@1800ghostman He writes his clever post from a smartphone filled with shit mined out of the global south and posts it on Twitter. Ah he thinks. This will really change the minds of the petit bourgeois.

Canadians be like “are you enjoying your dividends from the mining and exploitation of the global south?”

Well, I think I just gained a lot of sympathy for the Alberta Separatist movement. And I've been consistently saying for 10 years that it would be unwise, given the reality of being a landlocked state whose economy depends on agriculture and resource extraction. Don't get me wrong. I've compared a lot of individual Canadians to rats, especially in Ottawa. But when government propaganda uses broad strokes to paint its own citizens as rats, is it even appropriate to call Canada a nation anymore? This is Radio Rwanda shit.

@lvbs East Enders are sensitive communists much like east Berlin, we should build a wall along Jarvis or something to keep them out

all the punching down on the east end of toronto is so cringe to me cause like… sure the west is cool aka gentrified etc etc. look into why the west side of EVERY city is nicer than the east and then we’ll talk.

@stephenattong The east side is just poor ramshackle and sad and they can't get over it

@SocTransitLover bagles on fire on queen is as good as most montreal bagle

They're both different. Until I can find a good poutine, bagel, or smoked meat sandwich in Toronto or a good Jamaican patty or a genuinely unique fusion experience in Montréal they're both equal as far as I'm concerned

@anup_malani In his book he enumerated many examples of how this trend is reversed, you give several, another major one is that capital owners die and their relatives fritter away the capital. The fact that there are ways to reverse capital accumulation is the actual point. It's not some law.

The deeper problem: Piketty commits Marx’s error. Both propose general laws that grind forward regardless of who holds power. Acemoglu & Robinson’s counter: inequality is political, not mechanical. Institutions, coalitions, and bargaining — not formulas — determine who gets what.

@AnimarchyYT An embargo isn't a blockade and other countries beyond the us also embargoed Japan, why would they sustain an economy that was invading it's neighbours and would then threaten others? It's asinine to expect the us to just let that happen.

I had to see this. And now you do too.

@AlexAlmeida2020 Itll take months to stand up a force that could actually force itself into the AO, mid-april for just a nucleus of a force is too late. this needs resolution in days. And what's the end game, an american enclave clinging to the cliffs of Hormuz forever being harassed?

CENTCOM has been running with the "their combat power is declining, our's is still decreasing" line and there's a good reason for that. Run the numbers and even in attritional terms there's only one way this ends, even if it comes down to a knife fight over Hormuz.

Look folks, I get it. The US fumbled Hormuz badly in the opening weeks and has been too slow at shifting from an offensive focus on Iran out of Israel & Jordan to defending the Gulf and reopening the Strait. But...

@dexterbrian_ @unusual_whales Conventional tipped ICBMs/hypersonic are immensely costly with none of the deterrence. Compared to a few dozen f-35 with the equivalent of a b-61 strapped to them you get way more bang for your buck. a b-61 is like 20 million vs 200 million for an ICBM

@unusual_whales Poland having a nuclear warhead is not a problem, But I guess they don't have a budget to maintain the nuclear weapons, They should rather focus on ICBM and Hypersonic missiles

BREAKING: Poland has said it will now work on getting its own nuclear weapons, per Bloomberg

@Breadddman Should charge 5k like lable

We should charge $100 tbh. But BM going to let wave 2 slide in for the low (man of the people) May lock them all In at that rate for life if they are as cool as the OBs.

@EvansRyan202 I am glad I cancelled my sub to war on the rocks after that, even after multiple years, you're defense of this and complaints during the russian contingency episode put a bad taste in my mouth and it looks like you haven't changed your tune

@LKEMLLR Reading comprehension is hard for some people I guess

BTW one thing this article convincingly proves is that the February Oval meeting with Zelensky was not an ambush. As reported, the White House was hoping for a productive meeting and Zelenksy ignored pre-meeting advice from high level people close to the administration to avoid doing exactly what he did. And Trump was even willing to do the deal EVEN AFTER the big blow up, but Waltz talked him out of it. So everyone who jumped up and down on me for pointing this out at the time can now observe how poorly their certainty aged.

@joequant ur a fucking retard

The basic problem with US national security policy is that its based on lies. China is not a national security threat to the United States, and if you create your national security strategy to deal with a non-existent threat, then everything else is going to be fake.

@sentdefender why do you follow to the smallest detail about Israel/gaza conflct but almost never about the ukraine conflict unless it is just minor russian stuff?

Lots of Flights tonight by the Russian Special Flight Squadron (RSD), which is Responsible for the VIP Transport of Senior Russian Government and Military Officials. These kind of Flights have been seen before, usually prior to Major Missile and Drones Strike on Ukraine.

@WarOnTheRocks The paper you were trying to recall is one of my favourites: Eyal Weizman · Walking through walls

Ryan sat down with John Amble of the Modern War Institute to unpack the challenges Israel is likely to face in Gaza, Israel’s world-renowned urban warfare training facilities, and comparisons with other urban battles. ow.ly/aFff50PWGnL

@natstoberman Liv, laugh, love

I love me some golf, and I am getting a good chuckle from the #PGATour saying "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"

@MrProcta Filipinos

It’s funny how the old whites at my work are the only ones who can’t tell the Pilipinos apart lol

@MrProcta All I'm witnessing is old man coping 🤣
