More death spirals begin to spin.
Another great link from Red.
Describes the real problem that we’re facing that puts endless bickering about CO2 ppm, global warming, cap/com, Marx etc, as useless exercise. In those back-and-forth arguments I sense, in one side of it, a deep yearning for the return to good old days of existence or the claim that some “Marxists” prevents them from reaching their full potential.
Good luck to us all.We’ll need it.@Polemos
Thanks@MQ
“I’m hopeful, though, as it seems that over the past year many things are being stated aloud that were only whispered before.” (I wish I know how to insert those large pale gray-blue double quotations)
Apparent disregard by the elite for America and it’s citizens is more obvious in troubled times, like the one we’re in.
I think the REAL EYE OPENER for the US citizens is the realization of what the country is capable of doing to it’s allies in the WESTERN EUROPE so brazenly. All the mayhem was always created in the faraway “exotic” countries, save for the brief intervention in former YU, while domestic life was in relatively good shape and conveniently overlooked.. Not any more.@John Day
Good that you resisted the glitter call of being some big city doc and stayed close to the farm land.
You probably miss the practice given the effort that it took to make it possible. On the other hand I see that you have a time of your life (based on photos) doing what you’re doing now.Bit long but just the intro is enough to see host’s clear black and white thinking and mumbling about the “fair market” of the system that resides only in his head (and many other’s).
Slavoj’s accent is bit hard on ear but not as hard as what he has to say for some.@Red
Thanks for the link “Expect more of this”.
Has all the ingredients: Corporate labor cutting to enhance profits and even the Iron Lady who was quoted in nausea all over the web with her “Other people’s money.blah, blah….@tboc
I still do remember that debate. At the time I was not a citizen yet but next morning I expressed my admiration for Ross at my work, just to be confronted with the blank stares. I mean by all! First instance that I realized that my wiring inside the skull is way different than in people that I am mostly surrounded by.Current edition of Vicky Nuland is more like disheveled house wife.
Where I came from there is slightly edited term for that, which makes a clear distinction between someone who is a good mother and can cook a finger licking meal out of nothing and the one who is messy and lousy in just about anything but is a queen of gossip and intrigue in the neighborhood.Kunstler’s way of words – pure artistry.
His recent podcast with Dimitry Orlov is interesting for the fact that VERY VOCAL crowd on his main blog is, for the most part, absent in the comment section.Formerly T-Bear:
“A neighbour asked recently if there were things that countered the effects of mRNA injections as they were mandated to obtain employment.”Germ:
TVASF !!! !!!!! 🙂@ Mr. House
“If your country was in a life and death struggle, would you rather have Putin in charge or Biden and all the clowns in DC?In the light of recent comm/soc discussions and “ideological pasta noodles” planted firmly on the wall:
Putin was the communist. The real Cold-War-type, no less.
Bush 1, Clinton, Dubya, Obama, (ok) Trump and “this one” were not or are not.
Let that sink in.Also, in today’s earlier TAE offering highlighted, again, is corporate greed and overreach and what it does to the country.
“Do you think that CORPORATE corruption of congress is going to be fixed by the legal system?”
Way to go oxy!
See that was easy.@asp
I posted three simple questions today, for anybody who cared to look, and in return got long lecture(s) what I described in the first post as “an exercise in stretching the small soc/comm condom over the large butter squash of actual reality”.Dr D and Oro
Leave the socialist countries alone. It’s over. THAT SYSTEM IS DONE, decades ago.
Focus on where you are and the system that you’re in and the people who are the product of THAT SYSTEM who via amassed wealth and power decided to mess with our lives. They do not want to share your wealth with others (aka soc/comm) – they want to take it all for themselves.
Every system is based and functions on some kind of a blueprint. Say, capitalist system represent a technical drawings
to build a Porsche. Current “meme” spewed endlessly is trying to convince me that Lada or Trabant are merging at the end of the production line, and I am, frankly, tired of it.@jb-hb
My apology first. .
Your post came after mine and “sounded” what it may be reply to my question (based on your previous stances on the subject). I also made a disclaimer of possibility that it may not be such.
Yet my very simple question(s) still lingers on unanswered. I enjoy posting on sites related to design, architecture and art, staff that truly maters to me since when it comes to anything visual I know the shit. Believe me, I visit this site and some other, with occasional comment here and there just to discover what is behind the insane thinking that US is overrun by the communists. My decade long quest is still unanswered for the reasons that I’ve already stated.Even though I am not sure if jb-hb’s post is response to my post, but it is indicative of what I’ve just said. Never answer very simple, direct question (that 4 year old can understand) but offer fly-by tangent in the form of Bill Maher’s dribble.
Not that is not true in some ways, but is not relevant to the US. Period.
Like couple leaving the divorce court arguing and discussing the neighbor’s marriage.
Superimposed images of Marx, Mao and Lenin are on the screen next to prick’s smug face but nowhere to be seen, in the famous and familiar large format as in all comm-block countries, on the headquarter buildings of said institutions. Remember, they don’t give shit what you think of them any longer. Kim Yong is still NOT an honor-guest within the US borders.BlackRock, Vanguard, and JPMorgan, by now, pretty much don’t give shit as what you think of them. Given the “theory” circulating around, what prevents them from flying hammer and sickle flag at their headquarters?
