“I wish people who want to coexist could get along with people who’s explicit goal is to not coexist.”

I think it’s hilarious that there was apparently another attempt on Trump’s life and all people are saying about it is “you gotta see this guy’s tweets.”

I think the two go hand in hand, sadly. Make a big deal out of Trump being Hitler, insist that you are the better choice because the other choice is Hitler, rinse repeat as you asymptotically approach becoming Hitler. It’s never been easier to be the lesser evil. The Democrats may actually be onto something when they say they want a strong Republican Party if this is what they do when the Republicans are flailing.

It was really funny during the debate when he called them out about their hyperbolic rhetoric leading to someone shooting at him. Regardless if that were a factor, and granted that Trump implied not so subtly in 2016 that someone should shoot Hillary, it’s a fair point to make. Don’t tell people that someone is Hitler 2 if you’re not going to take responsibility for political violence against them. Either be okay with stochastic terrorism or don’t, but pick one.

I really want to know now. I tried searching for the term but can’t seem to find anyone explaining what it means in the context of a military action, just examples of using the term to describe operations.

nations supplying weapons to Kyiv have the right to limit their use

What a pathetic statement. “We’re going to encourage Ukraine to start WW3 and then hand the responsibility to the individual states.”

Well, and making a reasonable case for that on the merits. It’s not just a matter of “allowing” Ukraine to strike Russia, NATO would have to provide the weapons, the intelligence, and trained personnel in order to make such strikes possible. Ukraine is barely even involved at that point.

Yeah, the idea that you would have nuclear weapons and not use nuclear energy is insane. If you can ban all of it on principle then fair enough, but the idea that opposing nuclear power plants has anything to do with nuclear weapons is wishful thinking.

GOOD post!

Imagine how amazing the world would be if everyone stopped trying to compete with China and just let them build us the Star Trek future that they are very clearly succeeding in doing. It’s nice to know that for the rest of my life, China will keep on embarrassing every self-serious westerner who thinks that cargo cult neoliberalism is going to start working any day now.
