Once again, both parties represent the interests of the ruling class in American society which is the capital owning class. This is precisely what the study shows. This has absolutely nothing to do with democrats or republicans. The divisio

I was pointing out the absurdity of your claim that people living in a country would have worse understanding of how their own country works than an outsider. I'm sorry your porcelain ego was bruised in the process.

It's utterly dishonest to argue that NATO is a defensive alliance in the face of the fact that NATO has been regularly invading countries for many decades. Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria are just a few examples.

Please learn what ad hominem means if you're going to use it. Nowhere am I suggesting that your argument is wrong because of your character flaws. I've explained why it's wrong on its own merits.

The study literally concludes that regardless of what party is in power, it's the interests of the oligarchs that take precedence. Whenever there is a difference of the opinion between the masses and the oligarchs then the oligarchs ty

Once you actually read it then you'll find out that it does: > What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond pr

For anyone else following along, I'll just note that they don't make any substantive counterpoint when provided with the evidence, and just made vague claims that evidently my sources "don't support his assertions".

If providing actual sources and concrete examples to back my arguments isn't convincing anyone, that really shows how lost Americans are. I've literally linked you Harvard studies in the reply. You're the one doing the whole

Democracy isn't about having more parties, it's about having a government that represents the working majority. China has settled on a political path which is communism, this is why there are communist parties in China, while in U

You're trying to claim that people in China can't understand whether their government works for them or not. This is a profoundly absurd claim. The fact that you don't understand that is absolutely shocking. Here's a Har

Ah yes, censorship makes people unable to see whether their lives are good or not. A real genius argument you've mustered here. You should also let people like Manning and Assange know that they shouldn't be worried about being se

Uyghurs in China certainly enjoy a lot better lives than indigenous people in US do. Meanwhile, you appear to be confusing your ability to scream into the void with being an actual stakeholder in the political decision making process. And o

Seems to me that it's far more likely that you are the one who is misinformed as opposed to people living in China. Not sure what this lack of political chatter that you allude to is to be honest. Anybody who actually follows politics

There is plenty of government censorship happening in US as well. Entire books have been written on this subject. I'm not aware of any country that doesn't have censorship in practice. I think the idea that people living in a coun

This may shock you, but plenty of western countries don't have term limits. Merkel had a longer term than Xi for example, and nobody was screaming that Germany turned into a dictatorship as I recall. Ultimately, a democracy is a govern

Yeah, what do people who actually live in China know about their own country. Some white dude from America who couldn't find China on a map surely knows better. Peak chauvinism here my friend.

I'm not sure where you get this notion that China is not a democratic country. First, people who actually live in China seem to disagree with you. In fact, far more people in China think that their country is more democratic than Ameri

Um. This would not seem to be relevant only if you didn't bother reading the article in the submission. Once you do, you'll notice the following example there: After some searching I found manicmaniac/sips-js-api which is the

I agree that it's possible to write dense code that's hard to read with Clojure, but that is true in any language. I've seen plenty of Java codebases that I couldn't make heads or tails of. As you point out, well written

Could you elaborate on that. Why do you find s-exp syntax more tedious to read than other types of syntax?
597.
by yogthos 4y ago
It's really hard for me to see any justifications for a syntax that's not based around s-expressions. The benefits of being able to trivially transform any code as data and have powerful structural editing facilities outweigh any

I've been working with Clojure for the past decade, and it's still the most enjoyable development experience I've had. Once you experience using an interactive workflow where you can see the results from the code you're

That's not how this works at all. You produce a certain amount of value that the business appropriates, and then you get paid a small portion of the value your produce as your salary. That's why it's the business owner who be
