Good thing I was able to cash some BTC at the recent near high. Gonna buy back at $7k.

I think if the price was to go up and break the recent $8500 highs, we need the price to turn around closer to $7500 then $7000. $7500 has been acting as support and resistance going back 2017, were at $7500 as a support now but if it were to break things could get pretty ugly quickly, I dont really see any meaningful bounce happening at $7k personally

@Kazi1212

The point here is that what you are calling reasons to reject the possibility of communism are not good reasons. They are reasons to reject the possibility of communism given, say, the material conditions present in 20th-century Soviet Russia, similar to the fact that the development of capitalism would have been impossible too early in the development of feudalism.

Recognizing this fact doesn't commit you to communism, but it does commit you to historicizing the present rather than naturalizing it, and interpreting current events accordingly.

@Godnorgosh

I think the difference between us is I think the degree of pragmatism of an idea is the basis through which I decide whether its something worth committing too or are even possible. Like I said, communism seemed a far more reasonable ideology to maintain in the 20th century, that bar has dropped significantly. Im not saying communism cant ever happen, Im just saying its highley unlikely given the number of things that has to go right in the historical process for that to come to fruition. And as we have seen in the past 3 decades, history has done more to make communism less of a possibility than it was before, as you yourself have hinted at.

Investment wasn't possible under feudalism, dude. And at that time, it wasn't because big daddy gubmint didn't like it. Capitalism has historical prerequisites just like most everything else.

I dont know who that was direct d towards but I didnt deny what you said about capitalism not being pragmatic in the feudal era, but that doesnt invalidate my point about communism being a puzzling stance to maintain in this day and age.

If the proper material conditions aren't in place, communism can't take root. Communism cannot flourish in a globally capitalist environment. Marxists have always known this.

So youre saying communism is not possible in this day and age correct? If thats the case why do you continue to call yourself a communist if you know it cant take root? Surely theres more pragmatic ideas that can help illeviate the ills of the world then something that is impossible.

This is like if someone had been plucked from the feudal era and said to you that capitalism isn't pragmatic because it couldn't take root at that particular time and place. Ideology has a tendency to naturalize the present.

But if they were in the feudal era, they would be right, conceiving of a capitalist society wouldnt have been pragmatic. If you were a capitalist in the feudal era, I think people would have been justified to call your views useless, because such ideas would have served no purpose or utility at the time. Conceiving and trying to rationally formulate a vision of society so far out into the future that it transcends the current structure of collectivization is buffoonery, theres too many steps in the historical process that has to go right for that vision to come true, and many of those steps will occur at a more random basis then an intentionally driven one. Communism is one example of such conceptions. Though I have to say it was far more pragmatic and reasonable to be a communist back in 20th century then it is this day and age, that ship has long sailed. Saying youre a communist today is just completely puzzling to me

Let's not forget about that either lol. Honestly some of you just love preying on people when you really have no clue how delusional you actually are. You still haven't let it go either. It's very obvious a lot of you have a very limited scope of who you are talking to and just like to be idiots to people.

It's funny because how you twist things is absolutely that. Your scope isn't what you think it is.

I cant wait for the Dem primaries with 7 or 8 candidates and watch them devour themselves with infighting

You mean like nearly every presidential primary ever

The difference in ideological stances between the candidates will be much more pronounced as prior historical primaries, thats my gut feeling. Bernie Sanders was just the beginning, Dems are more fractured than ever. This will be a historically interesting primary for the Dems like the Republican one was last election

I believe he misspoke twice in a row in the same way I believe Trump misspoke "would".

Does he also have a history of lying and misspeaking Iike Trump does? I havent seen any complaints regarding Tim Hunt from female colleagues thus far, which is also not the case with someone like Trump. Did your opinion remain completely unfaltered assuming you ended up reading the Guardian article?
---

@COVxy

Do you think the fallout to Tim Hunt regarding his statements was reasonable? This Guardian article digs a bit deeper into the the whole thing with more details about Tim Hunts life and whether it really makes sense if Hunt is a raging misogynist. And as I asked earlier, what his female colleagues had to say about him, well at least one of them came out to defend him. Surely his colleague would know more about Tim as a person than your hasty judgments would.

If we want to do our best to see what we want, we can justify anything as meaning anything else. This is what you are doing. It's like the anti-SJW version of Anita Sarkeesian.

No, i'm not gonna debate how "trouble with women" and "women are trouble" are totally different things. Also, "girls", just saying.

I honestly dont think Im the one being unreasonable here, im not even trolling. I dont know man, just leaping to the conclusion from just those 2 statements that hes a raging misogynist just seems unreasonable to me, I guess you can call me whatever you want for that but thats just how I feel. Be for a second, Im genuinely curious, have you been called judgemental by anybody that knows you?

Even viewing women in a lab as troublesome because some presumed development of feelings is pretty fucked up. The whole thing is shitty, and the fact that he confirmed that he believes any part of it is the issue.

"I'm gonna preferentially recruit men because they will be less trouble, no chance of feelings popping up and interrupting the science", this is the clear conclusion you reach from just that statement.

Damn man, if thats the conclusion you reach about the depths of a persons character from such a statement you might be what they call a judgmental person, either that or Im being too lenient, I genuinely dont see how you can conclude he would be that fucked up.

You keep saying he says women are troublesome and I keep saying he says trouble with women(which is what he actually said if I recall), maybe thats where our difference stems. One is a declarative judgmental and prejudicial statement and leads to discriminatory behavior while the other is a recognition of ones own experience but with the awareness he still has a choice on how to deal with those situations. Do you see what Im saying at all?
---

I don't know my gimmick
"Does that sound reasonable to you?"

If these 2 quote blocks are all Im going off, then I have to say firstly that the joke was distasteful. But despite that, he said he meant the part about having trouble with girls and having feelings, not the other part of the joke about girls crying and such which was clearly the more palpable sexist part of the joke.

As for him calling himself a chauvinist, I think thats a bit more for theatrical affect(which can certainly have truth to it, albeit exaggerated) but maybe thats just me, I doubt he believes himself to be such a raging chauvinist. A chauvinist of that level isnt generally aware theyre chauvinists and at the very least they reasonably wouldnt declare as such in public.

More importantly though, is there any info on how female colleagues view him? Has he had sexual harassment claims made against him?

Israel no question, only fake news believers would say Russia

Only Trump fans?

Do Trump fans follow CNN? Because theyll have you believe Russia has more influence over our politicians than Israel

Name 5 politicians who CNN thinks are in Russias pocket

Like I know your whole gimmick is to make shitposts while youre on dialysis but what do you gain from saying stupid shit constantly?

Thats the thing, they dont actually think that, because they know its not true. However, it certainly doesnt stop them from creating the impression that Russia has more influence than Israel through their style and volume of news coverage on Russia as opposed to Israel. Mainstream news agencies are notorious for not outright lying but leaving out the whole truth such that they can shape their viewers perception to their liking. Fox is an excellent example and so is CNN. Go read Manufactured Consent by Chomsky if you want a detailed analysis of how mainstream media subverts the whole truth with half truths and uses subtle means to shape the public consciousness and narrative. Tell me if anything I said here is completely unreasonable to you

Anyway the reason why all news media are nice to Israel is they have to be. They don't want to be seen as anti-Semitic.

Believe me, if Russia had the biggest lobbying groups to the US like Israel does, the media wouldnt be saying shit about Russia either
