Late 30s, so optimism was part of my introduction to the internet

Aren’t most computer scientists more like technicians or engineers than actual scientists?

Fun fact: senior and senator share etymology

Take it up with Iran state media

The thing I never get with this shit is the KMT in Taiwan is in favor of the one China policy. Shouldn’t they pick a different symbol for favoring Taiwan independence?

Credit goes to JDPON Don for this one

I’m sure Iran also has a bottleneck, but on ballistic missiles rather than interceptors. So the question is which can resupply faster whether thru domestic manufacturing or imports

Pakistan and Russia have never (to my knowledge) offered to give Iran nukes or extended their nuclear protection to Iran.

Do you have a link to them saying that they would?

Very few people are aware of PSL’s presidential campaigns and they got less than 1% of the vote. I don’t begrudge them running; I voted for PSL in 2024 and 2020.

However, running a competitive council race in Philly or DC might get more national coverage and serve as a bigger propaganda platform than a presidential run.

What if that presidential run doubles the size of your revolutionary party?

If PSL’s 2024 presidential run did this, I’d be impressed and have to reconsider what I wrote above. But to my knowledge, PSL doesn’t publish its membership numbers and hasn’t claimed to have doubled in size due to their 2024 presidential campaign.

Running for council in big to medium sized cities seems like a good strategy to me. It’s not hyper local like some town of 20k people, but it’s not a quixotic presidential run.

NYC DSA, for all its faults, is propagandizing with the Zorhan mayoral run.

We had one of those Bernie rallies near us a while ago and did similar numbers.

Less luck with the No Kings protest, but did okay

I went to one and propagandized. It wasn’t the most receptive audience, but made some connections.

French and the Soviets had the right idea on how to deal with kings.

what if we just made 'em get jobs?

Bourgeois won’t even complete the bourgeois revolution

No

Yup, generally speaking, only countries nukes are truly sovereign

They can’t really do proportional response without risking Israel nuking them.

This reality underlies all of Iran’s actions regarding Israel.

I have not noticed this decrease.
