I always wonder if anti-depressants would even be necessary in a people's state on its way to communism.

Wait, so workplace SA is now just casually called "unusual" and "boundary-blurring" relationships?

In terms of the mainstream economic metrics liberal economists always like to cite, Ukraine is the worst performing nation in the world since the Yeltsin coup. You can even ignore the last four years to take the war and covid out of the picture, the story remains the same.

Out of all the formerly Soviet states, Ukraine is the closest to the US, is portrayed as being the most "western," and is the one which gave up its resources to western [allied] kleptocrats.

Meanwhile the post Soviet states which kept some level of resource and economic nationalism, and while capitalist at least have a national bourgeoisie rather than an Atlanticist one, are much better off in terms of their real economies and sovereignty.

The US debt is meaningless so long as the USD remains the global reserve currency. With the current trends of dedollarization that may not last for much longer.

It may be a splitting of hairs as well, but I would argue that domestic US financial policy vis a vis US workers has been austere for fifty years. Expenditures on private industry only grow, while any and all services for the services for the people are ruthlessly cut.

I usually look through a few reviews, both on computer journalism sites and forums for real world experiences.

This one seems perfectly sufficient, especially for the price. Won't break any records, but it's not supposed to. It's better suited as a secondary storage drive though, there are better options out there in terms of an SSD to install your OS to, specifically ones with some DRAM cache and a higher TBW.

Turkish Missile Crisis Part Two: Ukranian Escalation Boogaloo

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

It makes perfect sense, but it's still crazy to me how everyone in the west knows at least in passing about the term "Cuban missile crisis," but nothing of its origin or resolution. It should really be named the Turkish missile crisis, but of course the empire won't name propaganda events after its own overreach and posturing.

Yes, but even so, China's "cost per GDP point" is lower than any other nation at the same point in their GDP development.

I've seen parallels drawn and have drawn parallels myself between today and the 1920s and early 1930s, especially in Germany.

This isn't that. This is 1943, when everyone knows exactly what's happening, and they're standing by and defending it.

forgetting that she praised her [Nazi] grandpa

Was it this speech? I'm having trouble finding anything else but I'd like to see the original quote.

Double standard as usual.

US citizenship law states that a US citizen automatically loses their citizenship when they pledge allegiance to another state, become a member of government of another state, or join another state's military as an officer or if said state is a declared enemy.

Since Israel can do no wrong in the eyes of the US state anything goes, but look at the treatment of any US person who moves abroad and becomes an important part of a non-aligned nation's zeitgeist.
