Israel does not have the right to exist as a state in chronic violation of international law
Cool, now enforce it. Oh? You can't? "International law" is just a bunch of words some people wrote down? Okay, thanks for letting me know.

I get by by resenting democracy and the political process. It ain't much but it's honest work.
Moore's law isn't a law anymore and hasn't been for a long time. CPU speeds are stagnant.
So you're just bashing a strawman that you've pigeonholed all opposition into?
If you think radicalized left-wingers are a strawman, you live in a separate universe from mine. Unfortunately, I live in the one where I have to wake up and see flyers around my town unironically claiming Trump ate kids.
Can we swap?
Also I think you meant "capitalists" rather than "anti-capitalists".
No, I'm very much talking about talibanized socialists/communists/whatever they want to particularly call themselves. "Eat the rich" has become "The rich eat babies" because it doesn't matter what you try and get people to believe as long as they align themselves with your side and against the people you don't like. The Big Lie of our times, perhaps?
Tens of thousands of years of political history and the only known paranoia-fueled scandal and suspicion of the elite being immoral pedophiles that I'm aware of is currently happening in a democracy, because a guy who based his identity on knowing as many other powerful people as possible happened to know many powerful people (really??? no way!), and anti-capitalists are desperate for moral superiority so they're willing to psy-op themselves into thinking it's plausible that every person this guy ever emailed must have been a pedo too.
Monarchy never had any of this nonsense. Bring back King George. We made the wrong choice.
The first video says that Thiel is answering the question "What do you make of people celebrating Luigi?" and his response was "There may be things wrong with our healthcare system, but you have to have an argument and find a way to convince people" and that shooting random CEOs "isn't going to work".
Somehow I'm supposed to be led to believe this makes Thiel come across as stupid. My only guess as to how is because the OP must think that shooting CEOs in the street is an obvious rational good and that opposing such is idiocy, or reactionary fascism (in leftist usage, a synonym for idiocy), or so on.
Here's an idea: Host it in the U.S. and tell the UK government to fuck off.
I'm going to draft a new theory of sociopolitics called Pedophile-Oriented Ontology. It's when someone's political critique becomes entirely oriented around accusations of pedophilia or lack thereof.
Monarchy? Le bad, because the king could be a pedo!
This comment does not deserve to be greyed out.
The type of programmer were people would put up with just because they could really go in their cave for a few days and come out with a bug fix that nobody else on the team could figure out is going to have a hard time.
This is the exact type of programmer that isn't going to have any issues - ones who actually know what they're doing and aren't just going to vibecode react slop.
They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months.
How many 6-month periods do we have to go through before we can all admit that this isn't actually the case?
Which universe do you hail from? Because nobody except pedants have relented to this demand from non-computer scientists to conform to a standardization that has nothing to do with them or the work they do.
It would be "literally correct" for you but obviously incorrect to everybody else who has the understanding that a kilobyte = 1024 bytes
Does that include letting them live in our country illegally while they live off of welfare payments?
Well you seemed incapable of using the search bar in your browser so I was just trying to help you out.
Never mind that the cathedral's poison was so insidious precisely because it was bundled along with a bunch of actually-worthwhile ideals, responsible for our country's prosperity and leadership position in the world.
America is big and powerful because it 1) has suffered only one catastrophic national event in its entire history (the Civil War), 2) has a huge abundance of natural resources and 3) managed to swoop in at the end of TWO different world wars back-to-back in order to cement itself as the party in the position to reap the most significant advantages. Not because it was universalist.
The establishment Democrats really screwed up on presenting a galvanizing candidate and sufficiently distancing themselves from Wall Street/Corporate interests.
And good lord, have you seen Gavin Newsom? 2028 looks dreary.
You can call it whatever you like, it's going to happen, and you know it will. You have the choice to not throw your life away by fucking with ICE and trying to aggravate and harass them on purpose, and to not become a clickbait internet video of someone getting shot for being stupid.
I do not understand why my comments are flagged.
Entertaining the idea that they could be wrong goes against their principles.
Have you considered that maybe you just want to live in an echo chamber?
Obstruction of justice, impeding law enforcement activities, and disorderly conduct are not traffic laws.
Prosecuted? He will not even spend a single day in court. You are vastly under-estimating how clearly-cut this is in the officer's favor.
He was moving to assist with an arrest another officer was in the process of making, and it is clear in the video that she looked forward and saw the officer in front of her and decided to accelerate anyway. It doesn't matter if she thought she wouldn't have hit him if she turned hard enough to the right, she hit him anyway.

The prototypal modern day communist is in their 20s and (along with most/all young people) thinks its impossible for the old to understand anything deeper about political theory than what's within the American overton window. They are talking communism with their college classmates, not you, and they know not to reveal their power level to strangers.
communism in fact only is an economic theory and does not implicate anything on other areas of government
This is unbelievably naive.
That's not just insanely inhumane and against basic principles of law but also just illogical.
I agree. As a fun science experiment, you should try posting this somewhere else, but replace "communists" with "fascists" and see what kind of replies you get.
