LingcodKilla posted:Do these people support the regime? Would they be less likely to support it if war was on their doorstep? Stop using metaphors. When you say "if war was on their doorstep," what we were talking about is "if we nuked the city they live in, killing millions of them." Definitionally, they'd support it less because a bunch of them would be dead. That aside, do those people support the regime? Most people in NYC and DC don't support Trump, no. My understanding is that most opposition to Putin is in larger cities, so there's a pretty good chance you'd be murdering a bunch of people who don't support him if you nuked Moscow. And Riyadh is about 70% Saudi, they probably mostly support the saud dynasty (though a bunch of them are children), the remaining 2 million people you'd be murdering are foreigners, I'd guess the majority of those are workers imported from elsewhere who probably aren't particularly fond of the Suadis.

CSPAM livestream has an interview with Mark Meadows on and hes just a loving moron in comparison to what we've listened to. Hes just attacking reporters at this point for "not being present at every meeting I have so you just don't understand lady" kinda deal.

Crakkerjakk posted:*Thinking real hard* I think life would be miserable if no civilians died. We'd all be hungry, points of view would become crystallized in unending bureaucracy as old ideas remain with the old and undying. Their bodies would bend under millennia of wear. The only relief from an immortal prison would be with a rifle in your hands and nobody could die without violence. Immortality is terrifying to be honest, even when you offer a way out. Enough navel gazing on the horrors of unending life, however. hypnophant posted:Is Morales the only leftist politician in Bolivia? Is there some reason he was unable to find a successor who could carry on his work without violating the constitution he himself established? Admittedly, I know nothing about Bolivia, don't have a dog in a fight, and refuse to support anyone based on their chirality. The last few pages have been very confusing. But I'm feeling philosophical and this is an important point worth emphasizing when viewing Democracy in general. There should be very good reasons an individual, especially one with which half the country agrees with, cannot pass the scepter of responsibility to another. When there isn't, it's generally because of power behind an individual personality--at best an emphasis on celebrity and public agreement with an individual's will, at worst a cult of that personality and antidemocratic aggregation of power that leaves a people vulnerable later. Not knowing the situation, there perhaps is a reason for that. Perhaps Morales is a uniquely powerful leader, holds a rare set of skills for governance not readily available in the populace, or has a grand vision and the drive to lead Bolivia towards it, and needs more time to develop these qualities in others. Instances like this have been of value in the world as often as they have been disastrous. I don't know and I'm not saying he doesn't. But it should be considered dangerous, even by his supporters. piL fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Nov 13, 2019 |

I am so, so very happy they went with letting legal counsel do the questioning and told Republicans to go gently caress themselves with circus side-show antics. Not ping-ponging back and forth between 5 minute sound-bite fishing expeditions and Infowars talking point vomit gives me some hope in this process.

They're approaching this like a criminal trial, and the GOP is acting like it's a town hall debate or CPAC. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Prior to asking the witnesses any questions, Democratic Rep. Jim Himes said, "One of the things I find startling about these proceedings is that, faced with very serious allegations of presidential misconduct, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle don't engage or defend that conduct." Himes went on to say that, instead, Republicans "spin theories about black ledgers and Steel dossiers and the startling revelation that Ukrainians might have been upset when a presidential candidate suggested that perhaps he would let the Russians keep Crimea." Himes said Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, in his opening statement, "most disgustingly attacked the extraordinary men and women of the state department and the FBI."

I like to read the CE thread to keep up to date on what’s going on but lately it’s been really toxic. Can we as a group lay off the insults towards one another please? It’s cool to disagree with one another but direct attacks aren’t cool and don’t do anything other than further divide any already dying sub forum.
