That describes corporatism. It’s also a lot of words to be that wrong, honestly. That’s three times now.

Then we’ll have to find some other reason to back 74% of the World’s authoritarian regimes, located almost entirely in the Third World. Don’t act like race isn’t an issue here.

Exactly. Another way in which we deviate from international values.

We provide military aid, sales, or training (sometimes all three) to three quarters of the World’s authoritarian regimes. Our wars and those of our allies have killed around 2 million people since 2001, (some estimates are significantly higher, incorrectly in my view). You should see opinion polls in the Middle East…

Depends on the nation/tribe. Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek did so more than the Seminole for example. I think the case for reparations differs here.

Again, it’s a hypothetical, and likely an untrue one given the majority of the 80,000 deaths which did happen are the result of Libya losing control of its border. Obama and Biden got it wrong and acknowledge as much.

Right, but 74% is quite a large majority.

There isn’t a substantial difference between Ukrainian views and Russian views on such things, so the Ukrainians are not in any way worse for this.

Whether he wins or doesn’t, would I be terribly remiss to hope that he just, goes away for a while?

Israel is supposedly working on a plan to evacuate and provide citizenship to Ukrainian Jews, so I guess there must be some leeway/exemptions to the able-bodied men rule.

And do what with it? I’ve been hearing this one since the 90's.

Not on our watch. We prop up 74% of the World’s authoritarian regimes with military aid, sales, or training.

Depends

They lose their democratic rights, many of their freedoms, some will lose their lives. We’ve done plenty of the third these past twenty years. The first two don’t apply as much as they used to since the end of the Cold War, because nowadays we shore up existing authoritarian regimes (74% of them on Earth) rather than…

Yes, but he is wrong about influencers in the Gomez mold as opposed to the general influence of social media, (which wouldn’t be a controversial statement in the least). Kim Kardashian didn’t save the Armenians. Selena Gomez won’t help the Ukrainians. It’s of a piece with a lot of other tired and asinine opinions…

If you begin a sentence like that it’s very important that what follows isn’t badly wrong.

Why?

Major request for a source for any of these claims please. Seriously.

Iran has a shitton of historical sites worth seeing. Saudi Arabia’s where you won’t get anything worth seeing.
