So what would the US do to another Anglo country? Make those tax incentives meaningless by making it prohibitive for companies to operate there?

well, dune is, like, fiction and one of the colonizers allows himself to be considered a god to the colonized

And what would be those consequences to Ireland, one of the few countries in Europe with its actual shit together? I don't doubt the US is shortsighted enough to do something, I just would like to see the 'consequences' of them doing it.

They’ll run the demon that is Vance and Democrats will be even more fucked because they’ll have no answer against an ‘normal’ white guy with decorum

Look friend we're just talking here right? This aint .world. I'm saying regular shit we all accept right?

It's just talk to you but it's a more delicate subject to others.

If Trump's presidency had an effect it would be in the data, but my (quick) analysis is that it does not,

Your quick analysis literally shows an increase in hate crime stats starting from 2016. Right wing radicalization incited by Trump's rhetoric didn't go anywhere just because Democrats won something.

if you're white it doesn't matter, sure. but racism is still a real thing, and rhetoric makes its way to material conditions.

how to be a sociopath and reduce every social dynamic and interaction into its bare essence, which only serves to further your personal aspirations.

Like, as another user said, it's an interesting read if you want to get insight into how too many fucking deranged people think and maybe use it for tactical defense in the hellscape that is the workplace but I quit after a few chapters because I I'm trying to remove myself from whatever fucking world these type of people exist in.

damn, that's actually a good one

I'm just learning that David Brooks, the fucking neocon of yesteryear, is a Democrat now, giving policy advice to the party.

Not sure I follow what you’re saying here. This thread is just liberals blaming Kamala for being too progressive

 

‘As an Asian woman, Progressives like Kamala need to realize white men are tired of being persecuted’

Xi Jinpeng, chairman of the CPC, protector of the largest communist nation on the planet, flagbearer of the mutipolar world order, son of Mao, liberate us from the evils of these lands we have been unfortunate enough to inherit.

for INDEPENDENCE FROM KKKRAKKKISTAN lets-fucking-go

 

Literally noone in the US or the entirety of latin America knows what’s going on in PR atm but I’m almost certain PIP will win the governorship for the first time ever.

And then it will all be credited to this dumbass hurrdurr

 

I attended a career fair 2 weeks ago. A list of companies that were attending the fair had been published before the event, and there was one I was extremely interested in. It’s a Water/Wastewater Treatment company. I have been working on a research project on water treatment for the past 1.5 years, I have well regarded engineering degree (although not in Civil/Env); I felt really qualified to work for this company. i had a tailor made resume just for this one company.

I enter this career fair and it’s packed with people and booths. I’m looking for this company’s booth. not paying much attention, as I’m walking ahead I hear someone from behind one booth say something I think was rude about me. I keep walking thinking not much of it. As I fail to find this company I turn back, and sure enough it’s the same booth I had thought said something about me. It’s relatively empty.

Whatever, I power through and do my best to charm them. They seem to be very polite, at least on the surface. There’s no doubt that in terms of passion and ability, I’m a good fit for them. As I finish my conversation with them, and I as I leave the booth, I sweat I hear something racist said about me.

I’m like, whatever, ‘figures’, I keep talking to other companies. Then I get a call from them about a pre interview. I take the pre-interview with HR, and give them zero reason to not be interested in me. They tell me they’re going to call me for an formal interview.

A week goes by, and I email them. Nothing. I call them the very ‘nice’ lady who I swear said something racist about me, she says ‘oh, we’re going over qualified candidates, you being one of them, and will call you soon when we’ve finalized everything’

I get a call 3 minutes later from the HR lady asking me for an interview. Yesterday, the day before the interview, she emailed me to confirm my attendance.

I have recieved a single paycheck in over 1.5 years. I’m absolutely qualified for this job, but I’ve gone through this song and dance so many times in the past 1.5 years.

Am I getting self sabotaging myself? Like, they’ve decided to interview me, they’ve been polite to my face, have engaged in conversation with me, acknowledged I’m very much qualified, but I’m just getting bad vibes (tbh, as I usually tend to get). Am I wrong?

Should I actually try or should I just whip my dick out on a hunch that they’re assholes?

 

Everything coming out of their mouths, their actions…like, this all seems like self sabotage? Campaigning in Michigan with Cheney, ‘what happened on October 7th is so much worse than the genocide in Gaza’, ‘the empathy we did not display towards gaza doesn’t mean we support Gaza’.

Sub zero intelligence in that campaign/party or are they actively campaigning to lose? It’s a train wreck lmaoo

 

Prefer you’d just pipe down and go back to being irrelevant

 

Anyone ever seen pigpoopballs? Haha I think it’s quite funny when a lib(eral) starts talking about voting, as if it’s a consequential action taken against our current political order.

It seems like these two will be at odds with one another forever, regardless of the current state of politics in India. While the far right/BJP's grip on power is waning and won't last forever, it does feel like neither China nor India will move forward with significant collaboration. China has effectively built its Belt Road all the way around the country.

This is of tremendous detriment to India, literally the most populous country on the planet, because it knows the USA is an unreliable partner and its only real ally is Russia, with whom they can't even trade energy with due to geographical constraints.

Moving forward, what is China's plan with India? Is there any intention to smoothen these relations?
