Yes, he is likely missing those 88 million followers that he had on Twitter. (I guess the 51 people he followed aren't so much missing him) Without Tw...
I totally agree with your argument on the importance of energy. That is crucial. The most abhorrent and lunatic ideas are those that assume that there...
And when we get fusion reactors to be so efficient that they can compete perfectly against other energy sources, I am certain that there will many of ...
This is the unfortunate bind in the US. Even if a net corporations would have tried to be impartial and would have upheld freedom of speech values, th...
Yes, for those who see violence and extra-parliamentary action as the key to get things done in a democracy. Yet of course anti-terrorism usually does...
NOS, now you are only showing that Weimar-mentality. You just assume that they will use events as a pretext to remove civil liberties and and attack t...
I think the Trump crowd accept fringe views because they think that comes with freedom of speach. But yes, they wouldn't allow anyone they consider a ...
Well, the way things are going, we might get bomb attacks also in our local cafeterias where you drink your sustainable fair-trade herbal tea and me m...
It is, cars are registered just once. Anyway, as Baden is closing this thread and there might be another better thread to discuss just what to do with...
And that's how in reality transformations happen. (Except that electric cars have been around since the time of the combustion engine.) And btw it is ...
What is on display is just how the American political system is descending into Weimar style politics as both extremes of the American political spect...
And that happens with consumers choosing electric / fuel cell electric / hybrid vehicles with competition among the car manufacturers driving the cost...
Good example. I remember Dave Rubin was part of the TYT team and then left them. Of course now Rubin went all in with Trump and sided with the electio...
Except Mr Trump himself. The election then was going to be rigged, remember? He was repeating all the same lines before that how rigged the election w...
France has a long tradition of demonsrating in the streets, since their much beloved revolution. The US hasn't had that tradition for a long time, yet...
Well, the debate has moved many pages from this, but I'll reply. Yeah, you can say that, yet society isn't transforming from a feudal society as it wa...
I would, because it's part of the ideology. Fascists just loath plutocracy, nearly as much as communists do. (I assume what Mussolini thought about th...
There's threads about that, as you know, Benkei. Economists like Menger and others have far earlier shown how flawed the theories are, but the most ob...
And how do you define fascism? What in the part of the definition of being "a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe...
Except that China's government lead economy has done quite a lot, which in my view comes close to fascism. But of course, they see themselves as genui...
Naturally any Philosophy forum has for ages been dominated by leftists. Marx simply is such a big part of contemporary philosophy, so the leftists hav...
That's the disgusting part of this. As I said, Cruz has already referred to his former supporters as terrorists. Yet on the other hand, there of cours...
Certainly. That is how crazy things are now in the GOP. Yet that's what it has come down to in the Republican party: to appease these fringe elements ...
As I said earlier, Trump will f**k his lunatic supporters in the end. He naturally doesn't mean anything he says. Hopefully the idiots will get the me...
Plurality of political parties is the natural safety valve in a democracy. A system of two parties has integral problems right from the start. Nice fo...
At least for now, Benkei. As the saying goes... Yes we can too! https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2APE728/barricaden-around-squatting-in-vondelstraat-amsterda...
This is what I'm worried about, because we Europeans really ape all things that happen in the US. Especially the local media copies very often the Ame...
, both can happen. Sure, Trump will be there on Newsmax and perhaps even on Fox commenting and repeating how he was swindled from an election victory ...
Which is a minority of Republicans, of people that voted for Trump. I think that a major reason why both Kelly Loeffler and Perdue lost the Georgia wa...
Not yet, actually. In the next act he will f***k his most loyal supporters I guess. I guess now, with only a few days to go, the Democrats will finall...
And that is why Trump and the Republicans kissing his ass are responsible here for everything. Because for them it's just 2020's political rhetoric. T...
One thing is obvious. The US won't heal, as Joe Biden would want it to. The polarization will continue, the alienation will continue. The fringes will...
And the tragedy is that the cynical (and fearful) Republican politicians simply cannot fathom that going with the polarizing rhetoric that has earlier...
Yep. Now Trump is saying that the election was stolen... but now go home. The guy simply doesn't understand just how seriously his followers take him....
Puerto Rican activists in 1954 showed the example: see 1954 US Capitol shooting. https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/files/2019/12/Boston-Daily-G...
The current problem in American politics in 2020-2021: you don't know when people are sarcastic or not. And Trump, the TV bully, now getting a little ...
Think so? I think that Pence isn't in the crazy crowd. We'll see soon. Interesting that ALL living former secretaries of defense issued a joint statem...
I think so, actually. What was predictable was that such an inept leader as Trump would make his last days a total farce and that he would not bother ...
And something he pretty much prepared for in 2016. And then totally against his own reasoning and expectations, he actually won the election back then...
This might be so. In fact that stocks are going up, gold is going up, bitcoin is going up, all seem to be a sign of one thing: Asset price inflantion ...
Why that indicator of excess deaths is important as obviously the statistics are just a rough estimate. Yet the differences in the statistics do come ...
This is actually one thing I commented earlier as one of the separate discourses in the subject: And of course, it is those values and norms they hold...
Well, he probably hasn't been involved in any painstaking negotiations as the President (negotiations with Trump might be painstaking to others). At l...
And your problem? Decay is something different from the ordinary evolution and transformation of a culture. What you have said is that 1960's is total...
And shouldn't this be done perhaps well before before an agreement was made, right? What would it make you feel if me and you first made an agreement ...
This all just shows the ineptness of Trump. If anyone thinks this is a great way to get "the deal" to made to be done is crazy. This all could have be...
No. That's the most simple, most obvious way where there is hardly any disagreement on what happened. But there are other ways. Another thing is simpl...
