Oh yeah good point, being airborne is a big factor for sure. And yeah, if covid is anything to go buy, we’re just gonna let Ebola rip.

My understanding is that it’s just too good at killing people. The virus needs to have a long incubation period where the person is infectious, but doesn’t show symptoms to really get going.

Nothing wholesome I would wager.

Completely agree, and the fact that this is the narrative that’s being peddled means that most people have no idea what’s really coming.

can’t blame you

It’s really frustrating to watch how people keep talking about how you just have to vote harder, when we can see a concrete example of how workers actually take power in Bolivia.

Yup, and that’s probably going to happen in the coming months, after that there’s no way to stabilize the prices.

O7

Exactly, it’s a self reinforcing process with more countries fleeing the currency as confidence collapses. And having a global reserve underpins the US fiscal policy, if the demand for the dollar drops dramatically then it’s almost certainly will lead to a domestic economic crash.

I think some are used to suppress price domestically as well.

do go on

lmao plausible

same one

If the US gets pushed out of West Asia, I think we’ll see peace and stability in the region emerge very quickly.

If scientists didn’t come to burgerland from the rest of the world then you’d all still be banging rocks together.

Nah, China closed the gap long before people started fleeing the turd reich. The whole reason people go back to China now is the fact that it’s now ahead scientifically and technologically.

Somehow I doubt they’re eager to experience a repeat of Manchuria in 1945.

Always important to remind people that none of these problems existed until the US attacked Iran completely unprovoked.

Are there cases of fascists treating others well that you’re aware of?

Sure, but I’d argue good journalism doesn’t have much to do with having a bias. It’s perfectly possible for somebody to write good investigative journalism while having a particular bias. So, it’s not so much about the bias itself, but rather their ability to present the facts, to explain the relationships between the events, and to paint a broader context for the story.

What I think your actual concern might be is regarding deceptive reporting where people try to paint things as something other than what they really are.
