I like this thread and you all are pretty neat and some of you are also pretty smart.

But you're definitely even more hugboxy and weird than before the election and you don't have to be. Maybe you should take a couple days off every now and again and not do politics or news. It will still be there when you get back.

I love you.gif
 
Where in the ruling does the Supreme Court say the government has to 'facilitate his return'?
The statement that the government has to comply with that part of the district court’s order to facilitate his return. They will work out the process as the case has been remanded and with awareness of the executive’s control of foreign affairs.

Carlin is cancer incarnate. He is the proto redditor. Completely detached but full of zeal to shit all over everything. I would pay good money to see him and Bill Hicks ressurected and have Bill Hicks smash his faggy face in with a hammer. If Carlin was still alive he'd be sayin "just call them Xir, what's the big deal you call it a 'venti' instead of a small you jackass!" To a roar of retards clapping.
I see this all the time and I have to say a few things.
Bill Hicks was better than Carlin, first of all. And second, the landscape that brought Carlin to fame is not anywhere near what we are currently dealing with.
Carlin was the response to his time, where there was a lot of Christian groups ruining fun shit for people like the Woke is today. He may have been 'woke' for the 70's and 80's, but to be 'woke' back then was the counterculture as opposed to today where it flipped around. And it was not nearly the same kind of 'woke', shit changed.
Now, did he unleash a tide of cynical dickhead Reddit types on us for all eternity? Yeah, but that doesn't mean he wasn't funny when he did it.
 
The Soviets reindustrialized in about 5-10 years, starting with a population much of which was illiterate, innumerate and had never seen a watch (as described vividly in Darkness At Noon.) They were very constrained not only in human resources but in other profound ways.

For instance, they were ideologically stuck with extreme central planning and punishment as a major motivator; extreme profit opportunities and private capital were nonexistent/criminalized.

Foreign currency was scarce, Russian currency wasn't very liquid, so they had to raise money for industrial machinery, foreign experts etc by looting the nation- church artifacts, private gold and foreign currency, natural resources extracted through brutal inefficient slavery.

The controlling apparatus was staffed by professional revolutionaries-inherently untrustworthy conspirators. The people who were over 30 often hated the state and had extensive personal experience in civil war and guerrilla fighting.

Instead of being spry retirees in their 60s-80s, the pre-revolutionary Russian engineers, machinists and so on were either dead, crippled or fled.

And finally, everything had to be drafted/machined/processed by hand or with dumb machine tools. Even with all of that, Soviet reindustrialization happened. So the US for sure can do it.

Hicks would be just as bad if not worse than Carlin. Let's not glamourize a man who was an elitist fuck who hated Christians and poor people to the point that it was 99% of his act.

We can reindustrialize in a blink if the corporations are willing to pay people a living wage to go back into the factories. The problem is, they won't. Either they'll have the factories be overseas, or they'll get rid of minimum wage laws so that they can make people work in the factories for $1 an hour. Because making American workers work in factories for twice or five times the minimum wage would force them to take a huge hit to their profits, and if that happens, the shareholders leave, and take their money with them.

The USSR reindustrialized easily because the State told them to do so, there were no private shareholders holding the CEO's balls, because the State had the factory owner's balls in its vice grip, and it wasn't letting go. That, and they had all the capitalists liquidated along with the Russian Royal Family. If we tried to do that socialist industrialization here, all the rich idiots that Trump tried to butt-kiss, the people he gave trillion-dollar tax breaks to? They'd whine and bitch and moan, and he'd back down.
 
That sounds like cope from the writers... I can deffinetly believe the ostracized part but the mad about it? I am still 100% convinced biden was on cloud 9 when trump shit on the people who stabbed him in the back.

Great write up btw, interesting stuff.
He was pissed enough at them that he saw helping Trump more as fucking them over. He wasn't losing his legacy to some uppity nigger cocksucker from California if he had anything to say about it.
 
Good in the here and now, but long term they're really proving the point of why this shift needs to be done. Any trade partner over a long enough period of time will have disputes and conflicts, both trade and non-trade in nature. If you're permanently beholden to their cooperation for something, then you are in a bad place. Ideally, you have a domestic baseline, and foreign trade is a surplus/nice to have.
Reminds me of CivIV where I’d need my neighbor’s iron to crank out swordsman. They’d get pissed at my army expansion declare war on me cutting off my iron supply and cucking my army.
 
I guess they'd be cool with strangers in their houses then, living off their stuff? Walls are borders, too, and if no human is illegal, everyone's a resident! After all, that's how it worked in Aurora.
No. Much like how the second illegals were shipped into Martha's Vineyard they literally called the military in immediately to get them out, Diversity is something they believe in, but only when other people are reaping the costs of it.
The system has been weird since the update, I wouldn't be mad at him tbh
Yeah, the [redacted] will occasionally not clear out your text input field at the bottom of the page after posting, and if you don't catch it, it'll re-save it as a draft.

Im still looking at this with the context of the elites wanting cover for a false flag attack where a white person that's a CIA asset kills black people in order to shut down X.
I'm honestly REALLY bummed that the Rogan interview fell through, because she was making staffers pull their hair out trying to deliver her talking points naturally in sympathetic settings, and apparently the campaign had caved on giving Joe control of the discussion topics. The book claims they had coached Kamala to try and be more off the cuff, but her her aides were feeling cheated when the Trump appearance on Rogan's show dropped the morning before her rally.
I'm not sure how much I believe that, it sounds like them trying to put blame on Rogan for why she didn't show up there, but I do know that any discussion between them would have been cringe incarnate.
Harris's campaign wanting editorial privilege over the show was probably a major factor in Joe Rogan telling her to get fucked.
