The Obama administration were big believers in regime change. It's long been my belief that they wanted to topple Syria and Ukraine as a precursor to doing the same to Russia. As for why they'd do this now, it could be that they want to leave a wound deep enough that it does not heal in four years, when they'll have another opportunity to tear it open again.
I don't want Ukrainians or Russians to die. To me, the way to achieve that is to wait out the clock until the Democrats are out of power, and then to try to create a peace that will somehow survive the next time the Democrats try to set everything on fire again.
Your title is overstating your case. If putting AI development under the complete control of the government is a crippling handicap, what do you think China will be doing? China, the country where tech companies like Tencent are 10% commissars? The decision would stifle innovation, but not so much that a nation of plagiarists are going to take the lead.
He's more right than wrong. If you are for public transport and walkable cities, you must be against tolerance for the lowlifes that make people retreat into private transportation for their own safety. Where he's wrong is thinking the left doesn't also let white lowlifes (like your average Antifa member) run amok.
The government is complicit because they are coddling the communists and the Islamists to keep them on side. Just as anyone on the right with two brain cells to rub together recognises the golden opportunity to purge our enemies "for the Jews" (but actually for us), anyone on the left with an ounce of honesty recognises the fracture line within their own support base that threatens to tear them apart.
They don't profit by making you more sick than you would have been in their absence.
They profit by taking your rainy day fund and not giving it back when you need it. If you've been paying $8,000 a year for twenty years and your health insurer denies your claim, that's $160,000 plus interest that you would have had available to pay for your own medical treatment had they not ripped you off.
While I share this concern, and have already seen leftists calling for the deaths of other, undeserving targets, I'm not going to condemn a man who Did Nothing Wrong^TM just to make an example out of him and deter copycats.
You can watch the video - she was saying why she was going to throw the book at him immediately before the attack. Appealing to statistics or bias to claim she was going to give him a slap on the wrist when you have video evidence that you are wrong is retarded.
Everyone wanted Epstein dead - it's bound to be way easier to persuade a prison guard to look the other way while you murder him if the victim has already been let off with a slap on the wrist once for pimping out teenage girls. This guy assassinated the CEO of the worst health insurer in the industry - a man whose company defrauded countless people who were forced by the government to do business with him. Epstein has more in common with the man he assassinated than with him.
You could classify it alongside "Islam is right about women" where the text and the subtext are in opposition so it requires some prior knowledge of the meta, while for "it's okay to be white" the text and the subtext are in alignment.
but he brought a gun to the assassination that didn't even cycle.
My guess would be that he was using underpowered ammunition rather than a faulty weapon. He was already using a silencer, so subsonic ammunition would be a plausible choice even if it wasn't enough to reliably power the semi-automatic action of the pistol.
Her father was a partisan fighting against Nazi Germany after the invasion of Poland. He failed to raise his daughter to not be a treasonous piece of shit, but his waging war against the invading force that murdered his parents doesn't deserve your spite.
Right. We can admire the minor heroes of history like Mad Jack Churchill even if they didn't shape civilisations.
