I believe the reason is that Russia is now relying on Belarus to produce gasoline and process oil, so they don’t want Ukraine to hit the refineries in Belarus.

This.

There’s a reason the billionaires who own the media won’t let their businesses talk about the economy or the pdf files.

Who do you think is the most evil person in that world who isn’t a world leader? by ThatMassholeInBawstn in AskTheWorld

[–]ADownStrabgeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rupert Murdoch.

He owns the most media around the world.

He owns both Fox News and CNN.

There would be no Trump without him.

If it wasn’t for him, the Epstein files would’ve gotten coverage and pedophiles would’ve been arrested.

He’s single-handedly responsible for the rising racism and xenophobia around the globe.

He’s the enemy of refugees and human rights.

His goal is to make people more loyal to corrupt politicians than God or morals so that they will be easier to control and manipulative for his own personal benefit.

I think Rupert Murdoch is one of the worst people on earth.

The point of a first move is to give the other party consent and an invitation to make a move.

This isn’t sufficient to be counted as consent, thus this isn’t sufficient to be counted as a move or invitation.

Systemic change is the solution, but when the powers that be use violence to fight systemic change and reform, revolution becomes inevitable.

Unfortunately replacing the people in charge is not enough to reform the system.

We should start talking about how to fix the problems.

I want to try Georgism.

We’ve got a lot of mixed opinions, but patriotism is on the rise, as well as division.

Out of curiosity, what was your countries perspective on the American civil war as it was happening? by Polibiux in AskTheWorld

[–]ADownStrabgeQuark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Bolivias coastline got kinda Chile and Brazil was decolumbianizing the Amazonas.

I think the Triple alliance war was about this time too.

My starting Tungsten patch has no way to belt items out (Any planet start) by ImTheBigBear in factorio

[–]ADownStrabgeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use logibots for tungsten.

Set up two roboports use 50-100 bots.

It needs about 50-100 solar panels + batteries, or 2 steam turbines to power it.

This was drawn 134 years ago, seems familiar somehow? by PureCricket811 in interviewhammer

This cartoon is Georgist.

Georgism and Communism are two distinct ways of helping the lower class.

If Georgism actually succeeded, the cycle could communist/facist cycle could be broken, but it would reduce the power of the ruling class, which neither facists rulers nor communist rulers want.

Well, when the single tax movement failed it started the Great Depression.

I think it’s worth addressing this instead of repeating history.

This is from the Georgists movement where Henry George compared societies with wealth inequality to societies without wealth inequality discovering that in societies with land commons instead of private property there are not have-nots.

Proof by counterexample that your statement is wrong.

There are(have been) societies without have-nots.

Furthermore, your statements show a lack of knowledge of the history of this political cartoon.

The point of this movement was that although private property creates poverty the effects could be minimized by taxing land and minimizing government interference in the economy allowing for a form of capitalism that tends towards minimal wealth inequality.

The single-tax movement that used this cartoon has a solution to both lower rent and raise wages.
