If you haven't figured it out, a Tariff is a TAX. Stop supporting Murder, Theft and Slavery. Stop being a DUMBASS
Tariffs had nothing to do with eliminating the US debt, tariff revenue was never near enough to impact on the national debt
Tariffs were not just an economic issue but a catalyst for the political and cultural divisions that ultimately fractured the nation
Tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The tariffs fueled sectional tensions by favoring Northern industries and harming the Southern economy, which relied on exports. Southern outrage led to the Nullification Crisis, deepening mistrust. While not the sole cause, tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The North’s true motive in waging the Civil War was not to abolish slavery, but to forcibly prevent the Southern states from leaving the Union and to maintain federal control over Southern markets and resources
The North’s use of war to stop secession revealed the coercive nature of the federal government. The North’s actions were about power and economic control, not justice or liberty.
Tariffs were a primary factor in the long-term buildup of sectional animosity. By consistently favoring Northern industrial interests and harming the Southern export economy, tariffs contributed to the sense of Southern victimization and the broader crisis of Union. The repeated tariff disputes-culminating in the Nullification Crisis and the Morrill Tariff-were key episodes in the chain of events that led to secession and war

William Z. Foster: Lenin and Stalin have evidenced their outstanding brilliance as mass leaders in every revolutionary requirement: in Marxian theory, political strategy, the building of mass organizations, and in the development of the mass struggle. The characteristic feature of their work is its many-sidedness. Both men of action as well as of thought, they have exemplified in their activities that coordination of theory and practice which is so indispensable to the success of the every-day struggles of the masses and the final establishment of socialism. Both have worked in the clearest realization of the twin truths that there can be no revolutionary movement without revolutionary theory, and that revolutionary theory unsupported by organized mass struggle must remain sterile. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
Schnell mal einen Post auf Instagram oder X abzusetzen, sollte verboten werden – zumindest wenn es nach den Mitgliedern des Bürgerrats Forum gegen Fakes geht. In einer Welt, die von #Falschmeldungen und #Desinformation überschwemmt wird, braucht es nach Meinung der 139 Teilnehmer „eine angemessene #Bedenkzeit“ von zwei bis fünf Minuten. Im Anschluss soll eine Künstliche Intelligenz (#KI) den Inhalt des Postings überprüfen und auf „sensible Themen“ wie „Migration“ anspringen. Verstößt der Verfasser gegen bestimmte #Vorgaben, die noch definiert werden müssen, wird der Post nicht veröffentlicht.
Das ist eine von insgesamt 15 #Politikempfehlungen, die die Mitglieder des #Bürgerrats in einem Gutachten „zum Umgang mit Desinformation“ zusammengetragen haben. Zu den Vorschlägen gehören auch ein #Meldeportal und die #Strafverfolgung von Personen, die Desinformationen verbreiten. Nur Ideen, die sowieso nicht umgesetzt werden?
Sollte das Ganze konsequent umgesetzt werden, kann einmal veröffentlichter Inhalt, was also VÖ, Presseerzeugnisse ect. anbelangt, auch nicht mehr abgestritten werden, kann also genauso verwendet werden, wie derzeit etwas fragwürdig bevorzugt private Kommentare, die keinem öffentlichen Funktionsträger zugeordnet werden könnnen.

Il y a exactement 20 ans, le peuple français, suivi en cela par les Néerlandais, disait non au Traité Constitutionnel Européen lors d’un référendum. Les dirigeants français ont bafoué ce vote par la signature du Traité de Lisbonne. Bien pire, ils ont cherché à faire disparaitre ce vote des mémoires. Alors que la question de la démocratie devient de plus en plus primordiale, il nous appartient de saluer cet évènement. Organisons donc, partout où nous le pouvons, des rassemblements pour le célébrer. A Paris, ce sera à 18h30 le jeudi 29 mai dans la jardin des Tuileries, allée des Feuillants, en face du 228 rue de Rivoli.
Faisons et diffusons des vidéos de ces rencontres. Diffusons des textes sur ce moment. Le Monde diplomatique, pour sa part, publie en page 3 de son numéro de mai, actuellement en vente, un article de André Bellon sous le titre « 29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non ». Vous pouvez vous le procurer dans les kiosques. En voici ci-dessous les premières lignes :
29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non
Commémorer – quel qu’en soit la manière – est censé contribuer à la cohésion nationale. Occulter ne saurait donc être sans importance. « Ce qui m’épouvante, (…) ce n’est pas que le monde moderne détruise tout, c’est qu’il ne s’enrichisse nullement de ce qu’il détruit », écrivait Georges Bernanos. Vingt ans après, que reste-t-il du référendum du 29 mai 2005 par lequel une nette majorité de Français a rejeté le traité constitutionnel européen (TCE) ? Pour beaucoup, le vague souvenir d’un vote populaire bien vite remis en cause. Dans l’ambiance délétère et incertaine de 2025, l’intérêt général ne commande-t-il pas de remettre en lumière cet événement, son sens et sa portée ?
Dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, l’idéal européen s’impose autant comme réponse aux contraintes géopolitiques que comme fantasme de paix et de dialogue entre les peuples. Dans le même temps, la Libération apporte, en France, le programme du Conseil national de la Résistance (CNR). D’un côté donc, le marché commun ; de l’autre la primauté donnée à la question sociale : cette contradiction affleure sous la IVe République comme sous le gaullisme sans que ni l’une ni l’autre ne l’arbitre vraiment. Bien qu’on ne s’en aperçut pas alors, l’élection présidentielle de 1981 tranche le nœud gordien en faveur d’une Europe néolibérale. « La France est notre patrie, l’Europe est notre avenir », anticipe François Mitterrand le 20 mars 1987, dans une allocution. L’analyse de ses deux septennats doit se poursuivre, depuis le choix qu’il fait, dès 1981, de Jacques Delors, européiste sans grandes nuances, au ministère clef de l’économie, à la signature du traité de Maastricht en 1992.

