Germany is supporting Israel and it's ongoing genocide. You're not in much of a position to shake your finger.

Germany is not doing much better in the anti-Semitism department considering that Palestinians are semites and Germany has made it illegal to criticize Israel.

I have to think some of that resistance would be in American cities too.

There are a lot of Canadians in the states and there are precious few people who are willing to tolerate an invasion of Canada.

I think this is all just part of his distraction and the fire hose of lies. It just sucks up oxygen from the room helps to distract and confuse people from the many many many many many many crazy things The fascists are doing right now.

He had to know this was going to happen.

I'm just amazed at how incredibly ballsy it is for him to go down there knowing that doing so is basically kicking a hornet's nest of entitled fascists that have already defined themselves by ignoring orders from the court.

So much of Sun Tzu is common sense.

Don't fight with the sun in your eyes! Make sure your army has supplies! Be sneaky! Etc

Needs more red

She's a woman and 'the help'. I doubt they care what happens to her.

A friend of mine said she never received any proof of gender but was assigned a "magnificent cock" and decided what she did with it was her own fucking business.

In some ways the series is actually better than the books. I loved the books, but let's be honest the characters are not very well written and the plot doesn't flow very well.

I think the comparison with Asimov is apt in that both writers make sci-fi masterpieces, but are ass at writing people.

The TV series attempts to make the plot coherent and give the characters human personalities and plausible backstories. It does this while telling the whole story in a sort of linear fashion. If you like the book, give the (American) series a try. It's fucking great.

The Chinese version drags on too long and censors out too much of the plot to make a coherent show IMO. FFS how do you censor the Chinese cultural revolution? Like what is left of the message without that?

A book written by a woman? That sounds like DEI.

Supply lines are global.

They might just have to move production out of the US too.

Spaceships aren't cheap.

that shit isn't as easy as they make it sound.

Yeah it is. You must be remembering it wrong.

As soon as I heard that line in the video, I thought to myself, "oh no Karl, that might have been a bridge too far."

It's unfortunate but Karl really thought to himself, "I'm going to say the most inflammatory shit about the most litigious person on the internet, and because Billy is such a huge loser I can't fail!"

Doesn't look like anything to me.

He has dismantled the government, clearly you can see why that would be a bad thing.

They're destroying America.

He's a non-American who has fired hundreds of thousands of Americans from essential important jobs that are necessary to keep our country functional. I hope he falls foot first into a wood chipper, and has to spend the rest of his fortune keeping himself alive.

And it gets worse as they get older.

I have friends and relatives that used to be people. They used to have thoughts and feelings. They had convictions and reasons for those convictions.

Now, I have conversations with some of these people I've known for 20 and 30 years and they seem exasperated at the idea of even trying to think about something.

It's not just complex topics, either. You can ask him what they saw on a recent trip, what they are reading, or how they feel about some show and they look at you like the hospital intake lady from Idiocracy.

Yes. In many ways, China is exactly what Republicans wet dream about. A single party runs unopposed controlling all elements of government. Criticizing them is illegal. All businesses are protected by the government from uppity customers. Employees are expected to work 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 6 days a week for few benefits with almost no workers rights..

It's the Republican dream.

In America, our system works like this:

The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.

You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn't be able to stop them.

You can't afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can't even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.

This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.

They were both extremely bad candidates who should not have been in a position to run. If the party had been allowed to speak they would not have been allowed to run.

They weren't really candidates that failed on their own merits, they were set up to fail by being put into a position they should never have been in.

Neither Hillary nor Kamala could have won a primary that wasn't rigged in their favor. Since they didn't get to their position as candidate based on their own merits, it's reasonable to describe their failure in similar terms.

That said, there is such a thing as more than 100% blame, and this is a situation where A lot of people have a lot of blame. Those two women are 100% responsible for the stupid decisions they made. No one can take that failure away from them, but because of the nature of the mistake, there were a lot more people who should also be blamed and similarly excommunicated from politics.

There are elements of sexism here, but that's just endemic to politics. They didn't fail because of sexism, they got to where they were because of it and were set up to fail by it, but there are a lot of problems here beyond and before sexism.
