You know how the left correctly blames the center Democrats for picking bad corpo candidates, eg against Trump (Clinton, Harris) that end up losing? The American left should also do a bit of introspection and self-criticism for picking a bad candidate in Maine. The whole saga of how he ended up stepping down was very demobilizing. This magat should not have it this easy…

Any American billionnaire who wants to experience the inhospitability of outer space is perfectly capable of moving to northern Alaska. You are welcome to experiment with grueling cold, impossible supply lines, long periods of isolation and a climate that actively tries to kill you and your machinery, while enjoying the tutorial level bonuses of a breathable atmosphere, a magnetosphere, and an eminently purchasable American administration both at the Red State level and the Federal level, that will let you do whatever the fuck you want. If you can’t make that in a techno utopia, shut, and I can’t stress it enough, the fuck up.

A classic anti-democratic and anti-socialist right wing argument is that people vote for the left because the left promises them government benefits.

Mitt Romney :

“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [Obama] no matter what… who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it… My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

That means that progressives and socialists ARE the mainstream.

“Elections have consequences”.

You need to control a territory to declare it for yours, silly ;)

Red scare incoming.

Mu-ti-ny! Mu-ti-ny! Mu-ti-ny!

Chicken or pasta? Chicken.

This is a nice case study about why democracies should never ever ever tolerate the existence of zones outside the rule of regular law. Guantanamo in this idiot’s brain is a stand-in for an oubliette.

I guess that’s what “winning” an argument with breathless vitriolic invective looks like in your brain.

I don’t actually object to many of the fragments of coherent ideas in your vomit of a rant. But your psyche right now seems to require that I stand in for some kind of a Great Satan or something so I’m not going to pretend to discuss any further with you. All you want is a punching bag. Go punch a wall or something.

What’s actually funny is that all this boils down to a nationalist argument about whether Argentina gets to lay claim and ethnically cleanse the Falklands. You’re frothing at the mouth because you want to conquer 3500 people who literally did nothing to you or anybody and you’re dressing it up as “anti-imperialism”. Go froth some more.

χαζομάρες…

Argentina IS a settler colony built from the colonization, conquest, expulsion and genocide of indigenous people, in antagonism with other settler colonies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Uniedprovinces3.jpeg just like every single other country in the western hemisphere, from Canada to Chile.

hashtag not all colonialism

that said, the Falklanders are literally the closest thing to an “indigenous” culture on the Falklands, why should a settler-colonial state like Argentina have any claim on their self determination?

χεσε μας ρε παπαρα

σκατα στον ταφο του Γκαλτιερι

The Falklands are one of the few places in the world were the Europeans settled an actual empty land. The residents of the island, the Falklanders, want to remain part of the UK. Argentina’s only claim is … geographical proximity. There is no colonialism here, only jingoism.

Warner warned you.

Run for office, bud.

Funny how the “blue no matter who” and “vote for the options you have not the ones you wish you had” arguments just seem to have poofed out of existence.

I guess I’m helping by articulating my understanding?

Otherwise, yes we seem to not be disagreeing.
