This is just the Clerks Death Star contractors debate all over again.

Analysis is not endorsement

Did it work?

And I’m sorry, but if you are an American and think anything less than, “holy shit, we are the most evil society to ever exist” then you are either incredibly ignorant or a psychopath.

Read some theory. It covers all of that

Yes, the US should close ALL of their foreign military bases and just let the countries “do their thing”. The world would demonstrably be a better place. We are the baddies

The level of violence has always been determined by those in power.

Honestly, reading your post and not knowing or seeing this apparently overt racism which you refer to, the first thought that comes to my head is, this is obviously a CIA or FBI agent. You mention purposely posting extreme strawman comments and then surprise pikachu facing when it’s upvoted. If I read a comment on here about mass sterilization of all white people, I might upvote it assuming it was a joke. And I’m white. Live in the imperial core. If you yourself are a privileged white person living in the imperial core, which I assume is so based on this post (although my money is still on you being a Fed), then maybe when you see a brown person genuinely calling for your death, then maybe you should stop and think about why they would think that. In the meantime, stop the leftist infighting and trying to sow division. Plus you explicitly say that Marxism is about “violent revolution”. I’m personally in favor of exploiting any means to enact my political agenda. I strongly favor non-violence largely as a self preservation tactic. And as has been the case in any revolution, the level of violence will be determined by the oppressive force.

Not today CIA, nice try FBI

Every dollar spent on the IRS brings in $5-9 in increased revenue by actually enforcing existing tax law. If this passes it will cost the American taxpayers between $71.5-128.7 billion dollars to blow up Palestinian children. That is what every lawmaker, and Biden if he signs it, is voting for. That much money could pay for free college for everyone currently enrolled for 1-2 years. Fuck Biden and this morally depraved genocidal government.

I live in a swing state and I will not be voting for Genocidal Joe next time around. I’ve always taken the approach that voting is the least we can do to try to bring about change in the world and have held my nose and voted for the “lesser of two evils” each and every time. But there is no greater evil in the world than supporting an actually existing genocide, both rhetorically and materially. I think libs don’t realize that Bernie, WAS the compromise and look at how much of a disappointment he has been on this issue. No more compromises, no more concessions, and we will not apologize

Sometimes I try to take a break from the news and touch grass or enjoy the latest entertainment, but even their circuses have gotten more shit. International communism when? Please

ok boomer

Correlating age with political beliefs is a fucking pseudoscience

I stopped reading here. No it’s not, it’s call statistical trends that have held up and gotten more right wing over decades. Yes, not all old people deserve the wall, but until a majority of them stop being selfish class traitors they deserve no sympathy or compassion. They, as a whole, are reactionaries who have had a “got mine, fuck everyone else” attitude their entire political lives. They have raped the earth and the global south and left their children and grandchildren with a lower standard of living and honestly only grim outlook for the coming decades. And overwhelmingly they still continue to show no remorse, no understanding of the death and destruction they are wreaking on the world, and so they deserve no compassion and should be treated as enemies just as any reactionary.

If russia wants to go nuclear, so be it.

Geez, NATO libs have really gone all in on nuclear armageddon won’t be all that bad actually. I’m sure you think you won’t be sent to the front lines if the US and NATO ends up in a multi front war with Russia, China, India, Brazil, multiple African nations, Cuba, Venezuela, and an ever growing list of other countries.

Maybe we should just chill out and accept that we live in a multipolar world and work together for common goals instead of fighting pointless wars to enrich the shareholders and prop up capitalism for a few more years before it collapses under its inherent contradictions.

“Nothing would fundamentally change”, and it hasn’t. At least he kept one campaign promise to his true constituents.

Just tax any home other than your primary residence at 100% of the assessed fair market value per year. Hell, make it 100000%. This includes apartments, condos, townhomes, mobile homes. It would solve a lot of problems real quick. Some “real estate moguls” might have to find a real job for once in their life but it will be good for them. I hear they like to hustle.

There may be some chiropractors that know it is a sham and therefore don’t do some of the more dangerous maneuvers out of fear of hurting someone and getting sued. But I’m not taking those risks and the entire practice is pseudoscience nonsense.

Traditional medicine, Chinese or otherwise, is bullshit. If some tincture happens to have some active ingredient that actual does something, then that ingredient has almost certainly been studied by actual scientists, purified, dosed, and available as a safe (relatively) form at your local pharmacy.

Acupuncture and cupping in particular are no better than placebo at relieving pain. Any temporary relief your partner receives from them is no better than a sugar pill that they are convinced will help them, or no better than the pain relief of a massage. What does everyone do when they bang their knee or elbow on something hard? We rub it. Why? Because rubbing stimulates the surrounding nerves and that extra stimulation helps to drown out and dull the sharp pain…temporarily. Any pain relief from acupuncture and cupping is no different and isn’t permanent. Your partner would be better off going to a licensed physical therapist, with an actual doctorate degree and deep understanding of anatomy. They will not only know techniques to temporarily relieve the pain, but also will be able to provide a custom exercise plan to strengthen the affected area to help prevent repeat injury.

Also a lot of non-scientific “medicine” is extremely dangerous. I know people have had serious injuries from acupuncture, but chiropractors are the worse. Don’t let anyone you care about go to a chiropractor. At best you become a repeat customer and waste a lot of money on a glorified massage from someone pretending to be a doctor, and at worst you end up a paraplegic or dead.

My mom was 17 when she got married, had to get her mom’s signature to allow it. My dad was 7 years older… (uhhhh, could be worse?, given the times? that’s all I got in your defense dad, lol). They were both poor so it probably was a financial and mutually beneficial relationship for a while. But she had her first kid at 19 and 5 in total. Brutal on her body and no ability to go to school, or work and gain experience. Just taking care of kids, full time, for almost 30 years. Then he cheated and they divorced and she went back to school, got a BS with awesome grades, and a full time job as an RN in her mid 40s. I hope no other 17 year old or younger girl has to go through that again.
