And yetYes, and we greatly value our fighting Aussie Allies who have fought shoulder to shoulder with us. You do not speak for America, or for the Aussies.I think you mean fake history.Fake News.climate change is a hoax in the sense that silly communists and socialists in America are making you believe that if you drive a Prius it will make a difference while China and India are adding tremendously to the net carbon content of the atmosphere every day and will continue to do so for decades to come. If it is real the solution is Geo engineering not battery powered cars.give us an example of when "unregulated capitalism" mass killed.Liberty is find, rejected scientific evidence or any source that does not tell you what you want to hear is not intellectual liberty however, it is mental slavery.
So, socialism just killed 120 million. It is by far the most evil idea in human history and yet Democrats embrace it. It that scientific thinking and plain pure stupidity??
Totolitarian communism killed more than that actually.
As raw, unregulated capitalism has mass killed as well. The trans Atlantic slave trade enslaved 10 million to 12 million and there are no reliable figures on how many died. The Irish potato famine occurred largely due to capitalist notions the market should sort it out and the state not provide mass aid. The list could go on and on as capitalist exploitation of global resources led to global colonialism in the 19th century which killed hundreds of million.
Extremes of any economic ideology kills.
Democratic social welfare states such as Norway or Denmark actually proved their people with a better overall standard of living than the USA.
Slavery is not a feature of capitalism, moron. Capitalism did not cause the Irish Potato famine. It was the British government that prevented the import of grain to Ireland. That has nothing to do with the free market.
You list is full of the typical bogus examples. When Gengis Khan wiped out entire nations, was that capitalism? Can you define precisely what you believe capitalism is?
I just did, slavery was totally based on capitalism, every historian on the planet will tell you that.
The Triangular Trade, which connected capitalist trading connections with the policy of capitalism. Indeed every aspect of capitalism drove the slave trade, from the rise of insurance to cover risk of the voyages and losses of dead slaves to stock markets which floated stocks in slave trading companies to credit extended with slaves as collateral.
Most of Thomas Jefferson's wealth was due to loans based on his slaves as colleterial.
No you didn't give an example, moron. capitalism is not compatible with slavery.
You are dismissed.
The Irish Potato Famine was directly caused by capitalist philosophy. The British government was being flooded with pleas to offer help, they refused because it violated their capitalist ideology government should not intervene in what they saw as a market rather than a humanitarian disaster.
One could go on and on through the evolution of capitalism.
The British government prevented Ireland from importing grain. A famine caused by government is not an example of capitalism.
You're a moron.
The slaughter of the Native American tribes was often driven by capitalist greed for land, either by individuals or capitalist organisations. The Black Hills were taken from the Native Americans not by the government, but by capitalist individuals and mining companies searching for gold against the government's objections for a time.
In the first place, there's no credible argument that native Americans owned the black hills. In the second place, you're blaming capitalism for government policy. Apparently, no matter what the government does, capitalism is to blame. That's a stupid argument.
And now we come to the biggie, global warming, which if we do nothing about it will end up killing hundreds of millions, that is directly caused by capitalist development of fossil fuels and the capitalist idea consumption and economies should ever grow.
Global warming is a hoax, If anything, fewer people will die if the global climate warms.
International Relief Efforts During the Famine - Irish America
The Irish government designated 17 May 2009 as the first National Famine Memorial Day. On that day, Irish people throughout the world remembered and honored the victims of Ireland’s Great […]irishamerica.com
"Despite the shortages, the British government decided not to interfere in the marketplace to provide food to the poor Irish, but left food import and distribution to free market forces. Moreover, they allowed foodstuffs – vast amounts of foodstuffs – to be exported from Ireland. Merchants made large profits while people starved. "
That's a giant lie. The British government outlawed the import of cheap American grain.
You need to quit reading Marxist propaganda.
It is clear if you actually read historians and not just the voices in your mind, the British government did not provide relief because they believed market forces should sort it out and even allowed capitalist traders to make money exporting food away from Ireland.
They allowed the free market to make all the decisions and it caused mass death.
Now you can call historians liars because they are telling you something you do not want to know, but that does not make it any less a historical fact.
The Black Hills never belonged to the Lakota Souix?
