It’s an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity.

I'm stealing the term "incellionaire".

With egg prices the way they are, we won't even be able to afford second breakfast. 😮‍💨

From the memorandum:

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

The US couping Ukraine's government to install a neo-Nazi regime back in 2014 (not to mention Orange color revolution in 2004) isn't a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty, but Russia responding to that is? Make that make sense.

I subscribe to historical materialism, which is apparently a pseudoscience according to that Wikipedia article.

None of that is fascism. It's just run of the mill liberalism.

China has over 3x burgerland's population. The least controversial fact about China is that it is a big country full of many Chinese.

Broke: Get things done.

Woke: Get shit done.

Bespoke: Make the shit done.

Yes. First as tragedy, then as farce. We're in the farce stage, for those not already aware.

I said that state capitalism, where the private ownership of the means of production still exists but under state control and regulations, is still capitalism...

Taking a snippet from Cowbee:

If a rubber ball factory is privately owned but the rubber factory is public, the public sector holds more power over the economy.

Given your answers and mentioning of Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, are you arguing that this state ownership isn't actually public ownership and that Dengists are the modern analogue to people from Marx and Engel's time who thought that Prussia under Otto von Bismark was socialist on account of its means of production being owned by the state?

What's an ABC and CBC?

I thought that dog had two heads at first.

I'd be surprised if your average Joe Ukrainian would want to lynch him. I could easily see him being lynched by some of the heavily armed Banderites who perceive his working towards peace as a stab in the back of the Ukrainian nation though.

Dude just wants to snort coke and play pianos with his peen in peace.

Maybe it's just because I'm a crackerburb cracker whose social circle comprises other crackerburb crackers, but in meatspace the opinions I've come across range from, at best, seeing the Chinese as backwards savages to, at worst, basically Satan.

Point taken. I still think it's cool though.

There's a Youtube channel run by a couple with a domesticated mountain lion.

The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England.

They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all "no, actually, the British Empire isn't evil enough. Let's make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth."

This is a human problem, not a national one.

It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.

That doesn't mean he was actually popular though.
