/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • TIL hexbear is an anarchist + communist unity project (???)

  • You see I'm basically a centrist.

  • RFK Jr on Trump's diet: "I don't know how he's alive"

  • What really jumped out is fucking vitamin C. It's an absolutely pointless supplement for people who aren't on sea voyages in the 16th century. Just eat a raw orange or something.

  • Minneapolis mayor: ‘I don’t support abolishing ICE’

    Jump

  • Border enforcement for the past two centuries have basically just been an international apartheid agreement to control the movement of undesirables while ensuring the free flow of capital. Borders only really exist for the poor.

  • Trump will live to be 100 and the preservatives will ensure his body never rots.

  • What kind of fucking "wallet" is that?

    Jump

  • My wallet is a phone case, and the phone has a little magnetic jacket I can pop out to stick onto any metal surface.

  • Folded like a piece of paper.

  • They have to strike a careful balance between not winning but still plausibly being able to win. Their ideal year is one where they lose every single election by a single percentage point.

    Jump

  • They think co-opting BLM hurt them and that "defund the police" was a bad political position.

  • Trump Administration Live Updates: President Threatens to Invoke Insurrection Act After Minneapolis Protests

    Jump

  • Yeah that's my point. He can just do whatever he wants and Democrats will make a strongly-worded speech condemning it.

  • Greenland Doesn’t Belong to Denmark Either - Left Voice

    Jump

  • I'd love to see how they could do that without being allowed to speculate on the currency and under rigid currency controls. Currency sovereignty means they can literally control who has the currency, speculators can't just buy it on the free market. A speculator would have to somehow acquire mass amounts of currency by trading physical goods or something else with real value for it (so no coming in with fistfulls of dollars and demanding they sell currency), and the government would be able to turn away customers that don't pass certain requirements.

    Of course then the US declares them "currency manipulators" like it does to any country that asserts its currency sovereignty and hits them with sanctions, but it doesn't look like they're safe from the US as-is so I don't really see much of a difference.

    This reeks of "the master protects his slaves and that's why slaves benefit from being enslaved"

  • That's what currency controls are for 🙄

  • Greenland Doesn’t Belong to Denmark Either - Left Voice

    Jump

  • Denmark still claims currency control over Greenland. They can't print their own money.

  • It's pretty cool that Simón Bolívar can actually be spotted in the historical timeline.

  • Trump Administration Live Updates: President Threatens to Invoke Insurrection Act After Minneapolis Protests

    Jump

  • If he can declare an insurrection without an insurrection, he can justify a violent crackdown without protesters being violent.

  • I dont care for racing games. UNLESS

  • Garfield Kart is the only racing game series I need.

  • same tbh

  • Gustavo Petro voices support for Gran Colombia

    Jump

  • Gran Colombia could deficit spend, Venezuela couldn't.

  • Joe Rogan criticizes ICE tactics: 'Are we really going to be the Gestapo?'

    Jump

  • That's 71.4% of the country you're writing off. You're setting yourself up to lose.

    A lot of the protesters in the streets are people who don't vote for Harris and you have to recon with that. Voting is merely one tactic among many, there are lots of ways to be involved in politics. The fact that someone disagrees with you about a single tactic doesn't mean they're irrelevant, it just means you have to find common ground in other ways.

    Or we're all going to die.

  • Gustavo Petro voices support for Gran Colombia

    Jump

  • It still introduces the problem of being unable to deficit spend. Venezuela specifically makes a lot of use of deficits to fund its reforms and programs, if they couldn't do that anymore how would the system even function?
