Bernie Sanders Receives Praise From Left And Right For Charlie Kirk Message: ‘Best Take I’ve Seen’

"A government is an institution that holds a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence."
Politics and violence cannot be separated. The only relevant factor is "legitimacy", which is determined politically.
At what point, during the incremental rise of the Nazis, would it have become "legitimate" to take action against them, and how would this legitimacy be determined? Too early, and it would have been seen as illegitimate murder or "political violence" - too late and... Well, we know what happened.

People in other countries use all sorts of crazy "languages". We don't bother with that here, we just talk normally.

It won't be government supplied. You'll buy a basic terminal from some big tech company, and then subscribe to a plan that will grant you access to remote processing, memory, and cloud storage. Think Google Stadia but for everything. Using a computer will be more like using, say, the PlayStation store. You won't be able to install whatever you like - only what is made available. Piracy or adblocking will be impossible. Privacy and anonymity will become things of the past. Even news and information will be curated. And you'll have to keep paying for it all in perpetuity, while being tracked and forced to consume manipulative, targeted advertising.

Trump mulls 'winding down' war and leaving Strait of Hormuz crisis to 'other nations'

It also undermines the entire petrodollar/Bretton Woods system that gives the almighty US dollar its power. This will be a big win for China, when countries start trading in their USD for Yuan buy oil.

Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife?
Reply in thread
I'm guessing the logic is:
Gay people only have sex for pleasure (because they can't reproduce), therefore, all sex for pleasure is gay.
Its like saying fish only swim in water because they can't go on land, therefore, all creatures that swim are fish.

I'm a MAGAt
Reply in thread
RickyRigatoni's reply was valid. The OP mentioned Iran killing 20k protestors as a MAGAt excuse for Trump's illegal and stupid war. You called this "whitewashing", which it isn't, because even though the killings did occur, they do not constitute a valid justification as the MAGAts claim.. This was RickyRigatoni's point. Nobody is defending or denying Iran's killing of protesters.

Funny, I thought that's what they believed, too. Now, suddenly they seem to think it's best to leave the global pedophile cabal in power.

To an extent, yes, but they could do it much more easily and accurately if there was a unique, biometric identifier associated with all your actions across your devices which cannot be disabled.
