Think so? Let me ask you that after a decade, if we still would be here on this forum. Far more realistic than mining asteroids. (For those interested...

Culture wars is a trap that we have fallen in for. It's a way to make everybody a moron and let people go fighting their strawmans. Even the name "Cul...

Direct action and using violence has worked. Creating economic losses has surely worked. War works. Someone's freedom fighter is another one's terrori...

Companies are surely driven by profit and not by charity. Yet their actions are just part of the whole. But let's think of your argument about outsour...

I'd say it really won't be, if we are smart. I think that Amartya Sen, the Indian nobel-economist, has a point when he argues that basically famine is...
June 30, 2020 at 10:19

I do like the US, Wheatley. Yet is being truthful and realistic an act of hostility? You could do what many have already said you should do: if you st...

Right wing rags doing Animal Farm shit is a hilarious oxymoron.
June 27, 2020 at 17:37
