Kibble was ‘invented’ during ww2 as a way to get around shortages on metal for canning. But it’s essentially pemmican with below human grade standards. Works fine for dogs, manages to work well enough for cats to survive, so an industry was born even when the material shortages ended.

They don’t particularly like fish nor do they digest it well.

It is however extremely stinky and is typically the meatiest, fleshiest material they eat when they otherwisr have a life of kibble or canned foods. And for that reason they tend to ravenously enjoy tunafish.

Hey, the social democrats only formed a coalition with insurrectionist monarchists, like Erich Ludendorff, to kill Rosa for them, so that they could maintain the government they inherited from the Kaiser ahead of elections.

Gotta be fair about these things! This is just Freikorps erasure!

Mars is doing the me gusta meme face.

Ebert would’ve preferred a return to monarchy. His version of democracy and the party was the one that existed within the Prussian Kingdom and the German Empire.

While the Freikorps were the proto-nazis, in Ebert’s time they were still mostly just monarchists and military aristocracy who opposed the republic. They all hated the Nazis for being peasants, but agreed with their policies nonetheless.

What I mean is the way tankie is used as a pejorative isn’t really about defining a tangible political group so much as saddling socialists with answering for, or plain being, nazbols.

This is usually how users that use the ‘tankie’ as a pejorative out themselves as anti-leftist or just plain uninformed. There’s already a term for those who support that kind of fascistic rhetoric: Nazbols.

Either they don’t know the term, or they do and choose not to. The former owns up quick, the latter digs in and keeps on a grudge about it.

No surprises here.

They could probably find a native cordgrass and plant a perimeter of it around the pool to pretty decent effect I’d say.

I mean that’s still probably not the population of California.

We are operating from a position of strength!

Odd number for the list, okay. Not 12 more? One less? Not any other number?

Consider the context that World War 1’s conclusion left multiple imperial monarchies in ashes. The kind of government in question is one that is directly being sanctioned by aristocratic monarchy. The bourgeioise were and were working with kings and noble families as a matter of status quo, who had just spent years sending entire townships to the meatgrinder.

Yes, but at a time when social democratic parties in europe hadn’t quite formally formed or split into discernable socialist factions. The Social Democrats in Germany were in active coalition with monarchist anti-republic paramilitaries and had inherited the government from the abdicating kaiser. The KPD didn’t exist yet, and this was technically an internal critique of the Social Democratic Party of which she was a member.

At the same time, the Social Democrats in Russia included Lenin.

At any rate it isn’t worth giving the freikorps a pass by omission when unearthing conflicts about the SPD.

I can see that interpretation, since he IS a small business owner of an oyster farm.

Having been a shellfish farmer myself, but on the west coast, my perspective is that it’s closer to tenant farming than being petit bourgeoisie. The self employed and small growers all had to rent tideflats to work.

But yes, ultimately it is the same function since some other owners as I remember absolutely were just seeking to separate themselves from labor.

It really kind of is. The bar is so low.

But without disputing who he is: his net worth is around the same (Stated as under $165k) as the median American ($125k). He’s categorically not a part of the wealth class, and he at least seems to know it.

That kind of class consciousness on the American national stage from a white man veteran? I think that’s relatable to a giant swath of otherwise apolitical or even chuddy Americans.

If he can stick to his principles on policy in Congress and even just be the new Bernie, he’s going to resonate strongly with the post-9/11 military community. If that faction can even so much as look at the left outside their crosshairs, it’ll be a significant shift.

He’s worth the shot in Maine, I think.

Impenetrable. Perfection.

There’s no Cuomo or Adams left to stay in the race. It is just Platner and Collins now. So unless you’re down with more Collins, it’s Platner for Mainers.

Kavernacle and Bad Empanada seem to be fully on the internet clout train.

Allergic to the idea that leftism, or even antizionism, can win.

The investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing.

The whole ‘run government like a business’ idea usually entails running it into the ground. It’s just a more diplomatic way to express wanting to remove social services from people.
