    I have a simple policy on this… I let people define their own terms. I just do not really like debates about semantics enough… Plus I believe especially that If I am not X, I do not have that much of a right to define what X is or isn’t. I only safeguard against absurdities.

    In terms of this, though, I am sympathetic to the idea that the USSR, Communist China, Communist Vietnam, etc., were Communist since many sincere people attempted to make Communism work there.

    Is Communism different from socialism? Certainly. And I respect those differences. But it also makes sense to come to conclusions based off of the extreme socialist models about socialism, IMO.

    To be entirely fair, it didn’t work out that way in the USSR or China very well at the lows of communism, and it was as they eased up and allowed less communistic policies that the situation improved.








  • I agree that others need to be held accountable - this absolutely showed how broken the system was, from start to finish. And I also would agree that the mother may have… l ost some of her culpability through her drug addiction that likely drove her mad, and probably made her even think all manner of fucked up shit about tough love, how to mother, etc.

    I would be surprised if the mother did not also have a shit home life.

    Nonetheless… You kill kids? Treat kids like this? Yeah, I do not feel safe with you wandering around society, so let’s not have her out on the streets ever again.

    And let’s reform the system… If kids look like they may be physically abused like that at all, th ey just have to be put into a safe place every damned time. There’s too many horrifying stories like this.









  • It’s odd because they have released statements which have talked about potentially removing all the people from Gaza via a single humanitrian camp at Rafah, but then Bibi the Butcher tries to talk about how it is going to be completely different:

    Earlier on Thursday, Netanyahu denied Israel had any intentions of permanently controlling Gaza.

    “We don’t want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter,” he told Fox News before the security cabinet session.

    “We don’t want to govern it. We don’t want to be there as a governing body.”

    He said that Israel intended to hand over the Strip to a coalition of Arab forces that would govern it.

    Netanyahu insisted that the full takeover of Gaza is necessary to eliminate Hamas.

    In a statement, Hamas slammed Netanyahu’s remarks about full military control of Gaza, calling it “a coup” as faltering ceasefire negotiations continue.

    They leave a lot of wiggle room to make it sound like it’s not the end for them.

    Yes, I agree with your assessment.

    And it is fine - these people can downvote… Let them. Yes, it is kind of annoying, particularly when you trigger someone and then all of your posts with little traction get systematically downvoted, lol. But it’s fine.

    Such is life.


  • They actually do stuff like offer financial support and places to stay, offer to adopt children, and I think at one point it wasn’t unheard of for them to give $10,000+ to people who didn’t abort.

    Obviously, this varies wildly based on locale, and I am sure that some amount of them have acted foolishly.

    But it is the case that any maniac who attacks senior citizens like this is deranged and not safe to have out in public until they have been rehabilitated.



  • But lately she has made a number of missteps - being seen apparently ignoring and even slapping her President husband.

    Now it can be revealed that her recent discomfort in the public eye is informed by a losing battle against a small army of trolls and conspiracy theorists which has driven her to despair.

    The online abuse of the 72-year-old wife of President Emmanuel Macron, 47, is understood to have ‘intensified significantly’ in recent days.

    The cue for this was a shock court ruling at which judges effectively sanctioned outlandish claims including that she was ‘born a man’ and that she had ‘sexually abused’ her future husband when he was a boy.

    Ms Macron had hoped that the defamation case would finally bring an end to her years of torment by online trolls - but instead it has unleashed a new wave of abuse.

    And Ms Macron is ‘absolutely devastated’ by last week’s Paris Appeal Court ruling, sources have told us.

    That cast exonerated two of her biggest critics, Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and blogger Natacha Rey, 49.

    I once had a lot of these but, over time, I’ve learned that I am free on my own… a self-contained unit… I am ready to compromise with anyone, and if it is just not looking like we have a good time with one another, I just don’t spend time with them. No hard feelings or anything.

    I’m married with a kid so… all of my negotiating is over, lol.

    Oh yeah, he was there.

    We know that Hawking was once pictured in several photographs during a visit to Epstein’s private Caribbean in early 2006, before the financier was first charged not long after in the same year. In the photographs, which emerged in 2015, the scientist can be seen at a barbecue on Little St James, taking a boat cruise and a submarine tour off the island’s sea bed.

    Hawking was among 21 high-profile scientists attending a conference on gravity funded by Epstein at the Ritz-Carlton hotel on neighboring island St Thomas in March 2006. Other scientists attending the conference accepted Epstein’s offer to visit the now-infamous island, where Epstein is known to have taken underage girls for sex.
