I know infared has said some fucked up stuff recently, but he is just correct here.

The next word in the book after the quote BadEmpanada used is literally “But”. Lenin is saying that the imperialism of rome is essentially different from that of modern finance capital. Super dishonest from BadEmpanada.

Full quote:

Colonial policy and imperialism existed before the latest stage of capitalism, and even before capitalism. Rome, founded on slavery, pursued a colonial policy and practised imperialism. But “general” disquisitions on imperialism, which ignore, or put into the background, the fundamental difference between socio-economic formations, inevitably turn into the most vapid banality or bragging, like the comparison: “Greater Rome and Greater Britain.” [5] Even the capitalist colonial policy of previous stages of capitalism is essentially different from the colonial policy of finance capital.

Anglos are terrified of a multipolar world.

Yes lending billions of dollars for infastructure improvements is “bribing leaders”. Lobbying though? That’s democracy.

The thing that was removed from the game, was a lore entry talking about how china has expanded into the “Uyghur, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Mongolia and Siberia” regions, and that the native populations have been decreasing.

The specific names of the territories have been removed, but the snippet still says that china is expanding into indigenous regions and “decreasing” their population.

When Trump got in he deliberately tried to cut any federal resources used to contain hate groups

Looking into this, I found a PolitiFact article that I think is actual doublespeak.

From the conclusion

Buttigieg said, “The Trump Administration cut funding allocated to the Department of Homeland Security to combat white nationalism.”

He points to the $10 million Countering Violent Extremism grant program, which was launched under Obama and not renewed under President Trump. It was meant to last for two years. When it expired in July 2019, Trump >did not renew it. That’s not exactly the same as a “cut.”

However, a group that was slated to get a grant under Obama, Life After Hate, had its grant rescinded under the Trump administration while the program was going on. The group was one of the only ones with expertise on >white nationalism. Overall, most of the grant proposals were focused on Muslims or immigrants, and not white nationalists.

Buttigieg left out part of the story.

We rate this statement Half True.

Like it says that he DID what he was accused of, then just says that it is proof against the accusations.

Nice try, I’m not doxxing myself

I’ve never seen studies or anything about it, but I’m fairly sure that people who lose weight going vegan were overweight to begin with. Rice and beans don’t have less calories than a steak.

But you definitely can just stop eating meat and live more or less the same life. Buy some beans, it turns out they’re cheaper too.

Brother 60% of all mammals on earth are livestock. 36% are people. 96% of mammals are us and the things we torture. This isn’t destroying a wild species existing in an ecosystem, it’s ending a human created abomination.

And they’re all gonna die anyway? Like what should take their place? More pigs that live in crates or an expansion of the ecosystem? ( back to what it was like before we fucked it up)

:yes:
