Can we all agree that violent revolutions are generally a serious hardship for the average person who just wants to get on with their life, it mattering little if it’s a leftist or right-wing revolution?

The revolutionaries—in words recently heard from President Musk and his wingman Donald Trump—convince themselves that average citizens not onl…[Read more]

I think the Kibbutz is a great idea. Many Irish people worked on one for the summer back in the 70’s and 80’s. I have never met anyone who had a bad experience there.

I am sick of hearing from ignorant lefties who think that social media educates them and that their ill-informed opinions are of equal value to freethinkers who study the facts…[Read more]

Enco, i was not thinking of the communist rev. in China. Could be any place. But your take is a gross oversimplification. I oppose doctinaire thinking. Unfortunately we see the overwhelming numbers married to their ideology and incapable of analyzing their betrothed. Regurgitation of political rhetoric is the outer limit for the masses.…[Read more]

Reg,

…and the idea for a sovereign wealth fund is not a very good one…

This is a terrible Universal Basic Income idea of Trump’s. Alaska already has a form of this, where State citizens get a share of oil revenues. It doesn’t change the fact that everything there is more expensive than in the contiguous 48 States due to having to ship eve…[Read more]

Jakedelafort,

I inadvertently wrote capitalism when i intended communism in relation to a dalliance.

So yeah communism has proven itself to be abhorrent. However and let me be concrete. Lets assume a famine, a bloody revolution. People starving to death and eating corpses. That happened during the Chinese revolution in fact. THAT may be the…

Reg,

Who needs the stupid FDA anyway! I am going to chill out tomorrow with a lucky dip of compound meds from “Hims and Hers”.

Indeed. They are the biggest barrier to the drug repurposing we were discussing earlier. If the FDA wasn’t put on a leash, AIDS patients couldn’t use Thalidomide in their therapy.

If the label is accurate and all ris…[Read more]

Jakedelafort,

I am not in any way endorsing communism. Only saying that there are phases in which fledgling nations in exigent circumstances are or may be better served by a dalliance with capitalism than say a fucking ruthless dictator. Imposing from without and having no regard for the people who live there is cold, ice cold. And yes…

“I’ll never understand the christian logic of hating Jews because they turned hay-zeus over for execution. Let’s set asides the lack of evidence of any of this, beyond accounts written in Koine Greek by cultists 40 years later. Did they not require a human sacrifice to be “saved”? They should be thanking the Jews for delivering god to himself…[Read more]

The following article is short and worth noting. Quoting from article, on Good Morning Britain “During a segment on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, attended by King Charles, presenter Ranvir Singh stated: “Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because t…[Read more]

If The Trumpster was bluffing with his 10% additional tariff on Chinese goods, General Secretary Xi is not.

Enco i made it through about half of Das Kapital. Not fun reading!

Jakelafort,

I think the contemporary political rhetoric was roughly we can fight them over there or over here. And then there was the domino theory. Consistent with US foreign policy we chose to fight em there and never seemed to care if it was some ruthless dictator we supported.

By repealing foreign aid, we don’t have to fight here or there.…[Read more]

I think people in Europe are not so much annoyed with Trump as they are with America in general. They are having difficulty in understanding why so many people voted for him when it is blatantly obvious that he has no presidential qualities. They are laughing about it but it is gallows humor. But I also think most of them “have enough already” but…[Read more]
