Yep. And it is an easy one to test. Just immobilize the bike’s steering and see how well you can get it to balance.

People who drop these kinds of memes still think warfare is carried out and progresses like it did in the Napoleonic era: two orderly opposed fronts clashing head-to-head in theaters with well-defined boundaries - where the adversary with more guns/people/resources win. Because more guns/people directly equates to military power, right?

These folks would do well to spend even the slightest amount of time learning about fourth generational, guerilla war.

Let’s take this meme back a couple hundred years and cast OP as a counter revolutonary American at the onset of the revolutonary war.

/*Wants to have muskets to fend off british empire

/*british empire:

Starts to seem silly when you realize even our founding fathers were doing guerilla warfare not long ago.

Nah man, you definitely want a deal on a Lime scooter rental even though you’re 500 miles from the nearest one.

Their villainous gunmen versus our trained soldiers.

They are really laying it on thick with the passive voice.

Show me where the entire Russian military leadership was saying similar shit.

1. sustained elevated heartbeat is what gets you into shape. Aim for long slow runs over erratic runs with walking mixed in.

2. if you are doing this as a lifestyle thing, I commend you. If you are an early riser, 5am runs are the way to go. However, find a running schedule that is sustainable. If you find yourself struggling to keep at the morning runs, adjust your schedule into one that allows you to be routine.

Best of luck

Do you understand what living conditions were like before the revolution? Socialism took an agrarian society and catapulted it into one that won the space race. Literaracy, food output, lifespan all increased during socialism, and they deteriorated again once the USSR devolved back into capitalism.

And they were right to try. Trujillo was a monster.

Edit: and also the invasion catalyzed the assassination of Trujillo

Regulatory agencies have been captured, scotus is corrupt, women’s rights have been taken, the largest industries are enriching a miniscule handful of Americans, fascism is increasingly coming into style and our noble democrats have only just started a new grand strategy of… name calling?

Forget about getting people fed, using the new immunity ruling, stacking courts, or any serious material change for Americans. We are fucked.

I mean, the $200 does encourage me to create a monopoly and simultaneously extract maximum wealth from my opponents while also taking their homes. Not sure if the monopoly analogy is useful here.

UBI is capitalists’ best attempt at breathing life into capitalism. The benefits of UBI in the global north would still be at the expense of exploitation in the global south.

Bruh, you literally just linked to a paragraph that makes the claim that the idea of a three-day conquest came purely out of American and Ukrainian speculation. This is exactly what I’m saying, save for that one Lukashenko quote.

I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about the invasion, but I am going to call you out for sheisty implied quotes. Any reasonable and adequately uninformed person would read your “three day war” comment in response to a comment chain about putin and assume you were talking about putin. You deserve to get called out for that. It’s misleading and disingenuous.

Oh my bad, for some strange reason I had assumed you were talking about Putin in a comment chain devoted to talking about Putin.

Show me where Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I am not claiming democracy led to Israeli zionism. I am claiming that liberalism did.

Make no mistake: I am not attempting to conflate democracy and capitalism. I am making the claim that the two are incompatible. If anyone is trying to conflate capitalism and democracy, it is you.

I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about how democratic Israel is, but it’s clear to anyone with a basic understanding of liberalism that Israel is indeed a country based on liberalism values.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basic_Law:_Human_Dignity_and_Liberty&diffonly=true

The values espoused in Israeli basic law are textbook liberalism:

• protection of private property
• protection of personal liberties
• freedom of movement
• Supreme rule of law
• guarantees of no violations of enshrined rights

Israel is a textbook liberal state, and its withering down to fascism has already been predicted by leftist theory. Make a venn diagram of the values espoused in Israel’s basic laws and values promoted in classic liberalism, and you have a circle.

Try to understand the article i referenced earlier, which is the crux of my argument. Liberalism enables fascism.

Funny how the points in your middle paragraph could just as easily be applied to America.

Israeli zionist fascism is the result of Liberal democracy both in Israel, America, and beyond.

If you think the issue lies in one bombastic and opportunistic president, and not our deity-like elevation of these lifetime-appointed robed clerics who are the only ones we entrust to interpret the constitution as if they have some divine patriotism, then you have been oriented by the democratic party away from what would otherwise be discontentment with the political system, and instead against the republican party which, as it just so happens, makes you fall in line with the democratic party and their fundraising strategies. The democrats desperately want you to ignore the gaping insecurities, volatility, and exploitation in our political system and instead instill a fear of Republicans.

Trump merely saw how easy it’d be to capture our judicial system that was devised by 20 year old white slavers only 4 generations ago. He correctly identified how the Supreme law of the land is all based on a flimsy interpretation of the honor system: we appoint justices for life and basically just trust them to play nice for their entire tenure without provisions to deal with judicial capture. It’s honestly a miracle we’ve gotten this far without more judges being captured.

What kind of thinking is this? That it’s better to lose as long as you have the moral high ground? Maybe that thinking works for little league, but not when healthcare, women’s rights, and climate are on the line.

“Sure the fascist uprising happened in record time, but at least we put it on the record that the fascists have occasional issues with intellectual honesty!”

Only in the liberal mindset does intellectual honesty come with more primacy than physically protecting people who are actually vulnerable.

The fact that it appears we are 1 or 2 years away from door-to-door gestapo visits, and liberals are still circle jerking about their epic, pragmatic, civil, patriotic, “play by the rules” mindset, means we are most likely doomed.

Are body cams really providing justice? Where is Sonya’s justice? Hailing body cams as the ultimate police reform is the type of thing I’d expect a cop to say. For people who have been experiencing this racist police violence for generations, it’s clear that body cams are at best a half measure, and at worst a means of documenting all of the brutal murders that pigs continue to carry out on innocent people while body cams are running. The answer isn’t in body cams, but in comprehensive police reform. So long as the pigs are running around with sus norse tattoos, toxic masculinity (“nah im good” -cop who just developed a tremor in has hand after holding in the brains of a gasping woman for 5 min), guaranteed firearms, no psychological training, gang support via departments, body cams aren’t really going to do shit to protect at-risk people.

I am very critical of this ultra pro body cam discourse. It seems like a distraction. Make no mistake, there is no justice today because of the body cams present for Sonya’s execution.
