On behalf of the mathematically challenged:

FDR didn't have all these obstacles back in the day.

Yes he did. The difference was that he had to respond in a way that satisfied a militant labor movement without going too far to disrupt the capitalist class. It was a fight up hill the entire way by working class union members.

Deny, Defend, Depose

That's not what put the nail in the coffin though, it was unions threatening a general strike that ended the order

Well I mean as long as their fists never touch, it should work just fine

And yet people wonder why the CEO was killed.

And to the older kids in the crowd, don't forget to rebuild your nazi punching arm if you thought it was safe to retire it

I'm not going to play this game of semantics. You're right, they aren't exactly the same. Because I rephrased it for clarification I thought was missing. They mean the same thing. If you want to argue that removing heated language in the name of understanding fundamentally altered what I have to say, then that's your deal. I want productive conversations, not word lawyering. I get enough of that from fighting work with my union.

Read those words, all of them, with equal weight. Maybe you just need some contextual editing and a rephrase to grasp this.

Right now, statements from the US military involving both the words "defensive strike" and any Middle Eastern country are extremely dubious and should not be trusted.

Are you intentionally misconstruing what I say? Because that is also not what I'm saying. The words I write are exactly what I mean.

I didn't say it wasn't a thing. I'm saying that anything involving "defensive" and a Middle Eastern country from the US military is a damned lie right now.

I don't believe a single word of that justification.

Considering the region and "step on me harder" Blinken, I don't believe a goddamn word of that justification and I'm surprised you do.

Ah yes, the famous defensive first strike.

Just wait until they try heating the raw milk in a pressurized container at 200° F

On the other hand, I'm autistic and have no frame of reference for some of the things I want to do. How can I just show somewhere alone without knowing the social norms?

P2E is union made too, if you need any other reasons

I don't know if you noticed, but the B stands for Brazil and those 2 countries aren't exactly buddy-buddy. Treaties are more than their constituent members.

Monday problem.

I'm friends with most people I meet. There are only a few friends that I'm comfortable with in all circumstances, however.

I'm friends with my coworkers and enjoy their company at work. It's very different if I were to be invited somewhere outside of work, and is very contextual. Meeting because of our union? Absolutely. Meeting just to hang? Let me get back to you in 6 weeks. Meeting for beers? You said the magic words, see you in the bar 5:30 sharp.
