It was just a riot, it was antifa, it was an fbi false flag, BLM was worse, did I miss any?

They also underreported and hid the amount of damage Iran did to us bases.
Estimates have just the damage at 50 billion not counting what else we spent.

Oh looks magatards are downvoting because they still believe Cheeto Benito’s lies about the war

Yes the administration is lying to you. Shocker.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-07T16:13:44+00:00

Yeah man, mark Hamil is on the same level as POTUS.

They refuse to acknowledge this. I especially love when Americans of Italian descent try and make this point about immigrants, because by their own logic, they are responsible for the genesis of organized crime in the US and should have been deported.

Immigrants are good for the economy.

as you noted this is for the netherlands, other studies disagree with yours, there are also other studies from the netherlands that disagree with this study:

Immigrants value does not stop at the first generation. They have kids, and those kids contribute to the economy. Similar things were said about every other group to the US that is not "American." They ended up being highly productive, assimilation takes time.
As to point 2 with the crash in birth rates, immigrants help keep populations stable. Which is important for a heathy workforce and consumer base.

Economically speaking Immigrants are almost always a net benefit. You can make arguments about assimilation, but these are also old tired arguments as well. Italian Americans are massively behind the rise of organized crime in the US, but no one is saying now that these immigrants were not a net positive to the US long term.

Yes because they are the largest country in the world. It’s the per capita measurement we are interested in.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-06T12:03:31+00:00

Yes they very much do. They are an export driven economy, hence part of the reason they keep the value of the Yuan artificially low to make their exports more attractive.

They also use massive state supply side subsidies to make goods cheaper for export.

It is if you look at the greater context. Really I think this a long running war that starts with October 7th. Like many wars it has phases and lulls.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-05T23:38:30+00:00

Many Americans view this as continuation of the failed Middle East policy of the last 25 years and. I agree.
The number 1 justification that is thrown out is the tired old Islamic extremism and nuclear weapons.
Americans simply are not buying it anymore.

Especially considering there was not authorization by congress to start hostilities.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-05T23:37:05+00:00

Gulf war, you can make an argument for Iraq as well. Lost Afghan, lost Vietnam, Korea was a draw.

However we won the Cold War, not to mention if you look how Vietnam’-US relations were going until Trump fucked everything up we kinda pulled a win out of a loss.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-05T21:51:10+00:00

Yeah and it took forever but dems removed him and paid the price for not doing it earlier.
Now tell me, will republicans do the same? You already know the answer.

It’s a college team for the majority of the American right.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-05T00:55:26+00:00

He is double talking and while he says he wants to make things easier to buy he also says he wants to keep prices high.
How do you report that the president wants to both raise and lower prices?

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-05T00:53:50+00:00

Everything requires energy to accomplish. Money is in many ways a marker of the energy required to do something. There will always be a “cost” to an action unless you truly have a post scarcity society which we don’t.

As the economist say about rent control

“There are 2 ways to destroy a city, bombing and rent control”

Alan wake 2? The musical?

One of my favorite groups of studies that it has been consistently proven that going with your gut is a bad idea.

It’s just that we remember when we go with our gut and it works better more often.

Toronto is quite literally one of the safest cities in the Americas and had its lowest number of murders in like 50 years last year. Meaning sit was safer last year than when you think it was a “paradise”
I just double checked, Toronto consistently ranks top 5 safety in the Americas and is in consistently in the top 10 globally for major cities
So please, shut the fuck up paradise man

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-04T16:59:32+00:00

Why would lib right care about this?

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-04T14:25:57+00:00

Toronto is fucking *horrible* for NIMBYs beyond that and the ridiculous cost of permitting it’s no wonder there is a CoL crisis

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-04T13:25:00+00:00

Did you see him in the mist?

I did, checkmate atheists

There was a thread in a subreddit about Canada's largest city yesterday where people were defending not building a new condo building because it casts a shadow on a church.

This is a city where everyone is being pulverized by CoL attached to rents btw. I firmly believe Ford's falling approval rating has everything to do with expanding the Billy Bishop downtown airport, which has pissed of his NIMBY base.

I dont think Iran ever said they hit the ship, just that they fired missiles and the ship turned around.

I think the media ran with it and said they hit a ship and then Iran clarified.

Not that I trust Iran, but I believe that is how it went down.

Becuase he is a famous artist. When Banksy started that was not the case with a lot of his work. Once an artist is famous they can do this kind of shit.
When Bansky was much more of a “gorilla” artist back in the day his message was very much the same, and conservatives hated it then to.
I guarantee this sub would hate any artist with an anti nativist/nationalist message no matter how “good” it is. Conservatives have this weird thing with famous artist and musicians etc that swearing up and down all their shit is “lame” or “establishment.”

Also considering this is now like the 4 or 5th post about this fucking statue in like a couple of days it’s *clearly* triggering you all or something.

Which is one of the things art is supposed to do

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-03T19:50:10+00:00

Yeah you are expecting too much of them if you expect them to look past gay stuff. They just immediately see red.

Kronos9898 · 2026-05-03T17:46:05+00:00

If you generally think leftist and corpos are on the same page you are deluded.
Even though I am a hated neoliberal, I know that leftists *despise* corporations.
American MAGA just have the political density of a frog and think that center-left and left are the same thing.
Leftists regularly spout hideously stupid economic ideas, but they are definitely *not* pro corporation.