Uninformed asking informed.
Fast scroll-by will be the answer, I suspect. Or, at best, laborious stretching of a small soc/comm condom over a large butter squash of cold reality.McCarthy’s photo inspired some posts today, one can say.
If the “Swimmers” are 8000 years old then faded marching men below must be three times as that.
@Rover
You just ruined post-phoenix-comment beautiful deafening silence interrupted only by the large metallic green fly hitting the window glass in regular intervals.@John Day
You explained it to me the last time and yet, leaves me with head scratching – as what force of nature keeps you from posting any other way?
Why I had to use posting style description as I did? Is it correct? Not? Fair enough.
At the end comments will continue as is, however some self reflection is good for a soul, since it does not apply to you only.TVASF
As a kid you raised your hand even before the teacher finishes the question? Dozen of times per class.
You sure look like one.
I’ve said it before, info that you provide is welcomed and appreciated. Drip-by-drip salivating on it is a call for mental health professional.That explains it since I thought that RIM had a deserved day off for a change.
My re-post from yesterday to:
@Arnold
(just in case)
I agree with you for once.
I mean, RIM is in charge of commenting format so there is that. Yet, an idea that some come with the pickup truck, lower the tail gate, unload and speed up – sometimes 5-6 times in a row baffles me. Re-posting of TAE topics that are in that very day’s batch and comment-links by others from day or two before is a sign that very few actually read what’s offered.
Personally, I am not voting for “any change” and I do not run the site. It is what it is, but comparison to any other that is open for comments is glaring and not in a good way for TAE.@Arnold

So no wonder that association to product of it came to my mind.Yin-Yang view of anything on the long run (that can unexpectedly turn in another direction again).
We spent quite bit of time arguing and defending what we think is “the best system” that we are born into by the lottery of life and hardly have any control over.
Kunstler cited Orlov’s book in which the latter compared the collapse of the Soviet Union to approaching one in the US.
In the comments I was expecting that at least one would contemplate a paradox, that harsh communist regime was much more gentler to the population in the time of it’s death and would have been even more softer if it wasn’t for the influx of the American “business consultants” swarming the drunken Yeltsin. On the contrary in the US, everyone should expect that he/she is really on their own. If not already hard, added part to the existence, as it appears and possibly expectancy of all the roadblocks will be put in place for self sufficiency, quite the opposite what happened in the Soviet Union..
Seeing life as a journey through real experiences I find myself grateful to have lived in both, such a diametrically opposed systems.TVASF! sign-off gone!
“Karma warning” by the poster a few days back did the trick?!?!
Now, how one exits from something and “save the face” in the process?
Five letters become dashes for a day or so than pooof – gone, like today.@Dora
Thank you for the yesterday’s link to Bourla’s most uncomfortable 4 or so minutes as a CEO of Pfizer.
It was something!

I doubt that any incompetence was exhibited where matters of money flow is concerned.@ asp
If they do not call themselves a communist countries, one of those private entrepreneurs may suggest that he’s about to start making a voting machines with the big discount as a gift to a new democratic system where Comm party may be outvoted. That does not sound good for the CP? No?
Pleasantly surprised, though, that you are not stickler and anal when it comes to understanding benefits of other systems, regardless how we call it. In the case of China and Viet we are rather talking of some hybrid-systems, at best, that apparently works well for them. Being definitely different than one in the NK, why call it the same name?
NOT that I AM CONFUSED, but merino is.@jb-hb
Debates are hard in writing form, at least for me since I am not much of a writer. Basis of my posting is: define who or what is “the trouble maker”. If you think that’s Marxism, fair enough.@ asp
Sure you do!
Communism by def is the “system in which means of production are in the hands of ……????
Or to make it easier for you: If it does not walks like a duck, does not talk like a duck it is NOT a duck@ citizenx
Who the fuck are you?Oh, and speaking of “Gulag”, just a few days ago on TAE there was a caption with Stalin’s portrait (most likely scrolled fast by and not contemplated):
“Communism does not kill people. I do.”Which is true, killings (definitely) stopped after the March of 1953, while system continued almost four decades more.
Probably true with the “other two culprits” that I mentioned in previous post.@jb-hb
For one, thank you for engaging and wish you luck to land the job soon. By now smart people know that “having a job” in the beloved system is one big B/S endeavor, with rare exceptions, where one is made to be aware of being disposable.
An ultimate triumph of a current “elite” in the West is that even the basic human decency is implanted into population brains as “soc / comm” and , (unless you allow us to rob you blind) there is Stalin. Mao or Pol behind every corner to “to get you” and it works like charm, unabated.
What in the fucking world you have with the “Gulag” or “Kolima stories” (equally horrifying) that happened eight decades ago in the system that has nothing with THE ONE YOU ARE LIVING IN? Possibility of THAT system to sneak in into yours? With the hawk eyes of the “job creators” who are in the lookout to destroy ANY competition but to allow for their enterprise to be nationalized!?!? Mind boggling logic.
