IIRC he lost to Lindsay Graham (can’t be arsed spelling his name) by something like 8 pcts. despite the entire republican party hating him, and the entire democratic party giving Harrison something like 90 million dollars to spend on a state with less than 3 million voters.

LOL he endorsed Jill Stein back in 2024

Thought this was the vegan snackfood company that got famous for union busting with a land acknowledgement, that also got featured on Chapo as a reading series.

If you think that part of his work is bad, you should read his interviews about his time in Thailand, where he supposedly did some work on behalf of the American government on how to pacify a restive native population (in Thailand, these were the peasants and ethnic groups that got displaced to build western-accomodating hotels and resorts, and in the US the population were the african americans in the inner cities). Mind you, his trip to Thailand was before the Vietnam war even started IIRC, so he literally just went there to do experiments on racial control.

Sadly I also know that this will be the case. European neoliberalism by all accounts should be long dead and buried, but somehow the EU keeps trucking along, while being slowly drained before being destroyed / harvested by the Americans.

I think the redditor above wants to use political chatbots as busyboxes, that quarantines the most annoying people on the internet into their own little self-contained communities.

That does not seem good. I can’t find anything about it on any of the news sites I normally check, hence why I reacted.

Given how Burgerbrained our rightwing has become (they literally began talking about “woke” in the last election, without even bothering to translate it), I don’t think she is going to want to spend the money on other EU countries. I think she wants the big and shiny F35s that the Americans want us to buy, for a bajillion kroner a pop

Wait what the fuck happened in Iraqi Kurdistan? I currently have a couple of friends visiting family members there, and I haven’t heard them say anything.

Sure, and I agree that millitary spending is the least useful way to do keynesianism, but at the very least, if you are choosing to obey the Nato command and divert 5% of your GDP to millitary spending / preparation, then you should probably get to building factories rather than spending the money on American missiles and launch systems that lock you into a 30 year rentier contract. Like, if you’re going to spend the money on death and destruction anyway, at least make sure it’s being build locally so that the money isn’t just flushed into the toilet.

Obivously I should be happy that my evil ass country is doing a poor job of millitarising, but the lack of seriousness still bothers me on a fundamental level.

See, there is a way to use Defense spending as a way to mitigate economic risk, but somehow I think that the dipshits in charge of the EU countries don’t care about the social fallout from massively downsizing public spending on non-millitary procurement. Like the fact that the EU doesn’t fucking make any weapons, should probably be a wakeup call, rather than a call to spend even more money on the US and their shitty overpriced fighter jets that crash when it rains.

How are you even going to make the argument that you’re “siding” with BRICS? I know that Trump is a babybrain, but this is fucking weird, even for him. Like, does siding with BRICS mean you continue trading with China? Or does it mean you sell pharma-products for the beef-exporters in Brazil? Or does it mean you buy Russian oil? This is fucking insane babble from the king himself.

This is the closest thing this continent will get to a decent climate initiative so I’ll fucking take it. Even if it means I also wont have a future

Russia decides to acknowledge reality several years later than material reality, but somehow still years ahead of the western world.

No, that was an MEP for France. Zarah Sultana is one of the only decent british members of parliament. She seemed to have pretty good takes on most foreign policy issues, and her domestic agenda isn’t neoliberal, which makes her a dangerous muslim radical to most of the british owner-class.

yeah but that’s my point. You can show the St. Noncingtons School for Boys and Men the numbers that prove that their way of doing things is obviously not working. But even when shown the data, they just double and triple down to a degree that I struggle to fathom. And I hope that you guys figure out a way to make your leaders understand it soon, since it seems my prime minister is hellbent on following in your footsteps (I believe my country is currently where you guys were in 2014, so things aren’t looking good).

Trying to figure out the total trade between the G7 doesn’t seem to work, since 1, the US is a member, which is going to massively skew the results, and also 2, a lot of things that get traded between the G7 nations are products from outside the G7.

Tick tries to find cure for bloodloss

If the democrats actually wanted to sink Zohran’s campaign, they would have Hillary Clinton come out and endorse him. Can’t think of a quicker way to kill every normal person’s engagement than by getting the Clinton Kiss of Death.

My favorite genre of those posts is the AI-voice reading a clearly fake Reddit story while Minecraft Parkour videos play in the background. Definitely reminds me that I need to stop watching youtube and start doing productive things.
