Kamala continuing her streak of being one of the top losers of all time

To be honest, I’m skeptical. While the UAW has gotten better, and Shawn Fain was an improvement, the org is still not great. There’s a lot of functionaries still lurking around, doing business union things.

Oh yeah I certainly agree. It definitely matters a lot. I just don’t the west has the industrial capacity currently to match that rate. Most of the arms were from deep, old, stockpiles, not fresh production. There’d need to be a pretty big reindustrialization push to get anywhere close.

While you might not agree with everything on our instance, the weekly news threads are pretty good at collating news and sources as things happen. It’s a decent thing to browse at least.

A bigger reason is that their manpower is depleted from so many dead. Not to mention various defensive lines not getting built.

No, I’m saying it because the front line is collapsing as we speak. I’m not a Putin-stan lol. I’d be persecuted in Russia.

The war in Ukraine is lost.

Poland was only when the Nazis invaded. Honestly, being under Soviet occupation would be soooo much more preferable than Nazi occupation.

Also I wouldn’t really call the conflict in Georgia invading Europe lol.

So basically you’ve got Ukraine and an example from the 40s. Which was also related to the coming war with the Nazis. That’s not a giant pattern.

“We fought for state’s rights!”

“State’s rights to do what?”

“……”

A bad history of invading Europe? When? World War 2?

Japan’s single party state is democratic and freedom-pilled!

But yeah lol. The US throwing stones about democracy is hilariously hypocritical.

Something that’s important to note though, is that the Cat example isn’t a great way to envision this phenomenon in general. Schrodinger’s Cat was actually made as an argument against this interpretation, by blowing the behavior up to a macro scale, where it seemed absurd. While you can draw analogues and all that, I’d recommend against really thinking that macro scale objects are in a multitude of obviously different states at once, all the time. It’s a path to some of the really kooky fake-science “quantum” stuff that get’s repeated.

Like, you’re never going to see a physicist argue that a person is both alive and dead in another room, because of the technical chance that they tunneled halfway through the wall.

Damn, you’re so fucking considerate.
