Supposedly Snopes had a mission statement something to the effect of “to demonstrate how unbiased we are, none of our staff are allowed to donate to political causes” or something to that effect

But the first few staff members this guy checked, all donated to Dems. I knew Snopes was biased when they never once mentioned anything about the Jussie Smolette hoax. That was big news back in the day. Had he been a Repub, they’d have been all over it

Where I heard this about the donations is linked below. Now did this have a role to play in FB’s decision? Did they catch wind that Snopes staff was donating to Dems? Who knows:

He’s trying to talk Trump out of his crazy proclamation that he’s going to war with the cartels. As we know China is their supplier of precursor chemicals

I think it’s noble but crazy to say you are going to war with the cartels. It’s like you had two big ASSes attempts in one year and want a bigger target on your back? And what are you going to do? Drone and bomb the living shit out of Mexico? The cartels here run and hide already for self-preservation.

Hell, I need to find the paper but I believe the horseshoe bats in China and Laos collected for consumption at wet markets often have a SARS-CoV-2 virus with a genome that is similar.

occam's razor pwns all of that. team red and team blue players are literally incapable to objectively looking at the siutation and the timeline if you even remember it

it started with the first videos floating around of people just falling over in china that only places like 4chan were talking about for like 1.5 months so from the jump it was being censored, WHO isn't a unbiased immune to influence organization and 100% of everyone involved understands the logic and need to not start a global panic

that was literally the only thing they did do right, was lying about the orgins and lying about paper masks being effective to keep the drool cups from losing their minds and killing eachother at the grocery store

everything else they failed at as far managing the situation

Cocaine manifesto

Trump, I don’t like traveling to the U.S. much, it’s a bit boring, but I confess there are worthy things. I like to go to the Black neighborhoods of Washington. There, I saw a whole fight in the capital of the U.S. between Blacks and Latinos, with barricades, which seemed to me like nonsense, because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the U.S., are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered for being labor leaders with the electric chair by the fascists who are inside the U.S. just as they are in my country.

I don’t like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species with greed. Maybe one day, along with a drink of whisky—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you are looking for a stubborn person, that’s me, period. You can try to stage a coup with your economic power and arrogance, like you did with Allende. But I will die by my law, I withstood torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slave owners on Colombia’s side, we already had many and we freed ourselves. Who I want to be on Colombia’s side are lovers of freedom. If you can’t join me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of the yellow butterflies, the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, one of whom I am, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which came before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

You don’t like our freedom, fine. I do not shake hands with white slave owners. I shake the hands of libertarian whites, heirs of Lincoln, and of the Black and white rural boys from the U.S., in front of whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking through the mountains of Tuscany and after saving myself from COVID.

They are the US, and before them, I kneel, before no one else.

Overthrow me president, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia, now stop looking to the north, look to the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of that time, from the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood carries the resistant Black people who were turned into slaves by you. In Colombia lies the first free territory of the Americas, before Washington, of all the Americas, I take refuge there in their African songs.

My land is of the goldsmiths that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolívar, opposes you.

Our peoples are somewhat fearful, somewhat shy, they are naive and kind, lovers, but they will know how to win back the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all over Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, before Colombia, whom you murdered.

I raise a flag, and as Gaitán said, even if I am alone, it will remain raised with Latin American dignity, which is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather didn’t know, but mine did, Mr. President, immigrant in the US.

Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty as I do, don’t disrespect it, and it will offer you its sweetness.

COLOMBIA FROM NOW ON FACES THE WHOLE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE, AND HUMANITY.

I have been informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruit of our human labor to enter the US, I will do the same.

Let our people plant corn, which was discovered in Colombia, and feed the world.

The mere status of being a billionaire is unethical. Such a concentration of wealth only occurs through the aggregate suffering and exploitation of masses of people who sell their labor to survive. Additionally, such wealth affords far too much concentration of power in one actor. There isn't a fortune in Earth's history that wasn't accumulated through anticompetitive practices or skullduggery of some kind, dating back to the first douchebag who bribed the island king for exclusive rights to all the coconut trees.

