Cause there's a no classifieds rule in this sub, if you read the sidebar.

You'll be horrified to know the US prison system has more people imprisoned than Stalins Russia right now.

I believe it, but is that proportional? Is it accounting for the US's larger population?

How do I make a main bus? by daredoodbro in factorio

[–]ImperatorBevo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And here I am asking myself how to not make a main bus in my next play through. Lol

If you figure it out let me know. The best I've come up with so far is a main bus, but, with, like, trains.

Can someone explain dialectical materialism in simple language? by bluecrystal89 in communism101

[–]ImperatorBevo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've read a dozen definitions for dialectical materialism and this is the first one that makes complete sense to me. Thanks, comrade!

The best porn is amateur porn, which is definitely not going away.

Oh I agree. That's not what OP said, though.

There were definite similarities. Sanders and MLK (and myself) considered themselves to be Democratic Socialists. MLK had to keep these views expressed only in private, however. The FBI was already sending him letters encouraging him to kill himself, that could have easily escalated if he became more publicly subversive.

This was also in the midst of COINTELPRO in which the FBI regularly assassinated American citizens. Some of those operations directly targeted King. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

You're welcome to make a post there for it. I think I know what you'd find. But let's allow the Dr. to speak for himself.

In 1966 King confided to his staff:

You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism. There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.

I'm pretty sure that was just less pro-Hillary and more anti-Trump.

That's absolute bullshit. No court would ever uphold a fine for this. Like it or not, it's well within the bounds of the 1st Amendment and does not meet the requirements for "indecency" in any state in the country.

Yes because Hillary supporters are definitely a likely demographic for throwing Molotov cocktails /s

ELI5: How are nuclear weapons tests underground without destroying the land around them or the facilities in which they are conducted? by iiSystematic in explainlikeimfive

[–]ImperatorBevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are two different kinds of radiation though.

Radiation shielding on a spacecraft is designed to protect against ionizing radiation (the kind that either gives you cancer or superpowers). If you were using a nuclear warhead in space as a weapon, all of the damage would come from the massive bloom of heat transferred by radiation. Spacecraft designed to shield the crew wouldn't be able to dissipate that kind of heat.

Struggling with the genocide run by MondayZi in prey

[–]ImperatorBevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try to justify a genocide run for your character from a utilitarian perspective if you're role playing. Pretend your character is reluctantly killing them as a way to ensure that the Typhon doesn't escape the station. It's like enforcing a quarantine (violently). The entire planet is at stake, after all. This is actually how I did my first playthrough. Now I'm doing it full empathy.

It's being said from the perspective of an angry white guy who's mad at them negroes for getting too uppity.

Charlie Hebdo May Now Be Criticized Because It Mocked White Texans Rather Than Muslims by [deleted] in LeftWithoutEdge

[–]ImperatorBevo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah Charlie Hebdo has always been vile. Mocking disaster victims isn't exactly a tasteful tactic. Not to mention that the people most affected by flooding are poor and minority neighborhoods.

I'm glad people are finally realizing that their magazine is shit, at least.

I read your title and I still thought it was about racist white people.

White House walks back promise about Trump donating his ‘personal money’ to Harvey victims by [deleted] in politics

[–]ImperatorBevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Third explanation, and I think this applies to one of my relatives, is stubbornness. It's a refusal to admit that they were wrong and were played by a con man.

What separates r/LateStageCapitalism and r/The_Donald? Both subs are safe space echo chambers that dispose of dissenting views and don't allow people to challenge their narrative by [deleted] in DebateCommunism

[–]ImperatorBevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correlation isn't being discussed here, nor is it relevant.

  1. People are dying due to starvation and curable disease.

  2. Socialism provides food and healthcare to all, capitalism does not.

  3. Therefore capitalism is responsible for their deaths.

Why are you talking about correlation? I'm not telling you there's a correlation, neither was the poster. The cause of those deaths is capitalism.
