  1. Taiwan has a fertility rate in the toilet. China just needs to fix their own fertility rate and wait 50 years then they can walk right in.
  2. It is extremely rare to have a permanent enlightenment from psychedelics. Don’t bother pursuing it through these means.
  3. Are you also focusing on making the book have literary merit and well written sentences / verbal wit?
  4. That’s because unlike you I’m capable of thinking beyond what is happening at this very moment. You would have been here cheering on Biden’s 2020 victory and insisting it proved you right and democrats are doing everything right. In reality it was leading to disaster. Short term success is not the same as long term success. Also you brought up the socialism nonsense which the thread wasn’t about.
  5. You must have missed the widespread support the Iranian protests for in 2022. The lack of support today is because of horrible choices by the Iranian diaspora to call for regime change war (unpopular with anti-Iran republicans), support israel (unpopular with leftists who supported them before), and anti-religion (unpopular with Sunni Muslims who also hated Irans government) losing most of their allies.
  6. Your reasoning is so idiotic and bad faith it’s unbelievable Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were not socialist, Schumer and Pelosi were not socialist, Democrats lost both elections with them while Schumer and Pelosi were representing congress. Your conclusion? This is socialisms fault. Now democrats are still not socialists, but actually have more open talk of socialism and even socialist candidates like Mamdani representing them at least in the media. Democrats start winning, your conclusion? It’s because they’re not socialist. Its a idiotic unfalsifiable opinion. If democrats lose it’s because socialism, if they win it’s because they aren’t socialist, meanwhile they never were socialist in either case.
  7. This guy drowned in 2022 after tweeting this, originally I thought it was a coincidence but I’m not sure anymore.
  8. Then there are no “socialists” in the democrat party, the most left wing members just call for expanding or increasing federal programs, which we already have.
  9. The democrats have never put forward a socialist candidate. The programs you call “socialism” are some of the most popular in the country.
  10. That’s not me being hopeful. I’m saying Newsom will be a repeat of Biden. Just kicks the can down the road 4 years without fundamentally shifting the trajectory probably making the eventual situation worse. Only advantage is that younger voters lean left so time is on dems side in that regard.
  11. Great video. I warned about a lot of this years ago and the attitude was completely dismissive. If Newsom is the nominee democrats are screwed. They need a radical transformation.
  12. There were rumors israel was planning on attacking Iran again, however it was reported Israel indicated to Iran through Russia they would not attack them, Iran agreed to not strike them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/14/israel-iran-russia-secret-messages/ However then protests erupted in Iran and Israel seemingly activated sleeper cells, Israeli officials now admit they armed protestors It’s reported at least 100+ Iranian security forces were killed and Iran cracked down hard with reports of 500-2000 killed protestors. A pro-Israel group is claiming it is 12-20,000 but there is no evidence of this. Trump said he would air strike Iran if the protestors were fired on and said they crossed his red line and has cut off diplomatic communications with Iran. Reports are that currently no one in the White House is telling him not to strike with Rubio (major israel lobby recipient) urging him to air strike Iran. However gulf states and Turkey are apparently urging him not to for fear Iran will strike their territory due to their US bases and Irans regime collapse could turn into a failed state and civil war like Syria causing a massive refugee crisis. Most Syrian refugees ended up in the gulf states, turkey, and Europe, Israel accepted essentially none. Currently Israel is reportedly saying they expect the US to strike however actually cautioned strikes as they fear the regime isn’t currently weak enough that strikes would collapse it. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-want-military-action-iran-swift-decisive-sources-say-rcna254076 Polling data finds most Americans are against strikes as of now
  13. Xi is holding back China during their best chance to exploit America’s instability. What he should be doing is implementing democratic reforms to make Europe more comfortable, and then exploiting the Trump chaos to increase ties. He should be using his military to reinforce Venezuela and Iran and try to bait them into long protracted wars with the US. Then exploit this by arming more to drag it out while preparing to seize Taiwan while the US is distracted.
  14. Why? Many philosophers and sages throughout history married average house wives who probably didn’t know or care about their studies or teachings. Socrates wasn’t married to a genius philosopher woman.
