I'm sure she's just awful as we're all imagining, but isn't it pretty well impossible to casevac somebody from these high altitude climbs once you get within a certain distance to the summit?
Edit: To clarify, this doesn't absolve the expedition of their culpability in this man's death, in that he clearly had no business being on that mountain and clearly wasn't properly vetted, likely because they wanted a mule and weren't concerned with the particulars
It really is just a beautiful place, it's a pity I'll likely never get to visit
Which would be nonsense even if the operation hadn't been a debacle. Final reports on US and UK bombing campaigns after the war identified strikes on German transit infrastructure as having had the greatest meaningful impact on their military performance. This was corroborated by the Germans themselves I believe. Strikes on factories of any kind were seen as having only limited efficacy.
I got called a Russian bot today for telling a dude he was wrong about why the US dropped the bombs. It's beyond being a lib thing anymore I think, it's just an all-purpose ego defense mechanism now
Oh, naturally. It raised my eyebrows too the first time I learned of the Bolsheviks doing it, and I'd like to read more about it. Might help understand why the CPC took a similar course. Of course, Chinese sources would be better for that, but I haven't the faintest idea where to find them, much less in English.
I see what you're getting at, but even the Bolsheviks formed a broad front with liberals, no? Not that that's a wholly comparable situation, but I'm sure the Party has its reasons, even if we aren't privvy to them.
I'd be willing to bet that you haven't. With the dumb shit you've been saying, I like my odds. You're living proof that leftist politics without historical education is nothing more than aesthetics and pedantry. You're impotent, and if you had your way the left would never advance. After all, if it did, you'd actually have to do something other than posturing and pointlessly arguing with people.
You clearly don't know a damn thing about socialism that you didn't learn from breadtube
Xi isn't China lib, and quit using the word fascism until you learn what it actually means
You've got nothing here dude, take the L. You're clearly ignorant of what AES actually looks like historically, how it's formed, how it responds to pressures and challenges. You're just going by this vague, largely aesthetic conception of what socialism looks like, that you probably got from some youtuber that call themself a libertarian socialist or some other such incoherent shit, and you're castigating a real socialist governmemt attempting to reckon with the real world because they haven't waved a magic wand and enacted your asinine Disneyland version of socialism.
Not so. The people who actually produce media (actors, writers, production crew) rarely if ever see fair compensation or residuals for their work. The only people you're stealing from are the people who already stole the value that the actual creators generated, i.e. the studio. And in my opinion, you can't rob a thief anyway.
This logic doesn't hold with smaller and/or independent projects, which even the saltiest pirates acknowledge should be payed for in the usual manner.
Edit: Your point about compensation doesn't even have a completely factual basis. Numerous scientific and medical advancements throughout history have been produced without compensation, often because their creators intentionally declined to profit from them. Sir Banting is a favored example around here; he was one of the first to synthesize insulin, and he and his colleagues opted not to patent it so that it would be as widely available as possible.
