The Kremlin is not a propaganda agency any more than the White House is a propaganda agency.

In the UK, you're looking for JTRIG, Institute for Statecraft/Integrity Initiative, and the 77th Brigade, and probably tens to hundreds of smaller organizations.

It’s made clearer in the text, but the conflation of “citizen” and “resident” here is a common irritant that makes it really difficult to understand just what non-citizens are enti…

Right-libertarian "variants of anarchy" fundamentally ignore the foundational concepts of anarchism and are frankly a joke.

They most certainly are not. Some right-libertarians have convinced themselves that they are anarchists so that they can pretend to be radicals but that does not make it so. Anarch…

I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to argue, to be honest.

The current geopolitical situation prevents anarchists from living in their desired society because there is zero (or practically zero) free land to create such a society without i…

How do you amass power in an anarchist system? In capitalism you generally amass power by amassing capital. What's the equivalent under anarchism?

In America, the validity of a search is rarely an impediment to carrying it out.

It is, however, illegal to engage in, or create the impression of engaging in, surveillance of union activities.

No, it isn't.

Is there evidence that cats are actually a problem for local wildlife in NZ? Which species are under threat? I've found this belief is common, and it may well be true in some place…

The right wing in the UK has been inserting their own people into top BBC positions for years. The BBC has a history of working with the security services to deny employment to any…

The right controls the non-government media organizations just as well, what's the difference? The BBC is harder to control because it legally is supposed to be impartial.

You're probably not the target audience, to be honest.

> No, the modern welfare state is not capitalism, it's a socialist reaction to capitalism. You have this completely backwards. The welfare state is a bourgeois reaction to socialis…

To be charitable to the guy, maybe he didn't realize that Capital is actually about capitalism, not communism.

I would rather measure 2.5 grams on the scale I'm already using, it's far easier. Volumetric measurements should only be used for liquids.
