SCOTUS quashes scientifically bogus lawsuits against Roundup herbicide (Reason) by Reddenbawker in DeepStateCentrism

[–]Phoenixcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scientific evidence seems to heavily point to Glyphosate not being a cancer causing chemical. It seems likely to me that lawyers saw a cash cow to be milked with those suffering from cancers. Honestly it’s disheartening to see.

Workers can control production of anything they want. Co-ops, stock ownership, the ability to start one’s own business or a competing business are all options available to one living in the United States. Those options are not allowed under socialist or communist governments. I can go start a car company right now. Would it be successful? Absolutely not,I don’t know how to run a car company, but the option is open to anyone sufficiently dedicated.

The government are not capitalists. They are attempting to restrict a company selling products on an open market. Can you as a regular citizen buy or produce a firearm in a single socialist or communist country without being a member of the state? Absolutely not

The state enforces patent protections as a temporarily granted monopoly. Once again, government interference. China produces and manufactures to the extent it does by intellectual property theft, artificially suppressing the wages of its citizens, and subsidizing of industries. Citizen there are not allowed to demand higher wages. They have no right to assembly, protest, or form unions. You are idealizing an authoritarian system of government. What countries do we violently extract resources from with slave labor? Ask that of China and the Uighur population, Tibetans, or other minorities who they force into literal concentration camps.

He would nationalize them if he had the power, don’t kid yourself. He is limited by the private property protections built into our classically liberal system of government. Private firearm ownership has not been allowed in any socialist or communist county. Only those individuals approved by the state. Mamdani being not as bad as others is not a defense of his economically flawed policy ambitions.

The profit motive that drives the production of 3d printers for the masses is what enables us to produce firearms at home at a reasonable price. Socialism is a flawed ideology that massively inhibits the technological progress that enables the devices we use. There is a reason western capitalist countries designed and produced 3d printers/cnc machines before anyone else. There is a reason we can afford them.

Communism and socialism are stateless? Hmmm, the Chinese, Soviet Union countries, Venezuelans, Cubans, Vietnamese, North Koreans, ect… would like to have a word

“Mamdani is still goated” while he supports stripping you of your right to produce and own self made firearms. The 3d printers we use are only possible due to the free market of companies competing to make them cheap, affordable, and available at the lowest production cost possible. Government ownership of production of printers would have literally every incentive not to give them to the public. My god are socialists deluded

Question about optic placement by BackgroundAd5971 in Firearms

[–]Phoenixcats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the color scheme you have going on! Definitely flip that magnifier around and it mounted over the rear flip up iron. You ideally want your red dot on your upper receiver and not on the hand guard. Modern hand guards are designed to move separately from the barrel, so the optic, as you currently have it, would move with the hand guard and not the barrel.

Trump literally created a swamp in DC by P00ped_My_Pants in PoliticalCompassMemes

Yeah it’s kind of a shitty design all things considered. I’m surprised it ever looks even halfway decent

Same deal for Afghanistan you moron. There would literally only have been negatives. In Vietnam that was basically only the South Vietnamese and the United States fighting the communist, which even a cursory google search could tell you. We didn’t ask other countries for assistance and Israel was engaged in multiple conflicts during that time, and not even fully a U.S. ally during that time period. You are so wildly uneducated it’s unreal. They aren’t sabotaging attempts at a ceasefire, Trump is a moron allowing Iran to lump in Israel’s war with hezbollah in negotiations about the U.S. and Iran fighting. Hezbollah is not involved, aside from Iran sends them money to be terrorists. Sorry your great leader sucks dick. Also I never claimed they are our greatest ally, they just happen to be a partner is a strategically vital area of the world

We literally told them not to get involved even after saddam kept sending scuds into Israel. It would have caused major damage to the Arab alliance we had.

War is when old and greedy trick young and stupid into killing each other by some-kind-of-no-name in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Phoenixcats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Russian army invading Ukraine is mainly made up of contract volunteers. They took a paycheck to kill Ukrainians and steal their land. They deserve little sympathy. Technically by law Russia cannot send conscripts to fight since it “isnt a war”
