  • I hate Melina, the fact that I have to see this terrible news but simultaneously be reminded of that shitbag pisses me off so much

  • I think it is fair to interpret "and it's never us" as implying the OP is a westerner

  • So he has done nothing other than making a podcast and using his status for patreon and using "ChInA", "RuSsIa", and "IrAn" as some bullshit talking points and push for even more valorization of veterans. He isn't in Afghanistan submitting himself to their people

  • Him invading Afghanistan and murdering is pretty recent, but the new information is he is leveraging his veterans status (which americans cum over and throw patreon bucks at) to try to get elected to push for even more benefits for murders (while still throwing China, Russia and Iran under the bus)

  • Core Priorities:

    Veterans First

    Those who have served our country deserve our highest support—access to benefits, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive.

    lol of course

  • You should probably ask all the communities he helped terrorize and murder, or was that to long ago for you to care?

  • Charge him for the murder of (at least) 80 people and trafficking guns and drugs (I guess "narcoterrorism")

  • Yah, I watched a chinese show a while ago, and the romance was essentially nonexistent, I think there was one kiss for a marriage or marriage proposal and if I remember correctly the married couple slept in separate beds which left me wondering maybe most of the "anti gay" censorship isn't really significantly different from straight and generally pda being discouraged (whether officially or just general the people just generally don't want it so in your face or maybe there is some sort of "protect the children" mentality idk)

  • I think you underestimate how easy it was to change prices before these tags even dozens of times a day, if it was worth it they would have already been doing it as the economics and data have been there. Instead of calling out a problem that doesn't really exist (or exist as being portrayed, and frankly doesn't make as sense as so many here seem to think it does) it is better to look at how they are actually being used which is automation and optimizing gigification(which probably makes far more money and screwing workers over more than theoretically changing price of ice cream on a hot day or whatever).

  • I wouldn't put it past them to eventually do surge pricing, but changing prices is pretty easy without these(and knowing what to surge is easy, that is basically the whole christmas season, halloween season, thanksgiving, summer.... you see my point). A big part of how these are used is for online shopping and the "uber drivers of shopping" as these have flashing lights that they can basically follow. I suspect it will probably used (along with other automation and restructuring) as an excuse have less employees and basically turn it into a gig job while any theoretically slightly easier surge pricing is realistically not a major factor.

  • Looks at meme: DPRK genius for having nukes

    Empire will surely crumble if Venezuela and Colombia forces reach US soil, and large portions of US public won't be volunteering and calling to turn South America to glass... surely. Millions in South America won't die from civil war from propped up US aligned and US funded local forces, and US sanctioning and bombing them to the stone age while all that comes out of the international community is some strongly worded letters and pathetic protests or even support for taking down all these evil brown dictators and cartels who would dare attack the bastion of freedom and democracy.

  • If you don't think actions like these will destabilize/weaken and open up opportunism (and hopelessness) in the people, military, and government then you are very optimistic. If right wing coup happens, great for US, if left wing (or even just progressive) gains more support just rinse and repeat, maybe push to isolate even more. US (as a power) loses nothing as it is very clear American people and international community will do very little of note.

    If this ends up creating "blowback", it becomes "see we need to intervene more". Until US actions leads to boots on US soil, and US getting bombed to hell it stays winning (but guess what, US got nukes so even if the most advanced military isn't a deterrent the world would tremble... so it really has to come from the people in the US which won't happen).

  • Thanks for reminding me I need to find the veteran struggle sessions so I know who to block or at least not take seriously if any of them are still around

  • All the "Get Organized" haters are vindicated because they have amounted to nothing or even set backs... Not every action brings about revolution or topples empires or changes policy in a bourgeois state etc.

  • Has he done anything other than say some socdem things? Also disavowed being a communist lol (but apparently not his military past), so is it just DSA Bernie types trying to bat for Platner instead of like any other organizers?

  • Is this guy just some artificially propped up guy/war criminal that says he is a communist and now leftists(very broad) are fighting about it? I am pretty out of the loop on this just seeing posts here that seem to assume the context

  • Oh they (cops, FBI etc) are using this as a photo opp to basically justify more resources and general support

  • I don't watch hasan, but even people in here a shook and worrying about escalations and thinking what it means. Being a very public leftist figure is a lot closer to a death sentence than we would like (whether or not you agree with them or think they are too liberal or whatever)

  • That is exactly what I would bet they would reply with if they bothered replying
