Anarchism is the conviction that systems of authority must be required to justify themselves to the people, and if they cannot, then they should be dismantled.
The ice agent is claiming the woman "rammed" his car, but photo evidence shows a small scratch, so a fender bender at most.

The Alistair Sim version is good, but Tiny Tim is woefully miscast. The kid is neither "tiny" nor does he look at all infirm. In fact he looks as if he could beat the entire adult cast at a few rounds of wrestling.

Definitely my favorite version.

BYD sells EVs for under $8,000.

There is no reason an EV should cost nearly $50 grand.

A windmill crushes wind, not leaves. If it crushed leaves, the leaf bits would get mixed in with the crushed wind, ruining the whole batch of perfectly crushed wind.

"From scratch"?

No single person ever builds an empire "from scratch". What the NYT means is that she's going to use her wealth to hire hundreds of people to build an empire for her, thus making her more rich.

People only ever become business moguls by exploiting other (poorer) people's labor.

It's the same thing the Democratic Party have been trying in the US: no vision, no policies, just "We're not those other guys".

It's failed in the US, and it's gonna keep failing in the UK too.

The problem is, all they have to offer is more austerity, and there's no way to sell that.

Since we can't see the wind, science has no way to tell whether it's being crushed.

No thanks.

You don't know anything about me, dude. I live in the US, but that doesn't mean I'm from here.

I've been shot at, and my mother was bombed by the Nazis. So you might want to shut the fuck up and get back to fighting the Russians. Let's see how well that turns out for you.
November 26, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Apparently you seem to think Ukrainians want to be the US's bitch, and that they want to get themselves killed to raise Lockheed Martin's, Northrop Grumman's, Exxon Mobi's and Chevron's stock price.

And if that's what you want, then out of the two of us, the only moron here is you.
November 26, 2025 at 12:20 AM
And since you are a Ukrainian citizen, I'm guessing it's not that you're a psychopath, so you must be an idiot not to see that the US has been playing you and your fellow citizens like fiddles. If I were you, I wouldn't be so quick to admit that I'd been turned into a patsy for the Americans.
November 26, 2025 at 12:15 AM
What I said applies just as much if you're a Ukrainian citizen. Ukrainian citizens (just like the citizens of any other nation) are perfectly capable of being either morons who don't care about their own well-being, or psychopaths who don't care about the well-being of their fellow citizens.
November 26, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Yes of this size. At the time of the invasion, Mariupol had over 400,000 inhabitants - that's a lot bigger.

You're so full of shit your eyes have turned brown.

Now shut the fuck up!
November 25, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Again, this is complete bullshit. Russia took Mariupol, which is almost TWICE as large as Kramatorsk and Sloviansk COMBINED!

And you have the gall to accuse me of lying!
November 25, 2025 at 8:00 PM
At least I care about the Ukrainian people - something those on your side of this discussion do not seem to give a fuck about.

You are perfectly willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of them for US hegemony and corporate profits.
November 25, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Russia has taken plenty of cities.

I get that NATO has been trying to bleed Russia white. That's been the plan since 2008. But if it's not going to happen in time to save Ukraine.

Again, I am not willing to sacrifice thousands more Ukrainans in a half-baked scheme to Balkanize Russia for profit.
November 25, 2025 at 7:49 PM
I already stated that the last 20% of the Donbas was still in Ukrainian hands. Sometimes 240 characters is not enough for the nuance you're demanding.

But Russia already effectively controls the Donbas. The loss of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk is just a matter of time.

Denying it makes things worse.
November 25, 2025 at 7:42 PM
I don't give a flying fuck what it will take. Does Ukraine want to exist into the 2030s or not?

If Ukraine wants to survive, it is going to have to find a way to end this war as soon as possible, because if it doesn't, Russia is not going to stop until Ukraine is no longer a threat.
November 25, 2025 at 7:36 PM
You're right, but they have taken plenty of other Oblasts. The Donbas is the most fortified area in the world right now, but Russia is steadily gaining ground even there while all of NATO's weapons, intel, and training has failed to stop them.

The idea that Ukraine will stop Russia is delusional.
November 25, 2025 at 7:34 PM
And again, giving up the Donbas puts an end to a war that, if continued, will inevitably end up with Russia gaining even more territory.

I mean, can you not see that Russia has the resources to just keep grinding Ukraine down? Your attitude will kill thousands of Ukrainians, and all for nothing!
November 25, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Again, nonsense. Russia has demanded the Donbas, of which it controls something like 80%, and the only areas it's demanding that are not yet under its control are bound to be lost in the next few months, at most a year. Again, the idea that this is tantamount to surrendering all of Ukraine is a lie.
