@JankoWa28734531@golub He is unfortunately Polish and I am also afraid that each month a larger share of Poles sympathize with his views. I am still hopeful for a turnaround.
@RiannTravis@aziz0nomics Postcom SoL very much outmatches anything socialism delivered. This is a lived experience, which is supported by hard data. Any Pole who lived through communism can vouch that the access to commodities, services and culture has improved significantly since '89.
@RiannTravis@aziz0nomics Many faults of the system were only confirmed post mortem, so it's incorrect to use '91 referendum as a basis for support and, at least in Poland, communism is not being viewed favorably, according to scarce polling.
@RiannTravis@aziz0nomics It's important to point out people were not exactly sure what they supported as there was no freedom of press under communism. Censorship and surveillance was prevalent in Soviet republics.
Depending on the state anti-communist activist faced severe repressions and exiles.
@freedumenjoyer@denaltb He considers Iran a hostile state, but he's against this particular attempt by Trump. For good reason, considering it most likely ended up being a huge failure.
@Dispropoganda It has to be stressed the expulsion was not a retaliation for German crimes, though it might have been seen by many as such.
I was a prevention from future German territorial claims and invasions.
@ves_tanka I don't doubt these kinds of situations take place in Ukraine, however, the snapshot in question (green tractor) is actually from Weld County, Colorado.
I knew I've seen it before and a quick google search confirmed that.
@StPistacchio@SpaghettiKozak@TheGreeneBJ We can probably divide complexity into two metrics: retrospective and prospective.
Retro - how we got where we are today
Pro - what can be done to resolve the conflict
I would say that Ukraine, I/P is retro complicated, but pro easy.
Syria is retro easy, but pro very tough
@clashreport The type of goods doesn't matter, it's its designation. If the equipment makes an effective contribution to military action it's deemed a fair target.
Amazon could be selling any military equipment and it'd be considered a civilian target if it's not supplying a military.
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 All the views I pointed out are destructive.
So if challenging any view doesn't change anything, why insist on talking to Asmon? Obviously it won't change anything, they're as dug in as Hasan's fans are.
I am not going to reply anymore, we're clearly talking past each other.
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 Supporting third party candidates in general elections
Supporting terrorists like Houthis, Hezbollah, communism surveillance states like China, Russian annexation of Ukraine
Promoting socialist model of economy, advising 'reeducation' for capitalists
Condoning political violence
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 Far left wing is the best argument for right wing, because they look as unhinged as far right technocrats and theocrats.
Hasan can believe whatever he wants but people should know his ideas are as destructive as Asmon's ignorance. Asmon at least admits he doesn't know shit.
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 Political identity literally describes your stance. These things are well substantiated in the political theory.
I already told you, the value of debates is the friction between ideas, which Hasan never does, because he's in an echo chamber and the ideas are rigid.
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 Let me cut to the chase, Hasan is careful with introducing any people with differing views to his sphere. This is not a mistake, the ability to keep a facade of political guru comes from not engaging with people outside of his zone, that would force him to contend with his views
@AdamasReformed@Cweaver48 Hasan is ML, Destiny is a Liberal.
Hasan is a populist, Destiny isn't one.
Hasan aligns with China/Russia, Destiny with US, etc..
Forget Destiny though why doesn't he talk to any heavy-hitters with opposite views? Don't you think his views should be challenged?
