White genocide

The oil magnates were the first to perceive the prize that could be extracted from the wide distribution of the motorcar. If people could be induced to travel in cars, they could be sold the fuel necessary to move them. For the first time in history, people would become dependent for their locomotion on a commercial source of energy. There would be as many customers for the oil industry as there were motorists—and since there would be as many motorists as there were families, the entire population would become the oil merchants’ customers. The dream of every capitalist was about to come true. Everyone was going to depend for their daily needs on a commodity that a single industry held as a monopoly.

The democrats aren't also war hungry? Why did the Biden regime do this:

Why did the Obama regime do this?

After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

No, but it already has language support for most languages. As a decades long vim user who fully moved to helix, it didn't lack anything I needed.

Democrats are not pleased that their pivot to asia strategy failed so completely.

The authoritarian Starmer regime has no depths to which it won't sink.

Most of europe traded with nazi germany until the war broke out, but the US trade with nazi germany was especially egregious, as some US companies continued business and making profits during the war. Ford, GE, IBM, and Dow chemical are really bad cases. Coke even re-branded its operations in nazi germany as "fanta", to be able to continue making a profit during the war.

Same... although I did graduate with a lot of debt that forced me into jobs I hated for many years.

Not just private banks, but the US government realized they could make a ton of profit by charging interest on loans rather than enforcing tuition caps or reigning in university bureacracy and loan companies, and all the middlemen who profit at the expense of teachers and students. The whole experience left me disillusioned with the US education system, and I saw it as more of a business or a racket than actually about educating people into professions that ensure their future financial security.
