  • (I want to be clear that I'm not advocating for accelerationism, I'm just seeing holes in the argument) Pushing people in a vulnerable position now to make change for the future is a great example of the needs of the many ethical arguments. Advocating against change because it hurts me in the short term is inherently selfish. I know people that are accelerationists, and The ones I know don't assume that they'll come out ahead or even the same. They recognize that the system is inherently broken and they think they need more people uncomfortable to make meaningful change.

  • Any American that thinks you're going to be able to vote this regime out is either not paying attention or a complete shill

  • Reminder that this incredibly evil guy referred to trump as 'uniquely evil'

  • Was it the big one? I used to watch that regularly on Detroit stations in the 90s. He was good.

  • I was going to buy a series x this year, but with the increase in game pass price, it's just not worth it anymore.

  • Bullets?

  • The drones used in the Russia Ukraine war aren't stealth. They're very loud. It's rare you see combat footage where the victim isn't aware of the drone. They've been effectively used as anti personnel and anti equipment devices. A swarm could be used effectively to overwhelm positions. I have suspicion that this is to counter the upcoming anti drone technology that shoots them with lazers. It could also allow one person to push groups into kill zones.

  • There's a lot of unsaid assumptions going on here. If you're talking about turning our society completely without any preparation, I'd agree. If you're talking about having similar levels of healthcare or I strongly disagree

  • The math still doesn't add up. Typically there's a 3x difference between casualties and fatalities, but this is saying that there's a 6x difference.

  • First bullet and last bullet contradict each other. Last bullet implies that 96 000 people died in the year for those territorial gains. First bullet says that all new recruits are just replacement for the dead. But the 96 000 dead can be replaced in 3 months.

  • Some players don't know how to jam. It's fairly easy, and almost entirely rhythm based. If it's the type of player that thinks playing a song is the same, I can see your point

  • As a very mediocre bassist who took lessons a long time ago, this is really good advice. Whoever down voted probably can't read

  • What incentives are there for European car makers to make cheaper cars when the government supports them like this?

  • From your source: 'Beginning in January 2019, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, the U.S. applied additional economic sanctions to individuals or companies in the petroleum, gold, mining, and banking industries'

    If you check the GDP per capita of Venezuela it was increasing at positive rate immediately after Chavez took power.

    Life expectancy was also increasing after Chavez had taken over. https://data.who.int/countries/862

  • Most Venezuelan refugees cite crime, access to food and healthcare as reasons for leaving. Guess what US sanctions were causing. If you guessed lack of food and supplies for healthcare which caused an increase in crime, you'd be correct.

    If socialism doesn't work, why do they spend so many resources making sure it fails?

  • The majority of Venezuelan refugees cite crime, inflation and lack of food/health security. Those problems are a direct result of US sanctions. The US implemented those sanctions to destabilize the government. It looks like it worked

  • Liberal is an actual ideology. A hallmark of liberal thought is that business can do things better than government. Leftist thought starts at capitalism is bad, and is much deeper than you think. Democrats of all types are liberal. The kicker is so are the Republicans. It's one reason that Republicans are able to push the Democrats to do anything they want. They don't fundamentally disagree on things.
