  • How can you have a problem with Cowbee? They are the most well-read and patient poster that I see on Lemmy. I can understand disagreeing, but saying Cowbee is "pushing shit" isn't accurate.

  • Nukes are almost solely a deterrent. That is, nobody invades a nuclear power. Absolutely nobody is going to nuke a country because they nationalized a port or something. You can't seriously think otherwise.

  • The military is used to establish and maintain economic supremacy. See any time a country moves to nationalize US "interests". Without the threat of military force (direct or proxy), the supremacy can't be maintained. Maybe China will behave the same way at some point, but at this point it's little more than projection to suggest so. Shrug all you want.

  • I was in DC on Saturday too, and I also have been going since W Bush's first inauguration, and several anti war protests after that. I always enjoy seeing people out on the street, but I also feel like these protests don't really accomplish anything as such. They are just really easy to ignore, unfortunately. Participants feel good about themselves, and hopefully build relationships with new people. But did that crowd on Saturday threaten anyone? Did any elected officials (R or D) feel nervous about it? Were there any demands made that will be met? Again, I do appreciate so many people taking the time to protest, but I hope that plenty of them have a line at which they will take stronger action, and that it doesn't come too late.

  • I don't think that this is point of the thread. China isn't looking to replace the US as the global hegemon. Australian mining companies also create ecological disasters abroad, but nobody confuses this with Aussie world domination.
