You’re telling me that empire wastes endless resources on violent tech that goes nowhere? I’m shocked. Now do china. lol.

They’re working on upgrading the grid and building a few more power plants to enable this feature.

Capitalism is completely planned and controlled. Ask anyone who’s been colonized. People who believe in “free markets” are brainwashed ideologues.

If that’s what failure looks like, then USA been failing since it’s inception.

People think the USA is some research mecca when it’s just sending bombs to zios, restricting research to the rich, and extracting profits through state violence (eg. IP, colonialism, etc).

warns that China

The casual sinophobia is too much sometimes. I dunno how this decaying empire thinks that it’s going to maintain it’s violent dominance… Oh yeah more violence.

Plus, Kamala in the vid is talking to AIPAC, in a very different context. What do you genuinely expect a politician to say?

I would expect a decent person not to engage with a genocidal regime. But I wouldn’t expect anything from a politician.

I’ve been trashing her since before she was VP because she’s trash. Not gonna stop now.

Yes politicians are all trash, but especially the tyrants of empire. Free ukraine. Free palestine.

For me anarchism not about opposing a particular state (eg. your own state, some enemy state, etc) but about opposing every state and “the state” in general.

From this perspective there’s always nuance when one “state attacks another”. What are the states? What is their relationship? Why is there conflict? How does this affect me and the planet more generally?

And so someone’s behavior could vary greatly depending on the situation. If you’re living in nazi germany and your “country” is attacked, don’t collaborate with the nazis. On the other hand if you’re invaded by nazis, it’s probably worthwhile to fight back - perhaps in the military or perhaps not. In many cases both states are terrible and it’s a struggle to just survive their violence. I’m using nazis at the typical extreme example but most states are built on similar principles: fascism, xenophobia, patriarchy, colonialism/imperialism, etc. So many conflicts fit into this general framework.

TL;DR: It depends on the situation.
