Helloooooo

Meow like a good kitten and I'll tell you more about how deep my rabbit holes go

Iron "law" of institutions, a bit overblown because it's more a feature of liberal and bourgeois politics rather than any organization (also the guy who theorized it joined the Italian fascists in lile 1920 😬). But it does mean that the cadres leading a party in the parliamentary struggle would rather lose the struggle than lose their position within the party. Theyre like "eh, we'll win again later at least no one will blame us for 'having' to compromise now"

I'm gonna die with buried with a bunch of random bones I find. They're gonna be confused when they see horse femurs and deer antlers.

She legit did a hawk tuah thing on a pic of the shooter. So... she'll give future shooters a blow job presumably?

Scott Adams was hypnotized into posting this

Yeah, it's not like last time where he had Pence to coddle to the evangelicals and to remind the more establishment GOP leadership that he's not gonna be a total weirdo in terms of policy in office (just a weirdo in terms of cultural stuff). This time he doesn't have to coddle and he kind of took over the party so he doesn't have anyone to demure to. Plus, Vance will happily go on TV anytime Trump wants him to say something.

He wrote a whole book. Hillbilly Elegy. I think they made it into a movie. Anyway you can hear the chapos talk about it in one of the podcasts

Weird that AOC has no problem telling dems to resign if they think dems can't win but can't bring herself to say Biden should resign

I mean, she was always gonna be like this but it is weird to watch her speed run progressive outsider to establishment

There is the /pol/ type people who find him insufficiently antisemitic

A lot of pharmaceuticals have two (or more forms) that identical in chemical formula and mostly identical in structure, except one chiral centre is flipped. Sometimes that version doesn't do anything, sometimes it kills you. Classic example is one version of thalidomide is just a nice sedative, one version will be a total disaster to babies in utero.

Chemical processes can rarely distinguish between the forms, you can do some engineering to change up the racemic mixture to favour one form over another but you can't really get 100% of one form - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiopure_drug

But... cells do that all the time. Tons of proteins have tons of ways they could be folded. Same for an substance they excrete from a protein. They can distinguish between enantiomers very very well - that's what they've evolved to do! We can take advantage of that by inserting a vector teaching the bacteria or yeast to make one specific form of a substance. And they will, they just do the instructions they're given. They will excrete the target drug or med in a pure racemic mixture. We can take advantage of that, we just need to insert those vectors into yeast or whatever soonish and just grow em for "free" (absent the initial cost lol and the cost to wash the drug from the rest of the crap we don't want). That's what I mean.

It's failure was inevitable, it's already in mid-failure. We (the masses "we" not like a handful of people on hexbear lol) can decide if that failure hurts us or not.

A long time ago, in the 30s, my people remember the Great Depression a little different than the settlers. For us, the indigenous were always poor - and now so were the whites. If anything social reality got better for a lot of people and there was more solidarity - amid the terror of unemployment and poverty, I don't want to pay a rosey picture. Just that market failure and capitalism finally grinding against itself doesn't mean that the proletariate only has terror to look forward to.

Failure of America does not have to mean the homeless die on the street - we can redistribute goods and set up squats. We can set up vertical hydroponics farms in empty office towers. We can set up free clinics and use biomodofied yeast and e coli to make our drugs and meds without enantiomers - more pure than chemical processes. I don't want to make you feel like you're feelings and fears are wrong - only tell you that the coming struggle can be won to our benefit, and it's not all downside for the people alive today but maybe good for the future. No, it can be good for us too!
