  1. he's talking about reality. If u've never picked up a book, or gone to school and paid attention there, u wouldn't know, soi guess u r part of the illiterati (illiterate) /ignorami which is a thing during populist times.

  2.  @JayMaverick  ain't no way GPT did it. The whole problem w/ AI is that it can't grasp themes at all!

  3.  @Barbara-jn2gw  yes, i'm a yank, middle aged, and it is slowly happening in real time, definitely. A a pseudo-militarization/paramilitarization of society, lawlessness that literally started in my medium sized city from the summer of '16 on! Literally in lockstep with the rise of Trumpism and brazen or the magnitude of violent type crimes has stayed too high (not crime rates, which are stable to lower over time, but the magntiude of how violent each crime is, e.g. buglarly ,how violent is each buglary. Etc. these are the realities that ppl are aware of, they see with their own eyes on the news and they hear from friends. Even in my tiny social world, someone was brutalized while in a safe area near a university, bcuz the robbers assumed an asian female alone would have cash, which she unfortunately did.

  4.  @ВіталійПилипенко-р2з  fwiw, Taiwan also makes core chips for many industries and makes most of the most sophisticated types of chips on earth, so it has a monopoly on particular types, massive monopoly.

  5.  @blitzz4741  lol. Taiwan is not american territory in any sense whatsoever!

  6. have u ever lived in poverty? And do u know much about the russian persona? Meaning is the whole problem-o!

  7. yep. And anything over 5% tarriffs are profoundly negative for the economy and for how capital flows and markets work. Ruinous to small medium american biz. So the new GOP is actually statist, totalitarian and old-style communist.

  8. im an american and can promise almost that if oil goes up, the US economy will tank which will make our civil disorder explode. (i'm middle aged and i have always had my finger on my society's pulse, including in various parts of society.

  9.  @RegebroRepairs  of course there isn't nearly enough gold to go around to do that.

  10. ever heard of just living well? Being avaristic is what you sound like.

  11. yep! the food alone is massive, partly bcuz american produiced food over past fifteen years has skyrocketd in price due to the rigged domestic b.s. or transportation costs. We're gonna suffer literally when this 25% hit comes as soon as next week, ffs! Amazon canned food is all from there, as is most canned food in northern states. Prices in past two weeks on amazon food are massively up. DJT is not a chess player and is a useless idjit

  12. nope. There's a limit to that even in Russiye
    1
  13. yes, very interesting Can u explain what u mean about Ivana's muse???
    1
  14. that's right. The more we get exposed to the intentional disinfo and contradictory nonsense by the likes of Orban, DJT, Netyyahoo, et al, the more our fair minds get warped. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM! let alone the russians. There are experts who do that FOR US, like Silicon Curtain channel guy, and others who have been interviewed by him. (He and those listen/watch Russian propaganda to let us know what they're spinning sometimes).
    1
  15. wow, not surprised. Indeed, Ru/zuck/DJT and elon et al are afraid americans will wake up.

  16. u ever read the basics on the oil mkts? Fgs man, crack an article before making patently uninformed stmts that the tiny marginal extra drilling would affect supply! The numbers are so tiny u'll be stunned. Look it up on google, ffs!

  17. well if it was resting on shoulders of our USA, which is partly true at least, it's crucial that the western world becomes more diversified in collective defense against the world's first true axis power, Crink/clink nations. We have no choice now, as we can see over the past decade.
    1
  18. bravo! yes, we must, including us yanks here in the U.S., be ready for mass NV civil disobedience of various types in various contexts, namely now re the presidential administration next year.!
    1
  19. if u are american, let's turn this into the rage i feel as a middle aged american man. I dn't have encumbrances and will be fighting against this scourge here in the US until it is over. I know there are at least 10M to 30Mish who will assist w/ mass protests, NV civil disobedience that unlike the Vietnam protests will shut this economy down for real, bcuz it's a real time logistics-sensitive economy. WE WILL SHUT IT DOWN! This is coming from me an actual rule -of-law and law and order type. There is no alternative. !!!!!!

