Participate in your local communist party and labor union movement :)

In the other thread @Farm Boy and @El_Machinae were exploring the idea of whether the Taliban are committing genocide against the women of Afghanistan. Corollary to this is the idea that the US/coalition forces are complicit in this genocide by withdrawing from Afghanistan. Here's a thread to...

Just started up a game as Korea, and get BW from a goody hut :cool: then proceed with my warrior to a second goody hut, and unlock.... Iron Working!! :lol: With iron in my capital's BFC.

Obama said "you didn't make the roads and bridges", in fact. He of course did not tell business owners that they did not make their businesses.

All eyes turn to the runoffs in Georgia, which will decide control of the Senate for the next two years. I decided to make a separate thread for them so that the 2020 election thread can be for picking apart the results we already have. The current votes: Loeffler and Warnock were in a...

So my brother is working on a Civ 3 mod and I searched for the Civ 3 tech tree because we were talking about it, and was able to find it on CivFanatics, natch, but the page is slightly broken. One can google search "Civ 3 [age] tech tree" and the page will come up, but once it does the links to...

Liberals: "let's get a round of applause for our retail and grocery store workers they are true heroes seeing us through this crisis" Also liberals: "what no you can't pay grocery store workers more than minimum wage, that's above the m̸a̸r̶k̵e̵t̸̶ v̸̖̊̅̓̈́́ã̸̻̞l̵̞̰̮̼̀ư̸̛̥̰̒e̴̬̫̼͠...

Lexicus' original post from the first thread: We all know the deal so I figured I'd take the opportunity to just go ahead and make this thread to discuss the 2020 US elections. Maybe at some point closer to the actual event we can have a thread about the Congressional side of things and the...

One of the major points of MMT is that monetary policy alone is insufficient to maintain economic policy goals like full employment. lmao what? MMT is literally all about how policy and spending decisions are made by human actors. It's neoclassical economics which handwaves all of this with...

New rave thread as per accepted practice Rave: I just got a haircut and my girlfriend tells me I look like a handsome boi :) edit: the list of links to previous threads added because I am a man of the people:

Reminisce about times now gone, experiences you wish you could have again etc. For me: playing Pokemon for the first time as a kid. And summers at the pool, swim practice in the morning then spending all afternoon with the boys going off the diving board

For those of us in the northern hemisphere it has been officially summer for almost a week now! I want to hear fellow CFC'ers summer soundtracks, this can be music that you think is inherently summery in some way, or music that you personally connect to summer for whatever reason. For me these...

Curious about any members' experiences with the ongoing federal government shutdown. I just returned to DC after my long vacation in New Jersey and didn't see much difference between this and a normal day. I have heard of some issues with staffing at airports, and apparently downtown DC is...

We all know the deal so I figured I'd take the opportunity to just go ahead and make this thread to discuss the 2020 US elections. Maybe at some point closer to the actual event we can have a thread about the Congressional side of things and the Presidential side of things. Maybe we can just...

I just seen an article about it and I like it. https://theintercept.com/2018/08/21/elizabeth-warren-unveils-radical-anti-corruption-platform/ I like this idea. Goes without saying that it's got no shot of getting anywhere under current circumstances. The question is, will it have a shot if...

Maybe someone can convince me that the detention centers described in this article aren't concentration camps. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/how-joe-arpaio-inspired-the-immigration-crackdown/554027/ The political economy of it: Here is the kind of public safety threats...

As you've probably seen somewhere or other, Trump has decided to reinstate the nuclear sanctions against Iran, which means the JCPOA is dead. What will the consequences be? I can guess some. US is further isolated on the international stage. This is more confirmation that foreign governments...

Let's keep this going, I was enjoying it. I've always thought Axum was a pretty cool city name. Onondaga too.

...is, of course, the right. The notion of PC leftists stifling the free exchange of ideas on college campuses has become a trope at this point. But it is also absolute nonsense. Now, at this point I'm going to prove my own point to some extent by engaging in a mandatory disclaimer: I don't...
