Do they talk about Trader Joe’s illegal union busting and attempts to get the national labor relations board disbanded ?

Can’t risk taking runtime away from your life partner

Too far.

They earnestly want you and your children to die.

The same logic they’re using to excuse their bloodthirsty dreams. You are exactly like them.

You want discretion for judges so that they can respond to the problems of their era wisely rather than rigidly applying the ideas of another time without nuance

Unless those judges themselves have a fondness for an imaginary "great" time, and will apply their reasoning in a way that just happens to fit their ideology.

Law is either rigorous or it's not. When I'm told that the law is against me but gosh darn it the law is the law, I grow resentful of the "discretion" reserved for some but not others.

There’s no eliminating humans from human civilization. No risk no fun.

Shhh, snitch

Occupy did not fail, it successfully shifted the entire national political conversation of the United States toward considerations of the class warfare being waged by the wealthy against the general population in ways that are continuing to publicly echo in campaigns and policy discussion ever since

The fact they get brought up in such conversations still is proof of that, however i would counter that they failed in their main stated objectives and were dismantled, beaten, even ridiculed in public for it. They became a stark reminder that the rich are far too powerful.

Ridicule is part of the process of folding a series of ideas into mainstream thought

Didn’t have to do that either Japan would’ve capitulated. But cute to dredge up old excuses for mass killing.

An invasion by US forces was planned, with expected US losses to dwarf those on Normandy by an order of magnitude. Japanese losses would dwarf those, in turn.

The invasion likely would have been stalled, and the alternate plan was blockade of the islands to interdict food supplies, and Hirohito is on the record after the war as saying he feared a Lord of the Flies-style mass breakdown of society after famine.

But the reason an invasion was planned rather than waiting for starvation was that Stalin was planning to invade. I.e, if the US had been OK with Japan's ending up in the Soviet orbit, both a nuclear attack and an invasion could have been avoided.

There are all sorts of reasons why Hokkaido or all of Japan ending up in the Soviet orbit would have been a Very Bad Thing.

Im not sure Japan would have surrendered. The real question is: why was total surrender the only acceptable outcome to the FDR admin? To the point that mass killing civilians was preferred over a negotiated peace.

How do we know that underground testing has little consequences if all the sites are national security zones. What we do know is that the underground geology is likely permanently compromised, at least within any meaningful time frame, and all nearby aquifers and other water deposits are poisoned for all intents and purposes into the distant future. These tests are ecological horrors that are unnecessary and destructive.

The description of the mesentery as a single organ dates to the time of Da Vinci, at the latest.

Neither Japan nor Korea are in SE Asia

Damn, I goofed, thanks for calling that out. Can't edit the comment anymore unfortunately.

People didn’t hate DOS it just was what it was