  20.  @johnthornton2075  yep. IF Ukraine wants to continue, sure. If not, then very aggressive negotiations with UKR and Ru need to happen with US westerners being aggressive about it, toward RU obviously. WE have the leverage against RU
    1
  21.  @michaelstiller2282  u are blending politics with actual law-justice. They are not identical at all and are combined in reality in a deeply complex way that only intelligent ppl can orchestrate well, oftentimes winning the hearts and minds of the ppl even when the opposing side is operating in bad-faith like today's neoreactionary populist RW is doing now increasingly over the past six years

  22.  @ceb1970  more than a stain we've had almost 5-8 years of demographic damaging impact from Trumpism, and this will become apparent over the next decade. It's extraordinarily disruptive and covid period showed that starkly. Socioeconoimcally there wil never be common cause in reality, for many years to come, and thats a shame, and that was also how the Democrats had victories in the past. Dark days for us now but we have to resist like the future for our families/bloodlines is at stake bcuz it is.

  23. yah like in the '00's when many ppl told us that Bush's flirting w/ fascism was a real trend. Go figure!

  24.  @AngusAbbott-qf8xm  deeply soiled.

  25. it's nonsensical. Ukr had previously been under extreme hostile influence politically!i If u dn't understand what that entails, ie how harassment of a violent type, and incentives and disincentives work by pathologically bent and deeply well organized aggressive enemy, who has a 1M personnel-staffed intell/propaganda/services set of insituttions JUST to do surveillance and operations toward the outside world, then u just are missing THE WHOLE PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. is this you doing your part in trying to destroy the epistimology of truth? lol. Ru is literally trying to destroy a nation/ppl of 45M which is an actual european ppl, unlike the russians who never had even slight exposure to sophisticated ppl's and tribes going way back, that Ukrainians did! Ru IS giong to be demilitarized at some point in the next 10-20 years, mark my words. I've studied a lot about history and behavioral sci's interface. Tick..tock..

  27. yes that IS what the DJT Admin is attemping to do to our previously smoothest running economy on the planet in the past four years and overall past 80 years. The new-right is a radical socially-subversive movement which has used increasing levels of implied violence and is now using classic techniques of autocrats to corrupt the system itself. It's hard for us americans to understand quickly bcuz we've literally never been assaulted like this. We are waking up day by day now. Some keen american minds in the know are saying that within a few months, something will give way or there will be something like civil war. As a middle aged very calm american, i dn't disagree. Within weeks there could be constitutional crisis and then if the Admin does not back down, a coup or what will legally be a couter-coup.

  28. brilliant and fascinating! Wonder why u left out Japan?

  29.  @antonlevkovsky1667  spoken like a true thug. Problem is this is big boy stuff and RU is a b.s. ing badfaith operator since at least 75 years ago. Time's up, and Ru really is gonna lose far more power overall than it has even conceived of losing, if it does not withdraw soon from most parts of Ukr. This is a fact. It is NOT negotiable. That's bcuz Ru signed agreements that saying it respected other countries etc. This naked aggression & attempt to torture a country of over 40M citizens into submission will not work BCUZ these Ukrainians are europeans who want to be free, and we other european-origin folks will NOT LET russian hordes subjugate them in regressive pathetic anti-enlightenment ignorant hellscape of existence. Got it Levkovzzki? U yourself will likely ultimately lose every single thing and probably person, u love! Good luck!

  30.  @antonlevkovsky1667  Georgian situation was a blip of a fraction of nothing, vs the Ukr annhilation war. Ru ...IS going to be ultimately contained by either Ukrianians or Ukr plus a coalition of the willing obviously including the US airforce and navy. These are the frigign facts that Ru better start grokking, or it will lose far more than it's ever lost, ie it will have the clock turned back on it to it's anthropology of roughly the 1500's maybe? Maybe even 1300's. This is no joke. Big history is clearly playing out now, solely due to the mania of the greed of russian new-found decadent wealth during Putin's rule (soley due to the high price of oil since 2004 till today). Ru...is cooked, going forward. Those of us who had a study a lot of economics and political economics, know this for sure.

