’t think they’re lamenting Germany’s defeat.

I suspect for some folks Stalin is bad because anyone else would have let the USSR capitulate to the wehrmacht invasion.

Or like the Memorial to Victims of Communism in Canada that was mostly Nazis and collaborators on it.

I thought it was George Santos in the thumbnail for a moment. And was not surprised.

It appears those are specifically problems China is on the trajectory of solving/improving for itself.

The American CEOs going to China are returning to find those issues getting worse everyday with no solution in sight.

It felt a bit implied and would seem really contrived to reassure the reader China has those problems.

They need to report when it’s not Massie. He’s the ideological libertarian that’s less shit than Rand. It’s expected to see our Junkyard Wars star break from ranks when there’s no threat or risk to the policy.

It’s crazy reading reports about how some of these hostages were ‘kidnapped from their tanks’ with ‘other soldiers’.

Her creeping through AOC’s mailbox before she was a politician keeps her well in the ‘nope’ camp for me. She’s proving herself more dangerous right now IMO.

She knows two things well: 1: the Trump base and 2: that Trump ain’t lasting much longer.

She is likely going to maneuver into Speakership. She knows Trump isn’t lasting and this version of Greene she’s putting out will demolish Vance.

She’s playing to win a longer game.

It is really uncanny how pretty much the moment Trump announced his candidacy in 2015 every single tabloid rag in existence became credible news sources overnight.

Fedposting, obviously.

Well if they followed their leader…

In all likelihood they’d promptly revere their spattered articles of clothing as holy relics.

Another component is Sevestopol, within Crimea, which has largely been a (colonial) Russian city for almost its entire history. The USSR eedesignated it as a part of Ukraine in the 1950s.

Russia is the greatest nation for having defeated Napoleon.

That’s the example to choose?
