  • I appreciate your point of view and you raise a decent point. In a perfect world. Bear in mind this is not USA themselves choosing not to buy oil from Venezuela, this is the USA using its dominant economy and weaponising the dollar by stopping anyone who wants to trade with the USA from purchasing Venezuelan oil. Now let’s look at the reasons it came about. Trade or land dispute or other ongoing disagreement? Nope, Venezuela’s domestic economic policies were the reason why. To call it anything other than naked imperialism is either denial, ignorance or collusion. And now (basically) the same people want to turn around and feign concern about democratic right and such. Come on now, I would expect to have to connect the dots on Reddit and such but not here.






  • As soon as possible couldn’t be soon enough to get rid of this pestilence my friend. He never saw a war he didn’t like, as if the devastation him and his kind have caused already wasn’t enough. Absolutely astounding.

    Edit: Not fair to leave unmentioned he (and his ilk, Victoria Nuland) was highly in involved in the Biden administration’s handling of Ukraine. It is all the same mfers behind the scenes, if not worse waiting in the wings, and voting ain’t doing shit about it. Which is why you’re still allowed to do so.




  • (not specifically related to this piece of news, whereby the Algerian contestant has apparently lived all her life as a woman etc etc)

    why is genetic variation seen as “unfair” in women but “fair” in men?

    There are unquantifiable variations but then there is the variation between men and women. There is a night and day of difference between the two.

    in which case why isn’t there a T limit for male athletes as well?

    Combat sports generally have strictly defined weight categories to flatten out huge swings in testosterone (ie muscle mass + bone density). Throw a chimpanzee into the welterweight category for example and it will fuck shit up all day long, so to me it makes sense to have testosterone categories in women’s sports but not in men’s because for women the ceiling is much much higher.

    There is a reason roided body builders don’t compete in natural leagues while we all stand around like programmed momos pretending they are the exact same thing.
