Port forwarding is necessary due to NAT not firewalls.

It's not that your router blocks new incoming connections at port X, it's that it does not know which local client it's meant for, since it's addressed to the public IP that is held by your router.

With IP6 it's lan client also gets assigned a public IP6 address (as there are plenty) and so the router receives a connection addressed to a Lan client and knows where to route it.

Not saying that’s not a great idea, but just think of what it would entail - for starters, who would be the commander in chief of a European army?

Not a foreign adversary, probably France

The EU needs to remove all us military from it's territory, replicate any NATO structures as EU ones and even make sure there are no people in our armies with confused loyalties. This needed to happen before Trump even became a candidate for 2016.

I 've seen it. You want to rename the axes. The US Democrats are socially progressive right wingers, Zapatero is socially progressive left winger.

I am also not denying that there different dimensions of politics ideologies and that people can hold different combinations of them.

But neoliberalism is a position in the left-right axis. On the right. If you describe someone as a neoliberal you are describing a right winger. They might be socially progressive or they might not be. I also expect that whatever else they are they will primarily act based on their neoliberal convictions. Just like I expect the US Democrats (at least the high profile officials and politicians) to put neo liberalism before social progress.

Even in those systems the positions on capitalism are on the horizontal, left to right axis. Because when talking about politics left and right are used to describe positions on capitalism.

Neoliberalism is a pro capitalism ideology therefore it's a right wing ideology.

That people may not hold political ideologies is irrelevant to neoliberalism being a right Wong ideology. Its also not a new phenomenon by any means.

What is there to reconcile?

They are not part of the left. They are more moderate than neoliberals since they do (in theory) believe that capitalism must be at least somewhat regulated unlike neo liberals.

Well this thread is ample proof on why you can't trust American "leftists"/"progressives"/etc.

The jingoism runs deep and there is no low they want drop to to defend their country and their golden idols.

You could just admit that Sanders can be wrong, but so many just chose to go "actually, he is not wrong, the US sometimes supports democracies instead of dictators."

[–] freeman 11 points 2 months ago

Yes it does. Supporting countries that happen to be democracies as well as supporting countries that happen to be dictatorships according to your national interests is far different from supporting democracy as a goal.

Are non yanks allowed to factcheck Sanders' pro USA propaganda?

Neoliberalism is a pro capitalism, free markets and deregulation ideology. That makes it inherently right wing.

Do you have to be an ancap to be considered right wing in your viewpoint?

[–] freeman 9 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Neoliberalism is a right wing ideology, not center-left.

Its an action game with RPG like stst systems.

Even if all the ice melts (when there are going to be real problems) Russia doesn't have anywhere near the capacity to launch an amphibious attack against Canada.

Taking into account how their invasion of Ukraine, with massive land borders, was botched, there is no chance they ll succeed.
