That doesn't mean we should be uncritical of such rituals, as though coping mechanisms themselves are fully unassailable. Whatever pathology results in someone thinking being smeared on the face of the moon is the best option can be soothed much more cheaply by means that don't involve actually smearing them on the face of the moon, such as therapy.

In the liberal economy we have, we can compare the cost of such an endeavor to the cost of other endeavors -- building hospitals or whatever -- and then consider the respective likely outcomes and ask "Which is preferable?" Wasting money on some stupid vanity project that defaces the last clean surface people get to see is made all the more egregious by the ravages of poverty that we can see down on Earth, and pontificating about "what is the point of anything, rlly?" is just a crass deflection from that fact.

I only recently realized Laika became such "A Thing" for Red Scare reasons. Long before Laika, the macaque named Albert was killed by the US Space program, and the subsequent primates who -- having been denied the dignity of being called something beyond version numbers -- were named Albert II - V, all either died in transit or, in II's case, on impact with the Earth (I think V burnt up on re-entry, but I'm not sure). It was only with Yorick ("Albert VI") that one actually got to breath Earth's air after reaching space, which took place after a pair of Soviet dogs survived their return.

Not that Laika's case wasn't sad, but I think it's comparatively overblown to talk about the Cruel Soviets.

Edit: I feel obliged to acknowledge the irony that the one named Yorick survived where all his predecessors died.

You don't even need to leave the conventional AmLit canon to make a joke of that many times over. I know that you know this, of course, but other people sometimes benefit from these references being posted.

Shut the fuck up, obviously there are Jewish bankers, and Israel and Mossad are real problems, but this isn't medieval Europe, where Jewish bankers were somewhat their own class (due to Christian laws). Separating them from white and other bankers is flat antisemitism and mainly serves to harm Jewish proles, who are our comrades just as much as any other members of the proletariat.

Atlantians were proto whites/proto Faustians

Were they sunk due to a deal with the devil? What the fuck is a "Faustian"?

I am nauseated by the way that this story -- which I don't doubt is true because Mossad and Israel are wretched -- will feed into scapegoating Jews for US problems even more than people already do.

You're really cool and I appreciate you

"It's called the Campaign Against Antisemitism, surely it's an authority on antisemitism. I also go to the National Endowment for Democracy for my democracy news and the Foundation for Economic Education for etc."

It was a deliberate joke, I think

I think you'd probably need to pay reparations for the many decades of time under sanction, and even then it would be foolish of them to accept (and indeed they probably wouldn't). Gaddafi showed them how the US treats its "allies" in the third world.

Also, if you think the US does anything outside of Europe* and the anglosphere** without mobsters, then you probably have US-paid mobsters to blame for the crack you're smoking

*Obviously it also sometimes does things inside Europe with mobsters, see it's longstanding support of a certain neo-nazi paramilitary

**I don't have specific knowledge on this one beyond gangs within the US, but surely, right? The NYPD is a mob and they've got an office in the UK, anyway

Anyone who is still trying to do Bakuninite zingers with no further substantiation can be disregarded out of hand.
