Stop fucking reporting every brainfart he has. Report it when and if he relaunches the Apprentice to choose. I’m sure every POTUS in history has said the same thing, but the press never used to report such inane crap, especially not as their headline. Surely this crap can’t still be driving click through rates.

Middle powers need to come to a settled policy position around a bancor-like policy. I think its unlikely a major power would take the lead instead of favouring their own currency as reserve. After half a century the idea probably needs updating. Then they need to coordinate as blocs to make it painful for China and USA to resist.

If middle powers can peel one major away from their own more position of self regard, maybe in a moment of strategic weakness, then that could make it far more likely to be successful. So a situation not unlike what the USA did with the Russia-China partnership under Nixon.

Without the major economies of the world all signing on, i’m not sure if a bancor could be done with middle powers and developing nations alone. Maybe theres a model between this set of nations that works without setting off recurring imbalance of payments crises? I’m not sure.

Professor Steven Keen speaks very well on the bancor, he and Phil Dobbie get into it on their Debunking Economics Podcast.

Sorry u/dustycups, had to follow you along here and have a sticky beak. :)

Maybe. I don’t know. People have a lot less rights in other countries than their own. Theres a clear propaganda line I can see there, maybe it’d be flimsy, but it doesn’t seem to take much ‘justification’.

I think its not even the average football fan.

The peaceful suburbanite psyche of the average ‘western’ person hasn’t been penetrated yet, even with all thats happened. Thats in large part due to the media, and how they don’t cover the increasingly serious corruption, murders, and traitors.

A great current example is the sentencing and jailing of that national traitor from Reform UK. It caused barely a blip in the media, just phenomenal there wasn’t a classic british media circus around it, so phenomenal I find it suspicious.

But its surely more than the media, maybe willful ignorance? Simple lack of care, a sort of “thats their business, not mine” attitude? I don’t know, human behaviour is weird when it comes to inconvenience.

So much of this world seems to run on whatever is most convenient, (to be read as least mentally taxing), for the person in the decision makers position at the time. Be it a president, local cop, lawyer, teacher, or any other authority position, it always comes down to was it easier for that person to make that decision, or this decision.

Importantly, i think its the making of a decision not the outcomes of said decisions. So the easy decision could lead to harder to manage outcomes, but the decision maker at the time found that decision easiest to process as opposed a more complex option as the decision to go with.

And so do the US, and especially Musk. So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable obect?

Someone should run with their platform as, ‘Make Dog Rock Great Again!!’

They’d be named emperor of the Great Southern within weeks!

Haha, wtf, this is an extreme coincidence or someones havin a laugh.

Yeah, but they need to be sneakier as they steal away through the grocery store doors. Those doors are a funnel for awkward moments.

What i hate is when someone gets offended i don’t initially recognise them when they’ve got half their face covered.

Take the fucken glasses off and say hi properly you awkward ass bastards! I got shit to do, and i don’t need to feel bad for the next half hour because you made me squint to recognise who the fuck you are!

What will they do!? Cross the Rubicon?!

What Geoff Vader runs the Death Star?

A Modern Family reference. Nevermind, its a bit dated now i guess.

Is this Phil Dunphy?

Organ attacks a good one.

Find the lesser posted contributors to your field/s of interest, read them, post them, share your thoughts.

This means you are actively using social media, actively considering different texts in subjects you already have an interest in, and actively using your brain to make considered contributions.

This is my go to. Take a look at my post history in aussie-enviro. I continually go out of my way to find environmental or conservation organisations themselves instead of waiting only for a news site like Guardian to do a write up themselves.

I’m finding my reading speed and attentiveness has improved, and i’ve better knowledge recall, especially on key details. Its of course fun as well.

Good answer.

Not if yer a fucken orc!

I’ll vote for Stanislaw. That guy seems up Lemmys alley.

She is telling you how she goes about making decisions i.e. deferring to authority.

This is really insightful. Thanks.

I will call them sansculotte.