Not according to the Fort Laramie Treaty between the United States and the Sioux Nation unambiguously recognized their ownership of the land. It is just capitalists Americans rushed in and ignored the treaty to get gold, against the wishes of the US government.
Climate Change a hoax.
So is gravity I suppose or the Moon landing?

Yes the moon landing was a hoax and 5G towers will control your mind and vaccines are mind control drugs.
Well America has not been able to win the last two wars, and then there is Vietnam.Because Australians have been winning wars left and right, and inventing shit left and right... We had to bail your dingo asses out with a crippled navy from the Japanese. while bailing out your brothers across the pond from the nazis, all while bailing out the soviets with weapons and equipment. How many countries are you protecting with your aircraft carriers...oh wait you have none. Y’all can’t even protect your tourist from crocodiles. Oh yeah, let’s not forget, you can count the war against ISIS, the only terrorist organization to take and hold mass swathes of land and operate as a country, as a win for the US. We’re the only ones holding China and Russia at bay The only ones to actually do something when assholes use chemical weapons against civilian pops. Name me something Australia has done or stop talking shit, go back to your stupid island, and get bit by your stupid trap door spiders, and die of priapismScience doesn't have anything to do with "official positions." That's politics, not science.You mean some political hacks in NASA believe in it. As a space agency, Nasa political hacks make great climate scientists.You believe in global warming, so you don't believe in the scientific method.Facts? The only thing you threw out was Vox bullshit.Nobody cares about your healthcare system....especially the spin from America hating Vox idiots.BECUASE YOU SEND YOUR WORST CANCER PATIENTS TO US TO FIX. Ipso facto, y’all fucks don’t take the hit in death rates. We take on the worst cases, and still have a better death rate than all of y’all. Turns out, it’s pretty easy to take care of healthy people. In Europe they go to Switzerland. What’s the last medical innovation that came out of Australia? At least the French have Sanofi. Stop fucking swimming in our wake. We’re basically subsidizing the entire globes R+D. We’ve been subsidizing NATOs defense spending for decades. We just invented a goddamn missile that goes Mach 45. Why? Because y’all made incredibly stupid deals with China and now you’re having buyers remorse. And now we’re gonna have to arm you once again. What have you done recently for me Australia? The fucking gall of you foreigners who come here and lecture us about our politics while we’re the ones putting in the elbow grease to make YOUR lives better, healthier, and safer.You mean our health care system that bodies the DHSC for legit life threatening diseases like cancer. Our health care system where you can actually get the surgery you need within a week. Our healthcare system that the rest of the world, except Switzerland, has been leaching off of our innovation and the tens of billions we drop into R+D every year. That healthcare system? Y’all treat the healthy for dumb shit like broken arms and infections, while taxing the fuck out of your citizens and pretend like you’re hero’s for doing so. Meanwhile Canada sends all their cancer patients TO ME, to get the very best treatment that WE develop, and then pay for it. Your nurses and doctors are garbage. When y’all can start actually saving your cancer patients and stop sending them to me, and actually preform surgeries on things like joint replacements that aren’t outdated 30 years, when your hospitals have as many top of the line critical care beds as ours do, when you actually do your part in the world and start developing drugs, procedures, and technologies...then you can lecture us on our healthcare.Also, we pay our hospitals more for treating COVID, so anyone who dies, that has COVID is listed as a "COVID" death, whereas in most countries unless COVID is actually what caused your death, your cause of death is not listed as COVID. It's not an apples to apples comparison.America is far from the worst record when it comes to covid deaths and far from the best.NO. That is NOT the case throughout the world unless the CDC is now managing the health of the entire planet.And that of course would be the case through out the world, so we can still rationally compare outcomes and Germany's outcome is much better than America's.
The subject is how the CDC inflated deaths in the US by attributing all deaths to the Chinese originated
covid virus if the virus was present at all. So much so that the CDC was pressured into changing that policy.
Nevertheless that policy was in place for months and the US death toll remains inflated and uncorrected
and you remain disingenuous.
All countries are using that methodology, they have an "excess death mythology" as defined as " A range of estimates for the number of excess deaths was calculated as the difference between the observed count and one of two thresholds (either the average expected count or the upper bound threshold), by week and jurisdiction. Negative values, where the observed count fell below the threshold, were set to zero."
