I guess US citizens are then in a financial situation similar to what US foreign policy has encouraged in several regions of the world.

Anyone can downvote all they want, but US interventionism has had terrible consequences that most US citizens are not even aware of, yet people push back, they resist, despite much greater poverty than most people in the US have to suffer.

I’m confident that US citizens can eventually do something concrete against their most recent criminal regime, of which there have been many. We haven’t even yet seen the level of pushback that was mounted during the war on Vietnam, and armed thugs are out there killing your citizens and kidnapping people off the streets.

I just hope that pushback comes sooner than later because history shows us that people outside the US tend to suffer much more due to US policy than people inside the US.

Thankfully, I’m not from the USA nor will I ever travel there again.

I will, however, work against the interests of its long-running bloody empire.

I agree, but if given the choice between error and fascism, I’ll take error.

Still waiting for US citizens to organize a nationwide strike that doesn’t end until ICE terror ends. What’s it gonna take?

Thanks for the info. Too bad Weinstein ever had anything to do with Hollywood….or humanity for that matter.

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking that Kevin Smith wouldn’t even mind having his films torrented.

Any idea what happened with Dogma? Obviously ruffled many feathers at the time it was released, but I’d hope it’s not in danger of becoming a lost film. Just to make sure, I better go torrent it today.

Which button do I press for infinite upvotes?

It’s the pilot of a sitcom in which a goofy husband and hard nosed wife blah blah zzzzzzzzzz……

I greatly prefer reading that to “boutta.”

Fair enough. I’ve read their articles over the years here and there whenever I happen to come across them, though I don’t recall ever looking at their opinion pieces. Great tip about the RSS backdoor!

I’d be curious to know why, since “sucks” didn’t give me quite enough context, oddly enough.

I’d love to know why anyone is downvoting this. Truly curious what’s to dislike here.

A system of measurement in which something like 15/16 of an inch is seen as a sensible way to measure a small distance. Not much else to say.

Impressive to feel you understand a country of 1.4 billion people from a single picture, let alone call them “pathetic” and “amoral.” The world’s most populous country with dozens of languages and cultures. One single picture. Like I said, impressive…ignorance.

I lived in India for years, in multiple cities north and south, and I’ve traveled all over the country by train on my own as a foreigner. Easily some of the best experiences of my life.

India is dozens of nations posing as one single nation state. To generalize it is impossible. To generalize it from a single picture is a degree of simplistic thinking I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered from an adult.

“oligarchy of former terrorists”

Perfectly stated.

This is the dream. They’ve shit all over Latin America for almost a century. Enough already.

Again I’ll say it….Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

I wish it weren’t so, but you’re hitting all sorts of nails on the heads. Long live Rojava. Down with jihadis, and so long as the so-called Syrian army is headed by a jihadist, down with them.

Might sound crazy, I know, but I’m having trouble trusting a jihadist after what’s happened to Kurds at their hands in the last decade.

I may come to trust him slightly if he allows free and fair presidential elections, which I strongly doubt he ever will.

Weirder still to just use the general Spanish word for cheese to mean a specific type of cheese.
