/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Mayor of Southern California city to plead guilty to acting as agent of China, feds say

  • Since you won't answer the question, I guess I have to assume you love jeebus, love capitalism, and love 'murica.

    You'd better, because if you don't, they're going to fucking kill you. You'll die because you refused to put aside sectarian differences because you believe, somehow, you can defeat US fascism without working together with the US's enemies.

    We hang together or they’ll hang us separately.

  • I can recognize what the bigger problem is. Don't you believe in supporting the lesser evil?

  • Answer the question: “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” - do you fit any of those?

    Because you'll die in a camp right beside me unless we work together. When the US starts rounding up dissidents into camps, US enemies are going to be the only ones that might help us. Europe won't dare disagree with daddy.

  • Uh huh. Well, the Trump administration is officially designating anyone with “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views as a terrorist. Do you fit any of those? Then you'll put put in the concentration camp right along side of me unless we fucking together and you stop punching left.

  • Claiming that the Al-Aqsa Flood didn't occur is antisemitic, and also erases heroic Palestinian resistance.

    But Israel 100% deserved it and Zionism is a genocidal ideology. Zionists rape Palestinians in their torture dungeons.

  • I would like to point out that Democrats consistently vote to increase the military budget, even when Trump is president. The most recent defense authorization act received 115 yes votes from Democrats to 94 no votes. On domestic issues you can make the argument that Democrats are a lesser evil, but when it comes to the empire the evil is bipartisan.

    The main difference between Republicans and Democrats on foreign policy is that Democrats are better at it.

    That's not good. Iran was in really bad shape before the war started, another few years of the maximum pressure sanctions campaign and they'd eventually be dealing with enough civil unrest that justifying a "humanitarian intervention" would be possible. Instead of the US and Israel attacking on their own, NATO would have helped topple the government like they did in Libya.

    Instead we got Republicans, who fumbled this so hard that Iran is winning and on the cusp of being a regional hegemon. The US empire is spiraling towards collapse at this rate and I am 100% here for it.

  • Putin hints at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine, but why now?

  • Since the article doesn't mention it, the obvious reason is the energy crisis changing the conditions for negotiation. Supply disruptions will strangle Europe in the coming weeks, putting immense pressure on their coalition to make territorial concessions.

  • Plastic is a hard problem to solve since meaningfully recycling most of it requires a expensive energy and chemical inputs.

    Also, I'm running into some weird math. Doing some light searching, China’s plastic consumption demand will reach a peak at 119 million tons in 2030. That means their recycling target will be able to meet 16% of total plastic demand in China, but for comparison, China recycles 17% of it's plastic today. I doubt China is aiming for plastic recycling to remain about the same if it's supposed to be a new national target - I guess they might not be looking to increase the percentage of recycled plastic and are only interested in keeping up with demand? Or, probably likely, something is wrong with my sources because I can't get behind paywalls. 🤷‍♀️

  • Loneliness epidemic. They're not really being recruited, they're just going to the last non-commodified social space left.

    It's not like you need to believe in gods to pray, sing, or attend service. It's just a place to be welcomed by other people.

    Unlike the internet, which is a place to feel lonely. Just enough social interaction to remember what you're missing, never enough to satisfy.

  • Yeah, it's actually more complicated than just being mask-on vs mask-off. It turns out that only the competents wear their mask, because they're competent enough to know why they're wearing a mask. The incompetents think that masks are woke.

  • No. Profit is revenue in excess of costs, yes, but the cost of building a table isn't merely the cost of the materials. Costs also include the time and effort spent building the table, the time and effort spent learning to build tables, the cost of acquiring tools with which to build, the cost of having a space in which to build, and the cost of finding customers to buy the table.

    When you factor these other costs in to the table, the builder breaks even. Yes, even if they end up with more money than with which they started. They simply exchanged their time and effort for money, but they can never get that time back can they?

  • Instead of paying workers what they are worth, they are paid a market wage that is always less than the value they produce.

    That's where profit comes from. All profit is theft.

  • U.S. intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump’s Hormuz blockade for months

  • This assumes that they can outlast Iran.

    They can't. Iran can maintain control of the Strait longer than Western economies can survive high energy prices.

  • They'll continue to become more and more unpopular, though. Winning elections isn't always enough to remain in power, they still need legitimacy. If they keep making things worse and rig all the elections, people will turn to other means.
