  • This is probably very likely. Do we think Liz Cheney is going to vote straight Democrat down the ballot? All this shifting to right wing points to get Republican votes could mean Harris wins the Presidency, and then the Rep voters switch back for every other race..




  • This is already widespread, just in private hands. The youtube comments are like 60% bots, especially on political content. "Randomnames1914: I'm a (random age) (random ethnicity and gender) and I will be voting for Candidate Y!" The sock puppet use and AI content makes the internet truly garbage now. It'll soon be FBI ad State Department entrapment bots talking to Marketing bots on an AI generated video or article...


  • I loved GURPS. My brother and I played all the time. Also want to shout out Kevin Crawford's Stars without Number if you're looking for a scifi game. He has a free to download basic version, which is fully playable, and a paid version which has some optional rules and tools..

    I prefer Basic fantasy for fantasy gaming but Worlds Without Number is also a great option (again free and premium versions)..









  • The problem here is that enabling violence in any form outside, leaks right back in. You don't think the Anti-China rhetoric ramped up Anti-Asian violence in the United States? The Dems' unconditional backing of the Israeli "human animals" treatment got a Palestinian boy and his mother stabbed to death in Chicago. Your vote is the ONLY bargaining chip you have in this "democracy" in North America. If you fail to apply conditions, you're just rubber stamping any horrific policy that the administration enacts.


  • Again, this public/ private partnership garbage. FDR just created jobs to do the work that needed to get done. Modern Congress critters are all about tax credits, and giving money to Corporations to beg them to hire people. So rather than just hiring people to do Society's work, we must pay Capitalists to maybe hire someone. This is absolutely why people have lost faith in the capacity of the US Govt. They see money getting thrown around, but instead of benefiting directly, they see a small percentage get returned as indirect hiring. So no-one sees government working for them..absolute shite..


  • Why are Democrats giving money to "Democrats" who won't support their agenda? Why did the DNC support Manchin and Sinema financially, but actually give money to Republicans over Progressive Democrats? You can't be against Fascists, but still financially support them over Social Democrats...An unemotional look at the DNC's behaviour shows that even if you got 70 Senators, the things we want would not get done. The Democrats are closer to the Republicans than any Socialist/ Communist/Anarchist in here..



  • The ongoing War against China is holding the world hostage. The ghouls running Western Civilization KNOW that we're in endgame, but they can't resist trying to prevent China from developing. If the clock is running on fossil fuels, every nation should be trying to spend the last allowance on projects for the populace general welfare. That means Public transportation, public housing, etc. Which China is doing while the 5 eye countries pump money into their militaries...


  • Do you live in the US? Just curious? I always hear white US liberals make this argument. They are terrified of random violence, but seem totally fine with targeted structural violence against other ethnicities, cultures, and class backgrounds.

    For example, one of the side effects of the constitutional carry boom, similar to the decriminalization of marijuana, is the reduction of arrests and killings by police of African American men. Why? Because police use marijuana and weapons charges to arrest and select young black people for assault.

    Whenever I ask, how will you prevent black , poorer, and indigenous people from being targeted by the police enforcing your weapons laws, there is no answer. They either don't care or willingly want poorer people, or non White's to be eliminated or have their rights stripped.

    Bad construction comrade. Your argument is paraphrased thus:

    Egyptian famines are a result of a lack of wheat, therefore any country that doesn't grow wheat is in a famine.

    The welfare system in the stated Nordic countries is indeed funded by imperialism. But the reverse is not necessarily true. Some imperial countries do not distribute the gains among the citizens.

    Post hoc fallacy here..in these cases, the welfare state does develop after imperialism, but that doesn't mean that imperialism created the welfare state...

    Some countries have social programs without ever being imperialist. It just means less wealth to redistribute
