huh? I’d say email was quite popular there, it was just tied to the mobile operator (and has then been replaced with Line)
The right of self-determination means that a nation may arrange its life in the way it wishes. It has the right to arrange its life on the basis of autonomy. It has the right to enter into federal relations with other nations. It has the right to complete secession. Nations are sovereign, and all nations have equal rights.
Target Israel and we will target you. […] You have been warned.
What is this movie villain ass letter?
There’s an issue without you saying not because you don’t know econ 101, but because you do know it. Because you shift the focus from the systems (global imperialism) to the individuals (“so you shouldn’t be allowed to migrate?”). What causes migration is, objectively, unequal development of different countries caused by imperialism and inherent to the market system, and not “personal decisions”. That means shifting the talk to “personal decisions” is pointless and harmful.
It’s like going “oh but you voluntarily choose to buy/sell” and blaming all your economic problems on yourself.
No, migration is caused by economics, so it only makes sense to use economics to talk about it. In capitalism, migration follows the market laws, i.e. people migrating to where they expect to be paid more.
There’s no agency in the market. That’s the entire point of markets - being independent of a single human’s whims and being an equalizing force, the “invisible hand”.
And the entire point of communism is getting that agency, having production for the sake of humans rather than humans for the sake of production.

ah yes, gay = bad, how progressive of you
edit: would you call Putin Ukrainian as means of insulting him?
as much as I wish it were spontaneous, it seems organized (many cases happened right on the first day of elections; (nearly?) all of the perpetrators were women across like 5-10 cases that I’ve read about; they all immediately started taking photos as if to show proof to someone), it seems like either Russia or Ukraine is behind that (the former would want it to discredit the opposition, the latter to discredit the Russian state, either option sounds plausible to me). Of course, the Russian police says Ukraine-linked scammers promised money for doing it.
honestly with how much some scammers can achieve at times (I’d rather not say, I’ve seen some abhorrent cases in the news) I tend to believe the official Russian version
I’m a programmer and I remember 33 digits, but in practice I never use pi because I never have to deal with geometry
at least they got half of it right, I indeed live in Russia
You are claiming that I said VP can magically override the US policy, while I said the exact opposite - VP can’t and won’t do shit unless the entire government undergoes a broad ideological shift.
Before that, you talked about responsibility, which I didn’t talk about at all. I simply said that Israel exists in its current form thanks to the US, which is objectively true. There’s no “responsibility” or “morals” in saying that much, and people all across the political spectrum can agree with this.
And no, I didn’t call what you said a logical fallacy, because fallacy and logical fallacy are two different terms (leaving aside whether what you are saying is indeed a logical fallacy).
Your comments are a prime example of the fallacies of analytical (as opposed to dialectical) thinking. I’m talking about the broader interconnections, relations, tendencies, and you’re trying to shift the focus from the system into its constituent parts. Of course, if you do that, you can get any conclusion you want. The fact of the matter is you can’t look at Israel without looking at the US, you can’t look at Kamala without looking at the American government.
You’re asking - “what would Kamala asking for ceasefire change”. I say - Kamala is part of the American government, which is dead set on supporting Israel, and she wouldn’t magically change her mind, because her consciousness, like anyone else’s, is shaped by her social being. That said, that doesn’t mean she won’t ever change her mind - if she does, it would be indicative of broader shifts and contradictions among American elites. Her asking for ceasefire wouldn’t be a cause - it would be a symptom. As for what American support for a ceasefire change, I wrote about that in my comment above.
You are deeply delusional if you think “producing bombs” is the only thing America does for Israel. The states have very deep ties, because Israel is America’s primary outpost in the region. “Geopolitical partners” are non-fungible. You can’t just say “if the US didn’t support Israel, some other country would”, that’s not how it works, besides the self-evident statement that there would be some state with some ideology with some policies at that territory. For example, from the very start (1967) PFLP fought not just Zionism, but also Western, primarily American imperialism - that’s how obvious the connection is.
And I’m not American so I don’t even know who Kamala is, but I imagine it’s some random genocidal politician that could just as well be replaced with any other genocidal politician. The US supporting an Israeli ceasefire would indeed be a heavy blow to Israel because US interests are the only thing preventing unanimous UN support for a ceasfire, and because the US is Israel’s primary economic partner, and under US sanctions Israel’s military prowess would quickly dive below the level of Cuba, even lower because of the hostility of most countries of the world towards it. But the “ceasefire” framing is disingenuous as it considers the two sides of the conflict as equals, as opposed to the occupied and the occupier.
Of course, what you are saying would be natural for someone who believes in vulgar economists’ favorite “supply and demand” and “the invisible hand of the market” being something akin to natural forces. Luckily, they aren’t actually natural forces, but something created by humans, something we can analyze just fine.
it’s no secret that Israel can only function like it does thanks to US support
ha ha women objectification funny
people always joke about this but defenestration has never been that common in neither the Russian Empire, USSR nor Russian Federation