And the method of if one did not have a prognosis of death within the year and contracted COVID it is counted across the globe as a Covid related death.
There is no world health body, or American for that matter, which believes the USA is doing well in this pandemic.
Just wishing Americans were not dropping like flies by playing semantics with the numbers is not going to save any American lives.
I know it serves your agenda to state otherwise, however. Saying we are "dropping like flies" is disingenuous and misleading and it won't win Joe the election you so desperately want.
Nothing will including all the post election chaos and disorder the left has planned.
As things stand right now we will have a covid vaccine soon and society will begin to come out of
politicized lockdown box leftist swine has tried to keep us in.
Joe Biden and all the Karens can wear their little masks all day long, if it thrills them to do so.
Only Spain in Europe has a worse death per 100K rate right now.
As in the chart I have provided in this thread many times.
Just to be clear....
There are other countries...just not in Europe....that have worse rates.
Medical stats from country to country are NEVER an apples-to-apples comparison, because they don't compile ANY medical stats the same way we do. How many times have we heard the canard that infant mortality in the US is so much worse than the rest of the world, only to find out that it's largely because other countries simply don't count children who die in the first week of life as ever having existed at all?
On COVID the death rates per 100k most developed nations are using the same method, indeed it is the USA that most world health bodies are concerned are vastly under reporting due to your fragment health care system run by 50 different states. Some estimates are that the USA is under reporting by 33%.
Me and my wife both work in one of the largest hospitals right next to the covid epicenter. We’re over reporting. 100%. Notice how the flu has effectively disappeared? In this current “spike”, we have 6 covid patients who are actually suffering from covid, among other things.
Australia has similar wait times as the USA, in fact shorter wait times for GP visits, yet gets far better results in every macro category except breast cancer treatment, and even there we are just behind the USA.
All at much cheaper cost.
No we do not actually.
Australia has the best cancer treatment survival rates in the world.
Australia leads global cancer survival rates – but more can be done
An international study shows Australians have the best chance of survival for seven types of cancers.www1.racgp.org.au
Here is a good article about Australian heath care and why over all it gets better outcomes than the USA at much lower cost.
What Australia can teach America about health care
Why the Australian system might represent a realistic path forward for the US.www.vox.com
You don't have to care.
You can continue to naval gaze as many Americans love to do.
I am just throwing the facts out there for the intelligent minority of Americans to consider.
Intelligent people learn from the rest of the world, both good and bad.
I understand, the cult of Trump only believes anything Trump says, nothing else.
All cults work this way.
You sound as if you are involved in the cult of the bubble.
A real true believer.
Though only thing I believe in is scientific method, blue skies and cold Australian beer, the rest is just an opinion.
Yes I do and so does NASA.
Climate Change Evidence: How Do We Know?
The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia.climate.nasa.gov
No that is the official position of the agency as well as most scientists (though not all) in the entire world.
I am sure you can find a few meth addles scientists who disagree.
Plenty of real scientists disgree. NASA bureaucrats are not scientists.
You do know NASA has scientists in it?
They put a man on the moon, not the PR guy announcing how they did it.
Jesus American education has totally collapsed since I left.
And you have never won a war since I left.
My leaving was a tragedy for America.
Still we are a small nation, we will never be a global power but we do like our global power of choice to be competent, and America is not at the moment.
As to WWII we were fighting in World War Two while Americans were hiding behind two oceans pretending it had nothing to do with the USA.
Pearl Harbour woke you up from that cowardly dream.
And Australians are the first nation in World War Two to have a victory over Japanese forces in a land battle at Kokoda.
The Japanese had advanced to within sight of Port Moresby but withdrew on 26 September. They had outrun their supply line and had been ordered to withdraw in consequence of reverses suffered at Guadalcanal where US Marines were kicking their asses.
16 November, 1942, two brigades of the Australian 7th Division had crossed the Kumusi River at Wairopi, and advanced on the Japanese beachheads in a joint Australian and United States operation. So you are bad-mouthing us when we were fighting shoulder to shoulder with you and together we were prevailing.
