How much truth is in this statement ? : Fascism is Communism with religion

racocn8 comments on Mar 22, 2023:

What truth do you see in that statement?? Both fascism and communism have leveraged religion when they thought it could be used to their advantage. To the extent that religion is embraced by any political system, as favor is (unfairly) doled out to the loyal, fascism and oligopoly prosper. At least Communism takes the position that disadvantaged citizens should receive help and that the wealthy should be dethroned. Capitalism has no comparable ethics. Both systems COMPLETELY ignore the real benefactor (and threat) to Humanity, that being Technology. Both systems seem incapable of recognizing, much less stopping the corruption that infects them.

Fascinating Geology on Mars: Deep Fractures and Water-Carved Valleys: [scitechdaily.com]

racocn8 comments on Mar 21, 2023:

A number of websites provide a link to a photo from the Mars Surveyor mission, and make the claim that this photo depicts trees or some sort of life form. My initial examination of this image did persuade me that further investigation was warranted. I began to survey the other images available in the series. These images are certainly interesting and worthy of perusal, but it is regrettably apparent that the claim that Mars has “trees” as depicted on e1701475 is mistaken. The "trees" are the strangely shaped discolorations that appear to develop at the top of huge dunes. The discoloration seems to fall from the crest of the dunes onto down-wind slopes. But, what makes the discoloration, and why is it only along the crests of the dunes?

The Chinese economy has been stumbling due to the effects of Covid and bad planning. One pundit said that China would like access to the Chinese population of women on Taiwan because of the one-child policy effects. That, and stealing the chip fab capabilities. Supposedly, those facilities would go boom if an invasion started. Hence, the US Congress passed the chip fab initiative last year. The main players attacking China in the US are on the Russian payroll. That reality makes the meeting of Xi and Putin interesting. China has been offering to broker peace in Ukraine as a 'disinterested' party. I am surprised, but not very, to hear of China interfering in Australia's politics. I haven't seen any coverage of that, but then Russia's involvement in the US has been severely suppressed. While China may be on the verge of preeminence, if Putin completes his control of the US, then China becomes the weaker adversary.

Politics relates to the allocation of limited or scarce resources. Ordinarily, those who have the gold make the rules. Those rules frequently work to maintain an unfair distribution of assets.

Unfortunately, it is still an uphill battle until violence is threatened. And even then, the benefits may be short-lived (i.e. Voting Rights legislation).

Biden's responsibility only exists insofar as supporting Ukraine against Russia increase fuel prices, giving the GQP Federal Reserve cover to use high interest rates to tank the economy. The GQP/Fox blame it on the Democrats for the spending bills passed by Trump & McConnell during the pandemic. ...And making a huge bank (too big to fail) out of two large banks is such a good idea.

A smart move!

racocn8 comments on Mar 19, 2023:

The GQP Federal Reserve are so intent on tanking the economy that they neglected how many banks would be hurt by the rapid escalation of interest rates. Some of the banks that are failing have found the bonds they purchased at near-zero interest can't be sold or given away when bonds based on the high rates are available. As they lose liquidity, their operation gets hamstrung. And as noted by Warren, these overly high rates will throw 2 million people out of work. Especially the real estate market which was already almost in the toilet.

If they got the Senate and presidency, all at the same time, how long would it be before they'd come after non-Christians? Fascist Christians have declared this culture war and they are all in.

racocn8 comments on Mar 19, 2023:

Is the world random? The word *random* is a pejorative term used by religionists, so the question comes from a place of hostility and fear. Whatever response, if any, that is given should be suitable for the person's mindset, and your capacity to enlighten them. Even the religionists suffer the paradox of Free Will versus Determinism (aka it's all planned). Such unanswerable questions lack meaning because the terms are badly defined, if not entirely illusory. If the questioner persists, you can ask them to explain how free will exists or how prayer works if everything is planned. Invoking a god does not provide meaning or purpose. But without thinking it through, that is what is implied by the question. The question is an abstract non sequitur, actually intended to confuse prior to delivering the *pitch*. The pitch being that if you adopt certain beliefs, you will have a purpose for your life. We are incapable of grasping many things in life, and some questions don't have an answer. Only on rare occasions can science provide a glimpse of how things happen. We can never know why, because the term *why* is being mis-applied.

