And those numbers were always going to be an undercount anyway due to the nature of the war. Hard to confirm the dead in a pile of rubble while the hospitals are being attacked.

I guess it doesn't pass a profitability or tech development threshold for investment. I'd still think there would be government subsidies so that the definitive imperial core could control more of the oil markets.

Is there a reason for this? Surely, it would be more profitable to refine it and export it, right?

Is it decades of neoliberalism and the austerity enforced after the financial crisis? Is it having a black man as president triggering the racism lobe of the angloid brain? No it's all the Republicans fault.

They can only understand things in great man theory and they only look at history to justify things they already believe.

"We live in a free country without state planning/control." Except that we don't. We live in one large corporate state.

When I'm older and all the corporations have merged together I look forward to being buried in a Ronald McDonald coffin that will take my future children 10 years, at least, to pay off.

What the fuck is that chart? I know I've seen things like this but they have chapotraphouse on there and they have chapo as more politically biased than ~~Sean Hannity~~ fucking info wars.

Like, I know what purpose this serves in the manufacturing of consent and all that, but what brain damaged neanderthal made this?

The world is is kind of fucked either way. If MAD has broken down and the nukes are actually flying the entire planet will be destabilized as various environmental systems break down. More nukes don't help and I can't in good conscience say that I should make the decision or know what would be best for humanities future. The capitalist empire can't really sustain itself either way if nuclear hellfire has scarred and destroyed the world. There would only be global hatred for the Americans if they nuke the chinese like that.

I can understand both decisions from the Chinese though. It would only be fair, after all, for the chinese to retaliate.

Centrists do love avoiding "ideology" and then being cowards in front of any moral question and position. They just reinvent new ways to show the Disco Elysium quote:

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

to buy more time to organize revolutionary organizations

What revolutionary organizations truly exist in the US? Like we have some fringe political parties but there just aren't the conditions for anything close to a real revolution in this country. We barely have unions half the time and a lot of them aren't militant in any way. Most people in the US are atomized little consumers with treat brain. Mass politics in this country just can't really exist in a meaningful way right now and that's regardless of who is president.

If the United States is going to have a revolution then it will be after capitalism has further declined and the conditions arise for it. We can prepare and build organizations for when that happens and better our local communities in the mean time.

"I bought a farm and now that I have to coexist with nature it's pissing me off."

No but this is about continued influence after whatever backlash happens against Millei. It's to keep influence once he's gone.
