Outstanding thread on basic economics.

Este es uno de los mitos predilectos d la "escuela austriaca y el marginalismo moderno: intentar invalidar la Ley del Valor de Marx señalando q no puede explicar por qué un diamante hallado al azar, un cuadro de Van Gogh o un terreno en la Quinta Avenida son caros. 1/10

That’s funny because in 1861 the idea of ending slavery was used to recruit soldiers for the U.S. army.
Also, you: “None of the seceding states cite slavery as their primary cause.”
Mississippi: “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery”
Oof.

Hmmm, whom should I believe? The people who were there and witness to the actual events? or Rando hack on ‘x’? You stated: “why did the Articles of Secession in 1861 explicitly cite the threat to slavery as the primary cause for leaving the Union?” Answer: They didn’t. None of the seceding states cite slavery as their primary cause. Several seceding states fail to mention slavery altogether. But even if they had, it was moot as ultimately it was a Constitutional issue. Nobody on either side was fighting over brown people in 1861.

@PushDemsLeft He'll also be remembered for his statement on November 8, 2016: "This is an intramural scrimmage."

Disillusioning a generation and paving the way for Donald Trump by using his supermajority to break deportation records and drone weddings instead of passing universal healthcare or codifying Roe v. Wade.

@StevenBrust I love writing that discusses the artistic process, whether about writing, making songs, or painting (hello, *The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars*). Fascinating reading.

@briebriejoy @CallForCongress Condemning Hamas while defending the state of Israel is akin to condemning Nat Turner for terrorism while praising the slavocracy.

Hamas *is* a thousand times better than the IDF.
It's not even close.

Representatives Mike Lawler (R) and Josh Gottheimer (D) introduce resolution to US House to condemn Hasan Piker for antisemitism The resolution states, "Piker has expressed support for Hamas on multiple occasions, and claims Hamas is “a thousand times better than Israel”

@j_em_bee So true! I've lost count of how many times I've read that.

One of the greatest short essays in philosophy in all of history. Anyone who wants to think well—and certainly anyone who wants to understand Marxism or dialectical materialism—should study it carefully. youtu.be/tPWJX4ZsNa4?si…

The vaccines are safe and effective. What is not safe is the virus, #SARS2. People are accepting repeat infections with a highly pathogenic virus—this b/c the capitalist class has duped them into thinking SARS2 is harmless. It is not. Zero #COVID now. Defend public health now.
FireFighterDev@fire_starter457
Did you know that 5 billion..yes BILLION...people have had a COVID vaccine. If they were anywhere NEAR as unsafe as antivaxxers would have you believe, we should have had a mass global population die off by now. We have not. They are lying.

Every time I'm on a long hold, when I finally get to talk to someone I'm tempted to say, "Hi. Long time listener, first time caller."

For over a decade, friends and family told me to be careful, to lay low, because Zionists might try to kill me.
I always knew that risk. I’ve seen what they’ve done to others, even here in the U.S.
Now that they actually tried, I’ll say what I’ve always responded with:
I meant it then and I mean it now, my life is not more important than the lives of those living in Palestine. I will not be scared into silence.

Undersecretary of State Thomas DiNanno saying that anti-fascism is fascism while previewing plan to treat domestic opponents to Trump along same lines as suspected terrorists--i.e., black site dungeons, torture, extraordinary rendition.

@StevenBrust Do you remember having a very different understanding of what cease-fire means or is that one of those deals like nelson mandela in the genie movie from the nineties
English
Whether it's the US working to build a massive alliance in preparation for more brutal assaults in its unprovoked war of aggression, or Iranians making videos that mock Trump, both sides are violating the spirit of the cease-fire. :-Fe
