I love my local rice bowl food truck, but I know damn sure there’s less than $5 of food in their $15 servings and am about to do the same as you.

This one looks more like an eclair to me

Just take care not to mistake rugged individualism for anarchism!

The kompromat is irrelevant, Israel is an arm of US hegemony and continues to do exactly what the US wants, the only reason they’re considered a separate nation is culpability. They are not out of our control, they are literally us doing the same thing our country has done since inception: Genocide. If a US president wanted to unilaterally cut ties with Israel I’m sure the CIA would have much better blackmail prepared against them than Mossad could dream of.

Yet ironically they seem to still be more organized than our intact leadership. If a foreign nation simultaneously assassinated the 40 most important leaders in the US we would be immediately plunged into multiple civil wars and would be pretty much done forever. Iran has existed in one form or another for thousands of years and will most likely do so for thousands more. This probably isn’t even the worst military fate it’s had to endure.

So much projection that I feel like I could run 35mm film through the man to watch a movie.

There’s probably no conspiracy theory in play, but I do think it’s funny that the first WHCD he attends as president because he hates the event and doesn’t understand it ends as soon as it starts because of a gunman. Creating a gunman distraction to avoid getting roasted by the press is not beyond Trump but also who out there doesn’t want to see him dead at this point? It’s just that I’m not sure which answer Occam’s Razor falls at this point because false flag and honest attempt seem about equal likelihood!

It does not. The US is just doing very poor cosplay of a long-dead empire.

If AI can only be done in such secrecy that it’s impossible to disprove then I’d call that a win.

You have a post history.

You had nothing but praise for Zohran in the days after he made nice with Trump back in February.

He look, a tenuous reason to cancel one of the left’s most effective and popular leaders, get his ass!

I love encountering my boy Bookchin in the wild :)

For the unfamiliar, he was a libertarian communist organizer, philosopher, and author who repeatedly found himself disillusioned with and disappointed by ideologies that weren’t ready for his consistent and critical ethics. One of his more minor yet possibly most controversial opinions later in life was a rejection of what he felt was a “dogmatic” adherence to consensus-based (100% complete agreement) decision making within all anarchist contexts. He argued this is often a straightjacket on material progress, is highly susceptible to the corruption of charismatic individuals, and can function as blinders that undermine or erode groups into disbanding. He spent a lot of time studying self-governing polities through history and working in them himself, and advocated for a “right tool for the job” approach to consensus-finding in communal meetings. This included democratic-style voting, especially when the decision being made is a procedural function or opinion poll rather than a final outcome. He thought a lot about consensus-finding mechanisms and when each method can be most effectively utilized to not only synthesize the desires of all participants, but do it in a practical and joyful way. Still, this experience and advocacy combined with his previous warnings against ecofascism within anarchism, led a cohort of outspoken anarchists to basically self-report as the exact dogmatic, charismatic, ecofascist types he had described as they began an extended smear campaign against him in magazines and essays. Their primary argument: That because Bookchin advocated for democracy at all, in any context, that he could not possibly be an anarchist. That by calling himself an anarchist he was essentially stealing valor from anarchy. He fought a civil war with these people in essay and debate for several years before being overwhelmed by disgust at how much of his energy they’d wasted. Eventually he said fine, fuck you, I’m not an anarchist. You can go ruin the idea of anarchism, I’m now a communalist. Or maybe a municipalist. Or fuck it, maybe a democratic confederalist (He corresponded at length with the imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, who inspired the Kurds to follow a governance model based in Bookchin’s ideas).

No I’m pretty pleasant most of the time, I joke and smile a lot. We’ve got nothing to argue about, I’m just offering an extra explanation about why your comment wasn’t well received.

To tack on to Velma’s answer below about why you were insta-downvoted, your question is the sort that can be answered much quicker and more comprehensively by just doing a google search instead of asking a small crowd of strangers in a comment thread to essentially be your research committee, a fact considered so readily intuitive that to opt for the latter anyway is to almost certainly appear as disingenuous to said crowd. If they can all find this info so easily, certainly you can too.

Yeah I definitely wrote the above off the cuff, seems silly now and I agree with you completely.

IQ is bullshit.

And just like the first image, many of the words in second image are rarely if ever used by the generation being stereotyped and are more often used by older generations to do the stereotyping, inventing a largely imagined culture for the generation they’re completely out of touch with.
