Additionally, Chinese coal power is what provides and enables all of the cheap goods Americans can’t get enough of.

But the libs told me that fascism can only arrive if Trump wins?

Shit is worrying. I’m extremely ignorant to the science of infectious diseases, but at least from my layman’s point of view, it is extremely concerning how this virus went from exploding across the entire globe in wild animal populations, to now infecting cattle, to then infecting goats in such a short time span… It seems like it is progressively getting worse, and any one of these millions of new infections per day could be the one that mutates just right to be able to hop between humans.

I’m dubious of all the articles stressing the “risk is extremely low, so stay calm” sentiment. That sentiment seems less about giving good advice to make people feel comfortable, and more like a means to minimize panic - which there surely will be if this bug starts hopping between people, and that 50% lethality rate holds steady.

A bird flu pandemic would be less about social distancing, and more about huddling with a shotgun in your basement.

UBI is pointless so long as there are landlords who can jack up rent. It is essentially a landlord subsidy, and it does nothing to address actual contradictions within capitalism.

I wonder who libs will elevate next as their savior senator in coming years, only to be baffled yet again at being betrayed by a member of the US government.

I like to believe all the miners noticed their voices getting super high and started getting giddy.

It’s easy to understand the leftist claim that liberals always ultimately bend to fascism when you see comments like this that explain the US’s turn to fascism is because of leftists(?).

You comprise one of the two sides who blindly vote according to the principle of “he’s better than the other guy”. I suspect you’d be fine with more genocides in the decades to come only insofar as they’re committed by democrats. Meanwhile, actual leftists will continue to imagine better systems, build mutual aid networks, and arm vulnerable comrades. American electotalism isn’t going to stop the backslide into fascism or the ecocidal intent of the US ruling class.

Thats a good one OP. Are you now the guy bestowing golden deagles to folks in MW2 lobbies? I always thought those people were the coolest. What are you doing with it?

Yes, definitely all Kim’s fault. Never mind the 20% of its population that got slaughtered in the Korean War.

I’ve known plenty of “dumb” people who weren’t genocidal. It’s less an indication of intelligence and more an indication of an evil soul.

I feel like war can be explained better than just the result of bad people doing bad things, and more so about contradictions. If, after all is said and done in this genocide, we are only able to deduce that the cause was bad people doing bad things, we aren’t doing our due diligence. We’d be better off trying to understand how the contradictions between Israel and Palestine such as religion, material conditions, age, ethnicity, geopolitical stances… made genocide the only solution for Israel. And more importantly, how to avoid it. Theres too much history here for me to wave my hand and blame some enigmatic force of “evil”.

I disagree. Conservatives are not the cause of climate change; capitalism is.

Both liberals and conservatives are bought and paid for by special interests.

Hoping for our liberal demagogues to solve these issues by sticking to “civil”, “non-violent”, or “state-approved” methods will do nothing but refine the capitalist system as it currently operates.

The only way forward is to call out climate change for what it is: violence imposed upon working-class people. The time for civility has passed - it only plays into the hands of the ruling class as they spend decade after decade filling the atmosphere with pollution. The liberals and democrats aren’t going to save us. Only we can.

End small-dick hate.
