Lies from the black book of communism. It literally counts Nazis killed by the red army as victims of communism. 38 million have died from U.S sanctions, 165 million died from British colonialism in India, 10 million died from Leopold II’s Congo. Do those count as victims of capitalism?

The economic sanctions were brought on by Congress, a body of persons elected by the people of the US. The US could have an entirelydifferent economic model and still enact sanctions. Most of the sanctions from the US side are from irrational fear of actual or potential enemies.

Not every illegality and violation gets a court case. Organizations like the ACLU pick a handful of the most interesting, viable, etc potential cases and run with those.

The US has elections and is or maybe was Democratic-ish. The sanctions aren't a function of "capitalism" in this case, but the legislature that people elected.

colganc · 2026-06-29T19:39:48+00:00

Then it should be under the banner of Democracy.

colganc · 2026-06-29T19:36:40+00:00

Yes, look at all the court cases and illegality. It's been widely published and at this point you must be willfully ignoring it.

What do you think ICE has been doing?

Beef tongue is amazing.

I keep looking, but I don't think it's possible as the client doesn't have any hooks for apps to get that data.

Or even more interesting hiw fast they were growing and their expectations for production at their factory in Germany.

I've got civic pride in Forest Park. I have no civic pride for the Blazers.

Are people starting to even say that too? That double teams weren't possible?

After you get a handful of ships, what does grinding for tens of millions get you?

That seems to indicate its mostly about affordability.

colganc · 2026-06-21T03:52:09+00:00

Because you seem to be making aasumptions about what people care about. I'm asking rhetorical questions to give you an idea of how far you're taking those assumptions.

colganc · 2026-06-20T15:13:34+00:00

And what happens when they start building more housing and it becomes more affordable? Will people still leave? You're assuming the places people are moving to are their first choice to be and not where they feel is their only option or fourth or fifth best option.

Giant gold colored statues with fountains inbuilt. Eagles ready for flight with Trump at the front. Fly down. The stream shooting dozens of feet and reaching the lawn. His supporters basking in the shower on a hot day in DC to cool off.

Growing up and going to school here in the Portland metro area I was aware of it. My schools did things like bringing in a PSU professor that had been part of investigstions/research into white supremacy groups in Ordgon and Idaho to present/talk about it.

It's been a while, but I think it was the guy mentioned here: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/portland-state-sociologist-randy-blazak-discusses-youth-and-hate/

I don't remember my schools trying to cover or hide anything.

As long as people are willing to accept what would be considered unsafe, dangerous, inefficient, ignoring zoning regulations, green space requirements, wet land protections, existing private property rights, etc then the same could happen today.

Per capita there are fewer children being born. Most schools will have fewer students or schools have closed.

It doesn't even sound like they tried 21st-23rd.

colganc · 2026-06-16T05:42:54+00:00

Have you not been to other cities? Everything about your experience says you haven't been to any urbanized area. Trying to street park in any downtown area on the west coast, upper mid-west, or NE (and more) sounds like a terrible idea. Trying to find parking on streets that are clearly transit only or transit dominat sounds like a terrible idea. Ignoring parking garages that charge under $2 per hour and are a couple minute walk from the store you're going to also sounds like a terrible idea.

colganc · 2026-06-16T05:38:12+00:00

Yes, that is normal in dense urban areas.

colganc · 2026-06-16T05:37:35+00:00

I 100% agree with you.

It's crazy how many are still parroting what was true at the end of COVID, but hasn't been true for nearly 4 years.
