The same place as stable funding for journalism.

Yeah. He is either incredibly delusional about what is going on or his administration is really great at keeping him in the dark.

A lot of conspiracy discussion websites were manipulated in a way to get Donald Trump elected president.

For physical labor no one wants to do, you can finesse your response to be less “not my job” and more “I have other tasks I need to do now as part of my job”. It may sound similar, but one is making it so that you are determining what is and isn’t your responsibility and the other is pushing that decision on someone else.

Someone else hired you to push people around. You can’t override your boss, so you need to focus on the work they give you and take the breaks you can on their time table. A nurse may have deserved status, but unless the chain of command runs through them, you got to follow the chain.

Still applies more to Trump than Biden or Harris, given Trump’s open corruption feeding into crony capitalism.

Like I’ve said before, it feels like the term is being changed because the argument behind how I’m using it is hard to refuse, so the choice is to try to redefine the word rather than discuss the argument.

No. It means picking the person who will accelerate into whatever calamity which will cause a collapse.

I feel like there is a lot of revisionism of the definition because the definition is inconvenient to the opposing argument.

An accelerationist is picking someone who will collapse the empire due to incompetence and destroying American institutions. Between Trump and Harris, I don’t see Harris causing a collapse of American institutions like Trump.

Also, in regards to Iran, Trump has been far more antagonistic than Biden and Democrats in general were. The Biden administration at least needed a false flag attack to support Israel and a lot of the opposition came from Democrats. Trump got rid of Obama’s multilateral nuclear treaty and has participated in Israeli attacks where Israel was the aggressor.

Next time you want to say “that’s not my job”, change what you’re saying to “I don’t have the authority to do what you’re asking and you have more authority in asking the admins to do it than I do”.

That way, you’re not communicating that you won’t help, but that you can’t help. It also comes off that you’re trying to help with the situation rather that being a road block.

No. Wanting Trump to win is accelerationist because he’s going to cause the empire to fall faster due to incompetence.

You aren’t angry at Democrats for war crimes, you’re angry at them because they are better at governing.

Ahh, so you’re an accelerationist.

I don’t think Harris would have bombed Iran.

But hey, it is better to do something that feels good than something which affects change, right?

Yeah. The criticism of Biden in Gaza was valid, but Gaza wasn’t on the ballot in 2024. A Trump election meant US support of more Israeli aggression.

Russia is already sanctioned/sanctioning due to the Ukraine War. China maybe could, but they are more focused on renegotiating a trade deal. The EU is already in the process is strategic decoupling and can’t go that much faster. Any other country is likely going to either have enough economic consequences that they can’t afford to or are doing so little trade that it doesn’t mean anything any way.

Yeah, it is going to get awkward for FIFA playing in half filled stadiums.

It isn’t like Arlington, TX is going to be that much better.

It isn’t that surprising. Humans have gotten very good at raising chickens in the past 60 years.

Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.

Some forms of social interaction are fun for me, others aren’t. I usually do better in smaller groups.

Don’t. Take a break. Touch grass.

Is it correlation or causation? I ask because I’ve seen other evidence which seems to indicate that depression is an early indicator or mental deterioration.
