Also, wtf is "virtue signaling"? Please define it.

Lol the USA is the literal 4th Reich. We took in the Nazis to fight communism. Call me crazy but I'm on board with business plot 2 being the JFK assassination, and everything working out on their favor from there.

That sounds horrible. I'm sorry. I know your little guy loved you very much.

I live in constant pain because of exposure to chemicals, physical, and mental trauma that the USG is just starting to recognize through the department of veterans affairs. I lay awake each night wishing that I would die and not wake up tomorrow because it will just be more pain. Or I think that I deserve the pain; it is my penance for commiting an uncountable amount of suffering on the world in exchange for a bit of cash. I feel like I sold my soul to the devil but all I received in return is the understanding that everything will get progressively worse for the vast majority of the people on this planet.

Basilla Irene is my favorite part of this. Einhard made up some shit about Charlemagne visiting Constantinople because Irene asked him to marry her. The letters probably did not exist and Charlemagne certainly didn't travel that far east. Irene ended up being couped by her nephews (or cousins, I'm still away from my library) to restore a man on the Roman throne. Just around that time, because the pope saw the Roman throne as technically vacant, and his position as weak in relation to the surrounding Italian principalities,he in invited Charlemagne to Rome under false pretenses and tricked him into a ceremony where he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. This didn't change relations with the east however, the Ottomans becoming the sultan of Rum did that. Most of the "lost" knowledge came frome raids and trade with the Muslim world, notibly the reconquesta in Iberia (see the La Chanson de Roland for more).

All music since the 20th century (at least) wouldn't exist without black Americans' labor.

The point is to limit the ability of multinational corporations, and the countries that act as their muscle, to create famines though prioritizeing exports and price gouging. This makes food something that people have a right to, rather than a commodity that should be sold only to whom it can make the most profit from. Check out what happened to push bottled water over public water fountains.

What bill needs to be footed? The vote was to make food a right, not force a single country to pay for the cost of food. Please learn to read and understand what you are reading. Worrying about a non-existent "bill" is purely ideological.

Sorry, but you don't deescalate a dangerous situation with a martial art. Real life isn't a movie. You deescalate through conversation.Yet, some people are committed to a violent resolution, and in that case, there are no magic words, or chi, or anything else that will deescalate. You need to be ready to draw your weapon and kill, because they are. If that is not the case, then you don't need a martial art anyway. Even Marx carried a pistol because he understood that.

Lol, evergreen post

A gun.

Trains don't need to be the miles long trains that you are probably thinking about. Streetcars worked just fine for Americans for decades, until the auto industry forced them to shut down.
