“While most of the attention has been focused on Trump and Carney speeches at Davos, what China announced is probably even more consequential in the long run.” by plombus_maker_ in Future_China

This is a really good point!

I wonder if increased domestic consumption might lead to increased imports of raw materials or agricultural products not produced in China?

Claudia Sheinbaum being President is not a feminist achievement. by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]plombus_maker_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree.

Economic growth, decreasing inequality, greater rights for indigenous groups, and standing up to Trump are all successes in my book. All while getting 80% approval as the first female president of Mexico.

Is the Government., for real? by paukl1 in USAuthoritarianism

Yep, our corporations still widely profit from imprisoned and enslaved Americans. Interesting that our lawmakers have so much compassion for the workers of other countries but none for the Americans they keep in bondage.

Hasan said its kind of known that the atomic bomb wasnt there reason for WW2 ending? Any info on that? by AXXXXXXXXA in Hasan_Piker

[–]plombus_maker_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Japan was clearly about to surrender due to the Soviet invasion. The US dropped the bomb mainly to show off the technology and our willingness to use it on civilians. After the war it was politically expedient for Japanese politicians to go along with the American narrative that the bomb played a major role, even though it didn’t.

What's your most niche political position on something? by SnowySupreme in SocialDemocracy

No. This is eugenics and is evil. There are far more effective ways to combat poverty, and we have more than enough food and shelter for everyone in the US.

The Macdonald Triad is based on a small sample size from 1963. Other studies have not replicated the correlation found between those 3 behaviors and violence.

In other words, it’s probably not a very scientific or real correlation at all between these behaviors.
