It's interesting to think about how much money is spent on advertising every election cycle, and how much that influences the outcome of the election. I'd be curious to see analysis of election spend vs outcomes. Bloomberg's

Moby Dick seems to be very love-it-or-hate-it. Some people can't make it through two pages; some people can't put it down once they start.

So to be extremely clear, you don’t consider Laos to be socialist?

>This is what you get when you take the ideal marxist socialism AND mix in the actual human nature. That's quite an interesting take. So to you, China and Laos aren't socialist?

Is every attempt at socialism the same to you? Do you not see a meaningful difference between Laos and the Soviet Union? Or China and the Soviet Union?

I wasn't talking about the Soviet Union, I don't think. Soviet Union != Socialism The government in China isn't the same as the government in Vietnam isn't the same as the government in Cuba. I don't know how close

No, I mean a superficial similarity. The ideological aspect drives all aspects of government. Did you come to the understanding you have through careful consideration and thought? Are you open to re-consideration of the ideas you have about

You're pointing at a superficial similarity while ignoring the serious ideological differences. Fascism comes with a deeply stratified class hierarchy. Collective ownership in the socialist sense is incompatible with this.

No, you are not reading correctly. The 60% number is the percentage of the budget, not the staff member's allocated time. However, what do we know about the duties of this staff member? $150k isn't a very high salary for an experi

I understand being cautious, but this extension is featured in the chrome store and has quite a few users and only requests access to youtube sites. Not exactly fly-by-night...

The current Chinese government has demonstrated a better capacity for long term planning than any European or North American country. It's not like it's a secret, either. Their plans are public. You can read them, every five years

Alex Jones defamed families by lying about the details of their children's deaths on his internet show. Courts have decided that his actions count as defamation. Why did you bring him up here? Do you think his being punished for profit

You missed the point, which is that many roads that used to be easily crossable roads are now 4-8 lane stroads. Yes, people didn't let their kids play near freeways in the past. But now a much larger number of streets are freeway-style