Even with billionaires who are dedicated to giving away all their wealth-- fortunes made on the backs of labor is directed at the pet interests and whimsy of one person, rather than the wants and needs of the body politic.

Every miserable maggoty ducat in excess of $1billion in realized or unrealized wealth and income should be taxed at 100% and used to pay union dues.

AI Overview

The labor theory of value largely fell out of favor in mainstream economics by the late 19th century, with the "marginal utility revolution" of the 1870s being a key turning point where economists began to embrace the idea that value is determined by subjective preferences rather than just labor input; therefore, marking the end of the widespread acceptance of the labor theory of value.
Key points about the decline of the labor theory of value:
Austrian School:
Economists like Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk from the Austrian School heavily criticized the labor theory of value and promoted the concept of marginal utility, leading to its decline.
Neoclassical Economics:
Modern economic thought, largely based on neoclassical economics, rejects the labor theory of value in favor of supply and demand dynamics based on individual preferences.
Marx's Influence:
Although Karl Marx is closely associated with the labor theory of value, even within Marxist economics, there are ongoing debates about the validity and applicability of this concept in contemporary economic analysis.

Tariffs if enacted is just a messy resulting tax on the American people. Especially on energy, coffee, car parts and computer technology to exporting countries.

Causing too much world turmoil will just cause Japan, China and the UK to sell off their US debt making us look like chumps as our economy crashes and burns.

Furthermore the Orange rump is creating a separate External Revenue Service to collect tariffs on imports to further fool his uneducated voters.

He only cares about filling 'that coffer' as further excuses to pull a reverse Robinhood in tax reliefs to the rich.

after like 50 million it doesn't do anything for your ego, it's why all these dudes are so active in the space race and other shit. but the scoreboard past 100 million is boring to them. even yesterday where the Oracle guy lost like 8 billion and zuckerberg went up 4, neither of them actually felt anything from that on a emotional level.

No... I live a life of luxury. I sleep in a big bed. watch netflix. Eat great food.

Do you catch me not complaining about my shit life? No.

Do you see me going, youj know what, I can downsize from 5 rooms to 3, so i can help more people. No.

So why do you think that if you had 6 rooms or 60, it's any different?

If I was a billionare, I would be as accustomed to that way of life, as I am accustomed to my curreent way of life, that about half the world would be as far from as I am from a billionare.

So no, there is no "at a certain point its enough"... it's not, those people are just living their lives the way you are, and they are above you economically, as you are above others, as those others are above others etc.. and nobody, is sacrificing their way of life for the people below them, except religious figures.

MLK got shot by a racist, so not much power there, espcially when you consider the left isn't even pro a colorblind society anymore so you could literally argue he died for nothing.

there is literally hundreds of books and psychological studies on this exact subject going back
decades.

this is some literal common knowledge shit, even by American common core standards

According to psychology, while money can contribute to happiness by providing access to basic needs and security, research suggests that beyond a certain point, simply having more money does not necessarily lead to significantly greater happiness

Certainly, here are several research papers and books that explore the relationship between money and happiness:

Research Papers:

"Income and emotional well-being: Evidence for well-being plateauing around $200,000 per year" (2023) by Mikkel Bennedsen. This study investigates whether emotional well-being increases with income or reaches a plateau at a certain threshold, finding evidence of a plateau around $200,000 per year.
ARXIV

"Money Does Not Always Buy Happiness, but Are Richer People Happier?" (2022). This research examines whether individuals with higher incomes experience greater happiness in their daily activities, noting that some prior studies found no relationship between income and daily happiness.
PMC

"Does more money correlate with greater happiness?" (2023) by researchers from Penn and Princeton. This study reconciles previous contradictory results, finding a steady association between larger incomes and greater happiness for most people, but a rise and plateau for an unhappy minority.
PENN TODAY

