4·1 month agoAmerica’s 1% doesn’t like how Europe’s bottom 99% seem to average better than America’s bottom 99%—it’s getting many Americans in America’s bottom 99% to think that their country should be more like a European country.
I strongly oppose this and think it’s a bad idea because then you’ll be like Ukraine and your neighbors like Russia.
Maybe Ukraine was foolish enough to give up its nukes. Also California and other Pacific states might want to leave.
Instead we must win big in all 50 states.
I don’t see the Democrats winning big—though we will know in 10¼ months.
Otherwise you’ll screw over tens if not hundreds of millions of people who will be forced to live in a a far-right extremist country.
It’s apparently what many Americans want.
It’s becoming an American tradition: bring in a shitty Republican about every 20 years. Today it’s Trump. Before it was Dubya. Before him was Reagan, and before him was Nixon.
Another reason why this is a bad idea is because blue states send a lot of good Democrats to congress. Taking that away means certain Republican domination in congress.

While 2 of the 6 governors are GOP, the Vermont one said he voted for Biden and harris in 2020 and 2024.
Maybe the USA should be dissolved.

What if some states secede?
"My friends and fellow Californians, this is not a secession from the United states of America because the United states of America no longer exists.
…
Because while Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes, our country has suffered a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evincing a Design to reduce us under absolute Despotism, and thus it is our Right, it is our Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future Security."
What part of the device will do the killing?
Would installing such devices make the news?
What if an enemy did a mass triggering of switches?
or a decent infrastructure and income elsewhere in the US.
Comparing a million dollars to a billion dollars is like comparing one dollar to a thousand dollars.
That’s kind of like saying that comparing a billion dollars to a triillion dollars is like comparing one dollar to a thousand dollars.
Neither really has to worry about keeping their homes.
He wasn’t really a revolutionary.
The people should leave while they can.
Some of those fired generals might be taking their knowledge and experience with them, FWIW.
gimme link to news item.
3·4 months agoIIRC, they expect people to first try to find the answers themselves—perhaps they could check out a few WP articles—no “Who’s the Secretary of the Department of Interior” or similar questions;
though my big (perhaps only) problem is that a question only stands for a while—maybe a few days or week or so—before it’s archived. In some of the forums (non-WP) of about 20 years ago, one could answer questions asked months, maybe years, earlier that are still relevant.
Still, I’ve gotten a few good answers to the few questions I posted on it.
Hmmm,
Let’s see:
Wikipedia is an imperialist propaganda outlet and disinformation website presenting itself as an encyclopedia launched in 2001 by bourgeois libertarians Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Wikipedia is maintained by a predominantly white male population, of which about 1% are responsible for 80% of edits. It has also been linked to corporate and governmental manipulation and imperialist agendas, including the U.S. State Department, World Bank,[1] FBI, CIA, and New York Police Department.[2][3]
Wow. 😁🙂
and while I’m at it:
Wikipedia, is an online wiki-based encyclopedia hosted and owned by the non-profit organization Wikimedia Foundation and financially supported by grants from left-leaning foundations plus an aggressive annual online fundraising drive.[1] Big Pharma pushes its agenda and profits by paying anonymous editors to smear its opponents there, while others are moronic internet trolls who include teenagers and the unemployed.[2] As such, it projects a liberal—and, in some cases, even socialist, Communist, and Nazi-sympathizing—worldview, which is totally at odds with conservative reality and rationality.[3]
pw:Communist Party of Peru – Shining Path
The party organized its own militia, the People’s Guerrilla Army and claimed to have begun a protracted people’s war against the bourgeois government of Peru since 1980, with the intention of establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat.[1] Throughout its period of highest activity, the party frequently engaged in terrorist tactics, and has committed brutal and violent attacks on peasants, including children.[2] The class composition of the party consisted in mostly petty-bourgeois intellectuals, and the growth of the party was closely linked with student movements in universities.[3]
My problem isn’t the lack of alternatives, my problem is the anticommunist and pro-western bias in Wikipedia, the most used encyclopedia, in geopolitically charged topics.
and I suppose the supplements are a way, however their effectiveness/ineffectiveness.

Wales defended his comments in response to backlash from supporters of Gamergate, saying that “it isn’t about what I believe. Gg is famous for harassment. Stop and think about why.”[125]
…
Wales labeled himself a libertarian, qualifying his remark by referring to the Libertarian Party as “lunatics”, and citing “freedom, liberty, basically individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a manner that is not initiating force against them” as his guiding principles.[10] In a 2014 tweet, he expressed support for open borders.[104]
…
Wales has lived in London since 2012,[146] and became a British citizen in 2019.[147]
One would think that leftists, socialists, communists, tankies, and/or others would come up with supplementary wikis such as Conservapedia or RationalWiki that are good.
