I really with the stigma of tv shows being "cheap" would just die so that film makers could make 10 hour long episodes of a show instead of making a 3 hour movie that feels rushed. Or maybe just have 10 hour movies that have intermission breaks so you don't have to watch the credits and "previously" every time.

...And then one day 72 trillion disappeared. There was no more news and fukuyamover came out with a statement. "I was wrong before but NOW history is over."

The little green one needs some work. He is looking at the other students for verification instead of the instructor. If he looked the other way he'd probably put his hands in the wrong spot like the one on the far right who is smiling too big.

I doubt even a majority of the public are zionists whereas 100% of politicians are.

The majority of Americans are apolitical/politically illiterate and even more are unconcerned with geo-politics.

Its like looking for a vegan butcher. Just because vegans exist as a percentage of the population you can't expect them to be represented in that percentage of all occupations.

AIPAC is just a special interest under the Military Industrial Complex Lobby. They are more vocal than most and they get more media time but their influence is overstated in comparison to the arms manufactures.

Israel is a bipartisan American imperialist project supporting it is like supporting the troops. Support for American imperialism is a requirement for being elected in America. There are a few exceptions and they are usually only in word and not in deed.

Carry a TV. People will think you stole it so they wont be thinking about what you are anxious about.

Maybe he is a smart guy and maybe he has read a ton of theory but I feel that he jumps to conclusions without laying his ground work. He follows that with poor responses to criticism and petty bickering with anyone who disagrees with him. He spends lots of effort to tell people he thinks their ideas are wrong without addressing the ideas themselves and why they are or are not wrong. In my limited exposure to him I have come to see him as a show boater and I get the distinct impression he thinks that he is far more intelligent than he is.

I have read some stuff and it feels like he decides what he wants and then makes up the reasoning and arguments after. That's bad dialectics.

Marx started with the most basic idea and expounded bit by bit, then he put each layer on top of that and made sure it was all lined up before moving on to the next one. This is why the first few chapters of Kapital are so hard, not because they are complex but because they are so stupidly simple it is like watching paint dry but if you don't start at the beginning and work with those stupidly simple ideas you aren't building on a solid foundation. If you don't make sure everything is lining up as you go your gonna realize shit isn't square.

The specific Roderic Day that really bothered me failed at this. Early on he makes a statement as if it is axiomatic and it didn't sit right with me. I reread it again because maybe I misunderstood and it still rang false. He didn't reference where the idea came from or even explain it he just expect me to take it as "truth." I tried to push past that and before I'm even through the opening I realize he is hanging part or the entirety of his thesis on that point that he just pulled out of his ass that doesn't resonate with what I know.

I don't think he understands what he is implying either. Roderic day is a bit of a clown from what I have seen of him. Maybe he does good work occasionally but I've never seen it and can't be bothered looking through the below average ranting to find any hidden gems.

The 2 quotes have nothing to do with each other one is shipwreck doing analysis which may or may not be influenced by Hudson's writing. The other is a mediocre takedown of Hudson as a person without any real analysis of his actual opinions. I don't really see how the second post is even "actualy anti-capitalist" its just "antihudson"

This is how the OGs play. But usually its Jolt cola and junk food instead of booze.
