Dems must want Israel to shut up about the ice cream and just take the weapons if they're sending in Feinstein. He's the UN ambassador of Israel as well, if he was raising an "important" issue they wouldn't route him to someone on committees that can't do anything and who'll forget the meeting after you leave.

If you want something less subtle than what's already been suggested, check out the Mises Institute. It's an ancap think tank whose founder has ties to the Brotherhood of the South which is exactly the type of group you'd expect. Actually do their website too, they have a Chinese language section for some odd reason.

Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Southwest China's Yunnan Province have all announced rules curbing Bitcoin mining. Absolutely glorious.

I fully support changing economic systems that make it hard for you to make the content that you want to make, but I'm not going to lie and say that I'll watch subpar content out of solidarity. There are literally millions of people trying to make it in creative fields, and thousands trying to make it in the exact niche that you're in. I can't support all of them, so I'll support the people who make good shit. I'm not going to lie to you to spare your feelings. I've been performing since I was a teenager and had to step back from it to feed myself, but I sure as shit didn't blame audiences for being less receptive to art that I didn't put as much work into.

Solidarity with the Brooklyn podcasters! :solidarity:

You're only that asshole if the correction if pedantic nonsense. Appreciate the correction!!

None of those arguments were meant to hold up. They exist only to plug the holes in the "would you rather have Trump?" discussion. They were presented as true and or being grounded in some kind of objective reality but if you stopped to reflect on 2008-2016 for two seconds it was immediately obvious that it was nonsense. But you're the unreasonable, unrealistic Berniebro and so there isn't much reason to defend this argument from the respectable center as it's largely tied to the thought terminating cliché of "would you rather have Trump?". Biden in any line of argumentation, if you took the time to unpack it, was in the superposition of almost as good as Bernie and not a radical, someone who could pull white moderates. Both of these couldn't be true.

It was kind of obscene that the argument he listened to the changing will of the people to handwave his direct hand in many of the issues he was promising to address. Unfortunately for liberals, they seem to love outing themselves in their memoirs (a tangentially related aside, when HRC described her slave staff in the AK AR governor's mansion, the inmates who were staff were convicted of assault/murder and specifically chosen because they presented no danger, begging the question why are they still incarcerated). Obama's most recent memoir giving away that if you network and fundraise among the high net worth crowd, you subconsciously adopt and begin to consider the class interests of those donors first. As Obama described it, literally becomes your ideology. Biden hadn't and wouldn't change. He simply got a marketing facelift.

Furthermore, it is obvious that battle lines are premediated behind closed doors and liberals kowtow around intraparty consensus in a party that runs the ideological spectrum from pro LGBT neocon to DSA-M4A-regieme change. Seeking bipartisanship is the cherry on top to guarantee no change while being able to lay the failure at the feet of a few individuals. Individuals who will be shielded by vote blue no matter who with no real introspection into the functional difference between an pro-LGBT neocon and a neocon. At the Federal level there is none. Not a finger in Congress has been lifted to protect trans comrades from barbaric state legislation.

When your audience has the attention span of a goldfish you can say whatever you want.

Putin, please publicize the USAID emails. Show us who the spooks are and what they're up to. :elmofire:

Even the centrist normie HRW has come around to calling the Israeli regime an apartheid. You can't really pretend that a few retaliatory rockets is the equivalent to ceaseless bombardment and apartheid any longer.

Unfortunately not, I was able to borrow a copy from my local library. I went casually googling to see if I could find any other source of publicly available transcripts and was kind of shocked there wasn't that much out there.

The FBI undercover agent did most of the work in that plot. I think Cuomo has taught these cretins the overpowered strat of simply refusing to budge until some other shit comes up that takes attention away from you.

If you want an actual perspective read Cuba on the Brink: Castro, the Missile Crisis, and the Soviet Collapse. It's a transcript of the Havana conference held after the Soviet archives opened up. McNamara, Fidel, the whole gang was there for a really unique intelligence sharing. Some fun takeaways:

• Soviet operators fully controlled the weapons and Khrushchev had to approve their use
• In US history, there is a mythological missile gap that did not exist, and specifically an IRBM gap that the Soviets were going to use to supplant their ICBM gap when in fact most of the ordinance sent to Cuba was not IRBMs but tactical nuclear devices like atomic artillery to be used against a ground invasion

Have you tried winning a nobel prize in economics? I heard it increases the hotness and correctness of your takes by at least 69%.

There's still content that's actually useful that gets through despite the algorithm of engagement. I think you have to treat the algorithm as a medium like film or oil on canvas more than anything. For example there's a really popular dude on douyin who gives really technical and phonetical advice to help native Chinese speakers of English tighten up some of their pronunciation in English and he has several million followers and none of his videos are useless clickbait.

Correct.

Imagine if they interviewed Paul Krugman. The genius behind this tweet

He may not foster it but there are a lot of "anti-authoritarians" in chat and his Discord who extension have really shit takes you'd expect from that demographic.

His chat always has been. He fosters a community of left-anticommunism and then there are liberals in the chat who either hate watch or are unware of their liberalism commenting and it's a disaster.

I've yet to hear a pro-crypto argument that isn't a criticism of the naked class interests of central banks but with extra steps.

2017

Three financial industry associations on Tuesday directed their members, which include banks and online payment firms, not to offer any crypto-related services, such as account openings, registration, trading, clearing, settlement and insurance, reiterating the 2017 ban.
