Does anyone have a single source that’s compiled all of Biden’s evil statements and actions w/r/t Gaza?

This is allegedly the beginning of “Gideon’s Chariot”.

Makes me think of that line Walter has in Breaking Bad: “You know what leverage is, right? You don’t have it…”

I have seen one of those Stratofortesses in the air at relatively low altitude. It felt like seeing an alien spacecraft in the sky, it’s just so damn big.

Of all the books you’ve mentioned, personally I only read Meiksins Wood’s book but I will say I enjoyed reading it and got a lot out of it. I do jive with her approach that “capitalism” begins when you have a certain set of social relations. It really helps differentiate when you have simple markets and when you have capitalist production.

I think on some level Americans know that AI will only be used to replace their jobs and increase profits for capital.

I once rented an apartment where within the one bathroom, the shower and sink were behind one door, and then the “front” area had a toilet at a second sink. That way when you have guests over they don’t have to wash their hands around or even see any of your personal hygiene items. I think this is an absolutely brilliant design idea and an actual good use of a second sink if you only have one bathroom, but I have yet to see this design anywhere else.

The Democrats deserve blame in a “men make their own history but they do not make it as they please” sort of way. The bourgeois state can allow tolerate a certain range of options. And that range only narrows and neoliberalism enters its death spiral and the rate of profit falls without an obvious way out. The Democrats could try to actually become a party of the working class, but the capitalists would try to destroy them. Or if they succeeded, I genuinely believe you’d see a coup a la Chile in 1973.

That doesn’t excuse the Democrats, though. They are fully leaning into this.

Trump is talking about how he is getting China to “open up their markets” like he’s fucking Commodore Perry or something. I have no idea what that means, likely BS but who knows with him.

At a certain level of wealth, where you “live” is kind of abstract. If you own several homes and constantly spending time at each, where you live legally is more of a formality.

But for a level down from this - when you’re wealthy but not so wealthy to pull this off - there are so many non-monetary reasons for where you live. Someone who loves California weather and the taxes don’t actually make much of an impact in their enjoyment of life? Why the fuck would you move to Tennessee or Florida? Or if all your friends and family live near you now, why move somewhere and isolate yourself just to make a political point about taxes?

Yeah me too. It has problems but not nearly as many as Dances With Wolves.
