"Elected"

Ah here we go, from Feburary: "Somalia's leadership has made a swift reversal on an oil exploration deal signed with a US company. On Saturday, the Mi...

I don't know how to put it better than this. As for the above conversation, I don't support terrorism, but I sure as day support counter-terrorism.

Oops. https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1527092111195226114?t=4aJHaYj9gZy3NsxYz4B4qg&s=19 These are the demented murderous fucking clowns that peo...

This is exactly it.

I'd like you to know I didn't read any of this. Not a word. If I wanted a second-hand Wikipedia summary I'd do it myself. However, why do you think Al...

You said you'd judge Western reaction and hypocrisy if they send troops. And if they do worse? Like getting others to die for them? Off the hook?

Why would the US do that when they can get Ukrainians to die en masse on their behalf? A frankly worse thing to do.

No, it's a special military operation.

And I'm drawing a factual distinction between a government requesting military assistance from a foreign power and a local population - or at least pa...

And the populations of Donbass invited Putin or they didn't. Here's what you're missing: it doesn't fucking matter. If the US is sending troops overse...

According to Putin, he was invited by Russian-speaking populations who were - and this is actually true - getting fucked by the Ukrainian central gove...

Except this is exactly what Putin said did in fact happen in the Donbass. But of course, when the US says it, one is obvious propaganda - which it is ...

States like Somalia are famous for identifying with their governments, of course.

Slava Somalia. May they ward off the little special military operation happening over there.

No no the appropriate reaction is to downplay a century of consistent American imperialism and international corpse-production and revert to the State...

You have a strange notion of outrage. But then, you are addicted to me.

It's always good fun too to remember why the US was in Somalia last time: Those oil fields are of course still around. So yeah, more dead American sol...

I just like the implication that displaying a literal other country's flag implies American support. It is a wonderful encapsulation of imperialist ar...

Well that was a war on terror conducted by the French. Who deserved every dead Frenchman killed by an Algerian.

Imagine if someone took seriously the idea that the Russian invasion is OK because the people they invaded are happy to see Russian troops in Ukraine....

I know quite well what flags mean. I just figured it'd be less important than supporting genocidal regimes. But I know you've got a thing for colors. ...

What's that? You're selective about which murderous scum you like to flag-wave for? Yeah, I thought so. And considering those who fly the other flag a...

Hey you probably shouldn't express your rape fantasies in public. And why 'their women'? There are plenty of independent women Nazis that don't need t...

Well we should kill all Nazis everywhere, and probably all their sympathizers and PR men too, and while it's clear that Putin isn't the guy for the jo...

Thanks Toby - I appreciate it.

Mm, but that's why I've argued that the employer/employee distinction follows from, or arises under the conditions in which, capitalism has already be...

Talk of "reading into"... Perhaps you can quote where I said that of your post? Except I don't have any special insight. My sources are fucking TIME m...

So no answer then. OK.

Sure. What is the connection between this?: And you being wrong about this?: Which is what I was responding to.

Still not answering my question. (And no, you didn't claim capitalism is an abstract matter, but that is what your claim comes down to; in any case it...

Then no doubt you can spell out the connection between treating capitalism wrongly as an abstract matter of profit growth and two paragraphs of wallow...

I'm not out to "contradict" what you said, I'm out to dispute the frankly infantile framing of what you said. Can you imagine a state department lacke...

Time Magazine in Janurary 2021: https://time.com/5926750/azov-far-right-movement-facebook/ Propagandized fucking morons in March 2022: "lol Nazis in U...

Ah yes, the infant-won't-go-to-bed theory of international politics. Nevermind that the US activtely encouraged and spurred on this war, and frankly c...

Last I checked this is exactly what Russia has claimed of Ukraine. But sure, pick your propaganda as you see fit for the side of the imperial murderer...

Wow cool you can quote a year old article maybe narrow your Google searches to the last 24 hours and you can offer me some amateur analysis about more...

Well the US state department has not released a statement condemning the war in Somalia, so our friends here don't have any script to follow. It's not...

Also I stand with Somalia against the US special military operation although probably those here who like to run cover for Nazis don't have much to sa...

This Putin propaganda? https://i.ibb.co/k3ggKz3/ukr.jpg Or did this extensive Western media coverage of Nazis in Ukraine retroactively become Putin pr...

Russia: If NATO keeps moving East we will probably use violence NATO: moves East. Russia: Uses violence. NATO apologists: Oh no the only solution to t...

I know very well when you fabricate completely incredulous trash out of nowhere. I've seen it so much I'm practically an expert. Like: the West is ver...

Yeah, NATO is "not likely to have planned" for the literal reason for their entire existence. Uh huh. At least make the things you pull out of the sky...

None of this has to do with states investing in private enterprise. It has to do with the state bailing out private enterprises when then fail of thei...

Hmm, but without eliminating or curtailing the private property form, are we eliminating capitalists, or expanding the pool of capitalists such that e...

I think such discussions have their place, but are they ultimately consequences of capitalism. Yet people cannot even get their head around basic prin...

There is nothing socialist about states taking on private risk. The risk being taken on is that of corporations, without any concomitant control; owne...

All of this is wrong. People do not live under "concepts". People live in realities, of which capitalism is one. If you keep trying to understand capi...

I don't know what you are talking about.

I'm not concerned with 'capitalism in the ideal sense'. A red herring, ignorable forever.