Of course America was the critical power in that war.
Fake News. We are better. When we entered WWII, Japan was battle hardened and we were not. Much of their equipment was superior and they were better at using it. Today there is no force on the face of the earth that can make that claim about US forces or equipment.... It is just the present generation of Americans are not up to the level of that Greatest Generation.
You are not even close...
Of course, I speak for myself.
But I live in Australia, a wise nation sees how the are viewed in the world at large.
After going into two disastrous wars with America, Afghanistan and Iraq, the latter which was one of the most incompetently executed in American history, later observing the profanity and gross behaviour of President Trump (polls of Australians reveal most want Biden to win) and witnessing the total incompetence of Americas pandemic response, most Australians do not admire present day America.
Even if they do like the saner, less ever angry, Americans among you.
The oceans have been rising for 20,000 years, and the current rate of rise is 1/2 the 20,000 year rate. True or False?Fake news. There was no "scheduled date" for the next glacial advance.That's pure bunk. We have no idea what temperature fluctuations were like 6000 years ago. The granularity of our records is measured in hundreds of years. You can't legitimately claim our temperatures have departed from anything. There is nothing unusual about our current warming.We have been in a long term cooling trend for 6,000 years, True or False?You believe in global warming, so you don't believe in the scientific method.Facts? The only thing you threw out was Vox bullshit.Nobody cares about your healthcare system....especially the spin from America hating Vox idiots.BECUASE YOU SEND YOUR WORST CANCER PATIENTS TO US TO FIX.

Climate Change Evidence: How Do We Know?
The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia.climate.nasa.gov
The Holocene climate was warming and actually proves our current warming in large part iscaused by humans. The warming 6,000 years ago was caused by Earth orbital changes which are currently not occurring or causing such rapid warming.
This is actually more evidence of human caused global warming in our time.
Mid-Holocene Warm Period – About 6,000 Years Ago | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) formerly known as National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)
Paleoclimatologists have long suspected that the "middle Holocene," roughly from 7,000 to 5,000 years ago, was warmer than the present day.www.ncdc.noaa.gov
" Moreover, we clearly know the cause of this natural warming, and we know without doubt that this proven "astronomical" climate forcing mechanism cannot be responsible for the warming over the last 100 years."
Here is a basic primer on why previous climate changes are not proof this climate change is not man made, rather proof it is.
"The Earth was indeed cooling over the last 6,000 years due to Earth's orbit, heading into the next glacial phase scheduled for about the year 3500 AD. But all that changed when we got to the industrial era. Global temperatures departed from that cooling trend, and instead rose parallel with our greenhouse gas emissions."
What does past climate change tell us about global warming?
Natural climate change in the past proves that climate is sensitive to an energy imbalance. If the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up. Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Past climate change actually provides evidence for our...skepticalscience.com
I quote the link below again.
"The Earth was indeed cooling over the last 6,000 years due to Earth's orbit, heading into the next glacial phase scheduled for about the year 3500 AD....
Fake News, temperatures began recovering at the end of the little ice age, and with warming temperatures, we get rising CO^2 levels, and earth's processes convert some of the excess CO^2 into living cells.... But all that changed when we got to the industrial era. Global temperatures departed from that cooling trend, and instead rose parallel with our greenhouse gas emissions. "...
We are cooler than we were 5,000 years ago.... We should be in a cooling period...
No. The last interglacial lasted about 15,000 years, and we are pacing fairly consistently with that. Everything is as expected.... denilist cheery....You are the one promoting a Doomsday Cult, I'm just pointing out that the evidence doesn't support your claims, which is the way with doomsday cults. They point to a date when the world is supposed to end, and then they are disappointed when the date passes uneventfully.... Climate change denial has all the hallmarks of faith or religion, it only sees what it wants to see....
Your fake news is faker than the fake news you think is fake news.
The science is clear if you could understand it, the oribital causes of climate change was seeing us going into a cooling period well into the next thousand years but the carbon released from the industrial revolution changed all that.
I think I will trust the majority of climate scientists and NASA before I will trust a cult member always chanting "fake news" when confronted with scientific information they simply do not want to believe.
One of these days, I am going to have to give a fuck about all this.
Sunny I like you.
