If Mort Divine ruled the world

Woman charged with laundering money via bitcoin to support ISIS.
Zoobia Shahnaz, who lives in Brentwood on Long Island, was charged with bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and three counts of money laundering. The five-count indictment was unsealed Thursday in federal court in Central Islip, New York.

"The defendant defrauded numerous financial institutions and obtained over $85,000 in illicit proceeds, which she converted to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies," the DOJ explained in a statement. "She then laundered and transferred the funds out of the country to support the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham ("ISIS") ... After consummating the scheme, the defendant attempted to leave the United States and travel to Syria. Shahnaz, a U.S citizen, was arrested yesterday."

Yeah that's pretty fucking brutal. I don't want to be that guy and from all I've seen I think the scumfuck is guilty, but to cancel such a massive tour over allegations against one faggot involved with the company is pretty hysterical. They're allegations and none of them include him doing anything physical, just verbally creepy.

Seems like an overreaction.

Not in the current climate. Regardless he's the director of the company and people aren't buying that the other guy knew nothing about it. So that's that unfortunately.
 
It's not going to work I don't think. The other guy should start his own company ASAP to further disassociate from him and rebook the current bookings under the new name. Chelsea Wolfe and Wolves in the Throne Room are both also booked to play here soon.

I like that the cunt is falling back on progressive language in his apology.

Too late to virtue-signal now ol' mate, you're fucking done.

It's basically the new religious trend, ala Ted Bundy citing his viewing of pornography as a child for his own behavior, to then be accepted unquestionably by the religious right for telling them what they wanted to hear. Adopting the language of your surroundings and prey is an essential skill for any good sociopath.

Eugenics is historically tied to the progressive moment, that doesn't mean it's impossible to extricate eugenics from progressive politics.

Every imperialist regime with some mode of capitalism made others suffer through anti-capitalist acts. The Irish didn't starve because they were out-competed by superior British agriculture, they starved because the British forbade trade. Iran didn't have an uprising against the West and British Petroleum because enterprising Anglos purchased their oil fields at market value, they had an uprising because the oil fields were taken as a part of war and then later privatized.



Hardly crucial, at least to a degree that it impoverishes other nations. America was more or less isolationist until McKinley and the Spanish-American war; they had fairly high tariffs and protectionist policies, but I'm unaware of evidence that those tariffs were necessary for capitalism. The South, obviously, was quite opposed to protectionism. And it obviously does not explain how tiny city-states like Singapore, Hong Kong, etc become incredibly wealthy with virtually no military and minimal trade barriers. Protectionism has always been used as a populist ploy to convince workers that they should be honored to pay their masters more for a good than pay someone else. The continued success of neoliberal governments along with the growth of most economies worldwide, not to mention things such as the fact that countries that trade almost never go to war.



The overwhelming majority of citizens enjoy higher standards of living, even though there are obviously those that become wealthier. Where are you observing this? People predicted that outsourcing to China would only profit Nike executives and Chinese factory owners. Obviously not true; China has the largest middle-class in the world now. Their poorest are those unable to participate in capitalism, largely rural minority groups and the illiterate (both shrinking classes in China). More often than not, Western leaders in both politics and industry work together with foreign nations to ensure that things are stable.

Cuba is the most extreme success story of a communist regime (and it's worth noting that they remained poor not so much because of their leadership (which gradually mellowed and began to accept trade - albeit with a redistributive and authoritarian aim - but because of America's excessively long trade embargo), and Afghanistan was never exactly properly conquered and made an imperial possession.



Capitalism is lifting Africa out of poverty right now, thanks to China building infrastructure and bringing money in exchange for natural resources and political influence. The vast majority of the world was "third world" by current standards just 100 years ago. I don't understand how you can say that capitalism has done any good, without accepting that it enriched the once-destitute nations all over the world.

Afghanistan is poor primarily because it's a rural fundamentalist shithole filled with tribal pedophiles. The British hardly even had a chance to extract wealth out of there via any form of trade. File under halfway under #2, a USSR-curious -stan, but with other extenuating factors. Guinea I'm not familiar with; skimming Wikipedia, what makes their history particularly different from any other colonized African nation? Apparently they had a socialist revolution in the 50s-70s, nationalized any French owned industries, killed some people, etc. Obviously slavery and imperialism hurt Africa, but that wasn't capitalism. Just compare the outcome of Guinea with that of Cameroon, also a French colony but one that maintained a good trade relationship with France, now one of the more promising sub-Saharan nations. File under #1. Haiti was a nation of African slaves that killed their masters and spiraled into illiteracy and death. Compare them to their next-door neighbor in the Dominican Republic, populated with many subjugated to Spanish colonial rule, but founded in support of trade and property rights. File under #1, by proxy.

All good points, I'll keep them in mind. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to attend to all these details without skipping over things--too many things piling up at the end of the semester, and my evenings have been busy.

I find myself agreeing with a lot of what you say, and not sure that all of it contradicts what I've been saying, which leads me to believe I need to frame my comments differently. But that'll have to wait.

Never heard of this story, but lmao after realizing that she tried to use "#longlegs" and "dollface" as sexual harassment. Looks like she was thirstier than he was from that text exchange tbh. Apparently she was bothered by rumors over the relationship between them. Fuck anyone that says not defending the accuser is tantamount to supporting sexual harassment.
