I find it deeply funny how these people will claim China’s growth is from capitalism but Venezuela’s fall is from socialism, despite there being no reasonable definition of socialism that would cover Venezuela but not China

He even admits it when Venezuela had economic growth They chose to run an economy entirely reliant on a single product, so of course they faced disaster when it went down. That isn’t socialism, it’s just shit economic policy

Bad economic management and crashing oil prices caused Venezuela’s problems Very little to do with socialism (especially when Venezuela isn’t a socialist state by any definition of socialism)
Here's a longer-term chart. The simple story is correct. Capitalism created Poland's miracle, and socialism created Venezuela's catastrophe.

It’s funny how every Jomboy hater just completely makes up his arguments to bash him There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize him, but this is blatantly wrong IKF couldn’t field. It was never about his bat. Just blatant lying for no reason
IKF. The player he’s describing is IKF. Remember IKF? Notoriously loved by Yankees fans

The centrists liberals will likely coalition with one of the far right parties, because VVD refuses to work with the left instead of the right
sorry social democrats, it's the centrist liberals who defeated the far-right

Also India has seen rapid increases in its GDP, GDP per capita, HDI, etc over the last few decades

Leftists will rant about colonialism and how destructive it is to the development of nations (all true) but then compare a nation completely colonized by the British to one that was mostly not colonized and act like that is a fair comparison
If only there was a parallel "democracy" of comparable size, population, and history to China so that we could compare, perhaps right next door.

Equivalent to Russia liberalizing and 2127 liberals arguing that not supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine means you hate the world or something
I think it’s fair to say that if you assert “The world would be a better place if America hadn’t taken the land from the indians”, you just hate America. There’s no way to square loving America with substantively thinking America shouldn’t exist as it does today

Besides the fact 6 years is a long goddamn time, the difference between Japan and the US is similar to the difference between the US and NORTH KOREA It’s utterly embarrassing and comes from horrible policy failures
Amazing. A country this fat, anti-vaxx, violent, and on drugs and we still only die six years before the Japanese.

This makes no sense when Harris held up better with black voters compared to Biden than basically any other group Especially when it seemed Biden was on the path to doing significantly worse with black voters
There is actually a non-negligible number of Black voters who feel Biden was a respected elder who was betrayed, and in a time when elections are decided by tenths of a percent in a few diverse states, you may not want to laugh off the warnings.

This might be a hot take but I think when you’ve pressured a politician to take an action, and then they do it, you should praise them Makes future pressuring more likely to work out So thank you Jeffries for endorsing Mamdani
BREAKING via NYT House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has endorsed Zohran Mamdani.

Those rock historians would be correct, especially in Led Zeppelin’s case Like I love them but they just objectively stole songs and were heavily influenced by blues

That’s not how the VA works at all 100% disability in regards to the military is not the same as the colloquial definition Plenty of problems with Platner, don’t need to make ones up

I wouldn’t call 4 points after RCV to be losing big
Mainers are also thinking about Sara Gideon's race where she raised a ton of money and tried to out-moderate Susan Collins and lost big

Genocide is not just when a lot of people die, but when there is a deliberate attempt to destroy a certain group, whether in whole or in part You can’t drop the bomb for geopolitical reasons with no intent of destroying the Japanese people and then claim it’s a genocide

Even if they were dropped just to scare the Soviets (I find this argument to be shaky at best), that would mean it literally can’t be a genocide by definition
my timeline is filled with european and yankees getting mad i called nuking hiroshima and nagasaki a genocide which is incredible because you're talking about 300,000 people in two successive occasions being pulverised to dust in seconds *just* for the sake of scaring the ussr
