OT: World Politics

This with you more for people who are excluded from our economy than any of the targeted policies that the Democrats have tried of the last 40 years
 
Right and then it broad-based, decriminalization regulation and quality control of illicit drugs and narcotics such that weed decriminalized these people and remove the power from the gangs. Once we’ve done that possession in trafficking charges should be pardoned, and we give a whole swap at the citizenry, a new lease on life.
 
We can do that, and also end. affirmative action.

I still get called problematic and as a western supremacist because I believe that social class is more important than race or colour and I don’t give a fuck. I will say that in till I’m blue in the face. The class war has been ongoing. The culture war keeps those of means completely comfortable and not exposed to the fact that they’re robbing us blind.
 
That’s right I’m a socialist and an environmentalist who hates the carbon tax and an affirmative action. These are crap policies that create division
 
It's pretty easy to sit on a Canadian perch and claim that social class matters more than race (also while ignoring native issues in Canada because we always set those aside when we discuss racism in Canada....)

I just don't think that argument holds up in the US at all:

Shutdowns at the airport in Moscow are starting to become commonplace as well whenever a drone attack happens in the Moscow area or even if a drone is picked off by air defence. Russia uses a spoke and hub system similar to how we operate here and every shut down in Moscow basically shuts down Russian civilian aviation for hours at a time.
 
Pretty fun that China released a map yesterday showing territory in both India and Russia as being part of China.

Some real BRICS solidarity. And perhaps a preview of things to come. Not much Vladdy can do if China starts nibbling at Russia’s borders in the east. And if he gets whacked and/or his regime collapses, they’ll be grabbing territory with both hands.

Their only shared policy goal is to counter US economic power. This is very much a scorpion & the frog story playing out in geopolitics. American leadership isn't always pretty but the list of democracies they've fucked with since Chile in the 70's has been pretty small and it tends to be greasy dictators that get the stick.

The US has installed more greasy dictators into power than removed them. Fascist military juntas are good for capitalism. Socialist governments elected by the people that nationalize industry so that their country's wealth can't be pilfered by US corporations not so much.

I pray everyday for a Russia -China war. Americans should work on a disinformation strategy to start one.
