Quote from: K-Dog on Oct 09, 2024, 10:56 PMMore than you are willing to admit.

You appear to be ignoring the basics of what is required for the most basic scientific career, let alone a successful one, instead choosing to read into me a caricature of some sort.

Quote from: K-DogBeing as you are not even willing to admit that the US overthrew Allende.

You mean, I didn't instantly start jumping up and down salivating over a "bad USA, no cookie for you" idea coming from the distant past? I think it is fairly well established the kind of nonsense that the CIA/USA was involved in down in South America, or in many countries where the idea seemed to be to peel back the Communist scourge. The Cold War was a thing...we've all heard of it. Did you miss out on it as it happened? Is your point that Allende was trying to do it right, appeared to be doing okay, and it wasn't fair to have bumped him off or treat him like other far more famous and accomplished communists of the time, like Stalin, Mao, and Kim ll Sung?

Quote from: K-DogA never ending shitshow of dirty tricks, and what goes around comes around.

So is your point you don't like that the US became the most powerful nation in the history of our species because it did what all the others did on its way to get there? Bump off lesser nations, create a hegemony, apply its political, economic and military power to its own advantage? In this case, so that normal working folks like you could own million dollar homes and luxury cars for all retired folk in the family? And then this behavior generates blow back such as 9/11? Seems more like a perfectly predictable event to me. And par for the course of what has happened across history to the nations capable of achieving the kind of power that the US now has. The Romans weren't too thrilled with Carthage, in case you somehow think this is about politics as opposed to just people being people.

You never answered me before, because while I am able to answer nearly any question asked of me, you can't even admit that your kitchen in your nice house doesn't look anything like the Communist kitchen picture I posted, and you sure as hell wouldn't trade yours for that one. Want to bet the owwer of the commie kitchen I posted didn't even have access to fine German luxury cars, let alone the ability to purchase one?
