Fair, but there’s a big difference between the Ukraine invasion and this. Ukraine was the result of a calculated effort to force Russia’s hand. This seems like an unforced error, and I don’t see why we should assume Maduro is incapable of making miscalculations just because he has the right ideas in a lot of other areas.
Do you genuinely think this is a good idea for Venezuela? It’s not that I think it’s unjust, I honestly don’t know enough about the history of the disputed territory to pass judgement. It just seems like a really dumb move from Maduro. There’s no clear benefit resource wise (they already have enough oil), its not going to foster any goodwill among other South American countries, if the US gets involved Venezuela is fucked, and even if successful they’re going to have to sink a lot of energy into administering the newly annexed territory (which is never easy).
If you told me “Germany is making people agree to support Israel as a requirement for citizenship” I would probably assume it was rumor made up on /pol/
I mean, things absolutely will get worse if/when Trump wins in 2024. Not looking forward to it.
Anyone else notice how the liberal attitude towards the media has become identical to MAGA people since they started giving Biden less favorable coverage?
I mean it’s the US military so I’m gonna bet that it’s actually antisemitism. I doubt any of them like Muslims enough to be pro-Palestine either.
Never been prouder of my home state
Online discourse has gotten considerably worse since libs discovered whataboutism as a way to avoid examining any potential inconsistencies in their worldview
Ok, please educate me on the nuance I’m missing.
As a communist you should realize that the only principled position to have on a war between two capitalist countries is to hope it ends as soon as possible, because the alternative is more proles dying in vain. I mean this in the most constructive way possible, you could benefit from doing some self-crit regarding the way you are viewing this war.
It wasn’t a famine, Stalin literally ate all of the food single-handedly with his massive spoon. Tankies like you will deny this.
Because Google, as shitty as they are, understand that releasing an AI genuinely capable of rapidly automating entire professions would be disastrous for everybody (including them).
you right now
I don’t really have an opinion on it, I think it’s a meaningless aphorism.
The lack of documentation is an issue, but in my experience the Arch wiki is good enough source for troubleshooting EndeavorOS issues.
FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn’t throw some bones to the working class.
requires the federal government to maintain a climate that supports human life.
Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is “the most progressive president since FDR” I’m straight up spitting in their face.
Google SGE includes Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini on a list of “greatest” leaders and Hitler also makes its list of “most effective leaders.”
Google made a fucking nazbol AI lmao. But seriously, I was having a conversation about Bard with some people in my company’s machine learning department. It seems way too dumb for something Google has pumped so much money and talent hours into. It’s likely that Bard is an intentionally dumbed down version of whatever Google has working internally. Sundar Pichai made some comments to the NYT that seems to suggest this.
Their entire stock of chill Zyns.
