Cass Eris (cognitive psychologist, succdem/liberal) has a playlist going through the book. She brushes part of outright accepts some anti-communist horseshit, but those should be obvious to you when she does. Other than that, she shows that holding JPB to any reasonable academic standard is a futile endeavour, from sharing information from his patients doing little to protect their identity to making absurd propositions and comparisons all with little to no citations. She also makes it a point to point out all the Freudian and Jungian poppycock Beterson has incorporated into his work.

It's a lot of videos averaging 40 mins so you could limit yourself to 1-3 rules and probably still be far more in-depth than your friend. I don't suggest trying to go through the whole thing quickly, Dr. B's work is quite frequently a mindfuck to think about with any depth, far too much quackery to take at face value.

And the next one of course.

This is not a case of Trump having done bad things and Biden doing nothing. An analogue is if trump were firing a minigun on a bunch of people, he left office, Biden took over and resumed firing.

Also, sanctions by the richest country in history need to be proven to have adverse effects on the imposed in the same way the theory of gravity needs to be proven again: only flat earth type loonies need it so it's merely an exercise, not an academic necessity.

Ebil sissypea making hardworking bosses pay their parasite employees after closing the shutters. (they didn't even take the risk) This would never happen in free^TM^ countries, where you're allowed to not pay the proles for a year, sell off all the company assets and pocket the difference. Obviously the individuals clever enough to defraud their employees, who have no recourse, should be rewarded.

It's irritating that we won't get to see Biden fail to string up sentences together on the debate in September, but I'm far more annoyed at how quickly all the morons trying to get people to vote for a corpse turned around to sing a different tune. Previously people who didn't want to support a zionist zombie were against democracy or whatever the fuck, now Biden is laudable for realising his flesh will have fallen off by November.

You are absolutely correct, picking stats and indices in alignment with our views isn't something communists are immune to. We're nevertheless decent at it.

This post is an indication of that. OP's proposition is that western media says Chinese markets aren't attractive to investment, and that the FDI index shows otherwise. This holds up, and here's the description of the index:

The FDI confidence index is calculated as a weighted average of the number of high, medium, and low responses to questions regarding the likelihood of making a direct investment in the market over the next three years. Values are calculated on a scale of 0 to 3, with 3 being the highest level of confidence in a market for Foreign Direct Investment, and 0 being the lowest level of confidence.

Biggest reason, I can still use Boost after the api shit. If I were forced to use a browser or shudder the official app, I wouldn't even consider it.

Most of my scrolling I do here, my Reddit use had become more specific even before I became more active on the 'grad. I don't use twitter or any other social media, so Reddit is my only source of news on the series and mangas I follow.

For my part I don't use the wider Lemmy either. I've got 2 subscriptions from hexbear and that's it. Other instances feel like knock-off Reddit so I don't browse them for the same reasons I haven't browsed r/all in years.

This idiot really is pissing herself that she'll be governed by Labour aristocrats instead of blue blooded Etonian pig fuckers. Worst case scenario, TERF island will saunter into the sea instead of actively sinking, more likely nothing will change.

All this needs is to make the indigenous person a golden eagle, may not be such a direct relation to the supposed ancient ancestors but certainly more of a descendant than a lizard.

I hope the Tories don't stop coming up with policies just because they've been relegated to the shadow cabinet, otherwise sir Keir might not know what to do and accidentally enact something half decent once a year.

Huh. Must be a day that ends with y.

No one can really make an argument that  the Iranians don’t know about the unit. Iran’s intelligence doesn’t need a public webpage to know about U.S. forces operating in Israel. So the only ones who are kept in the dark are  the American people, who don’t have the luxury of an intelligence service (or a functional and informative news media) to tell them what’s going on. Americans who, poll after poll demonstrates, care deeply about what’s happening in Israel and their government’s role in it.

Propaganda isn't for the enemies, it's domestic. You keep Rome stable so you can fight your imperialistic wars in peace. It's hard to fill your coffers under scrutiny.

At great cost I presume, this sort of thing can't be cheap
