It'd be a little harder to make stuff up if they were more open and transparent to journalists. For some reason they really don't want journalists to be able to travel and report freely though.

That's utter nonsense. A gift only counts if you make it home with the gift? Where did you come up with that?

Considering Russia's past performance in naval warfare in the Pacific, we're probably better off without them.

This may be a controversial take, but maybe we shouldn't surveil children in bathrooms full stop.

It's just people not finishing videos. Buffered but never played. In aggregate it adds up to a lot.

No, if you're low income and don't get healthcare through your employer it's pretty fucking awesome compared to what came before it, which was "oh, well you see the hospital exit there? Keep going until you hit the gutter and die there kthnx bye. Oh, you have insurance? Well your provider says this is a pre-existing condition, so refer to my original statement."

The subsidies on the ACA marketplace make insurance feasible, and the restrictions on pre-existing conditions make it actually useful. Even after being gutted.

You're spreading misinformation that could legitimately cause people harm by not seeking out coverage through Obamacare. Could it be better? Of course.

Shitposting related to military matters as far as I can tell.

This. Leftist candidates won't be viable until far right candidates aren't. We're choosing between "I'll be a dictator" vs "democracy will continue" and the fascist is a likely outcome. The window has to move left to "democracy will continue" vs "maybe we can make things better". If you're holding out for a communist to be elected, that ain't happening in our lifetime. The revolution is not coming. Revolution only comes when life is utterly intolerable and the capitalists know better than to let that happen.

Our only real hope is to shift things that way over generations.

he could become somekind if whale killer martyr

Well that's just as easily solved by more killing. There can't be more than like 20 people in the country that have a massive boner for murdering whales.

IQs have been steadily increasing. Your premise is flawed.
