Basically the plot of How to Blow Up a Pipeline.

WTF are you smoking? The ruling class is deliberately splitting us against the ruling class?

The “manifesto” isn’t a manifesto at all. Its basically just a written confession. And reads like a forced one at that. To me, the theory that they used illegal means to catch him and are just planting evidence so they have a case makes way more sense. They probably lost him and had to tap into some NSA data to ID him. He probably wasn’t a fucking moron and ditched the gun with the bag central park.

The reason for Boeing’s recent failures are actually well known: They purchased McDonnel Douglass and became defense contractors.

When they did that all of the McDonnel Douglass execs they acquired were able climb up the ranks of Boeing because they had political connections to get those DoD contracts. The story is the Boeing corporation acquired McDD but McDD execs acquired Boeing.

What happened next is Boeing started doing normal DoD contractor practices and outsource as much as possible to cut costs and open new non-union shops. The clusterfuck that is Boeing now is the outcome of that process.

Obviously you can still call this “c-suite greed” but that would be missing some important details.

There’s literally two astronauts stuck in space right now. They’ve been stuck there for months because Boeing’s shit keeps breaking.

Not billionaires though.

Its because they get pushback from swifties. Its the conflict they are seeking not advancing any political goal.

Luxury Bones

There’s vastly worse billionaires than Taylor Swift. Idk what Swifties on Lemmy you’re trying to trigger. Thompson wasn’t even billionaire but I’d say he was worse than Swift.

The M4A movement was absolutely incompetent if you compared it to health insurance Super PACs. It was basically a bunch unpaid volunteers, many with their own medical debt, against fully salaried lobby groups paid for with our premiums, our denied claims.

I think it would be the other way around: the doctors don’t stop giving you anesthesia if the surgry goes long, but now you wake up to it costing some extra thousands of dollars.

Its Afraid.

Do both but only publish the C tutorial. Only do a Rust translation as a draft so you can learn Rust. It would be wildly irresponsible to publish the Rust translation when its the first time you’ve written Rust.

The idea of letting kids make video games for other kids was great IMO. The idea that it had be financialized with micro transactions that resulted in a mass child labor scheme was that problem.

Calling the democratic party a “coalition” is extremely generous. It’s historically been a corrupt patronage network since Van Buren and any attempt to make it represent the will of its voters is thwarted internally. Its history is a graveyard of progressive movements.

fwiw headscale is pretty easy to self host and has minimal system requirements.

It is funny that involvement in Afghanistan has been passed back and forth between the US an Russia for half a century. Before that it was the UK and Russia. But thats not what the meme is about. The meme revels in its own ignorance of the situation.

Yes, ISKP is a direct consequence of US meddling in the region. Many of it’s members were our collaborators. But I think you’re being unfair here if you’re going to equate Russia trying to stabilize the Taliban’s rule with America’s failure to replace it. Its possible that Russia’s involvement can escalate like it did in the 80s but I doubt that’ll happen. That would be like the America deciding to send troops to Vietnam again.

Finally anyone who has a grain’s worth of intuition about the world’s politics would know that what Russia calls “a partnership against terrorism” is a cover up for continuing to meddle in affairs of middle eastern countries

See that’s just it. You’re operating off you’re preconceived notions instead of the facts on the ground. The fact is the ISKP is operating in northern Afghanistan and is a threat to literally everyone in the region. When you put that into perspective, the meme is not funny and is massively ignorant. Despite all the injustices the Taliban commits, the Islamic State is far far worse. They’re the ones actively suicide bombing Hazari women and the only ones who can stop them are, regrettably the Taliban. Thats a grim and morbid reality, because the Taliban is racist as hell against Hazari’s but they aren’t genocidal like the Islamic State. We’d both like to seem some progressive secular democracy in the region but we spent two decades pissing any chances of that away.

Yeah they’re hyper conservative religious zealots. I have many criticisms of them. Islamic state is far far worse though. Can you at least recognize that the Islamic State is worse?

I never said they didn’t arm them. I explicitly stated multiple times that we agreed on this front. All I stated is that the only islamists doing terrorism are the wahhabists and then you’re like “ah BUT did you consider that the CIA funded those terrorists???” as though that disproves anything I said.

You tried to frame what should’ve been an “yes AND” as some disagreement. There is no disagreement.