One needs Real ID to enter US federal buildings. For example for disability hearings.
For getting the real ID one needs a US birth certificate. One of my US friends was born in Germany on or near a US military base. I got her her birth certificate from the German office. It’s not considered a US birth certificate for Real ID purposes ?!?!?!
She will probably get her Real ID eventually with some extra forms but it takes forever.

Hi everyone, I'm going to use Debian with lxde on my machine and I'll need to use Filmora for video editing. Has anyone already tried it? Any problem during installation/use? Any help is appreciated
Windows apps (particularly ones that require that kind of acceleration) are unlikely to work with Wine. And if they do, either they'll be crashy, or they can break at any consequent Wine update. Forget Windows apps. Windows games that are invoking only fullscreen 3D are much more likely to work on Linux because the part that gets re-interpreted is simpler. But apps, that use obscure optimization Windows APIs are a pain to get good support of.
So, I suggest you install kdenlive or Shotcut to do video editing. Even Davinci resolve is a hit or miss on Linux and it doesn't support AAC at all. So get it done with the two OSS apps I suggested instead. In another life I was a music video director for local bands, and so I was doing a lot of color grading, invoking tricks and things that FOSS apps can't do. I switched full time to Linux and FOSS apps, and I just do the basic color grading now. It was sad to see that part of the fun go, but that's what I had to do.
Additionally Filmora is a primarily Chinese company, probably mining data, so it's best to not use it. Same for CapCut.
I prefer the UI of Shotcut, but kdenlive is admittedly more powerful. You can try both to see which one you prefer. I suggest you download the .appimage files of both of them from the website (this way you'll get the latest versions). I'd suggest against the flatpak versions as sometimes they come with limitations of various kinds. Just download their respective .appimage files, make them executable (right click on the downloaded files with your file manager and then go to their Properties to set them as executable), and then double click them to load. If you go that route, make sure you manually update them every 3 months or so, as that's when they usually release updates.

The #Mandeans claim to be the original followers of #John the #Baptist, who fled the land #Holy Land in the first century and claim to have preserved traditions independent of the emerging Christian Church in the subsequent centuries. In June 1999, I was privileged to be a part of a unique conference at Harvard University, sponsored by ARAM, at which, a group of these #ancient #Mandean #priests and laypersons demonstrated their practice of "baptism" (Masbuta) in the Charles River in Boston. This was the first time a full Mandean baptism was performed outdoors with two officiating priests in the United States. It marked a truly historic event.
This exclusive #footage, created by Jesse Buckley, son of noted Mandean scholar, Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley, Emeritus Professor at Bowdoin College, is used with permission of the Buckleys. Most important, I am publishing a full commentary on the video as a guide to understanding the complexities of these ancient practices provided by Prof. Buckley. You may access it at the link below, along with further important resources for understanding Mandeanism and its ancient connections to John the Baptist. Mandaeans revere John the Baptist and practice frequent baptism (masbuta) as a ritual of purification, not of initiation. They are possibly one of the earliest peoples to practice ritual baptism.
[3]Mandaeans undergo baptism on Sundays (Habshaba), wearing a white sacral robe ( #rasta). Baptism for Mandaeans consists of a triple full immersion in water, a triple signing of the forehead with water and a triple drinking of water.
The priest (rabbi) then removes a ring made of myrtle (klila) worn by the baptized and places it on their forehead. This is then followed by a handshake (kušṭa - hand of truth) with the priest. The final blessing involves the priest laying his right hand on the baptized person's head.[4]: 102
Living water (fresh, natural, #flowing #water, called mia hayyi)[4] is a requirement for baptism, therefore can only take place in rivers. All #rivers are named Jordan (yardena) and are believed to be nourished by the World of Light. By the river bank, a Mandaean's forehead is anointed with sesame oil (misha) and partakes in a communion of sacramental bread (pihta) and water. Baptism for Mandaeans allows for salvation by connecting with the World of Light and for forgiveness of sins.[5][6]
[7]Although masbuta rituals are typically held only in the presence of Mandaeans, a historic commemorative masbuta ceremony was held at the 13th conference of the ARAM Society (titled "The Mandaeans"), which took place during 13-15 June 1999 on the banks of the Charles River at Harvard University.[8] [9]
@elle6621 2 years ago High priests of Mandeans are called “Nazarene” which means righteous Mandean who keep the law and secret knowledge. the title of Jesus therefore was not “Jesus of Nazareth” but “Jesus the Nazarene”. They revere John the Baptist but consider Jesus a fallen student of him. Jesus misused the secret teachings who were given to him by John the Baptist. Since it’s also in Bible that John the Baptist and Jesus were related ( probably cousins), they were in the sect of Nazarenes , John the Baptist as High Priest or higher rank than Jesus.
Interestingly Mandeans work a lot with astronomy, astrology and constellations. Bible nativity story of Star of Bethlehem and three wise man from east actually allegory of star constellation which can be observed on 25th of December. Also some other symbolism like fish, fisher man ( sign of Pisces), Virgin Mary ( sign of Virgo- the virgin) even the city of Bethlehem ( Beth: house, Lehem: bread ; house of bread which also symbolizes the sign of Virgo). It seems to me that Jesus was a follower of the Mandean High priest John the Baptist, and gain some early followers from this group but rest of the Mandeans condemned him and only accepted John as a holly personality.
