It's incredible how all Democrats did with January 6th is turn it into another occasion to worship the police.

people right now who didn’t understand they were voting for nazis

I don't think these people exist in any significant number. Even if they do, the mythical swing voter has such inscrutable and varied politics that there isn't any message that will work reliably.

China has no more than what every other sovereign nation is entitled to: control over the resources in their territory.

The only requirement for trading with them is to play nice, which the U.S. isn't doing.

This is exactly the hell we’ve been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

The whole project of liberalism -- the idea that we could slowly reform American institutions instead of upend them -- has failed. On anything close to the current path we will see no meaningful action on climate change, no significant redistribution of ill-gotten gains, and no lasting checks on the ability of the state to carry out the type of arbitrary brutality that's the focus of this article.

It's time to think about which radical changes need to be made most urgently, and demanding those changes as a prerequisite to supporting whatever political leaders or movements emerge.

If you don't think there's a significant chance of climate change wrecking modern civilization in the next 20 years, you're just doing climate denial.

We're still doing this?

Russia can only keep up this pace of operations for 6 months to 1 year at most and that’s it.

That’s it, then the manpower runs out. Russia is already arriving with tanks coming from the year 1955.

I remember the warmongerers trotting these lines out at the start of fighting. 3+ years later, Russia has a big chunk of Ukraine and is steadily gaining more.
