Maybe the Italians should strike again until their navy actually protects the flotilla

A Democracy filled with religious extremists.

I admit I only know the highlights. It would make sense for Hegseth to focus on appearances over substance.

Having a brain predisposed to fear is one of the hallmarks of being a Right Winger

I mean, insofar as Hegseth has internalized the culture war and can't stop being a fox news host long enough to do his job. I think priming the Military to eventually use it against the American population was the main purpose of this gathering.

I mean, there was tons of "we're invading American Cities and Fighting the Enemy within" bullshit too.

I'm guessing IRL Jesus would have started rage flipping tables and whipping people with his belt.

One means kings, one means no kings. We use the term Right to describe a set of political beliefs in which a societal elite rules and power & ideas flow from the top down. The further right you go, the smaller & more exclusive the elite gets, the steeper and stricter hierarchies get. The Left describes a set of political beliefs in which rule is shared or replaced with self rule, hierarchies are shallow or non-existent; power & ideas flow from the bottom up. The further left you go the less you're willing to compromise on those points and the more you start to see economic power as equivalent to political power.

Context my dude. Hunger is a term we apply to people having insufficient food available while you're applying it out of context to the bodily sensation of being motivated to eat.

There are in denial or ignorant people who don't have fascists beliefs yet that are politically adjacent to the GOP who might waver, we just can't put all our eggs in one basket.

If the state controls the means of production, then the workers don't. Full stop, no matter how much Bolsheviks want to argue with you about it.

Some people treat Left and Right as more akin to conferences that your sports team joins than actual descriptive terms for political beliefs.

Bolshevism came damn close.

The closest to a universal on the Left is opposition to hunger/starvation for any reason.

Small town in Oklahoma......they're probably blaming their misfortune on the people that sued.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it's talent in the last several years. There's almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

Baking can be alot of work for the amount of product you have to sell at the end, it's why baked good can be so expensive when not made in a factory. Try to be realistic and choose things that aren't especially labor intensive.

Pro-tip: Add a little butter at the end right before the garnish (called mounting it with butter) but don't fully mix it in.

I loved RDR but every time I try to play RDR2 I struggle to stay engaged for more than a couple hours. Then it's 6-12 months before I play it again. Still haven't finished a single play thru. Just can't put my finger on why.

Honestly, most German generals didn't get purged, they mostly went along with the regime and they were considered reasonably competent during the war. The Soviets on the other hand had a big purge of their senior officers just before WW2 and the war went much worse for them in the beginning than it would have otherwise.

Venezuela is a good modern example of loyalty over competence and it's the analogy I've been warning people about since the last year of Trumps first term. Firing the disloyal and promoting the loyal fucked over their entire government and economy.
