  • The western way is so much better: bomb the shit out of the country, extract all the natural resources on behalf of a megacorp, and leave them with crippling IMF debt.

  • It's amazing how much restraint was basically just tradition and not having a packed court.

    Turns out, you can do pretty much anything you want if nobody stops you.

    Meanwhile "I'm so weeeeeak" dem presidents can't cancel student loans or ensure healthcare.

    Droopy Don is out there slaughtering the government like a Grover Norquist wet dream and not a peep from the sensible liberal party.

  • It’s bogus. The whole idea is imperialism.

  • No single country should have the power to stop a near unanimous resolution.

  • They are past giving a shit or even pretending to give a shit.

    The Supreme Kangaroo Court will pretzel logic any damn thing Droopy Don wants.

  • The robber barons who own literally most of the wealth in this world will never allow anything like the new deal to happen ever again.

    Only the existence of the USSR and the very real communist/socialist movement in the west in the early 20th century could wring a dimes worth of social care from the grip of the gilded class.

    And even then, it was a bloody struggle. History points to the US only getting involved in the European theater in ww2 when it looked like the soviets were going to win and take the loot.

    Folks point to “lend lease” but it was far less important than what America claims.

    At any rate, there’s a snowballs chance in hell of even a democratic socialist revolution at the ballot box. They’re pulling out the stops to prevent a dem-socialist mayor in one city. It would be an all out assault for anything more. Hell, they’ll just have folks killed before they let that happen.

  • You are spot on.

    Also, the Nordic model is disintegrating in real time. Much like the new deal, any concessions won from the capitalist class can be rolled back or negated without a dictatorship of the proletariat.

  • Absolutely baffling thought. What possible motivation for chud on chud crime?

  • What absolutely baffles me is: how TF does anyone who purports to be a leftist say they don't support tankies?

    Exactly.. how does a socialist, communist or anarchist think revolution will happen?

    Revolution via the ballot box is by far the rarest form of socialist uprising and can anyone provide an example of communists taking power that did NOT involve violent struggle?

    I'm not advocating for violence but, pacifism as an absolute moral precept is a joke. If you listen to liberals, you'd believe that it was solely MLKs and Gandhi's peaceful ways that brought about change. History shows completely the opposite, but is it any wonder that the West lionizes "peaceful protest" while strongly admonishing any form of direct action?

  • NATO shouldn’t even exist. The whole purpose for it has long since passed.

  • It would work if the US made stuff. We don’t.

    They’re simply isn’t a manufacturing base. It was disassembled and sent overseas over two decades ago.

  • He doesn’t know how tariffs work.

    Those countries don’t pay the tariffs. We do.

    Dumbass is literally just making stuff more expensive for Americans. It’s only worth it if you’re trying to protect national industries.

    But barely any companies make anything here anymore.

  • Good. Hopefully it collapses before they plant a bunch of land mines everywhere.

  • Poor development! If something can be done, people will do it.

    Best way is to not allow it and provide no feedback.

  • Our group got hit with this today. We don’t have a choice. If you want to run Windows, you have to install this software.

    It’s why stuff like this is so crippling. Individual organizations within companies have to follow corporate mandates, even if they don’t agree.

  • Back when there were "mom and pop" AirBnb, maybe this was a bad thing. Now, a huge number of rentals are owned by companies with big portfolios specializing in short term rentals.

    It's become a really big problem in certain cities.

    I don't see this as a bad thing.

  • As Ann Richards so succinctly put it: born on 3rd base, thought he hit a triple.
