Lets not forget that stalin was allied with Hitler early on, and they only came to be at odds because Hitler stupidly invaded Russia. The "communists" are not some sort of default good guys back then, or now. They are as morally bankrupt and inhumane as the capitalists, just poorer.

Never heard of them, but I see that they are calling out the Israelis in the same way as they did the nazis. I'm not into religion, but good on them.

Im not sure many see the US as the good guy anymore. I think maybe they see the US as the shallow, bullying, good looking popular kid with a lot of money, who the other kids who just want to keep their heads down follow by default.

So much of politics resmbles the 3rd grade school yard.

WW2, vietnam, Israels genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Ukraine, desert storm, the iran-iraq war, pakistan vs India, china vs india... so many wars.. In a sense they are all the same war. Its humanity against the worst impulses of itself that always threaten to define all of us. The western rules based order was supposed to the antidote for that cycle or left-right swing and resource coveting, and now the technocrats, fascists, and centrists have tossed that on the floor and pissed on it in the name of their own cleverness. They never understood why they were in politics to begin with, beyond manipulating tactical events for some selfish douchebaggy structural advantage. Thats what Kissinger got wrong, and Biden too. Empty ends-justifies-the-means reasoning in leadership leads directly to fascism. Thats part of what the man in the high castle was supposed to illustrate.

I see lots of chickens, never any eggs.

Being called an antisemite doesnt have the sting it used to. Now it just means anyone the genocidal state of Israel and their supporters disagree with in any way. Seems like weaponized language quickly loses meaning.

I've been looking for any possible way that an average Joe can make a difference and havent been able to come up with any plan. So now I have one. Will go out after work and see about buying a train.

I've got the bookshelf version of that console cabinet. Sauder brand, right. I recognize the bevel and construction. Mine also bows on every shelf and on top. Frickin MDF wood...I feel your pain. Sweet table though-- could probably be stripped and varnished dark into something fancy. Check out those curved table legs and carved feet.

Ah. You still dont understand how the US works. Send a small bribe directly to the Trump family and you can do whatever you like. I suggest using Eric Trump. If Dems are in charge send a bribe to AIPAC and they will give the dems their allowance. Either way its probably not even expensive.

In hawaii we cant get eggs at all for the past week or two-- or even those milk carton pints of liquid eggs. I was told at the foodland today to come at 5am tomorrow when the doors open and theres always just a few boxes. So.. I guess I get up at 430 tomorrow. Then elbow the old ladies -- or whatever I need to do to get to the eggs first.

They are mean and have canes but they can't take a punch and I can run to the egg aisle first.
