No, no…God no.

I meant the left have to compromise with me.

You ran out of rum didn’t you James?

Oh ok, my bad.

Its always been cold-reading with props. I respect him just going for it though.

I’m sure I’m thinking of a flack jacket with an extra plate of kevlar or metal ( a bullet proof vest).

It’ll probably react badly with all the heroin and barbs they take out there

To me, the most influential contribution in the last few decades would be “Capitalist realism: is there any alternative?”

Its very heavily influenced by Marx but it’s more like a philosophical intervention where I would see das kapital as more of a historical intervention. As in “erm no, this is the story of how we got here” (das kapital). Although, there’s plenty of philosophy of course. Its only about 5 pages long and there’s free readings of it on YouTube.

Although, imo, the real origin story of capitalism covered in das kapital, on a national scale, is something everyone should be much more aware of.

Tbf, those things have always been for stopping shrapnel and keeping your insides on the inside, if you do get shot.

They were never made to stop assault rifle rounds, even from the kind of distances intended for assault rifles.

And it ain’t what it ain’t.

“Well, that’s just how it is”

Person attempting to justify an injustice they also suffer, without even a thought about whether it being “how it is” might actually be connected to all the people saying dumb stuff like “Well, that’s just how it is.”

Not something I’d recommend, personally

I prefer brandy

You mean like how Butcher from “the boys” sounds like a kiwi mimicking all the accents from a Guy Ritchie movie at the same time.

After that, things get more complicated.

Thats certainly one possible explanation for why Americans chose to simplify the spelling of the words they use.

I’d say that’s the fundamental tenet of remaining one.

Nothing cures Christianity like reading the bible with even the mildest of assumptions that God’s moral reasoning might be, at best, somewhat to be desired.

Of course he won’t. Otherwise all that money spent on buying him would be for nothing.

Positively famished, myself

Nope, I had no idea. I’m not American. In fact, I don’t even know who you’re referring to as “R.”

But I thought about how I would feel if it was me and I through, yeah, I’d feel pretty silly but I’d also be happy about being wrong.

I just thought it would be fair to them to mention it.

It sounds bad though, whatever it is. That definitely came across.

Still, I imagine they’re pretty happy about being wrong.

Nope, come on man are you kidding me (?) and disagree again.

I agree that maybe you can’t but that doesn’t make it true or not. The last Conservative government of great Britain showed themselves to be utterly corrupted by greed and capitalism. They didn’t even have to pretend not to rip the entire country off during the covid pandemic.

Even then, its not “more” or less than the US. My point is just that capitalism corrupts all governments, to one extent or another, because its incompatible with democracy.

If there is a top, in terms of money or having things etc., then it isn’t communism.
