I don't know what you're on about wrt "media policy" but I'm not saying Americans are communists. It's been demonstrated in survey after survey that social-democratic positions are generally the most popular.

Could I interest you in adding a direct object to the sentence?

This is much less snappy than it is grammatically ambiguous.

Trump obviously comes from real estate, but his current money-making on a direct level is decidedly media-driven. The question is who gives him money and who benefits from his policy, and I think the answer is that he has a relatively larger amount of support from the petite bourgeois.

I think that's grass-is-greener thinking and the lesson is that both the good cop and the bad cop work for the same police department.

A vote for Hindenburg was indeed a vote for Hitler, so I think the moral is that caping for a lesser evil instead of trying to build good (and those two things are normally opposed) is not a constructive behavior. I couldn't give less of a shit who you personally vote for, that's the consumer-lifestyle version of political engagement. I do care somewhat what you advocate for, because promoting the lesser evil is still promoting evil over good (using the overly moralistic phrasing of the adage).

Withholding support from Nazis (on any substantial level) is plainly the better option if you want to not need to keep choosing between two Nazis.

If all that was at play here was mere democracy, we'd have an M4A candidate. The population is solidly to the left of either party on the majority of issues, but they get no voice because liberal democracy is an exercise in choosing between the options that capitalists have picked for you.

In terms of federal representatives, that's rather like a poor white German supporting the Strassers.

Accountability problems with funneling infinite weapons to an Apartheid settler state? No way, the US has a high degree of integrity about such things

Don't forget NewPipe

Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall goes brrr

Intellectual integrity applies to everyone publishing shit for a general audience, even if journalistic integrity does not

Also, like, the paper is still publishing it

Its ethnonationalist policies would violate Federal law pretty severely, and then the US is explicitly on the hook for Israel's war crimes, terrorism, assassinations, etc.

Hoxha thought the Cubans were nationalist revisionists, but I don't think Che would be seen as a Khrushchevite except in the sense of working with the Soviets

Ask them about fucking Washington next. They are "troubled" by the people who freed slaves much more than they are troubled by those who kept slaves.

Who wins in the end is beside the point, since the time adblock works is a victory for it

But yes, YT has a set of substantial advantages over any free service

Amazing projection, considering those nasty Israelis are currently running the world's largest concentration camp and are working on converting it to a death camp.

Maybe my brain is fried, but I think you aren't think big enough if "long term damage" is the hazard in the highest gravity area vs a person just being flattened like they're in a press (which means people wouldn't go there, but it could have industrial uses).

An interesting part is how states of matter would vary due to gravity causing pressure, though with the relation between pressure and temperature I don't know exactly how it would work.

Playing video games is generally regarded as unproductive, so you're in the same boat. Reading and listening to podcasts are things that are simultaneously demanded and disparaged because productivity messaging is incoherent, but whatever.

Because this is still feel-good philosophical liberalism rather than a critique of capital that has teeth