‘Beware the Ides of March’: What Does That Mean?

racocn8 comments on Mar 15, 2023:

Googling: "The Roman calendar, according to Britannica.com, divided months into groupings of days counted before certain named days. So, one grouping, the Kalends, was the beginning of the month. The Ides were the middle, and the Nones were between them. If a month had 31 days, like March, Britannica says, The Kalends would be day 1. Days 2-6 would be "before the Nones." The Nones would be day 7, Days 8-14 "before the ides" ...Which... leaves the 15th to be the "ides of March." What makes the day famous, obviously, is not just the Shakespeare play. Julius Caesar was actually assassinated on March 15 - the ides - of 44BC.

The Pentagon has made it clear that they have no interest in helping document the presence of ET. They continue to withhold existing documentation, films and sensor recordings, dismissing all the evidence as balloons and drones. The problem comes from the multi-person multi-sensor reports that have been leaked. These reports document objects that come from space, drop to 80,000, drop to sea level in seconds, and enter and traverse the ocean below the surface. Drones can't spend hours loitering in one place, much less hover in 150 mph wind. Avi Loeb is helping organize the Galileo Project which will independently use existing technology to gather flight data on UFOs. https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home Recently, public FOIA requests from the NRO have released NRO tracking accounts of tic-tacs, even using the tic-tac name to describe the UFOs. In fact, FOIA's generated NRO reports of multiple 'balloons' decades ago. More and more jet pilots are coming forward to recount their observations. TTSA is teaming up with other governments that are much more forthcoming to develop infrastructure to detect and track UFOs...

And the broadcasting of these lies was accepted as just another outrage among many. That was the strategy: flood the discussion with BS and tell more lies than could be answered. The strategy comes from Putin's GRU and troll farm. They used the experience of their hackers to bring down our system. In computerese, it's called a Denial of Service Attack where more requests are sent to a server than it can handle, and it breaks down. They sought to do the same thing to our entire culture.

racocn8 comments on Mar 9, 2023:

Per Google: "Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than 300,000 Russian citizens and residents are estimated to have left Russia by mid-March 2022, at least 500,000 by the end of August 2022, and an additional 400,000 by early October, for a total of approximately 900,000." I've heard it's now more than a million, and many are the brighter, tech-savvy Russians. Also, many western companies have shut down. Russian casualties in Ukraine are at least 200,000. As Putin continues to search for soldier material, more will leave or be conscripted for the war. Going into the war, Putin ordered a halt to anti-semitic propaganda so that it would clash with the Nazis-in-Ukraine storyline. However, with the Azov Battalion mostly killed off defending Mariupol, the Nazi story has been exposed. Putin has withdrawn the order against anti-semitic propaganda, and it has returned as a propaganda talking point in the state-controlled media.

A tough question for gay

FYI: "Gay sex doesn’t equal anal sex most of the time, study finds" https://www.qsaltlake.com/news/2011/10/19/gay-sex-doesnt-equal-anal-sex-most-of-the-time-study-finds/ I don't find myself attracted to men, but straight sex is plenty weird, so criticizing gays relies on personal aesthetics. You do you. If you like or love someone, giving them pleasure can be an ennobling experience. Gay is just a label for bigots. Or, if you love your friend, but its not sexual, pour your energy into planning fabulous trips together and just be best friends. I have a friend that I went on a dozen backpack trips together over the years. These are my fondest memories. I wish he had been female, but you pay your way and takes your chances...

Fucking hilarious!!!!!! ( "...an Israeli tech firm has uncovered a vast network of as many as hundreds of thousands of fake Twitter accounts designed to promote Trump...") Carlson's charade of downplaying the capitol attack only exists because of the censoring how the squad with rifles were intercepted. By continuing that censorship, the CIA gives cover to the Trump supporters.

"The stickers aren’t confusing if you believe the Christian God is defined by love rather than hate." It should be pretty clear how the Christian God is defined, as this article shows.

This seems like a particularly weak and meaningless case compared to all the other forms of coercion that we see daily. I have heartburn that atheist contributions are being wasted on poor judgment.
