Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the whole critique of centralization is that its inefficient, ineffective, and unresponsive to peoples needs?

Like as capitalism is becoming more monopolistic, its becoming increasingly bad at delivering goods that people actually want and just becomes better at supressing and controling them. You know the same critisism thats pointed at autoritarian communism.

I don't think this is the W you think it is.

There are plenty of known religions that share no significant similarity with Sumerian beliefs, ie basically every First Nation/Native American religious system. People have been in the Americas longer than Sumer existed.

And thats just stuff I'm even vaugely familiar with. I'd wager 0% of Subsaharan African religions, aborigional, and probably most Asian religious beliefs don't have any Sumerian influence.

Plenty of people rooted for the Lions and they wore brown bags over their heads.

Trump lost and people are still buying flags and hats.

I think we'll be stuck with this cult for awhile.

I wouldn't be so confident that his support will wane. People love a martyr and thats what hes protraying himself as.

All that isnt to say he shouldn't be prosecuted, but I'd expect his support to jump in the short term.

They're part of multiple mutual defense treaties, including just being part of the EU. If Russia continues to be agressive, this could well be required.

Idk man, theres not too much debate on who to vote for. There's a clear lesser evil and theres an avowed fascist. The quoted paragraph just reaffirms what his one sentence says, that voting isn't sufficient.

I like the pamphet. I think it hits most everything important. If you only vote and the entirety of your efforts are spent on electoralism and not direct action, its a lot if wasted time. But if you cant even take 20 mins to vote every 2 years, or worse you're advocating people who aren't fascist sit it out, you need to rethink what you're doing.

Ultimately, there’s no reason the strategies of voting and direct action can’t both be applied together. One does not cancel the other out.

It's like you didn't even look at your own pamphlet. It backs up his exact statement.

Given that this is what their lawyers have agreed to, it would be weird for an appeal.

Friendly fire was half the fun of the first game.
