You can have private ownership of the means of production with basically any distribution of wealth that you want.

Also it didn't really work, Belt and Road lost a shitload of money without getting them the influence they wanted.

The official position of the DSA was that USAID was an evil imperialist entity that should be shuttered immediately.

Just keep running jet engines on carbon fuels and do carbon capture for them. Aviation is like 3% of CO2 produced it’s like nothing

Joe Biden having dementia and Havana Syndrome being mass hysteria were two plausible theories that have completely fallen apart. And might have intersected as phenomena.

@beijingpalmer.bsky.social are you ready to revise your opinion on Havana syndrome

Trump's communication strategy for the past decade has been to give multiple conflicting answers to every question knowing the media will always choose to believe the one they like the most.

I really hope that people have enough humanity to realize that, if Trump gives this order, they have a higher duty to do something else instead.

There's a very real chance the fuel shit takes down Trump but in 100% of scenarios in which that happens Cuba falls months earlier.

If gas is at $10/gallon for months they won’t switch votes but they will stay home (or do Jan 6 for car juice)

Harris and Cheney are the same sized dog. They’re both VPs. What the fuck is this tweet even about?

Why was voting for Harris bad? Compared to what?

Do I get to be mad because I get to go to my highly paid office job instead of being the favorite harem member of a gender-ambiguous benevolent robot overlord?

I’m a popularist who follows the evidence. Democrats must nominate Jerome Powell.

And this is downstream of a persistent belief in a religious-style karmic universe even among the non-religious, but that's a matter for another thread.

It’s literally just twitter. You’re allowed to say the R-slur on twitter now. That’s not.

It’s also pretty dumb to expand all these interceptors when Xi is looking at Taiwan but doing an oil blockade of china is way more viable without Iran existing so maybe it’s a wash

Israel will use tactical nukes before they let Tehran get the bomb.

It's possible Iran gets into the fucko zone of "can meaningfully impact oil shipments, cannot do so to any kind of extent that it's protecting its territory or interests in any real way" for a few months, but IDK if it can be there long enough to get us to mid-terms.

Do you think depicting a trans woman with a penis is automatically self-deprecating to trans women???

Also Watto is a jewish stereotype. There's nothing "israeli" about him. He doesn't talk about his cousins settling land in a Tusken Raider village or whatever.

To be clear if this was phrased as "I remember seeing Watto as a kid" then it's like an entirely different joke.

Using "israeli" instead of "jew" is also weird—like if this is a self-deprecating joke, why do the dogwhistle thing?
