Humans don’t necessarily become afraid of large bodies of water while infected with rabies.

Rabies takes away your ability to drink water and swallow, and attempting to drink feels like you’re choking. I think this leads some patients to have an aversion to water despite being dangerously thirsty. They try to drink the water best they can, but they just choke on it.

Also a great example of how fact checking fascists is completely ineffective. Platforming a fascist via a debate does nothing other than legitimize their viewpoints.

The International Monetary Fund predicts that Russia will record economic growth of 3.2% this year. Caveats aside, that’s still more than in any of the world’s advanced economies.

Not trying to add FUD, but have there ever been cases of Spotify banning people for using their paid license to run homebrew versions of Spotify?

So honest question, with Zelenskiy himself saying that they are critically low on artillery, artillery shells, and armored vehicles, what strategic advantage is afforded by the long range missiles that have been in the news so much lately? What benefit does striking some random target hundreds of miles within Russia accomplish for Ukraine, who is slowly losing the ability to hold ground?

You’re out of your depth here… Those reasons for affordable solar cells on earth in no way directly translate to applications in completely different environments (planets or moons)

… why tho

Just ask NASA or ESA

This idea of “well earth has solar, so solar must work just as well on the moon!” doesn’t take into account natural lunar resources (solar needs rare earth metals) , atmospheric conditions, thermal conditions, material transport, etc… Sure, a well-functioning moon settlement would probably have a combination of thermo, solar, and nuclear power, but it is strange how you’re writing off one of the most promising forms of energy that excites and interests space scientists most.

These issues you’re having just sound like cope due to the fact that the US is now lagging in space science.

Why do any space exploration?

While the west sells off space to billionaires and the private sector, we need players doing actual science.

Nope. Docker doesn’t do that. That’s something else.

Their villainous gunmen versus our trained soldiers.

They are really laying it on thick with the passive voice.

Show me where the entire Russian military leadership was saying similar shit.

Do you understand what living conditions were like before the revolution? Socialism took an agrarian society and catapulted it into one that won the space race. Literaracy, food output, lifespan all increased during socialism, and they deteriorated again once the USSR devolved back into capitalism.

Bruh, you literally just linked to a paragraph that makes the claim that the idea of a three-day conquest came purely out of American and Ukrainian speculation. This is exactly what I’m saying, save for that one Lukashenko quote.

I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about the invasion, but I am going to call you out for sheisty implied quotes. Any reasonable and adequately uninformed person would read your “three day war” comment in response to a comment chain about putin and assume you were talking about putin. You deserve to get called out for that. It’s misleading and disingenuous.

Oh my bad, for some strange reason I had assumed you were talking about Putin in a comment chain devoted to talking about Putin.

Show me where Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I am not claiming democracy led to Israeli zionism. I am claiming that liberalism did.

Make no mistake: I am not attempting to conflate democracy and capitalism. I am making the claim that the two are incompatible. If anyone is trying to conflate capitalism and democracy, it is you.

I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about how democratic Israel is, but it’s clear to anyone with a basic understanding of liberalism that Israel is indeed a country based on liberalism values.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basic_Law:_Human_Dignity_and_Liberty&diffonly=true

The values espoused in Israeli basic law are textbook liberalism:

• protection of private property
• protection of personal liberties
• freedom of movement
• Supreme rule of law
• guarantees of no violations of enshrined rights

Israel is a textbook liberal state, and its withering down to fascism has already been predicted by leftist theory. Make a venn diagram of the values espoused in Israel’s basic laws and values promoted in classic liberalism, and you have a circle.

Try to understand the article i referenced earlier, which is the crux of my argument. Liberalism enables fascism.

Funny how the points in your middle paragraph could just as easily be applied to America.

Israeli zionist fascism is the result of Liberal democracy both in Israel, America, and beyond.

If you think the issue lies in one bombastic and opportunistic president, and not our deity-like elevation of these lifetime-appointed robed clerics who are the only ones we entrust to interpret the constitution as if they have some divine patriotism, then you have been oriented by the democratic party away from what would otherwise be discontentment with the political system, and instead against the republican party which, as it just so happens, makes you fall in line with the democratic party and their fundraising strategies. The democrats desperately want you to ignore the gaping insecurities, volatility, and exploitation in our political system and instead instill a fear of Republicans.

Trump merely saw how easy it’d be to capture our judicial system that was devised by 20 year old white slavers only 4 generations ago. He correctly identified how the Supreme law of the land is all based on a flimsy interpretation of the honor system: we appoint justices for life and basically just trust them to play nice for their entire tenure without provisions to deal with judicial capture. It’s honestly a miracle we’ve gotten this far without more judges being captured.

Sounds like your uncle did end up working for the company again, if only for an hour or day.

Are body cams really providing justice? Where is Sonya’s justice? Hailing body cams as the ultimate police reform is the type of thing I’d expect a cop to say. For people who have been experiencing this racist police violence for generations, it’s clear that body cams are at best a half measure, and at worst a means of documenting all of the brutal murders that pigs continue to carry out on innocent people while body cams are running. The answer isn’t in body cams, but in comprehensive police reform. So long as the pigs are running around with sus norse tattoos, toxic masculinity (“nah im good” -cop who just developed a tremor in has hand after holding in the brains of a gasping woman for 5 min), guaranteed firearms, no psychological training, gang support via departments, body cams aren’t really going to do shit to protect at-risk people.

I am very critical of this ultra pro body cam discourse. It seems like a distraction. Make no mistake, there is no justice today because of the body cams present for Sonya’s execution.
