Yes but since most users aren’t using these spaces they are not the same.

You literally said a wife was an extension of her husband. That’s traditionally sexist.

The trials were entirely in the 1980s. Im presuming that ypu are lying about ypur age because of how well publicized they were at the time.

If you were a voter in 1977 you would know why the wives of the PMRC got their hearings in the late 1980s. You would know who they were and realize ypur claim that this was a democrat driven effort were factually incorrect.

Why are you lying about this? Is your life that small?

American news media talked about Bukele less because Bukele’s allies advertise more in US media.

It has danced around notions of being a democratic republic.

The PMRC was formed in 1985. The trials were in the 1980s. Stop talking about this definitively because you clearly aren’t informed about this at all and on top of it ypuare being overtly sexist.

I have nothing to directly point my finger at but I wouldn’tbe surprised if most major US energy companies played a role to some degree.

No it was because they suspected he had mob ties and was lying about his wealth.

First, no the wife of someone is not an extension of their spouse nor vice versa as they are separate people.

Second, why are you talking about the 1990s? Were you alive when this was going on?

What do you think your reply means?

There is more money in supporting Israel. It’s that simple and that gross.

Whose party? Tipper Gore was Al Gore’s wife not a politician herself. The PMRC was a bipartisan group in terms of which party theor husbands were in.

Tipper Gore was part of a group of Evangelical Christian representative’s spouses who did this. The driving force was her faith not her party.

It was because Tiktok was very effective in preventing Trump from being reelected. The US authoritarian state cannot have a social media app they do not control.

Clinton thinks that Americans should back Israel because they are a historic ally. The youth are asking why they have been a historic ally given what the US claims to represent.

I suspect this is the case and I believe this is why so many US conservatives back Russia as well.

This is one of the better Onion “articles” that highlights the real issue. Note this was published months before the war started in the eyes of Israelis.

Tiktok gave many American kids access to non-Israeli sympathetic voices which in turn made them see the truth. Many older Americans will never understand this.

Many American never see anything resembling the truth of this situation because defense contractors frequently advertise in the media. NBC was owned by GE at one point amd now wants Microsoft advertising dollars. As those companies are involved in the defense sector and sell Israel tech they have a interest in maintaining this narrative. Thus our media never has anything other than a pro-Israel stance. Clinton is one of these folks.

The fact is price controls are terrible policy and have never worked because we cannot predict the future needs of the market. Unless we magically get vastly better AI that runs the entire economy it is unlikely price controls will ever work so when Chavez instituted them it lead to a collapse of the agriculture sector leading to hunger issues.

Some of the economic problems were self created because many leftists have zero formal economic backgrounds and thus have trouble separating reasons for factual historical failures of specific leftist policies, like price controls or rent control being extremely problematic historically speaking, vs what is merely capitalist propaganda eg “capitalism is the only system that works” which isn’t true historically speaking.

The country went to shit before Chavez died as a result of many backing away from trade as a result of US demands as well as a slew of bad policy choices that turned them from a food exporting nation to one that imported food which collapsed the economy. Chavez and Maduro instituted price controls which have harmed the agricultural economy significantly which further harmed things.

That being said while their results were bad their intentions were good which is not going to be true of whatever puppet government the USA would install.

Chavez in his first few months/year of being in office would be a good example of a non-authoritarian in that role.

My problem with Maduro and many of those in the post early days of Chavez taking over is that far too many seem to have a tremendous amount of money that they cannot explain how they came across legally. Executives at PVDSA, the state run petroleum company, seem to be extremely vulnerable to this corruption.

You can make the case that dictatorships/authoritarian structures are needed to protect a socialist revolution, which Im not sure I entirely agree with, without supporting the theft of state resources by people in the government.
