They’ll spend thousands of dollars buying the most ridiculous gear to kill the damn thing, and then just fail at butchering and preserving. Hunting is the easy part.

Sounds like advice that should be remembered.

No. It is a level of dog whistling that everybody but Fox News should point out.

How could Trump successfully use the America first slogan with that history?

Using fracking if you could have electric cars shows that it is all about spoiling ground water.

This is the preparation for selling water to everybody.

Unfortunately that’s the what. How do you gain the power to implement such a society?

41% of the population would object, together with 29% who don’t support assistance at all. If you want UBI in a democratic society you have to sell it differently.

If they can settle in their own town, there is no threat and they don’t need welfare. An example where initial assistance is needed but no continuous welfare.

Just tells you how shitty life is to some people.

Who owns the app that gets the location data of every illegal immigrant? Maye they do know the Streisand effect.

Recording has become an emotional expression like applause.

Obviously not. I have read about stop and frisk and racial targeting. It never came up that at least a third of all males are arrested once. More puzzling, this doesn’t seem to be limited to some states.

It’s surreal. Why are people arrested? Are the arrests justified?

I can understand if the majority condones a police state to surpress the minorities. But if everybody gets arrested why is there not a successful movement for change? Do Americans know that it is different elsewhere?

and 38 percent of white males

The headline is bad, but my expectation would have been something low like 1% for white men. 30% worse treatment for black men is bad, but it is not the expected 5000%.

You are right.

Look up Palantir

Unipolary didn’t have strict rules either.

Neither is convenient for me because there will be a very inconvenient war. It’s just that people only count when there is an election, and then they only count as a manipulatable resource. Otherwise nobody in power cares about what people want.

You are right about your expectations about future wars. It’s time to come up with something to make a better future.

A buyers market. Let competition drive down prices, or cooperation from people with UBI who don’t need the profits.

That’s for basic goods. It’s good that other prices rise so that people are motivated to work.

Sure. Unfortunately that’s not what counts. Also history is more complicated and doesn’t start in 2014.

Wang was said to have given Kallas – the former Estonian prime minister who only late last year took up her role as the bloc’s de facto foreign affairs chief – several “history lessons and lectures”.

Ukraine seems to be more of a unipolar project than a multipolar project. The important part is the last part of the last sentence.

David C. Hendrickson, in his article in Foreign Affairs on November 1, 1997, saw the core of the book as the ambitious strategy of NATO to move eastward to Ukraine’s Russian border and vigorously support the newly independent republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, which is an integral part of what Hendrickson said could be called a “tough love” strategy for the Russians. Hendrickson considers “this great project” to be problematic for two reasons: the “excessive expansion of Western institutions” could well introduce centrifugal forces into it; moreover, Brzezinski’s “test of what legitimate Russian interests are” seems to be so strict that even a democratic Russia would probably “fail”.

Of course there can also be wars in the multipolar world. But there are enough started by the US that peace seems to be secondary.

Why should it not happen? If they track everybody crime becomes impossible, as does dissent. The latter is the motivation, the former, as you say, the talking point. Not looking forward to it, but political development suggests that it will happen.

Once all thieves are ‘treated’, who should move a bike?

So what does all that violation of human rights actually buy us?

Violated humans. Political stability by removing all dissidents.

I am not arguing for surveillance, I just assume that it will come.
