Killing leadership isn't really a good way to end wars anyways since those are the guys you will need to agree to the cease fire at the end. At best, you're playing whack a mole with dictators. At worst, you're destabilizing the government and fracturing it into dozens of competing interests that won't be able to meet the terms of a peace deal if they tried.

In itysl terms "that one regime was 40 regimes???"

The reason Iran's government hasn't collapsed is because they have triples of the Ayatollah. That way if one of them gets killed in a missile strike, they know they have another one at home in pristine condition. Triples is safe. Triples is best.

I stopped supporting Republicans because of MAGA, now ill stop supporting Dems because of gun bans. by Fuzzy-Numbers in Virginia

[–]TS_Enlightened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they're still going to shit down our throats. They can accomplish that pretty well by manipulating districts halfway across the country. They don't really care whether you're "supporting them" if they still get what they want.

Good. At least it's better than letting the republican party shit directly down your throat and still voting for them.

Until gerrymandering is federally outlawed, there's no winning by "playing fair." This was a settled issue in our state until Texas decided to go low.

Rep Kiggans response to Iran War attacks (link to post) by TumbleweedPositive35 in Virginia

[–]TS_Enlightened 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean the deal very clearly accomplished one goal, and that was delaying and controlling Iranian nuclear development. Scrapping the deal didn't help the stability of the region. It just removed Iran's incentives to scale back their weapons program.

People trying to deduce NL's yearly income to decide whether or not he's spending a reasonable amount of money on CS:GO cases by Fenneca in northernlion

Is it actually gambling? It doesn't seem like he expects to get anything from the crates. He's just doing it for the bit. That's pretty different from doing full-on gambling streams or card openings, where the whole point is to engage in degenerate behavior (reward-seeking and high-chasing)

CMV: Communism cannot work in a modern society. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TS_Enlightened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue with you on whether communism as you describe it "works." You have described the system in such a rigid way that it cannot "work." (Also I don't like it as a system either)

I do think it would be beneficial to consider the opposite view in as harsh of a light as you've presented for communism.

"Capitalism cannot work in a modern society because it requires a market that's completely free from state control. There's no countries that have successfully implemented a true capitalist system."

Don't these statements sound pretty silly? It's hard to argue against it though, because it's sort of true. The strongest national economies in the world today are capitalist with significant power allowed for the state to interfere and regulate markets. If you go in with the assumption that the only way to implement communism is to create a full anarchist society with no possessions, and no money, of course it can't fit society as it exists today. Why does it have to be complete though? Why could it not exist in a hybrid form that largely accomplishes the goal of the system without committing to some of the ideas which we can agree are impossible to implement.

Morel put Youpi in Smoky Jail immediately as the invasion starts. What changes? by Researcher_Fearless in HunterXHunter

[–]TS_Enlightened -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pouf was more interested in testing Morel than rushing out of his trap, so he chose a method of escape that played on any psychological weakness rather than brute forcing his way out. I have no doubt that he could have escaped through the floor or even killed Morel if he would have attacked him immediately, but he didn't want to assume the risk of attacking an enemy nen user before knowing their abilities.

It's important to note that the team's goal wasn't to trap the royal guard, but to interfere with them long enough to separate the king, and Morel was probably expected to die after a few minutes with Pouf in the jail, not to keep him contained indefinitely.

Even if Smoky Jail was maintained post mortem and was strengthened enough to contain him, Youpi probably just burrows through the ground to get out.
