"Blot out the memory of Amalek!"

I wish they actually did so they would finally stfu about it.

My hope is every time shit like this happens, every time the liberal is forced to remove their mask, it converts some liberals over to socialists, communists, or anarchists.

It will also convert some liberals into fascists until there's nothing left but fascists and socialists. This is what heightening the contradictions mean.

Thesis: "We got 'im." - Reuters

Antithesis: Khamenei's Twitter has started posting again.

Synthesis: Khamenei is posting from beyond the grave.

we don’t have enough activity for a thriving community on our own, so we have to pick-and-choose who we federate with. Too closed and the community dies.

sucks to suck

turning it into a slogan like that, while catchy

Nobody's treating it anything more than a slogan. Slogans should not be expected to be as rigorously thought out as political lines. That's for manifestos and programmes.

The PLAN is just going to form a blockade surrounding Taiwan and watch Taiwanese society collapse. This is what happens when 98% of your energy has to be imported.

The essay is nothing more than a polemic in an ever-expanding pile of polemics. I think people fall into a trap of trying to find the best argued polemic when as a science, the principle criterion should be first and foremost how well the science can predict phenomena. "China is capitalist" means that you can say "a capitalist state responds to A, B, and C with X, Y, and Z, and since China is a capitalist state facing A, B, and C, it will respond with X, Y, and Z." Ditto for "China is socialist," "China is fascist," "China is authoritarian," or whatever other label you want to stick to China.

Polemics will often have arguments in the form "China responded to A, B, and C with X, Y, and Z, and since a state that responds to A, B, and C with X, Y, and Z is [adjective], China is [adjective]," but they almost always do it after the fact. It's no different from some astrologist pulling something out of their ass to explain why a relationship failed. You know, the asspull explanation would've been a lot more helpful before the relationship happened. Curious how their actual predictions seem to always either be wrong or be vague enough that they can wiggle their way out of getting called out for being wrong.

Fundamentally, people do not take the idea of the immortal science as a science seriously. The thing about science, the only reason why people even care about science in the first place, is its ability to explain and predict phenomena. Predicting phenomena is key. It's why meteorology replaced killing birds and divining predictions based on their mangled corpses or sticking sticks in the grounds and somehow predicting weather with them. The reason why people value astronomy over astrology is the science of astronomy can be used to predict solar ellipses, used to predict when the number of solar flares will go up, and so on. Meanwhile, astrology doesn't predict anything. It may offer some kind of explanation of human behavior, but it certainly can't predict how people would behave. At best, it offers explanation to explain shit after it had already happened. Virtually all polemics are of this character.

It doesn't smell like cat piss or the piss of any kind of animal lol.

have all the charisma of a hemorrhoid

Good thing for Vance Gruesome Newsome is even less charismatic than a hemorrhoid. As they say, you don't have to be good. You just have to be better than the competition.

I'll use an example:

If the subtotal is $37.58 after taxes, just put -$37.58 for tips. Since the total is just subtotal + tips, 37.58 + -37.58 = $0.00.
