Not saying Biden wasn’t a war criminal and a mass murderer or anything. More like, Biden had at least some shame at being one.

With Russian wages and Russian healthcare? Being a single mom and not being miserable is a Western luxury. One more reason you shouldn’t model your society on “traditional values”.

When you can answer that question, that’s when the insanity will start to end. Took us 35 years.

Oh, I was mixing it up with a dietitian it seems

Sanctioning the ICC for example.

Exactly.

Watch what is happening in Hungary. We were the petri dish, the prototype of the rot, we might be the prototype of the solution.

I guess that is the specific doctor you need to see if you are having nutrition problems, with symptoms like being over or underweight.

So the average person should probs see one in their life.

No, what they really mean is to coalesce around popular issues and stop fucking around.

To open to both sides of the culture war divide and reject the parts of it which are divisive and embrace the parts of it which are unifying. To actually court both left and right wing voters and not left and right wing donors. To rebuild your society.

To stop courting one group at the expense of another and try and find issues with broad appeal. Take for example “draining the swamp”. What if someone actually did that? But instead of campaigning solely on stupid slogans, campaign on a wealth tax and name names where crimes will be investigated and wealth will be confiscated. Or infrastructure. Or anything that everyone can agree on. People like Mamdani are good, but what if you had a Mamdani who can mend bridges even with nationalists? What the current things happening in Hungary is showing us is that everyone slowly got so far from where the people are at, Trump and Harris were both extremists and normal people just want a return to normalcy, where crime meets punishment and an honest life’s rewards are greater than a dishonest life’s. That there is no “left” and “right”, just people with issues.

There was a point where Hungarians also started shooting back in history in similar times. That is a way as well. We went from a place where it was only good for the oligarchy to a point where it was good for nobody. Your equivalent would be that Trump would be hanging from a noose next year, but then AOC would be shot the next. And also their followers. Roving gangs in your town, first rounding up everyone not on the right, then everyone not on the left. Then rinse and repeat. Death, rape and accusations.

And finally you end up with a hyperinflation record and a country that will never be what it once was.

Settler colonialism is not about race, it’s about the goal of eliminating one society by forcibly establishing another and pushing the original one out. What you are talking about is called ethnic cleansing. Settler colonialism attacks the idea of Palestine and Ukraine, ethnic cleansing is killing people systematically because they are Palestinian or Ukrainian.

Israel does their settlement one way, because they are racially and religiously motivated, Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.

Yes, they are not exactly alike, but the actions and end goals don’t differ as much as the motivations.

Are they segregating the population or practicing apartheid based on ethnicity?

As an example, they are declaring the homes of war refugees abandoned, and are giving it to Russians, specifically excluding Ukrainians.

That they are not merely trying to make Ukraine Russian-aligned.

They are trying to move 5 million Russians into Ukrainian territory, and have confiscated tens of thousands of homes after making their owners war refugees and are giving them to Russians.

They have kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, and they are not just educating them to be Ukrainians accepting Russian rule, but they want to completely Russify them as a further attempt of erasing the Ukrainian nation.

Yes. And so is Russia.

Israel wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Palestinians in Gaza. Russia wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

Except Russia also did and is doing settler colonialism, inasmuch they have been moving Ukrainians out and Russians into Ukraine for the past century at least, as they did with other Soviet republics, as they are doing to neighbouring states, with the aim of eroding their national identity.

Just like they are doing now. The only marginal difference is that there are not enough Ukrainians to alter electoral balances, and Russia would be able to dissolve the population of Ukraine via forced relocations instead of just killing them all. Both are genocide by the way.

They are attempting to do the same thing, to erase the national identity of the people living there and conquer the place.

Even the settlement thing matches, the Soviets used to move Russians into all the republics to erase national boundaries and make them all uniformly Russian.

The same thing that stops them from doing the same thing right now to the ISP.

BTW the government will not have the tokens, they will be created on your device, in an auditable way, using OSS.

There are a nearly infinite number of ways for the identity provider to figure that out.

Name one.

Your ID and associated government software.

The government will know who you are, but not what you are requesting the token for. The site will know what the token is for, but will not know who is presenting it.

Imagine it like buying an old fashioned paper bus ticket, in places where tickets are anonymous and interchangeable. The ticket vending machine will get your card info, but will not know what you’ll do with the ticket. Maybe you’ll board a bus, maybe you’ll trade it to a vagrant for a blowie. The ticket machine won’t judge or connect the blowie to your payment info.

Then the vagrant or the bus driver will not get your card payment info either, they’ll only get the ticket, which you could have gotten anywhere, including by blowing someone for it. The bus ticket is the token, it only confirms payment, not identity.

It’s hard to get even more cruel. WARNING: NSFL

Edit: NSFL meaning male baby chicks getting thrown live into a meat grinder,

Is it possible that the will they won’t they tariff policy is actually increasing imports, since companies now have to hold more inventory to cover for it?
