Trueanon also did an episode (or series?) on LaRouche and how the "movement" formed.

Oh noes, some poverty still exists in the country well known for rapidly pulling over 800 million people out of abject poverty!

Look at photos of just about any Chinese cities 2-3 decades ago contrasted with photos of those same cities as they are now. And then compare that to say New Orleans, or even the liberal bastion of San Francisco (look at those tent cities of unhoused people stretching for miles) 2-3 decades ago vs those cities as they are now. What you'll see is a very obvious trend of poverty reduction in China and the clear decay of increased poverty in the US.

It's pretty hilarious how nearly everything you listed as if they're contradictory points actually come together rather comprehensively to support the thesis that Russia is having to fight a belligerent NATO. And the one item that doesn't fit wasn't ever claimed by Russia to be a reason for the conflict.

I seem to have lost track of why he’s invading.

I don't know what anyone can do for you to cure your confusion when you can't even connect the dots between the very things you are linking.

Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed.

It always gets brought up as a book specifically about an anarchist society, but I think that's mostly just because of the more negative connotations of the word "communist" and that most people don't understand anarchism and communism share the same end goal.

This is a perfect description of my situation too. The only dental work that I can get covered is checkups and cleanings.

A while back I was told I needed a root canal but they (the clinic I go to) can't do those and they're not covered anyway. The other option was to just have the tooth pulled, which the clinic can do for a reasonable fee, but the dentist recommended that I not get it pulled for a bunch of reasons including long term health related reasons. I knew I did NOT want that, so I decided to put off doing anything and just deal with the pain in the hopes I'd be able to pay for the RC later or borrow the money or something.

Many months later I decided enough was enough, I had been in too much pain for too long, I'd just bite the bullet (ha) and pay for it even though I still couldn't afford it. Went back to the dentist and they said it was too late for a root canal, too much of the tooth had deteriorated. Now the option was to just have it pulled or to have replaced with an implant, which the dentist strongly suggested I do if I could. But doing that would be over a thousand dollars more than the root canal was going to cost! In other words, not possible for a poor person like me. So I just had it fucking pulled, exactly what I had been hoping to avoid.

Now I'm having similar pain on the opposite side of my mouth and I know it's going to be the same thing all over. Like you said, the loop begins again. I always had healthy teeth, never even had a single cavity until after I was 30. It's like I'm falling apart, not just my teeth but in all sorts of ways, but I can't afford to do anything about it.

You can have exceptionally good hygiene and still get a bedbug infestation. In fact the only good thing about this is that I know even some rich bourgsie fucks who can afford perfect hygiene are getting their blood sucked by these critters too (a taste of their own medicine, really).

The comment section of the thread is almost exactly the same except for the the daily vs. weekly aspect. At hexbear there's a mini essay or something like that as the post body each day but it's usually not what gets talked about much. People being able to just make a comment about whatever or chatting about what they feel like is the same both places.
