US & Israel oppose entire world in UN vote to end Cuba blockade
  • Yes, a controlled dismantlement would be better than collapse, and proletarian revolution would be best, but currently there's not much prospects for either of those, so:

    “There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” ― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

    People overestimate the percentage of immigrants in their country
  • That's different question though on the census, about nationality of Polish citizens. Most of numbers of minorities with citizenship in Poland are Polish minorities who were born in Poland. Like Silesians who are not even officially considered minority and still half million of them wrote that in (in reality there's at probably around a million of them since once the census bureau included them despite government not wanted to admit them at all). And even let's say Polish Germans, Belorussians and Ukrainians (at least those 80000 mentioned in this census) are also living here for generations due to how frequently borders changed in last two centuries.

    Polish state is also relentlessly engaging in polonisation of minorities since 1918.

    There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?
  • Under capitalism it would be laughably easy to circumvent, and even in premise it is flawed because it would only target the small number of top CEO's.

    The truly rich does not even recive wages.

  • This does not count Ukrainians for Poland though, even for 2022 before war there were much more of them than 2%, possibly as many as 3 million and that went up in years included here.

  • "Blinken said" is not an evidence. We all seen how much is his word worth when he blocked recognition of human rights violation in Palestine that would stop US weapon shipments. His mouth is a septic tank and people were hanged in Nuremburg for less.

    Third is definitely me. But i don't think there could be any level of fondness for cats that could even be described as "excessive"

    Former KKK Leader David Duke Endorses Jill Stein
  • You quoted the wrong part in summary, should be this one:

    Stein said she rejected the endorsement from Duke.

    "A racist troll has 'endorsed' our campaign to draw attention to himself, and certain smear merchants are happy to platform this troll to attack us," Stein wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    "Of course I reject any 'endorsement' from a white supremacist like David Duke, unlike Kamala Harris who can't stop bragging about her endorsement from white supremacist mass murderer Dick Cheney."

    www.afr.com Hit on Chinese balloon was F-22’s first air-to-air strike

    The airstrike was the first time the fighter jet had brought down an aircraft since the plane debuted in combat in Syria and Iraq almost a decade ago.

    How heroic, that surely paid off all those billions.
