I would argue the thread labeled [Dems] or [Biden] can kind of serve that purpose.

why not the one called [succ]?

the whole point of having our own forum is to not get hosed with like this

the actual admins are mad/having a tantrum, just let our brave mods be their low energy patsies. u just wait em out. not like they actually care. That and its drat funny+we get to roast our mods in the interregnum.

seriously, what on earth are they mad about? is it really just that the zone is rude and irreverent?

I assume this is succzone now.

Really would think the people that hated succzone would rather keep it for containment instead of releasing it over a couple threads.

i just liked it cuz it drew a crowd and got lots of posts

that thread moved better (and along the topics i'm interested in) than most of the threads in c-spam now

Honestly when I changed this thread's title to have a coded "succ" in it I figured I was making it the succzone again because it basically was already, and if the mods were mad about it they'd let me know, and none of them have done that yet so this is the succzone now, enjoy

granted the thing i find sus is "aren't those accusations like 4 years old with no credible conclusion beyond the accusations?" seems like more of a convenient excuse to boot him now. mods are petty authoritarians, no doubt

its loving insane and hyperreal that the president of the united states is obviously senile and its something that absolutely no one in the mainstream press can talk about

it reminds me of the stories about the press never showing FDR's wheelchair out of preserving the dignity of the office

except this time the impairment actually severely impacts the president's ability to carry out the duties of his office, lol

but we all already know this. the system is a massive incomprehensible machine with illogically varying incentive structures that is running entirely on its own without any real control or ability to alter its outcomes without functionally destroying it. it can only be destroyed by coming up against the immutable effects of history/natural change or collapse under its own sprawling weight

i thought matt breunig had the best take on the checks:

the additional $1400 cannot be considered a continuation of the $600 if they have additional income restrictions put upon them; that fundamentally makes them a different stimulus check - they are a new check for $1400 with different limitations on who has access to them

Hey, watch it, you sound like you're calling them an opposition that is controlled, or something like that.

the democratic party, along with the republican party, is a controlled party, run by a tiny subset of extremely wealthy people

the democratic party is "controlled opposition" though the opposition part is becoming increasingly meaningless

i watched "captain fantastic" last night and its the most 2014-2016 obama centrist movie i've seen in a looooong time

the whole film is a strawman argument against "radical leftism" with the conclusion being "its ok to grow some of your own food in a garden and have some fringe political beliefs, but at the end of the day you should live in a single family home and send your kids to american schools"

that movie aged like loving milk and its hilarious that even upon its release in 2016 it was doomed by a rising sanders movement and growing radicalization among left-leaning americans, and of course the naked failure of centrism at the hands of hillary clinton, and even more of course trump in general

anyway, just wanted to get it off my chest that the film is an intentionally halfbaked strawman designed to celebrate moderation, centrism, and traditional amercan values. it has nothing important or interesting to say and is ultimately a bad movie. but it could have been a good one

i know its stupid and partially a major self own, but the fact of the matter is that finance and capital desperately need hundreds of millions of people willing to be sent off to facilitate and die in pursuit of the wealthy's interests

to rid themselves of excess population, or to exploit them so fiercely that they resent and/or oppose the state drastically reduces the ruling parties' ability to maintain their hegemony

finance and capital rely heavily on military coercion and any conflict between major powers will necessitate mobilizing countless millions. there is some need to make sure those people actually want their side to win the war
