  • I work with a bunch of educated conservatives, finance types. They don’t give a fuck but they get very sensitive about political discussion. They won’t care until their material conditions are (more) substantially impacted. Crash the stock market, they’ll care.

  • I mean we’re in “solar maximum”, so no real surprises. We’ve only been able to closely monitor solar activity for a few decades though.

  • Yes but they would have to be much stronger. The “Carrington Event”, for example was like X45, this one is X1.9.

  • Probably had something to do with the ostracization of Aristotle and Socrates as well

  • That is the problem with fascism in general. Going back to the Roman emperors, there is always someone waiting to slit your throat and take your place. Not very “fasce-like” in application. It’s one of the practical reasons that system was abandoned.

  • That’s all good and well but the fact of the matter is that the U.S. and western allies are intervening, and we have intervened continuously since we overthrew their secular democratic government in 1953. Since the Islamic Revolution overthrew our puppet regime in 1979, we have crippled their economy with sanctions, assassinated leaders and civilian scientists, and bombed their country. Even if you believe these revolts are 100% organic, manifesting spontaneously with no assistance or encouragement from Mossad, CIA, etc (doubtful), the context is that the people have already been victimized and pushed to the brink by western powers as much as their own government. That is context that simply cannot be ignored, particularly since this looks a lot like 1953.

  • DHS is doing exactly what it was intended to do. It exists to foment unrest, agitate political upheaval, then neutralize the heads of the activist networks. It’s the same method the military uses to take down insurgent networks in the countries we invaded.

    This has never been about immigrants, it’s just pretext.

  • We could call it “Operation Ajax Part II: The Stupiding”

  • It’s just a scam like everything else he does, a mechanism to move money around and funnel it to his political patrons, friends, and family. No doubt everyone involved knows that battle ships are basically obsolete among the great powers. It’ll end up being a comical piece of shit, but several people will have made a lot of money off the contracts.

  • Major economic unrest is on the horizon. The wealthy need the military in the streets to put down populist uprisings and prevent anything like the “New Deal” from being implemented again, so both parties will expand the authority of ICE.

  • They’re not chickenshit. They want this. The wealthy need the military in the streets to stop populist uprisings.

  • Wealthy Democratic Party donors/leaders need the military in the streets putting down populist uprisings as much as Republican ones do. Often they are the same people.

  • Do it pussy

  • We already have a thing called robots. Didn’t he say this in an assembly plant?
