The whole response is here. I’d say decent is a strong word for it honestly.

The ndp statement is good enough only by comparison to the depravity of the Liberals and especially Conservative statements. They do point out oil being the motivating factor, but fail to link it to any broader critique of capitalism or even just the US. Instead they come out with the ol’ Trump-Putler axis of evil spin :

Trump’s declaration that US oil companies are going to take over Venezuelan oil production reveals the true motive for this attack: seizure of some of the largest oil reserves in the world. Apologists for this blatant violation of the UN Charter by the US can spin all they want - but this is clearly illegal, hypocritical and dangerous.

Maybe this reveals why Trump has been so hesitant to hold Putin to account for his invasion of Ukraine. The US can have no credibility upholding international law and the rights of nations when it blatantly violates those principles itself.

Of all the historical situations and incidents for which to pull from to illustrate American hypocrisy, this is what they pick. Only being compared to Carney’s total nothing response, or Poillevre being a sockpuppet for American Republicanism, can the NDP look slightly ok.

Read his biography here. Highly recommend it, his described treatment at the hands of the GDR as a political refugee and subsequent integration into their society helped show me what life was like there beyond the usual propaganda.

I’m not saying it has to be limited to only neurons, but until there’s a way to test whether or not entire ecosystems can have a consciousness like ours then I am skeptical of these claims

Neurons have a specific electrical function and interconnection that we can demonstrate experimentally.

Scolding victims of capitalist greed sucks

Not surprising that the UCP sharpened their knives against the teachers first seeing as how they are the one union that has the power to affect indirectly all other workplaces.

I didn’t get off the starting planet in the first game. Does the second game suck too?

And I’m guessing inflation in Australia since their last raise has been way more than 4 percent too.

Sam Borghese, another one of Atre’s former employees, testified that his multimillionaire boss had created a hostile, fear-based work environment. Though Borghese reportedly had a friendly relationship with Atre, he said Atre would also withhold his employees’ paychecks , yell at them and fire them if he felt disrespected. Borghese also told the court that Lindsay and Kaleb Charters performed manual labor on Atre’s farm from sunrise to sunset for nearly two weeks, KRON-TV said.

After Lindsay and Kaleb Charters finally received their paychecks, they reportedly told Borghese that they needed a break since the work was so intense. Once the two of them left, Atre discovered that the keys to one of his farm trucks was missing, and he bounced the checks, the outlet said.

When Lindsay and Kaleb Charters argued with Atre about their paychecks, their boss told them that they had wasted his time and that “he was worth thousands of dollars an hour — because he makes millions — so anyone who wastes his time is costing money,” Borghese reportedly told the court. Atre then offered the two of them new paychecks for $1,400, but on one condition: They had to perform 300-500 pushups.

How can it ever be illegal to kill someone like this.

Researchers said they named the new species after the Thai word “chaofa” which “signifies a royal princess of the Thai monarchy.”

We just met these bugs and are already insulting them

One easy trick to attract labour in a market: raise the wage of labour.

Lets be clear that US generals vaporised nagasaki and Hiroshima not because they really cared about some kind of revenge for Japanese imperial occupations, butmore so due to Soviet advances near Manchuria and fears of a potentially USSR aligned Japan. (Among other reasons but I have to rewatch that 6 hour long Shaun video to refresh my memory.)

So I do have sympathy for civilian deaths during war brought on to some extent by American anti communist geopolitics.

What if the two guys in this story both just shoot each other and then the factory can be run by the people who work in it and produce all the value

Yeah stupid people with gambling addiction should be poorer too. That’ll show em

Let me say this politely, dude.

This wasn’t even a disagreement on some finer point of historiography. You literally didn’t even know there have been multiple invasions of the USSR. If you are an American, I can excuse the poor education.

Know where you are at. You are ignorant of history. Evidently you realise this and are cowed. But if you have no time for me, have some time for yourself, and examine your ignorance of basic historical facts.

It is still unclear what you’re referring to. So are you talking about the first or second war in which the USSR was faced with an existential threat and extermination?

The war? Which war? what are you even talking about, what’s your point

Because Baldwin killed his own cinematographer, due to his wanting to hire scabs for his film production and the resulting breakdown of basic safety protocol on his set.

You can find anecdotes about the whole production of course, but the most egregious was obviously production hiring a newbie for 2 roles that should always be split up - armourer and prop master.

If I remember correctly, Baldwin was not only a producer on the film, but also the owner of the production company. Even still in this shit-hole capital world, when you hire someone you are responsible for making sure they are competent, especially when handling firearms is integral to their duties.

This is supposed to be part of the often crowed risk capitalists take when they get to exploit others for profit. But Baldwin and co. did not ensure competency, booted all competent IATSE members off site, and Halyna Hutchins died shortly after in the pursuit of capital’s monstrous bloody profits. Now Baldwin gets to totally shirk the risk off to his unqualified hire and whoever else deemed a good target.

Baldwin is an example of a social murderer. Usually the victims are far removed from the glass offices these types mostly live in, but in Baldwin’s case she was right in front of him.

If you ask me, the focus mostly on Baldwin is unfortunate, because the whole group of producers should potentially be facing jail time.
