    • Iranians demonstrate against economic hardship, but media refuses to mention this hardship is almost entirely caused by EU and US sanctions

  • Sanctions, how do they work

  • I wonder what the people putting a child in the electric chair thought and felt

    • he's not wrong

  • Love the "Have you tried not being depressed?" advice. Well no, but now that you mention it I will give it a go, that's genius, thank you!

    • he's not wrong

  • Exercise and money.

    • it is super nuanced actually

  • Right for us!

  • -Have you tried restarting it?
    -Yes, of course.
    -Can you do it again?
    Every time. And in 70% of times the second reboot fixed it.

  • Thank you! That's an example on the same niveau. Do American presidents need congressional authority to follow resolutions by the Security Council?

    • shocked I say

    Jump

  • There's no discussion of how horrendous any of that are, but that is not what I wrote about.

    Congressional approval of these actions doesn’t make them any less bad and we shouldn’t be upset with Trump for bypassing congress

    Good for you if you can disregard unlawful and unilateral actions of a fascist. However as I wrote, I cant see neither Biden nor Obama act in such a way and would they have, I would have been extremely surprised.

    Why does the decorum of politics matter more to you than the immense violence of the American war machine?

    🙄

  • Yeah I'm swamped with my own research atm and cba to read through studies not relevant to my work 😮‍💨

  • Interesting. This doesn't seem to be a established concept within political science, or at least, it's the first I've heard of it. Why?

    Anyway, economic power doesn't necessarily translate into political power but then again, maybe so in the US. However, the US has passed plenty of policies reducing profit margins for the rich, so it seems like this does not hold true?

    I don't consider Marxism or Lenin radical and have read some, but thank you!

  • What are the variables behind this?

    • shocked I say

    Jump

  • Never heard that definition before, could you define it? The official designation of the US is a federal presidential republic, a presidential democracy, no?

    • shocked I say

    Jump

  • Can't remember when Obama bypassed congress and attacked another country, but I must confess I don't have a 1:1 timeline of Obama's presidency.

    • shocked I say

    Jump

  • A democracy reflects it's voters opinions. I'm not shocked that the Trump government would do this, but had Biden or Obama done the same, well I wouldn't believe it.

  • Oh okay. So no deeper discussions unless you're like family? Interesting, we also like to compromise and avoid conflicts, but politics are not generally avoided (some do of course) even at work.
