It’s anything about which people are in denial, be it the need for capitalism, the western role in Ukrain, the environmental impact of a single consumer, the validity of political objectives of the opposition, the impact of immigration, …

My ultimate opinion is that we need to step back and notice that the denial is built on purpose and that the goal can’t be to push for the victory of the own team. There needs to be understanding of the underlying problems that includes the view of the other teams to change the mechanisms that create them.

If we can’t do that then all the manipulation is already the best strategy to force humanity into progress.

Neither do Democrats or they would have used that information to win the election.

This channel has a lime piece as the logo if you squint your eyes.

London. Thanks to the artefacts in the British Museum, nobody will dare to throw bombs there.

It’s not. The story about mars allowed Musk to build the rockets to launch the StarLink satellites.

Given the preparation for war with China, can we exclude that those satellites carry payloads to take down intercontinental missiles?

Otherwise the USA could feel safe and be willing to engage in a nuclear war.

It will be a boring name.

The three circle door doesn’t have a handle, whatever that means.

I just wanted to stress that the problem is the treatment. People are often ok with treating prisoners badly.

horror stories about people being caught up wrongly in the deportation

You mean people who are caught up rightfully in deportation are treated with dignity, right? Right?

Who would support a citizen cooperative that offers a good private insurance? Under the given circumstances that could be the easiest way to get universal healthcare.

Thanks. I should have known.

To your believes: Welcome to the end of the Sovjet Union.

We are living in a consumer society because people want to be free without being free. Which interestingly allows ‘libertarians’ to exist because common workers don’t want to be quotation-mark-free libertarians and defend their freedom.

I like how the development of the word makes your point. The word lost its meaning and became kind of an insult. How can the working class not be grifted when they lose the words to analyze their situation?

The problem with tyranny.gov is that the ‘libertarians’ of today will become the officers and ministers of tyranny.gov. So instead of calling them ‘libertarians’ we should call them something else or everything will stay the same just with new names.

Then they are not libertarians but something else. This doesn’t make those people less problematic, though.

As the name implies, libertarians want to be free.

Tyranny.gov rules by law which prohibits what you are allowed to do and thus think, thus limiting freedom.

Tyranny.com has no laws, just costs, which can be restructured by a single person. Thus the person feels free.

Joke aside, this is a good question.

Smithers, is that you?

Could somebody explain it to me, please?

Yanis Varoufakis’ theory of what is happening

As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it’s all about shipping lanes.

All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.

So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