"Money and happiness: A consideration of history and psychological science" (2023). This paper discusses evidence that wealth is more strongly associated with life satisfaction than household income and explores the relationship between wealth, its sources, and the well-being it can provide.
PMC

"If Money Doesn't Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren't Spending It Right" (2010). This paper suggests that while money can buy happiness, it does so less effectively than most people think, and offers insights into how to spend money in ways that enhance happiness.
HARVARD SCHOLAR

Books:

"The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness" by Morgan Housel. This book offers insights into the psychological aspects of wealth and provides lessons on how to manage money effectively.
AMAZON.COM

"Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending" by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton. This book explores how individuals can use their money to increase happiness, emphasizing the importance of spending on experiences and others.

"The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness" by Bari Tessler. This guide leads readers through a journey to transform their relationship with money, combining emotional and practical financial education.
AMAZON.COM

"Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money" by Ken Honda. This book delves into developing a positive relationship with money, focusing on the concept of "happy money" and how to achieve financial peace.

"You're a Badass at Making Money" by Jen Sincero. This book combines personal anecdotes and practical advice to help readers overcome financial obstacles and develop a healthier relationship with money.

apparently the studies done in the last 3 years are taking the other side of issue, idk but still that one study showing 200k is insane and since i'm not gonna read any of this shit anyway im gonna assume the recent papers are contrarian on purpose for the solo goal of getting people to read their boring fucking paper

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but being poor is suffering.

Like for example, when a rich guy jumps out the window because he lost all his money it’s not because he’s sad. It’s because he knows that he’s going to suffer greaty and compared to his old life he’d rather be dead.

Honestly I could respect that argument coming from the country having their criminals returned if they said what you just said. Instead it's like "no we will not accept these people who we totally think are great because it's really YOU who are the bad guy trying to protect your own people from our criminals." or some horseshit sophistry like that.

Once they start saying "nah we don't want our own horrible criminals back" in something like those words, I'll be on their side.

And if you ever spent any time with them, you'd know they don't need to use that portal to go to the hospital or pay medical bills.

They just get a letter after the fact showing how much money they didn't have to spend.

Only people who are not elderly use that portal to get their cut of a program that was intended for the elderly only.

I hated trump in 2019, and his V shaped recovery I thought was bulllllshit... but...

this isnt even us economy, it wasn't either of them.

The world just wasn't ending like we all thought it was.

Trump was right.

He was fucking right.

I hated him, but he was right.

there are factions among both parties that have been trying to sell utopian theory in their exacting attempt to establish dystopian rule

this is exactly the weaponized compassion I mentioned. It has nothing to do with love of fellow man, or climate, or peace. And it definitely did not originate in the homeland.

These people believe that we have already been surpassed and that the future is inevitable, they seek to secure themselves for that future. They see themselves with seats in the Politburo. They think this way because their entire life experience is removed from the reality of most citizens. They live in gilded prisons that they built for themselves, insulated from the reality on the ground that most of us understand quite well.

While they have gained strength in the absence of any real leadership, it shouldn't be cause for concern because nobody likes them, except for them, and even then they will eat each other the moment they sense weakness.

That’s the one. If we had a drinking game to drink for every “Margaret” we’d be pretty lit

Overusing someone’s name is what you do when you are talking down to a little kid. I’m a big JD fan but that just came across to me as condescending and annoying. Otherwise he made some good points as usual

[Ekco]

Even the popular vote was very close.


being a republican and having the popular vote "close" is a bigger self own than i think you realize.

last one to even have a good showing was Reagan after carter iirc or Bush 2nd term due to 9/11 or someshit

Neocon Kamala lost all the battlegrounds except 1 iirc

[Trexller]

You both make it sound like it was an overall huge win? Each of the controversial states were close.

Even the popular vote was very close.

