Trudge , 1 month ago to US News in Burnett asks Biden how he is going to turn the economy around. He said he already has 🙃

GDP per capita is the only metric that matters. There's absoutely no problem with it whatsoever.

This is the best America has ever been.

Trudge , 1 month ago to US News in China lives rent free in the heads of Americans giving them anxiety

My standards are getting lower every year.

I'll settle for regular rail and decriminalizing homelessness at this point.

Trudge , 1 month ago to Socialism in True democracy is only possible when the means of production are publicly owned.

I once saw a survey done in Seattle asking people whether they would prefer to eat feces raw or deep-fried. Based on the result of that survey, I have concluded that people in Seattle like deep-fried feces and are actively choosing to eat it.

Byung Chul Han proven right once again. Achievement society of the west is a self-made hell.

Achievement-subjects cannot stop as it is their own volition driving them in a cycle of auto-exploitation.

Now think about how many "birds" you've seen that were walking or resting instead of flying. The system takes cost-effectiveness into consideration.

Sounds very cozy. I wouldn't change it just based on Feng Shui.

There goes Gaza...

Trudge , 3 months ago to World News in Israeli tanks have deliberately run over dozens of Palestinian civilians alive

Makes sense. It's communism when tanks don't run over people, so the inverse must be true as well.

Trudge , 4 months ago to Donbass, DPR and LPR in Avdiivka is finally fully liberated

Are we talking about the same mediabiasfactcheck that rates Radio Free Asia as highly factual left-center source?

Trudge , 4 months ago to Donbass, DPR and LPR in Avdiivka is finally fully liberated

I knew that they got incorporated into the regular military to receive further weaponry, funding, and personnel, but I thought they maintained their distinct "identity."

It's hard to get news in English so I didn't know that they're basically just another brigade of the AFU at this point. Mariupol really was the end of them huh.

Trudge , 4 months ago to Donbass, DPR and LPR in Avdiivka is finally fully liberated

I guess the institutional memory of going into Avdiivka to kill helpless civilians for years on end bit them in the ass when they faced real opposition. No sympathy for that paramilitary group specifically no matter what happens to them.

Trudge , 4 months ago to Donbass, DPR and LPR in Avdiivka is finally fully liberated

What happened to all the Azov fighters that were deployed there? Retreated or captured?

Trudge , 4 months ago to Thoughts on ...? in Thoughts on the Sino-Soviet split?

We'd have global communism by now if it didn't happen.

But it is not just that singular event. It is the general tension and wariness between socialist countries during the 20th century that was fatal.
