The biggest problem in Cuba is the blockade.

Fucking do it then they’ll be more protected from retaliatory forces as they won’t be targets anymore.

Market capture is one of the major goals of capitalism because it allows for continuing, unconstrained profits.

When you control the market people have no choice but to turn to you if they need what you sell–regardless of quality.

Securing markets through control of supply doesn’t stop being capitalism just cause it’s done (perceivably) unfairly.

Dumping is the natural end of overproduction or under consumption. It’s also a tool to secure new markets. Capitalists employ it to get new customers and minimize losses. That’s why Walmart exists in small towns and why previous season’s stock goes on sale.

What we see here is a state capitalist entity participating in a global capitalist market using the tools available to them to secure new markets. There’s more than one tool at play here too: the article talks of the advanced state of automaton as the differentiator with domestic producers. At the scale of automation described, even if not sold at a subsidized loss that’s still gonna produce a cheaper product.

What do you think Walmart does when they go to a new market?

Well that’s capitalism. It’s what you wanted right? Competition to keep you on your toes?

Looks like the invisible hand of the market favors what the people want more than what bosses think we can take.

Even more false propaganda against Israel

Like what Bibi? That you kill children or are committing a genocide? Cause that ain’t falsehoods.

It was bought by a Nazi who ran a chunk of the US government to personally enrich himself and who despises his own trans child. He runs the site as a way to control the narrative of the masses to support the ultra wealthy like himself.

So, yes?

• Waterparks - Ice
• Badflower - Machine Gun
• Seb Lowe - Don’t say no to Hitler
• Moon Walker - You’re next
• Grandson - Little White Lies
• Grandson - Brainrot
• Against me! - Baby, I’m an anarchist!
• Harris J - Hourriya
• Flanger Moose - Fascists don’t have friends
• Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis
• Gus the Bardic troubador - GTFO
• Devil Said Jump - Make me buy a gun
• Palaceburn - And you wonder why they kneel

The discographies of Grandson, Moon Walker, and Dropkick Murphys have a lot of good, recent, messages. Pussy Riot has a couple of generic and America themed songs as well. Otep has several, though they are more fueled by reaction than actual artistic talent.

I wouldn’t rule out older titles from the Vietnam or Coal Wars/Battle of Blaire Mountain Era.

Which is, of course, a violation of the Geneva Convention. Not that petty international laws should apply to “gOd’S cHoSeN pEoPlE.”

Space exploration is relatively cheap compared to our murder machines, and unlike the murder machines has practical benefits for a wide swath of people.

There’s new innovations that come around in order to get into space, new innovations from discoveries made in space, and new innovations made because we’ve gone to space.

Some of these innovations even help address problems on our own planet. GPS helps keep planes from hitting each other (which was the catalyst for making high resolution GPS publicly available in the first place), satellite imagery aids in weather prediction and disaster response, even global communication is in part because of space travel.

I care less about finding backup worlds, but even that search gives us information about the needs of life and can hint at how life came to be–answers which may be helpful in some types of medical work.

Tardigrade can survive for a shockingly long time exposed to the harsh environments of space. We wouldn’t have known that if we hadn’t gone ourselves, and understanding why they can survive so long can help us look for ways to prolong resilience in other complex life forms and environments.

The knowledge gained about keeping people safe in space will be critical to keeping people safe in other extreme environments like through the ongoing climate catastrophe.

So for the sake of progress, yes, it’s necessary. It’s another frontier for humanity to explore, and the more we explore the more we find out about ourselves and how to help people.

At this point just rebrand.

Do you recognize this person?

Do you know what PVH does?

In the Days of the Comet

Crazy that heads of state with greater than 50% unapproval rates are encouraging uprisings to overthrow unpopular governments.

Maybe we shouldn’t have started a war with them then?

Crazy how, when you forget what constitutes a valid military target when antagonizing a majority of your neighbors, your neighbors might forget what makes a valid military target too.

Almost like the very concept of valid military targets exists to protect civilian life during conflict.

I hope they’re able to move toward a client first renderer instead of the image tile approach they used previously. That was kinda a network hog and cludgy to use.

This seems like a very loose definition of “violence.”

You mean to tell me you don’t just have to speculatively double tap random boats to intercept drugs?
