Because you can’t do self-harm. The state would never allow for its own hand to be cut off. Russian assets are from a whole different pool of capitalists.

Except, they don’t. They can’t even keep up with the demand from both Israel and Ukraine. The MIC isn’t spinning up fast enough, and local factory production is almost non-existent. Soon the bark is going to be more than the bite.
Do you like being the global economic superpower with hegemonic influence over the world economy? Because this is a good fucking way to get other nations to tell you and the World Bank to fuck right off. Can’t seize assets that are not part of your banking regime, and this definitely incentivizes de-dollarization.
Could this result in a balkanization effect? Lots of exit talk in the last 10 years (caliexit, texit). Could conditions be reaching similar states that invoked things like The Hartford Convention?
My thinking is there would probably need to be more external intervention for that to a happen. Which I think aligns with history.
So I guess Alex Jones is a legitimate source then.
Working a deckade in retail prepared me for that.
That would be more then I’m willing to spend. I’m basically trying to get around their human verification process. The first thing they demand is a phone number to receive a OTP.
What I did find was a service called smspool.net that let’s you order a non-voip number to receive a OTP for around $0.25. You can rent a phone number if you want but I was able to get the OTP and get through the appeal process.
OK I might have answered my own question. Its likely that the numbers provided to you are VOIP numbers and not “real” numbers.
WhatsApp will not let you use a VOIP number to sign up for their service. Its likely Facebook will not send a code to a VOIP number as well.
Kind of a bummer. I just want to argue with chuds on my local page without giving Facebook my soul lol.
Fat, in my feet? Ridiculous.
Thank goodness for Lemmy am I right?
What a wild quote, I had to read it twice.
I’ve always wanted to find sources of the monarchy calling American revolutionaries terrorists. Maybe that language wasn’t prevalent then.
Did it take you a full week to think of that reply?
I’m sure having a home goes a long way towards improving your mental health when you go without a home for long enough.
Most anti-communism has no basis in reality and often are myths perpetuated by state agencies. All Anti-Capitalist sentiment is rooted in the material realities of our world and life. To deny socialist historical reality is to deny your own history, and ultimately is an admission of your disingenuous support of the truth.
Historical Materialism is truth seeking in practice. It requires you to have a fact based, objective view of our past and present.
Also I don’t know why I would whine, because I’m not using lemmy.ml. That instance can have whatever rules they want. I wouldn’t block or defederate from them because of it either. But if you are not interested in seeking the truth and objectively observing reality, then I guess you can insolate yourself from it and keep your echos.
Do you mean the rule about not being Sinophobic? Is that really a hard rule for you to follow? I like to look at objective reality instead of just barking the same nonsensical shibboleths when the topic of China arises.
I’ve been using gsudo for a long time, its a game changer.
