I'm sure he can tell you himself but he wasn't defending it, just stating that using unchecked immigration to drive down (real) wages and force people into that system is a way for the banks to extract the value required to recoup their losses from that whole debacle and the inflation that followed -

I claimed that people who are fearmongering about women or minorities losing the right to vote are retarded because it'd require a constitutional amendment that would never succeed. -

he's talking more about rentier-capitalism where rent-seeking behaviour overrides productivity. instead of building things, existing powers take control of key assets and charge rent to use them.
the general population is kept in a state where they're effectively priced out of ownership so that those powers can profit off of the loans and rent on the things the average person needs or wants. -

It's proposed legislation. Any one who thinks all of this or even like some of it will be passed as it currently sits is a bit of an imbecile. THese are especially related to the direction a thinktank wants to go with the country, not like anything that's actually going to get done.
most of the more extreme policies aren't even popular with 'conservatives', let alone the general public.
good luck getting a majority of states to agree to a constitutional amendment restricting voting -

Originally posted by Kingoftoes How does US Navy control major trade routes?
The US navy has transitioned away from patrolling vessels such as destroyers in favor of nation-killers (aircraft carriers).
it's not so much about the composition of the fleet, it's more about the capability to protect exiting trade routes and deter competition - the threat is more important than the actual force for keeping the current system stable. it's why the US has such a huge problem with the Chinese Belt and Road programs; it offers an alternative for trade corridors that they cannot control. it's why they keep naval bases near almost all of the key shipping chokepoints you were talking about the other day.
Originally posted by Kingoftoes Partially in order for politicans to secure re-election?
maybe, but it was more because all of the key banking institutions at the time were involved. the 2008 crisis was mostly about big banks being able to offer mortgages to people who should have never qualified because they were able to launder the risk through insurance, reinsurance and investment schemes, so they eventually foreclosed and ended up holding massive amounts of real estate that were now worth nothing.
the problem could've been solved by allowing the banks to fail and the market to correct, but it would've destabilised the financial system so they had to find a way to bail them out.
the US DOJ famously refused to prosecute HSBC for massive corruption and working directly with the Mexan cartels for fear of what it'd do to international finance; HSBC's problems were way smaller and they're not even a US bank. -

2024-07-25 at 12:45 PM UTC in Stonks falling again2008 was never really resolved; they just kept ramping up quantitative easing (see: printing more money, increasing money supply) to push the problem into the future.
that working even as a stopgap (as far as I know, no real future solution was ever planned) relies on US and western control of the world financial system, its ability to resell its debts and control money flows by maintaining the sole reserve currency, and it's currently under siege on all fronts.
in short the world was kept in compliance by US/European-centred financialism, the petrodollar, and the US Navy controlling all of the major trade routes. as a result much of the west's economies were switched from production to financialism because j'ewish market sorcery is much easier than manufacturing, and it's going to be a very rude awakening when the rest of the world is no longer forced to participate in that captive market. -

Ayo the ukrainiggers are telling the truth for once
only when it's convenient. this is just PR to try and get ahead of Trump likely cutting the umbilical in favour of israel when he gets in.
they're still claiming 30k KIA and a favourable casualty ratio even after admitting that they're at a massive force disadvantage and accusing Russia of squandering manpower in 'meat waves' even though Syrski was an unpopular choice within the military exactly because he was known to use those tactics -

2024-07-24 at 7:07 PM UTC in Why is the Russian military the strongest in the world?
Originally posted by Speedy Parker On March 20, 2003 the Untied States military deployed across 2 continents, and ocean, and a sea. The then engaged the 6th largest standing army in the world. Just 65 days later on May 23, 2003 that army was officially dismantled.
On February 24, 2022 Russia deployed off the from their own front porch, as well as that of Belarus, into the neighbors yard against 22nd most powerful military at that time. In 882 days or 2 years, 5 months, 1 day Russia only controls 46,000 sq mi out of 233,062 sq mi. That is only 20% of the total territory of the Ukraine. The most Russia has every controlled was in March of 2022 when they controlled 63,000 sq mi or around 27% and that was reduced the following month to 44,000 sq mi or 19%.
These are just facts and you are free to draw your own conclusions. However it paints a pretty clear picture as far as I can tell.
1. '22nd most powerful' army is a particularly poor opinion, not a fact. prior to 2014 Ukraine had one of the most effective militaries in Europe, and after 2014 it was consistently armed and reorganised (for better or worse) by NATO.
2. trying to measure a conflict in terms of territory is a poor metric, especially in terms of attrition warfare.
3. how much territory does the US control in Afghanistan or Iraq after their militaries were 'dismantled'?
