  • I think that's a very thoughtful way to look at it.

  • You're right that Healthcare is real problem.

    In the context of "taking away rights and autonomy": Cars are 100x more useful than guns, both during insurgency and peacetime. We still have locks, licensing, inspections, laws against unsafe use, and registration for cars, but not for guns. Wouldn't it be more liberal to have a right to drive?

    Compare your ideal system to systems like Sweden and Switzerland, where citizens own many guns, and are well trained, but gun crime and gun negligence is extremely rare.

  • Yeah, guns don't do a thing while you're waiting for the front line of fascism to roll over you and your country.

    They are convenient once you're well and truly in enemy territory, though.

  • Is there a version without the Leninist symbol that I could send to my relatives?

  • Term limits make sense for the highest positions that have little oversight, but implementing term limits for minor positions encourages political cronyism over technocratic experience

  • Is Peter Thiel actually that much of an AnCap though? the modern conservative movement doesn't actually care that much about economic liberalism.

  • The funny thing is that the DSA explicitly protects citizens' free speech on internet platforms. You know, the whole thing that was conservatives' #1 issue when it came to digital policy?

  • If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding.

    A divided, unorganized Left cannot possibly hope to win against the fascist party and large militarized institutions corrupted by fascism, the Left needs to organize first.

  • Unfortunately the "heavenly mandate" is just made up by power-hungry narcissists who are searching for an excuse for their corruption and incompetence. Democracy always leads to better long-term policy outcomes than dictatorships.

  • Isn't the definition of an autocracy, a system where laws are used for leaders to control the people instead of people using laws to control the leaders?

  • Just watch out for Kristi Noem

  • Unfortunately, Trump and his goons have already appealed to SCOTUS.

  • Lego is manufactured in Denmark, with a super advanced fully-automated factory. They could build new factories in the US, but then it would be far away from their engineers and based in a country with a failing economy.

    Heres a presentation from the Lego engineers that automate the computer systems:

  • The worm demands kids with more ATP!

  • Yeah I mean I guess every war technically ends with a treaty or status quo ceasefire, but you're skipping a lot of steps where all of the most egregious nazis were killed or captured first.

    You don't have to go as far as the Romans did to Carthage to demand an unconditional surrender through force.

  • Ask any engineer, ask any country in the world. Saying that satellite internet or mobile broadband is a reasonable replacement for fiber in any city, and you'll be laughed at.

  • yeah but we're talking about the Dutch here