  31. nice reminder that Kalinin is now undefended by Ru due to troops being needed elsewhere, lol! Kalinin will be gone in under a day if Ru makes one lil bitty wrong move. Dn't even think about it, muthaRusha!

  32.  @waynesworldofsci-tech  actually mostly Ukrainian immigrants to Canuckia (canada), not actual 'russians'.

  33. yep, AND /but the superior state of mind has no feelings re numbers, simply learns to maximize the total count of whatever we need to do/gain/accomplish. Let the idjits flounder with their 'luck'. The most mediocre and disrespectful/ungrateful person i've ever been involved with had one email address with lucky in it. I should have known.

  34.  @Raymond-n9k8r  not funny really; simply makes sense bcuz true autocrats are same
    1
  35.  @Notrusbot  whoa! If that's the case, then how did Ukr end up to be the one who made the ultimate high-engineering equipment for the Ru Mir space module: they made the auto-docking system bcuz it was so sophisticated that NO russian co had the capability to make it!!!!! It was thus so expensive that Ru decided to not re-new it when it came time to do so. Ukr was always the deep brains of the Soviet industrial and military technology power, from all the research i've done including studying since the '1980's till now and in past three years spending over 20K hours on Ukr/russian stuff

  36. DJT doesn't give u impression that higher principles are really part of his char... yeah u can say that again, given he just pardoned the creator of Silkroad who not only created the world's only terrible dark site which had child porn, traficking, murder-for-hire, drugs which helped get Fentanyl to become a major biz which has killed so many ppl now, but he (albrecht) was even found guilty for 5X attempted murders via hitmen he tried to hire on his site! He was pardoned from his life sentence without possiblity of parole! That is the character of DJT, plus even worse technicaly i guess is he pardoned the two actual seditious conspiracist convicts , Tarrio and Rhodes. The US has entered a formal division of the actual population now, bcuz ppl will have no social choice but to choose a side and defend it. There will be social balkanization i believe, for the first time really, bcuz we all know that this 1500 ppl pardons will inspire the formation of serious paramilitary militias and their terrorist plans. I'm a middle aged american caucasian man who over time has spoken w/ ppl from all circles, and i predict we have some historic scale problems ahead and i'm deeply pissed and incensed about it, bcuz it's interferring with my life in a fundamental way.

  37.  @EconLessons  i'll have to look these up, thanks!~

  38. for the DJT insiders it's an extremist ideology, some call it 'soverigntist' or somesuch, related to a fantasy of the old world. Truly incompetelty insane, and based on a regressive social re-engineering domestically as well./ We normals will not tolerate it.

  42. have not been able to find a word like 'conspithic'. In latin, conspicit has a meaning, of 'he sees'.

  44. ? "greater genie coefficient"?? what does that mean, Mark? Magical thinking ?

  45.  @ENGRAINING  yeah it's a mixed bag of course. And yes, the pathetic russian and soviet mindset was propaganda pushing suffering which was part of the medieval-think of the russians and some other slavs like the Slovaks in particular.

  46.  @Pippie5555  understandably so,such a fine ppl too, you Danes (i know from meeting some of you!) We yanks will try damned hard to hold any stupid or aggressive moves by this idjit who has become our nominal president (not a legitimate president , per our constitution which expressbly prohibits anyone with any court demonstrated support for insurrection (three such cases were done/concluded) .

  50.  @JayMaverick  yep. We all knew this war was historic on a centuries-level scale when very early on, Switzerland changed tack for the first time in many centuries. The Swiss r likely privy to depth of intell/information that even the U.S. may not have, bcuz of the banking system in CH.
