Aren't futures made exactly for this purpose
Are the oil futures guys making a killing in the market? I've not followed the stonks crowd for a while.

Eh, I sort of agree with you but 4chan has its own version (could be argued from the reddit influx) of (You)s and image replies. One's own thread receiving invective or positive shitposting is also a form of this.

As much as upboats can be farmed or warp the discussion to a popularity context, I think they serve a useful purpose. The ratio of lurkers to posters in all sites has always been lopsided in the favor of lurkers, and yet if we had no voting system these people's opinions would go unseen. The field would be dominated by those determined enough to wax lyrical at length. The upvotes serve a useful feedback system, if we are to have any discourse at all it would be meaningful to gauge the audience's reception to our arguments.
What could be done to make it a little bit more interesting is have a personal invisible tagging that the user picks. Could be a multi-axis affinity designation. The user's tags/afinity would be only visible to themselves and the backend. Then then "updoots" would also be collated so publically you would be able to see (received 10 updoots from conservatives, 5 downvotes from conservatives, 3 upvotes from progs, 7 downvotes from progs) etc. etc.
I'm not sure what the UI spec would be for this. But it would ameliorate the loss of information a raw number like 16 bears.

would a 1926 communist describe a world where hunger essentially isn't a concern, the common man having access to healthcare that was beyond the reach of emperors at the time, yada, yada, yada?
Were those 1926 communists true believers in fixing the plight of the common worker or were those causes instrumental memes to get the masses on his side. Because if they were anything like the modern champagne socialists they wouldn't be. They pay lip service to the workers of the world even as they hate everything about them.

Those are "black americans" and are a distinct group from eg. Somali Americans or Indians who have come to the US. Whether each group is part of McAmerica ™ is up to personal interpretation. In my opinion Japanese/Chinese/Korean americans get much more of a right to claim to be American than random Indians or Somalis. The US was not a proposition nation and it should not be in the future either.

Politely: quit it. "Americans" are not a race or ethnicity. They just aren't.
The first step to destroying something is to deny its existence. Like it or not, there is a certain quality mix of ex-european immigrants that could be called American by ethnicity, I'm sure there would be a wide range of genetic mixes some more pure, some more mixed, but you can't just handwave them away. They fit all the criteria for an ethnos, a shared religion, founding myth and blood relation.

Testosterone injections and mandatory communist waifus, then you might be able to put the average male communist on track. And no Hasan Piker doesn't count, hes a nepo baby "influencer" and for a split second I don't believe a word coming out of his mouth.

I kinda agree with you, but I like the upcummies too much, pwning noobs and taking names assess

In Washington DC, Polymarket just opened the world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation.
So you can literally go to a bar to scream "it's happening" while getting draunched in beer? Nice.

The ideology behind this isn’t even found in Albanian blood feuds, which have some measure of honorable proportionality. This is like African Warlord moral reasoning, or ISIS reasoning.
Welcome to Israel's realpolitik, they would love for nothing less than the states around them capable of giving them real grief to be open-air slave market hellholes filled with starvation and suffering, and bibi (if he's even alive) wouldn't bat an eye at the inhumanity.

out-played by people you view your inferiors, IE the normie populist right.
If you mean zionist elements in his close political orbit then sure. Normiecons didn't outplay shit, they dance to the same tune, but that's pretty much it.

Not unless we solve full self flying airplanes able to over-ride the pilots commands on a computer whim. And I don't trust the likes of Boeing not to fuck it up.

They believe in a future free from infectious disease
Yeah, well, I don't. Their whole field of study needs to be nixed and made illegal.

They could always just completely axe the TSA.

The rot starts from the head. The more orwelian a govt program or sub-unit is named the more I'm inclined to axe it whole. Same reason why the dept of defense should be officially renamed back to the dept of war.

Not only should other countries not have the level of control Israel have, but Israel specifically should be punished for previous wrong doings in having less influence than the rest.

I would if there were any other countries with that level of control over the US government and media.

I really would like to know exactly what you believe Israel is doing wrong here and why.
Having any influence at all.

Israel doesn't have bunker busters, also the US has better Navy and Air capabilities. That's about it. It's also blatantly obvious to outside observers it's Israel calling the shots and Trump/The US playing along. The harder they deny it the more hilarious it becomes. This whole thing is one of the main pillars Trump ran on, promising no more wars in the sandbox. If it were up to Trump himself this wouldn't be happening.

you are deceived by appearances, you think that these are family members who have links with you, but this body is not really you, it's like a suit of clothes you put on and take off. In your last life, who were all these people to you? In your next life, who are all these people to you? Only the body dies, the soul lives on, so you are not killing anyone and they are not killing you, the real you. The only lasting real thing is the Dharma".
I wish people who believed this stuff unironically would announce themselves irl so that I may completely cut them off of my life and be maximally opposed to any of their endeavors or projects.
For me it is family and blood above all including notions of country or religion/law. Only when the safety and interests of your family are secure would you have the luxury of following more general ideologies.

No matter how good nuke interceptors get, you can never defend vs purposefully created tsunamis by nukes.

is just buggered thanks to consistent GPS jamming over the ME.
Aren't jammers a big glowing flare saying "bomb here". Why aren't GPS jammers dealt with a swift cruise missile to the face?

You're not wrong, it's a post WW2 western based Memeplex, in some parts of the west where the post WW2 consensus had less power even that sort of notion is not really established (Center/Eastern Europe)

communist means
There's nothing particularly communist in those means. Those are just totalitarian means.
Are you sure? Every time the PATRIOT Act comes up for renewal suddenly congress can find a way to agree on something all the while calling eachother every dirty name under the sun for other stuff.
