This is loony, all these guys knew eachother for years before and have cordial if nor friendly relationships. The Clintons, Trump, Bushes, Obamas, etc.

In 2016 65% of Trump supporters believed Obama was secretly Muslim. [0]

Trump claimed that Obama was "the founder of Isis" and claimed MANY times that he was not born in the United States. [1]

So yes, he is completely loony... and very blatantly a racist who sends dogwhistles to other racists regularly.

No, he is not friends with Obama or Biden. In fact, Trump is the first president in 150 years to refuse to attend the inauguration of his competitor after losing. [2]

There is no such thing as "international law", and never has been. Land belongs to people who can control it, and always has.


Not in a civilized society.

And I don't think there are many people that would prefer to live under 'might is right'.

Or at least they'd find out pretty quick that it's not exactly what they thought it might be.


we literally already live under "might is right"

that's all "the law" is in the first place - Power making rules and enforcing them through threat of exercising said power.


Nazi says that, yes. That was the cornerstone of that ideology and good people hope they will be defeated again.


Communist say that too as do socialist as do almost all ideology. Why do anyone want to give their power in your land to any other politically motivated entity.


Why indeed.

And yet: https://www6.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/cth/HCA...

  The new doctrine of native title replaced a seventeenth century doctrine of terra nullius on which British claims to possession of Australia were justified on a wrongful legal presumption that Indigenous peoples had no settled law governing occupation and use of lands. In recognising that Indigenous peoples in Australia had prior rights to land, the Court held that these rights, where they exist today, will have the protection of the Australian law until those rights are legally extinguished.

Did I say that? I just said no one wants to give power over their land. Countries would want international law to protect them. That's why international law exists.

I don't think there is any country which explicitly mentions that international law would supersede their law.


> I don't think there is any country which explicitly mentions that international law would supersede their law.

All EU countries agree on the supremacy of EU law, so that's not quite correct.


The initial statement was:

* " Land belongs to people who can control it, and always has."

* @watwut asserted: "Nazi says that, yes."

* @YetAnotherNick expanded on that "Communist say that too as do socialist as do almost all ideology."

* @YetAnotherNick then "asked" (perhaps rhetorically) "Why do anyone want to give their power in your land to any other politically motivated entity."

* @defrost provided an example of a legal doctrine that returned significant areas of land to original first inhabitants after that land had been claimed by others with crown troops.

Now that land belongs to people that lack force to control it, and it was given to them by people that considered it their land by colonisation.

If you're interested in the answer to the question you posed "Why do anyone want to give their power in your land to any other politically motivated entity." (which isn't entirely well posed) then perhaps the reasoning of the judges in the Mabo case might give you some insight into their thinking.


Just to reiterate, countries want protection without giving up power. International law is middle ground where countries get protection by giving up some power.

Can you specify which part are you disagreeing with rather than give AI powered summary of thread.


Communists did not had that as a cornerstone ideology the way nazi had. For nazi this was one of the core beliefs.

Exactly as it is for Trump.

Communists seen themselves in ideological fight and communist leadership was also about giving power to "politically motivated entity".


Agreed, been this way for 30 years, and significant amount of effort by him and warp have been adding to cult of his mystique(actually many electronic music artists in the 90s/early 2000s). He is one of the last popular electronic musicians younger generations of "#DAWLESS" guys like now because he kept up that mystique which is basically impossible to have now in the current social media era.

I remember buying some of his tapes and cd's from Amoeba music in 1999 and the feeling they gave me. I often wonder what its like to been born in 2010 and never experiencing this.


> I often wonder what its like to been born in 2010 and never experiencing this.

It’s always amusing to see these cycles continue. If his music is indeed as good as you claim it will still be listened to - just as so much of the best music of the last 75 years is. People have been lamenting the loss of the thing they felt was their transformative experince, and each generation keeps finding a new generation defining experience


Thats actually not what I meant. I meant the experience of owning music on cd's/records/tapes. This cant really be experienced anymore since every song ever released can be immediately streamed. Sure you can buy vinyl or cd's at shows but it isnt the same because back then it was radio or buy/own the stuff

And my other point was how lots of electronic musicians seemed so distant and mysterious because they weren't livestreaming and and social media that made them/their personality/tweets etc available.

as for AFX, I think like one in 15 of his songs are amazing, the rest is just noise/filler


your generation never experienced putting your hands, as a kid, into a thin block of metal that can play all the movies and music and books ever produced (or most)

i installed a pirated copy of Windows XP through floppy disks and i had a CD walkman. i was still a teen when i got a ipod touch 2gen. the latter was much more magical to me. sometimes i stare at my android phone with the screen locked thinking how impressive the tech is. termux x11 can go a long way. i don't wear rose tinted glasses even though my childhood was a freaking blast


for me it is pirating everything since since the video stores closed down and never giving any money to any of these companies


is there any proof that they are fishermen?


how do you know?


this is obviously to prepare us for strikes on venezuelas main land


innocent fisher catching fish with submarines?
