I appreciate what The Skull has to say, and the degree of insight he has into American politics, but he's clearly not as dialed in as he thinks.

You'd have to be totally ignorant about how those rightwing pro Israel sources were also the same outlets that kicked off the last month of Hasan Piker discourse in Michigan--which, wait! what? that was in Jewish Insider? and Third Way is working in parallel with them?

There's your "usual voices".

You're going to have to tell me who exactly is silent about that. You'd have to say, live in another country perhaps and have no idea that the origin point for the Platner opposition dumps are far right pro Israel outlets like Jewish Insider, and plastered all over Fox News etc. Sit this out, skull.

This is The Washington Post using its opinion section to manufacture consent for U.S. intervention in Cuba. When every “opinion” piece points in the same direction, it stops being analysis and starts functioning as propaganda.

Here's a pic from last month of the 80-year-old congressman who died in office today. Who could have seen this coming?

huh interesting

Do you suppose Piker or anyone here opposes that? I really don't get it. He's clearly making a polemical argument. The larger point is that petty crime is marginal, and is in fact factored into the margins: we should focus on the far greater crimes these corps do, including stealing worker's wages.

and what if someone did?

seriously. Because there are many who do. We should fix that.

Piker: I’m pro stealing from big corporations, because they steal quite a bit more from their own workers. However, one thing that might even help your ethical dilemma is the fact that the automated process that they design, these companies know will increase shrink, right? So it’s actually factored in. The lemons that you stole are factored into the bottom line of these mega-corporations regardless. And they still end up having increased profit margins, because they no longer have to pay the cashiers that they used to hire, as opposed to this automated system, knowing full well that people are still going to be able to steal a lot more efficiently, as a matter of fact, through the automated process.

This is what he actually said btw

Dumb guy AI query aside, what do you imagine Piker's position is on taxing the rich, including himself? Also, let's not pretend someone who is barely a millionaire is playing on the same field as Elon Musk or Bezos, who are worth hundreds of billions and wield more power than many nations.

for decades, Democrats have been focused on governance, or management of the empire. and abandoned leadership. behind the demand for fighters, is the demand for a new generation of leadership. Now that Democrats are moving, often by being pulled along by their left flank, Rs pivot to cry-bullying.

oil and fertilizers move through the strait of Hormuz, and well take a guess.

Helium is a necessary coolant in a lot of very sophisticated processes: ct scan machines in hospitals, and in the manufacture of complex electronics like smart phones, computers, etc.

PENTAGON ERASES WOUNDED U.S. TROOPS FROM IRAN WAR CASUALTY LIST: "DEFINITION OF A COVER-UP" The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties - inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count. Nick Turse April 222026, 10:50 a.m. Share

The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports.

15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally.

The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.

one required, but sadly enormous, shift in the way americans view things: recovering an understanding that a democratic government is a collective enterprise that should deliver tangible services and benefits to people

I get the sentiment, but I think the extent of transformation in the distribution of power and Iranian thinking about the role power - having given up on international mechanisms and agreements with US - is vastly under appreciated. Hormuz is Iran’s alternative to a nuclear bomb as deterrence.
