  • Ignoring court orders, and “fake national emergency declarations” to create war and international extortion and remove rights and citizenships for deportations crossed the line. The voter suppression/rigging that won election for Trump is also clearly anti-democratic, but anti-democratic as usual. Media/oligarchy/Israel influence/disinformation might not make for an ideal democracy, but also “democracy as usual”.

    The big problem with the world is the US empire’s manufacturing of hatred/war against “those who are less democratic than us and our colonies” Corruption of democracy in US, who can cheaply manipulate democracy in its colonies, means that you don’t have functional democracy either. US praises the most violently oppressive apartheid ethnostates suspending federal and local elections as great democracies if they support US wars. There is something wrong when the most important issue of your government is to increase divisiveness/threats to the US’s enemies when the US unjustifiably threatens you, and that thrills you as right track.

    So, democracy is simply not working at bringing progressiveness and shared prosperity, or even the most basic understanding of humanist/national interests, to those who say they love it so much. This is global collapse level of delusion. Nations doing best economically are those distancing themselves from US colonial control.

    The more objective measure of “good government” is control against oligarchist pillaging, while having pluralism/sustainability, and economic constructiveness. US approved democracies are failing hard on these metrics. Warmongering based on “blanket, evidence free, refusal to accept election results when non-CIA candidate wins” is not the democratic/liberal ideal you think it is.






  • Seagull is a good car, but it is ultra small… The major achievement is a $300/kwh price for just the battery in China. Would be easy to pay for car just from V2G or V2H+solar value. Ultra small also means the highest efficiency, and range charged per hour.

    There are a lot of cars that are model 3 “sized”/comparable. BYD seal is $30k in China ($2000 less), and more expensive than Tesla in Germany. It might be a better car to boot, but its not helpful comparing Tesla to Seagull prices.
