Sanguinia posted:Total side note: Today I was teaching about causes of World War 1 and trying to explain how Nationalism is bad and leads to wars, and was focusing on the idea that Nationalism often leads to demonizing other countries who are perceived as potentially threatening yours, especially when you're on top of the global hierarchy, making war more likely as both leaders and citizens start to see any competitor as an enemy. When they seemed to struggle with understanding this in terms of the rivalry between 1900s UK and Germany, I tried to analogize by telling them about how in the 80s the US started to see Japan's economic growth as a threat when they started buying American companies and offices in American cities, despite them being one of our closest allies, to the point where people embraced Xenophobia and even sometimes open racism, peddling crazy conspiracy theories that this was going to become some kind of Economic Takeover and it would be their revenge for losing World War 2. Did you show them this

Sorry if this was already posted, but it looks like Mike Parson is continuing to be a huge shitbag: https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1392971678519541769 Here's some responses in the story from him and state Democrats: quote:"Although I was never in support of MO HealthNet expansion, I always said that I would uphold the ballot amendment if it passed," Parson said. "However, without a revenue source or funding authority from the General Assembly, we are unable to proceed with the expansion at this time and must withdraw our state plan amendments to ensure Missouri's existing MO HealthNet program remains solvent." I wish we could have a federal ballot initiative question for a single payer healthcare system and just get that done already

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Yeah, for all the abuse the two party nature of American politics gets (and deserves), it has had the advantage of denying absolute lunatics control over the government in all but two occasions: the run-up to the Civil War and the last couple decades. Imagine if instead of FDR we had so many small parties that an actual fascist of some stripe had been elected during the Great Depression. I think the success of liberalism in the US has less to do with the particular structure of our government and more to do with global circumstances and us having three million square miles of territory to conquer and exploit followed by the collapse of basically every empire except our own and Japan.

Slowpoke! posted:Doctor Rand Paul has very publicly said he doesn’t need the vaccine since he already caught Covid. That's one thing I've been wondering, is the immune response built by contracting the virus much worse than one built by the vaccine? Received wisdom all my life has been that if you catch something once you can't get it again (or for some period of time), you know, like chicken pox. Is that not the case with covid? https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1393193114060349442 Wasserman caused Sinema!!! https://twitter.com/brikeilarcnn/status/1393191121749168129 Red state vax hesitancy solved

Sephyr posted:Right? I mean, even from a lizard-blooded realpolitik imperialist perspective, there is nothing to be gained by boosting Israel to the degree the US does. It grants no useful resources. It doesn't even serve as a base for its military presence in the region. Grants no air access. No oil or gas ducts run through it. It's bordering no common enemy of note that they can't reach or project power onto. It costs money, prestige, security. US foreign policy isn't really about realpolitik or getting an advantage in the Great Game with other major powers or any of that. It's mostly about funneling the wealth of the country into the pockets of military contractors and the rest of the war industry, and a client state in an endless forever war with an insatiable appetite for bombs and munitions is pretty good for that.

VitalSigns posted:You can say the same thing about the afghanistan war, what benefit exactly is there for the US in propping up a corrupt incompetent puppet government there for decades? Afghanistan sits on an important route for gas and oil ducts. It's also a mineral bonanza: lithium, copper, sulphur, bauxite. Keeping it open to US business interests fits a more traditional imperialist MO. As for the war industry, you're very much not wrong, but the US government just gives Israel billions every year, which they then use to buy US weapons. Why not skip the middleman and just give the cash to the companies, without getting involved in a moral sinkhole? I guess that's be socialism.

As for why they don't just sign over the whole GDP to Lockheed Martin directly: they would if they could and they give them a lot but at some point you need a plausible excuse for public consumption like the War On Terror or defending plucky Israel's democracy or whatever. Supporting Israel is an excuse to give bomb makers a never ending market for their bombs: it's constantly at war, surrounded by people it's trying to conquer, you can leverage Americans' racism against Arabs and Muslims to get public support, etc. It's the perfect ally if all you need is a way for you and your friends to loot the global superpower.
