"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

Had the Aztecs and Incas shown a bit more interest in the world surrounding them - and had they known what the Spaniards had done to their neighbours - they might have resisted the Spanish conquest more keenly and successfully.

From me: China's threat to restrict rare earth minerals exports shows who really holds the cards in the trade war. We invented rare earth magnets and gave the production away; decades of bad ideas handed another country the ability to determine our economic future.

Why China Can Collapse the U.S. With One Decree

China holds a virtual monopoly over a product needed to produce the only thing holding up our economy right now. And it’s preparing to use that leverage.

The only way to prevent this is end capitalism as it exists and imprison anyone using their billions to try and tilt the political system.
Billionaires must be stripped of their wealth
The top tax rate has to be returned to the 92% rate like it was under Ike
All monopolies must be destroyed.

one thing we can never allow to happen again is making someone president who is rich enough to fund endless frivolous lawsuits

This Day in Labor History: October 14, 1948. A rogue anti-militant thug named Jesus Diaz de Leon took over the independent Mexican railroad union with support from Mexican president Miguel Aleman. Let's talk about the Mexican state co-opting Mexican independent unions!

"Prisoners, the overwhelming majority of whom never were charged with anything."

That's called a hostage, dipshit.

Palestinians just always guilty until proven innocent, and even then fair game for murder, anyway in the eyes of Israel.
