Yup. General Secretary just means that. Secretary. He was the one who eliminated the President position. Premier of the Soviet Union was also never supposed to be the leader. When Kruschev assumed power, he was personally the head of, like, 13 different departments. The Soviet System was a publicly fake system because the whole thing actually relied on fraud and intrigue. You didn't officially know who was in charge until they proved it themselves.
Who the fuck told you Syria was neutral?
I don't agree that Syria is an Iranian puppet, but the Assad family has been enemies of Israel for generations. Lebanon is a vassal state of Syria, so anything that happens in Lebanon, is something Syria and Assad have direct, personal, knowledge of. This includes the operation of Hezbollah.
Bombing their enemies, all of whom are affiliates of each other.
The only reason they haven't taken shots at Saudi Arabai and Qatar is because it would really piss off the Americans.
Though, if they did take a shot at Qatar, it would be correct, and the US should stop funding Qatar anyway.
Yeah, because it's not sex slavery, it's forced marriage. Those are two completely different concepts. The women were not chattel, they even got to chose their husbands. Now, it's still genocide, but it's not slavery.
It would be equivalent to calling France a slave-state prior to the revolution because they had kings. Even with an absolute monarch, they wouldn't be slaves. You're conflating two different concepts.
That's what I expect. It's basically a Whig or Chicago School move of using tariffs to build economic power. I don't like it from an Austrian position, but if you play both sides of the equation, the math works out. Then you're supposed to get off it, but people rarely do (certainly the Whigs never did).
I agree with that, hardly anyone knew who he was unless they saw me arguing with Philosoraptor about him, or watching Viva Frei, Robert Barnes, or Richard Barris. Which, still, is more plugged in than should be considered healthy.
With the tariffs, if businesses pass down the cost of the tariff by raising the prices of product, is there really a difference? I know there is, but that's 99% what's going to happen the moment that tariff would be enacted.
From the libertarian and minarchist stand-point, I understand the criticism. However, I would argue that Trump will probably mitigate the effect by loosening regulations so that it's simply easier to start a new business in the US, than to keep importing Communist subsidized goods from slave states.
For the maternity issue, it's just not an election topic. No one was talking about it. It seems to be a luxury belief issue. I don't know any company that doesn't allow maternity leave.
- Trump will create a 20% sales tax (they're pretending tarrifs = sales tax)
- What does Harris' Economy of Opportunity mean
- Trump got rid of Roe v. Wade
- Will Trump create a federal pregnancy monitoring board
- Gun Control
- Tim Waltz gaffe regarding Tiananmen Square
- JD Vance said anti-Trump things
- Climate Change
- What does Waltz think of a mandatory maternity leave (this shit took forever)
- What does Vance think of a mandatory maternity leave
- How exactly would Deportations work
You are more right than you understand. I've been trying to scream this from the hill top:
The elites are institutionalizing Cluster B personality disorders on an industrial scale, making it a systemic threat within society. Very likely, because the elites also have Cluster B personality disorders.
