Mandating that girls from age of 12 be inseminated with republican zionist sperm once per year would be more “America first” policy.

Military applications for ward of the state and “universal soldier” applications! Yay humanity.

Whataboutism is awesome for the empire. Incidents that happened 40-90 years ago can be equivocated with current empire abuses, and rulers protecting their nations from Empire’s “democracy” manipulations meant to destroy those nations can be demonized as less perfect than the utopia of western democracy illusions.

Liberalist freedom or constructive anarchy is only a possibility if US empire is not intent on destroying you.

Both Iran and Hamas have been geopolitical issues for a long time. And it’s worth remembering that all of this was kicked off by a large scale terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas.

Propaganda is deeply effective because most people’s world events attention span is like a dog that sees a squirrel. History starts at the chosen squirrel event, and of course, geopolitics is viewed as “Us the good guys” vs. “those who fail to obey us”.

Your rant was praised as balanced, but is simply the official justification for colonial apartheid turned genocide our rulers, in submission to our own colonial masters, dictate upon us.

Does free speech or democracy exist if the oligarchs/states that buy your politicians/rulers force you to support those states? What would Idi Amin do (perhaps most self enriching open corrupt ruler, or the narrative that gets pinned on a ruler who shifts away from US empire)? Or as in history, UK first decided it was illegal to oppose Idi Amin (support his rivals) to later being illegal to support Idi Amin?

“To know who rules over you, notice who you are not allowed to criticize”

IIUC, it is only Palestine support that is illegal. You may still advocate for UK/NATO war on Israel or at least elimination of support, and elimination of politicians who support Israel. Limiting speech to support for all wars your rulers prefer is the most oppressive of democratic speech.

and when I see this “AY”, what language, dialect, or slang should I be programmed in?

OP doesn’t know purchase cost. Wallet deposit on that date doesn’t mean it was purchased 1 hour before.

Some countries are caving to US on war. Some on trade. VN was threatened with 46% tariffs. The 40% transhipment rate is something easily avoided. I doubt VN will import more from US. VN making a deal can still provide best value apparel to US

It would be delusional for any US car company to invest in dealership/repair network for Vietnam. China is next door to them, and they have good trade relations with them. Better value cars, and they also make high end SUVs.

I don’t get it.

The $3.4T deficit increase projection, $340B/year is on top of the $1.9T projected deficit for 2025 prior to bill. The projected deficit for FY2035 is $2.7T. This is before golden dome, and other warmongering/Israel funding. 2025 and 2035 numbers are both about 6.1% of GDP.

GOP talking points have include the fantasy of growing at 3% (instead of 1.9%) annually to pay for the $340B/year increase, but at 6.1% deficit/GDP ratio, total debt increases as long as nominal GDP doesn’t grow above 6.1%. Cutting healthcare, and population through deportations won’t cause growth.

I think we’re past the point of the car hitting the wall even if we brake, and the damage ruining your day. We’re not past the point that braking will save lives or even make the car unrepairable.

every tipping point is just an arbitrary line that climate scientists draw to try to draw people’s attention to the problem

The +1.5C threshold is a somewhat arbitrary line designed around tipping points. The tipping points themselves are not imaginary/arbitrary. Forest fire spread increase. Methane defrosting. Polar melting path certainty. All of these increase GHGs and warming. Hurricane intensity+drought+intense rainfall events destroying property values is somewhat of an economic tipping point starting to affect some right now.

The actual problem is democratic oligarchism/zionism/neocon warmongering/US colonialism. Protecting establishment is easily supported when higher priorities than human sustainability can be manufactured. The more miserable you are made, the less you care about “higher level Maslow hierarchy needs” at political level.

“Andrew Cuomo, during the primary, attacked Mamdani as being insufficiently pro-Israel.

The most expensive primaries in US history were in 2024 where zionist supremacists/AIPAC funded DNC opponents to those insufficiently submissive to zionist first rule over America. The only successful attack campaigns were those that never mentioned Israel supremacy as an issue. Only other issues.

The Green party can win with 0 money by saying all Israel first loyalty oaths by politicians invalidate their citizenship and right to office. The DNC simply doesn’t want to win. Like Chuck Schumer admission, the DNC exists to gaslight the left into being pro Israel. Fundraising is always nice, but winning is not the most pro Israel result.

You have upvoted Israel/Ukraine bad or JD Vance looks funny post.

solar panels don’t use rare earths. They use sand. Rare earths and lithium are not radioactive. Thorium is more expensive than Uranium processing and molten salt reactors have never lasted long.

absurd. Uranium mines need huge exclusion zones. In fact the biggest ones have large enough exclusion zones that more solar energy could be harvested than the energy content of the uranium underneath.
