Yeah, bombing Iran has nothing to do whatsoever with human rights. It’s all about Israel’s interest and whoever else shares it. If we cared about human rights and couped governments for that, we’d be all up in the Gulf’s ass, Israel’s (because of Gaza, West Bank), among others. Even if that was the goal, history informs us that the chances of a government that’s better for human rights is less likely than a worse one. Some Zionist acquaintances took a week of glorifying Israel’s “victory” in Iran, before turning around to shit on Gulf countries and China for their human rights abuses. I’m so done with this shit…

the salute focus on the 1991-95 ethnic war in Croatia, in which he fought using the American firearm, after the country declared independence from the former Yugoslavia.

Ah the old reliable anti-communist gotta fascist rule.

That’s pretty horrific. The working population is important to maintaining Ukraine’s ability to fight. It probably factors in Russia’s intent to finish the war instead of agreeing to a ceasefire.

Aren’t most US elections FPTP? If so, during the election he’ll split the right vote which boosts Democratic/other candidate’s chances. If they get a few senators elected with Democrats getting fewer than a majority, then for sure the plan would work as you described it.

Twas probably a close second.

That’s not good because they should be a major speed bump on the road to fascism.

The US has been the biggest long term enemy to the working populations of the world since the end of the WWII, including its own. Throw a pin on the map, and you’re likely to hit a place that’s been affected by a war started or fought by the US, or a place where the US has had a hand in destroying worker power in order to for American business to extract resources and labour for cheap, or a sanctioned place where working people are made to suffer in order to overthrow their government, or a combination thereof.

If this information is true and the Chinese officials weren’t bullshitting, then leaking this doesn’t sound like a good move on the European official end.

Doesn’t their economy have a way bigger production capacity than Russia’s? Why would they want to replicate Russia’s? China seems much more successful at manufacturing at scale.

Isn’t some of this an indictment of the federal worker unions? Shouldn’t the federal gov’t been ground to a halt by cross-agency strikes by now? What’s the unions’ strategy here?

I see Live Nation is expanding in Europe. Get ready for ticket prices to skyrocket.

That would make the situation even worse by reducing the pool the rich have to buy to get the majority to contribute to their wealth even more. The problems we face with democracy aren’t driven by poor education. Poor education is a component but it’s a consequence of the main driver which is accumulation of wealth in few hands. Those use that wealth to keep it and accumulate more by buying elected officials, buying campaigns, running their own people, buying the media, defunding the education system that educates the majority, etc. Reducing the voting power of the majority would make this cheaper to do for the owner class, which would lead to increased exploitation and decrease in the living standards of the majority. Eventually leading to social unrest of some sort. Instead you want to introduce more democratic power for the majority, especially where the generated wealth is separated from them - in the workplace. If you get democracy in the work place, the workers would likely vote to keep more of the value they produce, leaving less to accumulate as wealth in the owner class. Leaving less money to buy elected representatives with the owners and more money with workers to buy political representation of their own.

No issues with Debian / Ubuntu on many laptops since early 2010s, mostly with Intel graphics. I had a Vostro 1400 with Nvidia and it also resumed fine, but that was 2009-11 so the experience with the Nvidia driver from that time is likely irrelevant.

There’s nothing that could possibly go wrong with this strategy. 😂

Ooh, so Iran is also involved in this one.

It’s great but that fan is an overkill. 😂

Wait, aren’t the arrest quotas higher than 1000 per day? This concentration camp can hold 3 days worth of abductees.

On miticide resistance from 2001. Looking at what’s required to keep resistance down… can’t see how that could have been achieved without heavy regulation, and the US is all outta regulation.

100%. And I think such a status quo would be much more easy to organize voters against. Picture AOC talking to a crowd and saying how the oligarchs have 2/3 of politicians in the form of those two parties and we need to close the gap by electing more of ours - 15-20 more. Now it’s like - the oligarchs are buying politicians. OK, which ones? OK, what do we do, run independents or primary them within the Democratic party? What other shit can the party pull to fuck us over? Could be totally wrong, I’m just thinking here.

o asked not to be named. “We do not recognize ourselves anymore in Trump’s administration. There is a strong movement out there in the party to reclaim the values we were raised on and reclaim the middle ground.”

Translation: “Omg can you believe this leopard is eating my face? Now that I’m perso

But getting fucked by 51-49 votes is I think much more difficult to solve than getting fucked by 65-35 votes. When there’s 1-2 votes diff, people don’t know why they’re fucked and what needs to be done to stop it. When it’s 65-35, it’s much more obvious what is to be done and what campaigns have to do to organize voters.
