Where do you see frequent trash cans and people regularly throwing trash out in the street?
Typically trash in the street means you don’t have enough trash cans, or a bunch of youth or homeless people whom society is failing.
It just speaks to how dogshit the Dem strategy of chasing the <10% of republicans who claimed they didn’t like Trump was.

Except for the bourgeoisie, most fascists are tricked or indoctrinated into supporting fascism though. Grandma doesn’t support fascism because she will benefit, but because she’s been told the most marginalized people in society are exploiting her and the fascists promise to stop that.
23·17 days agoYes, there’s a monochrome display in the middle. It’s kinda like a TI-86 calculator aimed at children.
It’s kinda crazy that 3 nuclear armed countries have periodic armed skirmishes.
If I’m right it was the population who fraught back their oppressive regime but I can’t remember exactly when or where
Nobody knows who the guy was, who the guys who brought him away were, or what he was yelling at the soldiers about.
It makes it pretty clear how insanely unfeasible a ground invasion of Iran would be even with the most optimistic assumptions.
1.3 million just for the occupation of an 88 million pop country, and that number just comes from other occupations, without taking into consideration the terrain or people or last 50 years of preparation for asymmetrical warfare.
If anyone wants, here’s an extremely optimistic 2009 Brookings Institute white paper on how various hostile actions against Iran would play out based off numbers and history.
Chapter 3 analyses a “boots on the ground” invasion (the occupation would require a draft), Chapters 4-6 analyze American and Israeli airstrikes. Neither of them expect Iran to employ masses of drones or close the strait, and they consider ballistic missiles against US assets unlikely.
While they have an extreme western bias, there’s no way you can twist the numbers to look good.
11·1 month agoThe westerners ARE wrong though, like the story I and I’m sure many others, including OP learned is directly contradicted by the evidence.
The British government’s public releases about China are not credible, even less so when they conflict with evidence.

A handful of protesters killing cops and soldiers does not justify indiscriminate murder, particularly when you consider it the government’s responsibility to make sure protesters never get to the point that they feel the need to employ violence to achieve their aims. I didn’t think I needed to spell that out.
There’s a huge difference between “the famine never happened” and “The widespread crop failures caused famines in some regions due to ineffective policies, bad estimates grain production, and local conflict”.
The former is just as wildly ahistorical as the “Stalin did holodomer because he was evil” that’s taught in schools.
While that might work for someone whose only interest in the event is demonizing (or eulogizing) the USSR, if you actually want to know how and why things happened, a deeper understanding is necessary.
My take doesn’t begin and end with “china bad”.
As with any historical event, the context and events proceeding and following it are vital to be able to actually understand it.
No AES state is or was a utopia, and we can’t learn from their mistakes if we don’t understand how and why they made them, and how they responded to them.

I hope you didn’t read “cops responding with indiscriminate murder” to imply anything else.
That’s a damn lie. Oysters being hollow give them a perfect crunch, crackers you crush just instantly turn to cardboard
