I never had money or a science degree. I just watched Cosmos as a kid, devoured documentaries, and read articles on wikipedia all day.

It’s something but it’s not enough. There needs to be an international coalition that imposes a no fly zone over Israel, and an embargo of their ports, and sends food aid to Gaza and military aid to the PLO

People who become police usually like hurting people and people who join ICE were the bottom of the barrel that even the police wouldn’t recruit

Maybe the Italians should strike again until their navy actually protects the flotilla

A Democracy filled with religious extremists.

I admit I only know the highlights. It would make sense for Hegseth to focus on appearances over substance.

Having a brain predisposed to fear is one of the hallmarks of being a Right Winger

I mean, insofar as Hegseth has internalized the culture war and can’t stop being a fox news host long enough to do his job. I think priming the Military to eventually use it against the American population was the main purpose of this gathering.

I mean, there was tons of “we’re invading American Cities and Fighting the Enemy within” bullshit too.

I’m guessing IRL Jesus would have started rage flipping tables and whipping people with his belt.

One means kings, one means no kings. We use the term Right to describe a set of political beliefs in which a societal elite rules and power & ideas flow from the top down. The further right you go, the smaller & more exclusive the elite gets, the steeper and stricter hierarchies get. The Left describes a set of political beliefs in which rule is shared or replaced with self rule, hierarchies are shallow or non-existent; power & ideas flow from the bottom up. The further left you go the less you’re willing to compromise on those points and the more you start to see economic power as equivalent to political power.

Context my dude. Hunger is a term we apply to people having insufficient food available while you’re applying it out of context to the bodily sensation of being motivated to eat.

There are in denial or ignorant people who don’t have fascists beliefs yet that are politically adjacent to the GOP who might waver, we just can’t put all our eggs in one basket.

If the state controls the means of production, then the workers don’t. Full stop, no matter how much Bolsheviks want to argue with you about it.

Some people treat Left and Right as more akin to conferences that your sports team joins than actual descriptive terms for political beliefs.

Bolshevism came damn close.

The closest to a universal on the Left is opposition to hunger/starvation for any reason.

Small town in Oklahoma…they’re probably blaming their misfortune on the people that sued.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it’s talent in the last several years. There’s almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

Baking can be alot of work for the amount of product you have to sell at the end, it’s why baked good can be so expensive when not made in a factory. Try to be realistic and choose things that aren’t especially labor intensive.