Orange man's mismanagement recession is on its way to happen again and the same team will try to cheat again.

this is why they won't win 2028, they don't look deep enough to understand why they lost

skim the facts until they agree with your opinion

then move on to the next thing

[Botten]

I really don't mind JD Vance over the Orange man. At least JD Vance served and at one point spoke about what a traitor is.

he'll be the first gay white guy POTUS in the next cycle if he wins also. don't forget that.

other than Lincoln of course

Then you'll have to deal with Vance 48, and this is a guy with the verbal skills to make you feel good while telling you to go fuck yourself.

2004 red team won the popular vote. Reagan 80 was the last male majority electorate.

e: I'm wrong. Males 1976. It's been awhile guys. :o

The pendulum is swinging. His mismanagement is inevitable.

Great, we can do fascism then, glad we agree.

Its been 8 days, there is no pendulum swinging.

The only thing we're a little frustrated with is, that he isn't a dictator yet.

[Ekco]

The pendulum is swinging. His mismanagement is inevitable.

the bar is starting in the negatives for everyone that didn't vote for him or stayed home, the only pendulum swinging going on the near term is blue team losing even more vote share cause i don't see how his policies don't cause a economic boom

the progs and neolibs need to figure out who the top and who the bottom is in their relationship cause this weird hybrid of "playing house" as a political party isn't fucking working anymore. either go actual socialist or actual neolib

i don't even care which way i'm not voting anymore regardless but someone needs to lead

[shovelquest]

The only pendulum swinging is democrats suddenly care about grocery prices.

Farm lady isn't even reported out of committee yet.

But her 'plan' to is put chickens under surveillance. :p

you assholes are making me check in on the only two political pundits i can stand, and i made a promise to myself not too consume this professional wrestling bullshit anymore.

JVL is the GOAT

[Trexller]

The pendulum is swinging. His mismanagement is inevitable.

This is doubtful, he has a dream team of political managers behind him. Love them or hate them, they know what they are doing, and are not afraid to do it.

Some of them were democrats not all that long ago, and he wouldn't have got my vote, or alot of other votes were it not for them joining the cause.

a stopped clock being right twice a day and all, Joe Rogan made an apt comment recently in response to people calling for a "Leftist Joe Rogan", Rogan answers, "You had me, I was on your side"

counting on trump to fail is too big of a risky variable for the left, not when there is a very good chance that he will succeed.

don't lose the forest for the trees

when JD Vance talks i hear mrballen.

[shovelquest]

Oh look, democrats all of the sudden are worried about violent offenders...

Here's how we can solve that problem.

Repeat violent offenders are deported, citizen or not!

LFG! Oh.. you don't really care about violent offenders, and just want to imprison ME? Oh... :(

are neocons democrats now? if you were talking about my post. thats Jeb Bush's communications director and the other guy is a super catholic pro lifer, on Bill Kristols youtube channel, you know the guy from Reagan and Bush seniors administration

whatever is in the water or airwaves is turning progressives and trump supporters, LITERALLY retarded. hopefully RFK can get to the bottom of it

The two men in that video are are teeeerrrriiiifififiifiiiiiieeeeed of mostly peaceful protestors being released from gulags.

Whatever they define themselves as, I define them as: hypocrite normies.

I could probably find a clip of them saying sending illegal immigrant charged with child sex crimes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR5rFfy6jxA) back to their home country is fascism.

[Trexller]

people in general are kind hearted and if you offer them 2 options, one seems nice and the other seems mean, most people will choose the nice option.

you could take advantage of this if you wanted to destabilize a society, by making the nice option the one that also introduces unfavorable elements to that society.

most immigrants don't want anything other then a reliable means to put food on their table, and it shouldn't take 6 years for that to happen.

but it doesn't require millions of cold hearted criminals to screw everything up for everyone else, just a few thousand in the right places.

in refusing to pass any sort of meaningful immigration reform or border security, they created a space for no immigration to become popular. in making going green the answer to everything, they sold something they couldn't hope to deliver.

they still don't understand why, "We don't want it only because that guy does" is a losing campaign platform, but in a world where you have to convince hearts and minds in less than 30 seconds as the voter doomscrolls through their life, it's the only option they had

now they are trying to figure out why people all of a sudden are happy to sit through 3 hour conversations from educated people

Americans think if you just give a country an American flag they will adopt western culture.

