Several breeds of hunting dogs were developed by and for the working class — hell the entire German breeding program was designed specifically for the working class hunter. The Russian Spaniel was developed specially to be a hunting dogs adapted to urban apartment life. The fucking Epagneul Breton traces its roots to French peasants who bred and kept small, less conspicuous dogs for the purpose of poaching game from the estates of the French nonility. Hunting and hunting dogs are inexorably linked with the working class.

You know who cares about the historical pedigree of the ‘working class dogs’? Real leftists who, in true american fashion, live a well equipped suburban lifestyle while cosplaying as medieval poachers.

Unlike you I am not going to claim to be rural myself but I did live in a sparsely populated town for a third of my life. Half of our residents - around 30k people at the time - engaged in subsistence farming and hunting. They grew and processed manioc artisanally, which means they were dirt poor and could make use of the undeclared commons all around us to round out their diets.

The idea that hunting isn’t extractive is an alien one to me, given that our people engaged in it in order to survive. Hunting wasn’t a sport to them - and they sure as shit don’t know anything about the Epagneul Breton. Nor was it even a tradition (another concern of true leftists), as the moment things improved financially they became more focused on farming than on passing their hunting skills to their kids.

None of South America’s countries have even regional tier capacity to project power. Hell, we don’t even have power projection across all of our territories.

What has historically happened in the past is that neighboring countries try to help economies stay afloat via contraband and transshipment. It’s what Brazil’s dictatorship did to keep Argentina from collapsing during the Falklands War and its the best you can hope from even from an ideologically committed government in Brasília or Bogotá.

This is doomerist but had anybody gone to bat for Iraq in the early 2000s then all it would have meant is that countries like Libya, Syria, Lebanon and so on would have been destroyed earlier than projected. Its inhumane, it is cruel but even if all 400 million south americans saluted the courage of the Yemeni people, they’d still rather live in Saudi or UAE than Sanaa.

Nevermind the afterglow of the Jakarta Method as applied to South America - we have comprador elites in Brazil, but even those understand that their bottomline at this point requires a tough stance towards the USA and a concilliatory stance towards China. No, none of us can actually fight an invasion of Venezuela without being bombed into statehood failure ourselves. And that’s assuming we can even deploy there.

yeah but imagine the economic growth that will happen if it turns out the data centers need replacements earlier than expected

They just want to say its vaccines but are too cowardly to do it so they have flail around for anything but vaccines. The point is to pathologize the neurodivergent population and play into a magical thinking when it comes to health. It is a strain of american anti intellectual thought that is faced with the existential dread of things that people cannot control: your child being born autistic, you getting cancer, getting old and sundowning and so on.

immortality is at hand

guess how we can prove this? that’s right, bloodletting

and the kid got better because he had all of his blood?

lets not jump to conclusions here. correlation is not causation

I think the state of western capitalism is not so much ‘no strings attached on infinite government money’, its becoming ‘strings attached: spend it horribly’.

It is Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

I think this is a non starter rethorically because you’re making a rather subtle point. You’re not arguing that there are no things in China which a normie would identify with western capitalism, you’re the biggest accuser of Chinese neoliberalism. Nor are you arguing the reverse. You’re saying, if I’m not mistaken, that the government is still at the top of things and is at a crossroads when it comes to dealing with the ongoing characteristics: re-centralize development, cede power to the privates or, more likely, some combination of the two.

I say this is a non-starter rethorically because ‘Socialism with Chinese characteristics’ is a phrase used in the west with a bit a smirk, its the Chinese pretending they are still socialist.

sorry if me dreading this ongoing shift towards wars in south america hurt you in some way. i wouldn’t want american imperialists to feel emboldened over my posts in hexbear dot net. i grew up waiting for when it would be our turn on the war on terror and i suppose i’m a doomerist if i think thats on the horizon.

nothing that 5 different iraq wars can’t take care of, though

so there’s a year between depoliticized internet otakus laughing at the notion that one piece is political to protests from morocco to nepal using one piece as their flag. what’s up with that? yeah the protesters seem disorganized and depoliticized to the point where all they do coalesce around the notion that ‘bad things should stop happening and inequality is bad’, with no programme to get there but it is funny nonetheless.

Europe must offer support to the victims of the new BRICS powers

Europe can’t even accept Turkey’s accession into the EU and dragged its feet when it came to Bosnia. This ‘advice’ is like telling the french to be less racist towards the algerians in order to keep their empire.

if you can have crimes like driving while black you can have crimes like being shot at while unarmed

What’s funny to me is that they are now injecting US dollars into central banks that used to acquire them for their own purposes. I try not to believe the deluge of dedollarization bricsgrifting that the algorithm sends my way, but I can’t buy the FED justification that this is all due to a lack of liquidity everywhere either.

meink kampf

Couldn’t these swaps just be part of the ‘devalue the dollar’ masterplan that people like Varoufakis won’t stop talking about? If they wanted to counter Chinese influence they’d also target other parts of the global south instead of the golden billion + Mexico and Brazil. Especially Africa.

the problem with anarcho capitalism is that eventually you run out of imf money

i think he still does it

i half expect that if you poll about Putin in Ukraine you’ll get better approval ratings than kid starver’s
