I mean yes, I love airshows, but there’s something about a mass celebration of these machines of death where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees gives ick in a way that normal airshows, even with all the military recruitment and propaganda don’t.

It doesn’t even apply to all flyovers, sometimes it’s like F-14s or Chinooks or WWII era planes where the message isn’t so dark.

Does anyone else also fly bombers and fighter jets over stadiums at the start of a game? Do you take 2-5 minutes to honor some guys in the military during half time?

A cubic centimeter is ~150th of a modern nuclear weapon’s core. U-235 production accounts for every single gram, plutonium is even stricter.

I literally listed countries where you wouldn’t be meaningfully contributing to the system.

Periphery countries still contribute to the system; the US doesn’t have military bases in most of those countries by happenstance, but because keeping them in that position benefits the bourgeoisie.

To be clear, the answer isn’t to say everything is futile and hopeless, it’s to participate in organizations which don’t contribute to the system and build duel power within these countries, or just move to non-capitalist countries.

They do increase the monetary supply though, in 2008 it was .9 trillion, in 2020 it was 6.4T, and now it’s 5.6T.

Turns out inflation doesn’t quite work the way most economics courses teach. That may be related to the way billionaires fund a lot of university’s economics departments.

stop working for those billionaires

There is only a few countries you can move to that allows you to not contribute to those billionaires.

I’m not saying that fleeing the US isn’t a good idea.

That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone.

Not really; the federal government prints money; they don’t tax you to fund programs, they tax you to reduce the monetary supply.

State governments do have to be funded though.

I am not talking about taxes, I am talking about the profit the capitalists make off your labor. The trillion dollar media empire OP is talking about, Fox News, CNN, Reddit, twitter, etc aren’t funded by your taxes, though they are subservient to the state department.

Not to say that dodging federal taxes isn’t either good or neutral, but the problem isn’t specific to this administration.

Where are you living that the wealth you create doesn’t end up in the hands of billionaires who then spend it on propaganda to convince you and others that that is just?

Cuba? Vietnam? Laos? China?

If you’re working for a wage while they reap the profit or subject to market forces they dictate, they’re taking your money.

Yup. It’s actually crazy how anticommunist propaganda creates so many people who are so confidently wrong about things that are so easy to investigate.

It’s called LTSC IoT, but it’s normal windows. Actually much better because it doesn’t automatically install so much bloat.

The guy you’re responding to is a liberal doing a piss poor parody of a ML.

You can’t do a good parody if you get angry before the punchline, or don’t understand the thing you’re parodying in the first place.

Lemmitors downvoting you because actually learning about the case conflicts with their “cHiNa BaD” circlejerk.

Windows 10 LTSC is supported until 2032, and is free to pirate.

Germany and the Soviets had agreed a boundary between the lands they both wanted to conquer

And France and Britain agreed to boundaries in Czechoslovakia. You wouldn’t call the Munich Agreement an alliance though.

They then exploited it when Operation Barbarossa commenced and continued pushing the soviets back. Finally, once that was done

Except the USSR ended up with the territory they had demanded at the start of the winter war, in response to Finland aligning with Nazi Germany. Finland’s willingness to switch sides was due to them seeing the writing on the wall.

The USSR never allied with the Germans, it was a non-aggression pact, made after the USSR failed to get Britain, France, or Poland to support them in invading Germany in response to Czechoslovakia. Instead Britain, France, and Poland signed the Munich Agreement, dividing Czechoslovakia between Germany and Poland.

To be clear, even after the invasion of Poland in 1940, the western powers intended to support Germany against the USSR, Britain even tried to send troops to support Germany’s ally, Finland in the winter war, after the invasion of Poland, and was only prevented when it ended too quickly.

Let me simplify this for you: Shooting communist protesters trying to reform the system is bad. Shooting fascists lynching people in the street is good and necessary.

Yeah, that is why it was justified to shoot protesters

If that’s what you think I’m suggesting, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

There were protesters protesting for a change in government, there were organizers setting up alternative structures to compensate for the government’s failure, there were also fascists lynching government officials in the streets.

Are you suggesting it would have been better to just let the fascists seize power?

A lot of governments built monuments to Nazi collaborteurs. That doesn’t mean jack shit

Oh lmao.