We tried that with Russia, what did it get us? Well it ended the cold war.. but started ww3 25 years later.

the blanket pardon also pardoned the undercover feds, and you eat this shit up with a shovel

that one dude, not the guy with an eyepatch is 100% a fed iirc

source: 4chan.


also the guy that smeared shit on the wall prolly should do some community service. your only okay with it because other retards scream about it constantly. that doesn't make you right, it makes you also retarded.

they have the footage and both sides poured over it, you could easily pardon the ones dems went after to just be dicks about it without also pardoning the dudes beating up cops.

Russia doesn't really want anything more then their own influence in what they feel is their part of the world. They also have an entire leadership class that never took their cold war glasses off. Their messaging to the west can be summed up with little more then, "stay out of our playground"

This is unacceptable to western hegemony. While there is no NATO general who lies awake at night concerned over russian nukes, there are many western bankers who lie awake at night concerned about russian influence in emerging nations. After the baltic states became "westernized" the russian leaders realized that their influence was holding onto nothing, where they can offer gazprom and telegram, the west can offer exxon shell and Meta. Where they can peddle influence in an election, the NSA alone has a greater hacking capability then the rest of the world combined.

Where they have to mobilize their entire country to hold a line in battle, we can send our dusty old gulf war era shit to sunflower farmers.

For as long as russia is beaten down economically, politically and militarily, they will not be able to partner up with anyone in a meaningful way.

As the northern ocean thaws, shipping lanes open, and new areas of resources become available, an entire new world opens up on planet earth. A new world that NATO generals think about at night, a world where little red flags dot their maps.

[shovelquest]

Honestly we use this pyscological warfair on each other and it's so obvious.

Like for example in literally this weeks episode:

1. Pushing the idea that trumpers are mad about egg prices. This is psycological warfair to try to make trumpers mad about egg prices.

2. Elon being the real president, is a very obvious pyhscological tool that the left and media are using to de-stabalize the relationship between trump and elon. They know that trump might get mad at those statements and will lash out against elon as a result. They know they know this, and I they know I know they know this. But they will deny it. But I know they are not that stupid to not know this.

3. A great example is mark cuban trying to convince people on twitter to use psychological warfare:

https://i.imgur.com/JWMmr50.png

My theory is, this is a subconcious self destructguve human behavior, that is just totally out of control since the advent of the post modern erra.

We are so self destructive, we will say that americans are the worst, least free, most awful colonizers on earth, nevermind that we were the first to end race based slavery, the civil rights movment, give individuals freedom, created a market that got more people out of poverty than any system before it..

Ask anyone and they'll all say the same thing, conservative or democrat, that america is a colonizing awful country.

Only a few maga people here actually love this place. The rest think they can fix it.

[shovelquest]

are you seriously trying to convince me that the FBI had undercover agents that were the violent offenders right now?

[Ekco]

atleast Cuban is doing something to lower drug prices, unlike an entire political party that stated it as their goal for a decade and a half

don't @ me about insulin, that shit is a red herring from big pharma while they skull fuck you on everything else

I agree with you that insulin price caps was not a victory, especially since trump is the one that lowered them to the price Biden capped them at. :cool:

holy fuck google Agent provocateur, FBI has been caught starting more riots n bullshit while undercover than any other alphabet soup agency

how fuckin normie are you? the one in Seattle they started by throwing shit threw a starbucks, they started shit at occupy wallstreet also.

literally how they justify their budget, when they aren't catfishing retards into being terrorists that is
