Maybe if it didn’t stink like a dead nazi, people would buy it.

I dunno, I kind of like the smell of dead nazis.

no unit tests huh.

Ill read it

I cant think of anything more fitting than a FIFA gold trophy for trump. FIFA is the gold standard for massive corruption.

Maybe the IOC should send a gold medal too.

ah yes, the covetted Russian passport. Finally he will be able to explore his passion for cabbage, potatoes and onions. Lucky bastard.

EU should be deploying the bazooka on American tech anyway. American business patterns are abusive and predatory completely ignoring public good and privacy concerns. Its past the time to be sitting on hands in reining them in. Force them out and replace them with local businesses that follow the rules.

The same goes for the EU's stance on gaza-- we are well past the "wait and see" stage of anything and into delays being little more than paid corruption and implicit genocide support.

Trump is right on one assumption, the EU is as weak and ineffective on these matters as he is. The larger EU markets are like baby birds with their mouths open waiting for the US to vomit food into their mouths.

"You should read up on my point of view" is not the compelling elevator pitch I was hoping for.

lefties take that word "liberal" as an insult. Was that your intent? If I was a liberal I wouldnt be advocating burning the DNC down, but maybe you dont use the same phrasing as I do. I used to call myself a liberal 20 years ago when it didnt mean DNC centrist. Now liberal = centrist and its usually used as an insult.

Also, Anarchy is defined as an absence of government, is that truly your solution for the questions of government? Being blunt-- I dont see how you'll get much done with anarchy besides having fun for yourself, and itll inevitably devolve to might-makes-right, which has inherently bad outcomes that are darn close to authoritarianism.

Are you young? I remember being in my 20s and talking about anarchy, that was fun. But I also held a lot of petitions, cleaned a lot of piss off of.. everything from shelters, worked with refugees, beat sick kids at Candy Land as a playroom coordinator in a hospital cancer ward, painted and constructed houses, held classes for kids around how to eat healthy, called for donations, knocked on doors for candidates, volunteered in a list of organizational celebrations and functions, and I'm still at it because I dont know what else I can do. My wife does nothing but community work that occasionally brings in grant funding.

all of that would be a lot less possible under anarchy. So I dont see the end goal of what you are doing and how you are choosing to do it. If you think I am wrong on that I'd be curious to know why. Yes, it increasingly feels futile, hence my asking this question.

Anarchy seems like a ... dilettante's solution to a set of real and pressing issues that probably cruelly add pain to a lot of good people who didn't end up with as much luck in life as you and I enjoy. I'm not about to starve and I dont worry about money much.

my bad. Agreed

Trump will destroy the courts and elections. Then the rest doesnt matter. Any idiot republican will be able to slide right in.

well hitlers gone and the holocaust is being conducted by the zionists now. So is that the holocaust you want to stop?

then he ran for NYC mayor and lost that too.

It was already a hollow shell centered on little more than donor check harvesting anyway. It stopped caring about its constituents long ago.

We dont need no water let the Centrist DNC burn. Burn motherfucker. Burn.

I dont know that we can possibly fuck ourselves any harder than we are now, but I know we will try.

I'd be proud to personally sponsor a small metal cage (surplus from guantanamo) leg and arm shackles, and a few orange jumpsuits for this noble cause. Or several, if we can get gallant, netenyahu, smotrich, and ben-gvir too. Proper justice gets expensive.

Canadians were mega pissed at americans back in March. I'm not sure how much lower we can sink in their estimation. 0% favorability is coming up quick.

This is also about proportionality and perspective. I care a lot more about people being killed than about one particular group being casually biggoted against. I see antisemitism as a comparatively minor injustice when compared directly to the injustice of Israeli crimes against humanity. And no one talks about the vast issue of anti-muslim bigotry and anti muslim violence, which seems to me to be far more virulent and damaging in its injustice and violence than the effects of anti semitism.

I say people who wring their hands about anti semitism should get in line with all the rest of the victims of terrible biggotry while we all deal with this israeli terrorism and colonization problem. Anti semitism is a problem, but it doesnt rank highly against other more directly impactful problems, right? I rank it right up there with British anti-Irish sentiment. Anti Irish sentiment is a problem, but not worth imprisoning people for years for having that bigotry.

Anti semitism is nothing compared to the 80 years of murderous crimes by the zionists, with their laughing "mowing the grass" strategies. Its nothing compared to anti black prejudice in the US. And nothing compared to oppression of women globally.
