  • I will be depressed. I will be sad. I will be angry. I will blow up at liberals and conservatives.

    Oh, you meant about Trump?

    Trump will begin implementing some policies from Project 2025, especially around restrictions surrounding abortion/reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, and immigration/refugee policies.

    You’ll also see a reversal of many of the good Biden-era domestic achievements surrounding labour and consumer protections (maybe by gutting the NLRLB, but that may be a longer term project) and definitely getting rid of Lina Khan.

    More Trump-appointed judges at the lower levels, even if not at the Supreme Court (within the six-month timeframe) and beginning the process of staffing federal agencies with Trump loyalists.

    Begin the rollback of EPA and environmental standards, maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.

    Probably some more stuff too.









  • You don’t have to imagine. Without Mao, China would be like India.

    They both had been through a century or more of oppression and/or colonization resulting in the complete destruction of their economy, literacy, health etc. In 1947 and 1949, they were in very similar conditions.

    And look at the difference between the two since then.

    So, you don’t have to imagine. The world would be worse off. Now, if you had a Red India…

    Answer: Nothing.

    Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has passed a non-binding resolution every year, except for 2020, condemning the ongoing impact of the embargo and declaring it in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law. Israel is the only country that routinely joins the U.S. in voting against the resolution. Other countries that voted against the resolution in the past include Romania in 1992, Albania and Paraguay in 1993, Uzbekistan from 1995 to 1997, Marshall Islands from 2000 to 2007, Palau from 2004 to 2009 then once in 2012, and Brazil in 2019. 187 countries voted in favor of the resolution in 2024, with only the United States and Israel voting against it and Moldova abstaining.

    If it is a violation for the Charter, then fucking do something you goddamn libs.
