Wikipedia already has a decades operating cost of savings.

What the fuck are you talking about?

It seems like you just made a person up in your head to get mad at.

When have I been silent?

I have been screaming this shit would happen since they ratfucked Bernie in 2016

If you’re campaigning on killing a child every day, you absolutely suck at your job and need to be replaced. It is predictable that many people aren’t going to vote for you.

No logic or vote-shaming or whatever is going to make killing a child every day a popular policy. You can change policy, you can’t convince voters that actually killing a child every day is OK because the other party wants to kill 10 children every day.

And doing fuckall to improve your constituents material conditions for 4 years while also facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated kids, you know the ones who phone bank and get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, etc is exactly how you make sure people won’t vote for you.

Nothing I did encouraged the dems to do these things. Instead I encouraged the democrats to do the things they needed to do to win, while every lib demanding we vote blue no matter who 2 years away from the election helped them maintain the delusion the dems could win while telling their base to eat shit.

It would have been so easy too, all the dems had to do was not include ICE or Israel funding in the federal budget, or just refuse to dispense the funds, or order the head of ICE Biden appointed to fire everyone and spend the funds on something worthwhile, and suddenly the republicans symbolize returning this great evil the democrats just ended. But they had no interest in stopping any of that shit, and now here we are.

I absolutely do care, hence why I point out what needed to be done to change the outcome.

Would you point to anything I have said that suggests I’m fine with what’s happening under Trump?

No, pointing out that the dems chose to enable this is not being fine with what’s happening under Trump. Funding the gestapo being bad when the dems did it does not make it good when Trump does it.

We aren’t the ones who could have simple not funded ICE.

Either that or an it*lian.

The dems used every tool at their disposal to make sure Bernie lost the primary in 2016 and 2020, and canceled the primary in 2024.

Yes, the model common to the Nordic, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.

Not criminalizing solicitation or brothels increases the number of prostitutes who end up working under coercive conditions.

Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.

Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting “china bad authoritarianism” isnt defending or excusing. You’re just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.

I cant speak about all of China, but of the 6 cities Ive been to, each had far more accessible child-care-related facilities than the US, from schools within walking distance of tower blocks to more parks and infrastructure/personnel to help kids get there without crossing busy roads, to massive libraries with play places, movie theaters, family restaurants, to tiny amusement parks.

No, and there weren’t in Ukraine, but the US has spent half a century and billions of dollars to ensure every last person on that island is ready to be sacrificed when the time comes.

Under Britain, Hong Kong was a literal bourgeois democracy. Like not as in “the capitalists are really in control”, but “only 18 of the 59 seats weren’t appointed by major companies, representatives of the crown, or the governor”. Hong Kong has only known anything remotely close to democracy under China.

Never come to South East Asia lmao. China, SK, Japan have been taking measures, like its banned in most hotels and restaurants now, but theres so many restaurants in Japan that are grandfathered in and literally everyone smoking, hotels in China that are technically apartments or something to skirt the law, and people smoking in the streets even when its banned.

So they donate it to “charities” that spend that money privatizing education or whatever cause helps keep them and their kids in a privileged position.

Also see Libya’s nuclear program.

Humans have rights, not states, and Israel’s existence as an apartheid state is mutually exclusive with the rights of the humans living there.
