It seems the West has found the perfect solution. Allow protests as long as they don't become dangerous, but keep waging wars without any compromise. People (some of them at least) will vote either way, and you can now claim to be bett

Facts simply disagree with you. The USA took part in (too) many bloody wars and invasions since WWII. After Iraq, one would have hoped Americans finally learnt the lesson, yet Biden was voted president, after backing the invasions of Afghan

Typical run of the mill USAer mindset. Ah yes, we are "better" than them, so our problems don't really exist.

The entire economy is based on competition; if we agree that cooperation beats competition for the common good, then we have much larger systemic changes to do before we get to sports.

This is absolutely not true for most countries; not everyone can just increase their debt mindlessly like the US does. My country, for example, has a budget and taxes make 90% of it. That means if we get more money through taxes, we can spe

There's always someone trying to spin capitalism problems into government problems. No, taxes are not the cause of inequality. If nothing, taxes are one of the few tools we have to reduce it.

The problem with Trellis is that it insists on generating textures that are already illuminated. Is there a way to exclude lighting?

It's always the same: rules for thee, not for me. Most of the accusations western countries make are just projections in reality.

Because it's too easy like this. Who's checking the national intelligence agency? Otherwise, whenever something they don't like comes up, they can pull out another document to declassify. It's basically a cheap tool for

And yet, my comments and posts can reach thousands of viewers with very little effort. There's no way I could do that with traditional media.

Yeah that works great if you don't care about the truth. I do care, and I live within NATO borders, where NATO propaganda is incredibly pervasive and much stronger than any other propaganda from outside can be.

So he won with a campaign run at zero cost by volunteers? Now I understand why they won't allow him to win. It would set a dangerous precedent that you can run and win a campaign without multi-millionaire sponsorships from lobbies.

And yet, even the USA imported 27% of its uranium from Russia until last year.

And who's Europe largest and closest supplier of Uranium? You can't change geography, Europe doesn't have raw resources, Russia has tons of them. We're destined to have a close commercial relationship.

I don't buy it. People aren't that easily influenceable; they are just extremely tired from decades of failed liberal policies and out of alternatives. The populist right-wing wins we're seeing all over the world are the expr

Just read the room, the far-right is winning across all of Europe, not just in Romania. It'd be more extraordinary if the left won the elections.

Do you take it that Elena Lasconi voted for Meloni as well? Because she's stated that the court ruling is "illegal" and "immoral".
