I can smell this post and the disappointment.

Thanks, clear as corn soup.

I don’t blame them at all. Corn is the superior fruit.

I’m corncerningly out of the loop.

Gotta hand it to Belle Delphine. That is all.

Corncerned?

Can one have consciousness without sensory perception?

We can only hope, andthere are some promising signs.

But fuck Chuck Schumer though and every other democrat who folded on the shutdown. Purposefully giving up their only leverage to please corporate interests of course.

Nobody was blaming the Democrats for for the shutdown and they folded anyway. It’s obviously a totally deliberate attempt to undermine their own populist success in the name of preserving the economic status quo.

I know I’m speaking to the choir here. But there is little evidence at least in the journalistic world that anything is seriously fundamentally fucked about where things are leading. There’s no sense of emergency.

But milquetoast is losing. People want change. The time to start thinking about alternatives to him is now.

I think AOC will have a better chance frankly. Particularly if Memdani’s momentum continues.

There’s no doubt anymore this is authoritarian coup. Everyone needs to step up and start taking this shit more seriously. The supreme Court think they’re the only ones who get to interpret law. Fuck that.

States need to break away from the Fed on key issues, or at least resist.

Always amazes me how I miss the obvious signs haha.

Very true good sir. We must thank that rat for our lives.

AI surely?

How else could he intentionally describe himself incorrectly as poisonous and mean venomous though? The sentence structures are the same. He was meant to say “I’m not venomous!” if the intent was to lie. But the intent was of course to trigger the symantics Nazi.

We’ve both been eaten by the snake, by the way.

No comment needed if it’s that good.

The more Republican infighting the better for American democracy.

That’s why I vote Green my friend. We’re on the same side. I just dont know if the existing stable “socialist” nations you cite really meet the definition or are any closer to the outcomes I’m sure you and I agree are indicators of real success.

I’ll read what you’ve linked though, and share my thoughts. Cheers!

I was thinking about this. You’d have to be working in lemon juice.

Apparently nobody does, because I don’t see them attracting massive numbers of immigrants. But that could not be for lack of desire - I don’t really know. I do know Chinese people and their feelings vary - we have lots of Chinese migrants and multigenerational citizens. You seem to have access to a very patriotic perspective they don’t share with you.

Care to share with me a well sources explainer video or something to educate me? I have gotten most of my recent understanding from PolyMatter, and other non-Chinese sources.

I’m judging here on the basis of adherence to the most progressive interpretations of Marx and other philosophers and thinkers, and how it’s going for the people in each nation more than anything - social justice and equality, healthcare, welfare, personal freedoms, security, standard of living, etc.

Tell me, where do you live? I’m fortunate enough to be from New Zealand. I certainly wouldn’t want to trade my passport for any other country, or wish to have been born there. Maybe Luxembourg then I’d be stacked I guess, and maybe be able to do more to help the rest of the world get their shit together.
