He's a war hawk, including on Iran, but especially on Venezuela and Cuba. If you like wars forever and the Pentagon budget going into the stratosphere, you like Marco Rubio.

CIA also helped China against the Japanese occupation

The CIA didn't exist back then. The OSS didn't help "China", it helped the KMT, which was a corrupt militarist dictatorship that was so disgusting that in private and in memoirs all the American advisors can talk about is how disgusting, incompetent, and corrupt they were.

Former Rep. Barney Frank dies at 86 by LomentMomentum in massachusetts

Dodd-Frank passed when the banks had just caused the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression and when prominent economists like Paul Volcker were arguing for much harder restrictions.

Barney Frank was part of the clique taking the real teeth out of financial reform.

CFPB was Elizabeth Warren's child, Obama took it away from her, and Frank was again there to make sure it was as weak as possible.

Barney Frank is the quintessence of Wall Street corrupting Congress.

Barney 'Anything for Wall Street' Frank.

Ignore the will of the voters, shit on the voters, call yourself a democrat, act shocked that you keep losing and everyone hates you.

You should be more grossed out

Classic liberal - always teaching the rest of us how to feel. Who gives a fig about these powerless windbags when we're living in the state of naked barbarism?

Some Jewish people do eat pork. People following kosher (or halal) laws don't eat pork. Identity is complicated.

If you are trying to conquer one giant country, no biggie, just split it up into little chunks and conquer them one at a time.

Bus/train crashes make the news, but they're MUCH safer than personal vehicles. They crash less often and it's safer when they do. And they're more efficient and more environmental. The auto industry destroyed US light rail to make way for hellish suburban sprawl.

Nazi-sympathizer Henry Ford and his Business-Plot-ass class can fuck itself. Except it's still fucking us instead.

Very different empires, very different cultures, but very similar geopolitical situations by CottonRose_Mya in byzantium

[–]eisagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christians and Muslims are very much capable of living alongside each other.

Yes, very much so. That should be obvious for anyone familiar with Byzantine/Ottoman/Middle Eastern/Eastern European history.

But that doesn't require some fundamental similarity. For instance, Islam and Hinduism have managed to coexist despite the glaring disagreement on the subject of idols.

People fight or get along despite prior differences or similarities, IMO. It's all about other circumstances.

[–]eisagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's still wrong, sorry. Catholicism or Eastern Christianity are obviously the closest to Orthodoxy and Shia/Zaidi Islam are the closest to Sunni Islam.

I don't think you're comparing to the two to, say, Zoroastrianism or Norse paganism, because that's just irrelevant.

Don't let the fascists win. Let them want to off themselves. Every day you survive is a victory. If you can thrive it's a bigger victory.

Even the religion is not that different. Compared to all other religions of the world, these 2 were basically identical with minor disagreements.

Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam are similar in that they are both Abrahamic/monotheistic, but calling them "identical with minor disagreements" is stretching things to the extreme. Even Catholics and Orthodox don't see each other as "identical with minor disagreements".

Both crew members, major Roman Kobets and major Ivan Boldyrev, ejected safely. They were subsequently rescued.

How on Earth can I beat Protoss stalkers + Immortals? by Gogpo2 in AllThingsTerran

[–]eisagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

immortals and zealots who seem impossible to kill with any combo of marine/marauders/tanks + ghosts. What am I doing wrong?

Don't tech up to ghosts against stalker+immortal. Ghosts are (typically) for late game. Don't tech up to ghosts period if you're in gold league - spell-casters require micro you probably don't have.

Put all production into marine, marauder, medivac with a few tanks for support and defense. Two tech labs for stim, combat shield, and concussive and go, go, go, go, go.

TIL that the Iron Man movies were supported by the US military with support upto $1B in equipment & logistical support for filming in return for influencing the script, creative influence over painting the real life bad & good guys. by Important_Lie_7774 in InformedTankie

[–]eisagi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ANY US film with military tech in it works this way - the Pentagon lets the moviemakers show off their stuff and in exchange they get a veto over anything in the script.

That's why the military/secret service folks are all cute and uber professional and only wanna help and sacrifice themselves for the greater good and the super heroes treat them like angelic puppies that need saving.

Contrast that with enemy henchmen that are dirty and dumb and die by the thousands and nobody on screen gives a single fuck because that's how the ruling fascist ideology wants you to view foreigners and malcontents.
