No one can make a profit on people walking, so I dont understand how your point makes any sense.

edit: oh wait! footware and sports drink companies. OK, well, you’ve made some compelling points here. And we use small handed children to in America to make these shoes and sports drinks, right?

Newsom needs to learn to do less threatening and a lot more doing. We’re all a bit tired of the sternly worded letter approach to politics.

and wouldnt care if they did know.

I doubt many Americans could define "proscribed: without googling it. Obviate, circumscribe, auspice vs auspices, expatriate … few people in the US knows what those mean either. ‘Effect’ vs ‘affect’ is barely understood.

The takeover of our government by Israel approaches completion.

not that long ago I believed a rules based western order existed, and that inevitably we’d evolve a global world government, sprouted from the UN and ICC. Just a matter of time, I thought. What a silly dirty hippy I was.

So I’m sure there will be a fraud charge leveled against Bondi, right? Because thats what she just did.

yeah, no more zionists.

Trump, Putin, and Netenyahu have practically made it mandatory for every country to get their own nuclear weapons. Nothing else makes any sense anymore, when you have hyper aggressive fanatics with nuclear weapons and the west does nothing at all about it. It would be governmental malpractice for every world leader not to have some as a deterrent.

you’re nieve.

I’m a big enough fan of the word naive to be a grammar nazi here and say to remember its evian (like the water) spelled backward.

Are they picking just one issue and pretending thats an entire platform? Thats not how that works.

Biden just flatly didnt do the job we entrusted him to do. Any reasonable person doesnt bank on a ‘maybe’ like that. In fairness, he spent half his time napping because he’s always been too old and doddering for the job, so he didnt have a lot of time for work.

I’ll take crabs in a bucket if you’ll take humans with your heads crammed up republican rears. Deal?

yes, its the navel gazing voters who are to blame here:

Maybe if it didn’t stink like a dead nazi, people would buy it.

I dunno, I kind of like the smell of dead nazis.

Ill read it

ah yes, the covetted Russian passport. Finally he will be able to explore his passion for cabbage, potatoes and onions. Lucky bastard.

“You should read up on my point of view” is not the compelling elevator pitch I was hoping for.

lefties take that word “liberal” as an insult. Was that your intent? If I was a liberal I wouldnt be advocating burning the DNC down, but maybe you dont use the same phrasing as I do. I used to call myself a liberal 20 years ago when it didnt mean DNC centrist. Now liberal = centrist and its usually used as an insult.

Also, Anarchy is defined as an absence of government, is that truly your solution for the questions of government? Being blunt-- I dont see how you’ll get much done with anarchy besides having fun for yourself, and itll inevitably devolve to might-makes-right, which has inherently bad outcomes that are darn close to authoritarianism.

Are you young? I remember being in my 20s and talking about anarchy, that was fun. But I also held a lot of petitions, cleaned a lot of piss off of… everything from shelters, worked with refugees, beat sick kids at Candy Land as a playroom coordinator in a hospital cancer ward, painted and constructed houses, held classes for kids around how to eat healthy, called for donations, knocked on doors for candidates, volunteered in a list of organizational celebrations and functions, and I’m still at it because I dont know what else I can do. My wife does nothing but community work that occasionally brings in grant funding.

all of that would be a lot less possible under anarchy. So I dont see the end goal of what you are doing and how you are choosing to do it. If you think I am wrong on that I’d be curious to know why. Yes, it increasingly feels futile, hence my asking this question.

Anarchy seems like a … dilettante’s solution to a set of real and pressing issues that probably cruelly add pain to a lot of good people who didn’t end up with as much luck in life as you and I enjoy. I’m not about to starve and I dont worry about money much.

my bad. Agreed
