I never said that she wasn't ridiculous for blaming China. She is.

Not to mention that China wants to build thousands of these reactors all over the country, and even send them out to dozens of countries as a start, and China will be able to power their entire country for 20,000 years.
She at least criticized capitalism, and part of me doubts that she was always a flytrap.
Aren't scientists testing alterations to mosquito populations to see if this is possible?
That's an insult to worms. Worms have a necessary role in the environment and clean up trash and detritus.
I get the sentiment, but I don't think anti-tankies should be left unconfronted.
Anti-"tankies" barely hide their racism anymore. Most anti-tankies are cowardly neoliberals (I repeat myself) that need bullets in their heads, if they can't be reformed.
Their levels of racism, gaslighting, minimizing, projection, annoyance, false equivalency, and laziness drives my anger to a boil that makes the Planck-Temperature look like fucking ice cream-absolute zero with a douse of liquid nitrogen by comparison.
Do you have any reading about the KGB finding torture to be a poor method? I'd love to read their findings. I trust the other agencies about as much as a drink from Bill Cosby, but given that they are all intelligence agencies with similar findings, that gives them credence.
I'm of the opinion that torture isn't completely ineffective. Its definitely not as effective as Hollywood or the Amerikkkan military likes to pretend, and as you said, it can harden the victim or lead to them saying anything to get out of the situation.
I also know that the Soviets didn't torture people as widely as most anti-communists believe, and I do agree that torture is very abhorrent, and while I can respect the moral and practical arguments against it, I think that completely disavowing torture is almost as big a mistake as using it whenever you want all willy-nilly.
Some scientific papers do note that torture can be effective in certain contexts, and torturing enemies for information is probably a multiple-millennia old tradition, and I find it very hard to believe that it would be kept in practice if it wasn't useful at least some of the time.
That's a fair point, but aside from reading their articles, I don't know much about them.
I would argue that its not paranoia if there really are people after us, working visibly and in the shadows.
I don't have an answer, but I hope the point fleawar is making is that we have to build something on our own.
Even if not technically accurate, I think Dugin is closer to fascism than anything else, and I don't take much issue with that description of him. I haven't seen any examples of him walking back statements.
