remind me what happened that month again?

Kamala looks old because of cop phrenology

he’s like the 44th

it’s tragic, but some republicans are known to be relatively personable.

yeah it’s no worries, it’s enough to say I need to study more modern Marxists.

more like yappatinsky am I riht?

I don’t think he believed it as he was writing it… he was just hoping the Zionist military domination was so thorough that Palestinians would either be too dead or too desperate that they would abandon hope and submit. he was just throwing a bone to the more squeamish Zionists who (through pure delusion) thought there was a more humane way to colonize Palestine. he correctly acknowledged this was ridiculous, but instead of giving him any sort of moral pause he goes “if you think Zionism is immoral then you shouldn’t have become a Zionist. checkmate liberal.”

I thought currency has value in large part from state collecting tax in that currency. is what you’re saying distinct from MMT? if you can point to some sources on the topic I’d appreciate it.

particularly this part if you can explain further:

All that matters is can the issuing agency back up the creditors issuing the debts, or is the issuer too large to be effectively challenged by creditors.

what does “back up the creditors” mean?

I know what you’re saying, and mostly agree, but fiat being “based on confidence” sounds like the crypto bro ancap argument. the only “confidence” fiat is based on is the confidence that the issuing government will put you in jail if you don’t have enough of it.

they named it after a fash essay by jabotinsky called “the iron wall”. the thrust of this essay was “if we put the Arabs on the other side of an iron wall, maybe in 3 generations they won’t be so mad anymore?”

he admitted to being on his phone? manslaughter aside, he needs to be in prison because he’s too stupid to be allowed back in society.

Broadway singer

Yeah, sure I did. You are a liar and an intellectual coward.

interesting. but I don’t think her views sound very alien, the view of “racism is over” is widespread. and on the other issue, national unity is important because it’s been so hard to achieve and maintain in the past. I don’t agree with such broad statements like “people should have a choice in who governs them”. it matters more what those choices are, and you can’t just blanket statement “choice is good no matter what”. your statement about devisions in Europe from historical kingdoms is interesting because obviously there’s been a considerable effort in forming unity across Europe.

what parts of your political discussions feel like that? and why? if you don’t mind me asking.

you completely made up the link in reasoning that the “countries provide … for their citizens”. how does a country provide quality of life? you took a correlation and filled in the blank on causation, that it’s purely caused by domestic government systems. not geographical, geopolitical, historical, material realities. the “suite of features” shared by these countries is more than just the ones you wanna focus on and ignore all the rest.

if we try our absolute hardest to just “do scandinavia” we will only get one step forward three steps back. you can count on reactionary capitalist claw back of any progress, the only long term solution is to defeat the capitalist class and remove their dictatorship. not beg them to give us tiny scraps from their extravagant buffet.
