the extremists in Israel won’t hesitate to attack them

Who had an US vs Israel war on their bingo cards? We’re reaching levels of idiotic pointless human suffering that shouldn’t be possible.

Reducing CIA headcount for example. But also, fracturing US alliances, stopping USAID, removing the US from international agreements that it could use as diplomatic soft power leverage, and just being a general jackass.

General strikes usually happen when people realize that they won’t be able to keep doing that.

It’s not America so we can use real slave labor instead of illegal immigrants

As if slavery was illegal in America. Check prison labour.

Point taken.

Just don’t pay them, get them arrested and lease them back from the prisons. Slavery is legal in the US after all.

He’s eroding the US’ capability to coup and extract wealth from other countries. Trump is squandering all the power they built up on posturing and bullshit.

I get it, though your calculations are a bit off, the Trinidad’s total throw comes off as a bit more, around 1150 kg, not 684 kg as you suggested.

That said, I was going by spectacular explosions, or amount of boom. If it’s about how much shit you can throw at an enemy, the recently sunk Moskva could launch 76000 kg of explosives and steel at you in a single volley (if operated by someone not as completely inept as the Russian Navy). In fact, rocket artillery is so OP from this perspective that a single old Katyusha could throw more than 500 kg at you, so the Missouri is worth around 1.2 shitty technical trucks with MLRS batteries strapped to them per cannon.

Yeah and the Iowa would be powerless against a sustained modern ASM volley. But still, it would look cool.

If President Musk allows it

It is astonishing isn’t it? Why does a Dem Congressman just walk into the OPM with an official entourage, tear the Musk server out of the wall, and tell the guy to stuff it for example? Or something? Why does Musk have more power than elected officials?

I thought my country’s opposition is ineffectual, but this is a new level of idiocy.

The CIA will just become even sketchier.

I think it’s not that far fetched to presume the CIA has major political power within the US, more than the EPA at least. If someone, they know how to assassinate a president or a billionaire and make it look like an accident.

They kinda do like to play world secret police though.

Fire all black people and somehow fault them for the whole thing.

At least if the rest of the country does not show solidarity and doesn’t organize a general strike - which is illegal by the way.

I’d urge you to compare systems by comparing other factors as well. We know communism produced Stalin, but it produced Stalin as an alternative to the Tsars, who were not much better. The Chinese Empire was also not famous for its humanitarian values. We don’t know how Socialist America would look like because it’s never happened.

I’m not here to advocate for anything, to be honest I’m on the side of “let’s solve actual fucking problems before arguing ideology”, but I feel comparing the USSR to the US is a stupid comparison.

I’m not trying to argue the point of “capitalism good or bad”, I just feel you misunderstood the posts you linked.

The first one does not say that misogyny in general is begotten by capitalism, just that the current problems that today’s misogynists experience and attribute to women and feminism today are actually caused by today’s ruling class under capitalism.

An the second one faults capitalism for enabling nazism, it does not say “it’s not the fascists fault”, but that “capitalists are fascists with the mask not yet fully off”.

All I’m saying it’s different arguments.

In Hungary, the country of the far left Orbán quasi-dictatorship, the tax filing process is if you are an employee, in May you go to the website and click okay if you’re happy with it. If you forget, it’s just an implied acceptance of what you’ve seen, so most people never do anything and some don’t even know how to.

Very hard to put tariffs on that. They would need to be taxed, as no goods really cross the border with them.

If the billing company is Canadian, if they have something like “AWS Canada”, then I guess not.

The point of the book is not to blow shit up, but to gum the system up with small actions that have a minimal risk. Then organize more people around doing the same.
