DISCOVERY OF THE INTERNET?!?!?!?
not INVENTION?
DId someone just find a bunch of tubes out there and go "OMG, there it is, the fabled lost Internet"
If they say the US discovered the internet, they don't have to credit countries like the USSR for helping to create it
Ehhh, I think its pretty safe to say "The Internet" was mostly a US invention. ARPANET and NSFNET came from Americ.a. I guess some of the packet switching tecgnology was invented in the UK, but TCP/IP and OSI were boh first created in the US
My understanding was that there were several attempts to develop what would later become the internet we understand today. I know the US really took off with it, but I think the USSR deserves some credit.
In USSR, the first computer networks appeared in the 1950s in missile defense system at Sary Shagan. In the 1960s, the massive computer network project called OGAS was proposed but failed to be implemented. Apollo–Soyuz USA–USSR joint space program (1972–1975) used digital data for spaceships transmitted between two countries. Since the late 1970s, X.25 Soviet networks began to appear and Academset emerged in Leningrad in 1978.
Arpanet was beginning to be constructed only after the Soviet network models were known to the actors involved in creating ARPANET. Though the idea to connect things via metal wasn't new, the idea to have controllers and nodes wasn't new, either. Still were good ideas and natural results from the material conditions and problems arising from those systems.
Al Gore invented it? These slimy dems changing the narrative at every turn!
Maybe politics isn’t just theater and they’re all actually trying really hard?
"Our commitment to human rights"
Bruh a person dies like every day because of the cops in your nation.
“No, I’m not an American. I’m one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I’m not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver — no, not I. I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.” -Malcom X 1964
I mean it's not a myth it's just social democracy. The part that most people don't get is that maintaining it requires extremely strong unions and constant vigilance from the working class.
The “middle class” is just semi-proletarians and the petty-bourgeoisie. You see the headlines the middle class is shrinking and that is just the proletarianization of those two groups (and other smaller segments) as the explicitly bourgeoisie and capitalist extract more and more from the proletariat.
Since middle class isnt really a marxist category, afaik, i was using the colloquial definition of owning your own home, kids going to college, 2 cars, ect. I was talking about standard of living. Because what im describing used to be possible for the american proletariat
With the filibuster maintained he knows he can say and pander to whomever he wants
Yep he's just a sockpuppet, those two ghouls behind him are the real capos
Presidency is just a PR role at this point. Got the chaos of the house and minority rule in the senate to shut that shit down if something gets through. President has veto power but congress can overturn it lol
I mean the president still pretty much entirely conducts foreign policy
I’ll argue they are the face of it. But all of those gears and levels are operating from the State department, Intelligence agencies, NSA, etc. The president is still in the PR role of it all, trying to justify and explain those foreign policies choices to us and the world in general.
Fuuuuuuck you 'let's raise the minimum wage'
Bitch, YOU COULD HAVE
God damn it's almost believable that he cares about this shit but then you remember that all of these plans are wildly insufficient for the task they're tackling and he knows it and is actually making sure that's happening. "Cutting childhood poverty in half" :agony: Because this motherfucker would never want to see it brought to 0. God damn him
Tried to cut child poverty in half, but messed up and ended up just cutting poor children in half.
Something-something we’ll prepare vaccine arsenal to deploy, which reads like hoard vaccines and dangle them before people
CNN saying that Biden has to defeat China
mask-off cold war, JFC
Then the other host just agreed and said he/we have to “beat China”
What do they actually want to happen to China?
Here comes the 'good cops' take from Joe
We need to rebuild trust! By changing nothing!
