    Jews don’t have a right to an ethnostate. No one does. Jews have a right to live within any country in the world, but not run an apartheid government or commit genocide.

    I think this concept is an exercise in fantasy. There’s simply no such thing as a free market. Why we single out subsidy as non free is arbitrary. What activities constitute legiti…

    I bet you can’t name a single company that doesn’t perform some critical function at a loss.

    Lol, how is this not a free market? Apple subsidizes dozens of organizations internally to advance its strategic interests, what’s the difference?

    This is an unambiguous good. Why do you sound so bitter about it?

    Does anyone know of cool things built with fdb? I’ve been aware of it for a while and it seems very cool but I haven’t seen a lot of details about how folks are using it.

    Yes you are. If you’re arguing in good faith then you should try to answer this question: How far does it have to go before you assume malice? Do they have to tell you “I am malici…

    I’d like to get out while I can, but to what country? Any suggestions? By the way the answer to your question is simple: the American people are fascists, not just the president.
