not doing a single thing to stop it.

That's hyperbole. A lot of people, everywhere, are doing lots to mitigate fascism.

If you're into blaming your troubles on poor people and punishing them for it then it's a good deal I guess.

What a silly thing to say. Of course she was viable.

Yeah they "should" be, but I don't really think it's practically possible to implement and enforce a rule like that.

Yes but she wasn't a viable president so you wasted your vote.

Sure ok but to make that point you have to skip over all the other significant impediments to this plan.

You need to build, staff, and supply a local manufacturing plant for toothbrushes.

This is no small thing and not something that can be created overnight. It's not even as simple as "building" a factory... you need the supply chain, and most of the requisite supplies probably come from China - plastic to make the brush head, plastic to make the handles, machines to form the plastic, and technicians to maintain those machines. If you want to invent all these things locally and avoid the retaliatory tariffs from China, that's going to take decades.

During those decades consumers will be buying the tariffed Chinese toothbrushes wondering why the fuck everything from toothbrushes to shampoo to laundry powder to televisions costs twice as much as it does in any other country.

So my whole point is, there's a "threat" to Chinese producers but it's not very likely to materialise because the US will lose the political will to maintain the tariffs long before locally made products appear.

I would have no quarms about profiting from these idiots

ceasefire right now because of Trump

Oh yes. I think he magically created this ceasfire right before floating his plan for ethnic cleansing right?

they didn’t want Harris to win.

Oh, silly me. So they wanted Trump to win?

"Peace" isn't really an objective given that you'd have Peace the day after you ground palestinians into the dust.

Netanyahu certainly cares who the president of the United States is, who do you think he wants to be president?

Why wouldn’t I?

Because you've enabled Trump to grind palestinians into the dust.

Who do you think Palestinians wanted to win the election?

So you didn't do anything to avoid a Trump presidency. That's inaction.

A lame deflection.

It's very obvious to everyone that Palestinians are much worse off now.

Oh man.

First time round you said "The aboriginal people were the first of Homo Sapiens to leave Africa." I merely responded that might be misleading.

it’s not disputable that Aboriginals were in the first wave of humanity to leave Africa.

No one is disputing that Aboriginals, along with every other race, descended from the first wave of humanity to leave Africa. That's what the article you linked from the smithsonian says. Well done.

You're conflating being the first to become Isolated (in Australia and New Guinea) with being the first to leave Africa.

But they did have to sail across the open ocean and did have to construct vessels that would allow them to do that.

Aboriginals migrated to Australia via land bridges and short sea crossings over the course of many thousands of years. If you want to call a hunter in a dug out canoe a technological achievement then you're welcome to.

they lived with them for 17,000 years.

This claim is derived from the existence of a single fossil. As you're no doubt aware, this is a subject of hot debate. Wikipedia says:

the main mechanism for extinction was human burning of a landscape that was then much less fire-adapted; oxygen and carbon isotopes of teeth indicate sudden, drastic, non-climate-related changes in vegetation and in the diet of surviving marsupial species. However, early Aboriginal peoples appear to have rapidly eliminated the megafauna of Tasmania about 41,000 years ago (following formation of a land bridge to Australia about 43,000 years ago as Ice Age sea levels declined) without using fire to modify the environment there, implying that at least in this case hunting was the most important factor. It has also been suggested that the vegetational changes that occurred on the mainland were a consequence, rather than a cause, of the elimination of the megafauna.

Genocide is the worst situation

Very obviously a false dichotomy.

Do you think Palestinians wanted Trump to win?

Yeah well see we talked to all the neighbors but they didn't want them so unfortunately some of them may have gotten in the way when we bulldozed the site ready to lay the foundations for the new condos. /s

I didn’t vote for genocide.

Do you feel ok about that in the context of what's about to happen in Palestine?

It's genuinely saddening to see you're still here parroting these lines after the bots have long since packed up and gone home.
