Well, I’ve got good news for you, “Trump” is derived from Drumpf. So he’s already kind of doing the Amerigo/America thing.

To be fair, devils advocate, whatever. These stolid immovable morons aren’t, at least some of them as evil as they appear. Their opinions are likely informed by prejudice, yes. But the root cause of the prejudice, and the reason why they remain unphased by incontrovertible evidence against their position is one and the same: they are very poorly educated. Which is exactly how the system is designed. And the real insidious bit is that when we reprimanded them for their lack of basic humanity, they only internalize the insults, and it feeds their carefully cultivated persecution complex. The Ronald Reagans of the world have successfully created a race of mole-people, born without eyes with which to see facts. If you show them facts, the facts don’t register at all. They don’t know what a fact is. They just hear the tone of your voice and the anger or pity in your eyes, and feel threatened or insulted. Whatever the solution is, it wont be as easy as sound logic. And for their part, they aren’t inherently evil. They are the products of government abuse.

Dead dove, do not eat.

Silver lining: we have always and will always exist, they will only exist intermittently. We have always, and will always out number them.

Optimistic: glacial progress is still progress.

Pessimistic: Why bother planting a tree who’s shade you will never enjoy.

The only way we can truly fail is to adopt their mercenary “what’s in it for me” way of thinking.

If you consider real estate prices they already do charge for clean air. And any time the climate disasters get a little too difficult to ignore they can always hop on a flight to Cancún.

I find it unintentionally funny that it says “liberty 1776-2026” implying that 2026 marks the death of liberty, and seemingly attributes this to Turnip.

I had to look it up, the striped building with the dome is from Epstein’s Island.

Shouldn’t the boomers be Krabs and the robot be ai slop?

I find it slightly ironic that “America” is derived from Amerigo, as in Amerigo Vespucci, a in an Italian. As in, someone not from America. But then again, roughly 96% of us aren’t “from here”. Anti immigration perhaps, but not anti conquest somehow.

“Whitsleblower” helps make the non-fascists feel like they struck a blow and trickle feeds hope to keep them docile. It reinforces the illusion that there are consequences and that truth matters.

Simultaneously, “whistleblower” makes it seem nefarious. An affront to decorum. Disrespectful toward the rules. And gives the fascists an excuse to “hit back”.

By employing a “whistleblower” you generate news articles that can engage both sides.

I’m a “general” in my field. It is far more often that it is a thankless burden than it is a benefit.

People at the top of their field, in my experience, have insulated themselves from volatility, that’s it. And this security cannot be conferred. I am powerless to dictate the market. I have just a sliver of influence over the culture. I can work pretty much anywhere, but nowhere is objectively better than anywhere else. I’m just as free as I am trapped.

In short, the generals are perhaps difficult to remove from the boat, but the oligarchy always sets the course.

My guess is that on this répondez s’il vous plaît that the M might be for monsieur/madame/mademoiselle.

While simultaneously he shits on that one boat with an unreasonable duration at sea, he steals the glory of an actual solier, and still finds a way to stroke his own ego while he’s at it. Not to mention the cost at tax payers expense of whatever bureaucratic ripples this sends out.

He’s going to die. They’re going to uncover truly horrific things of unprecedented scope, and then to save face they’re going to paint him as some sort of mastermind. I’m going to have to grow old and die myself as they contort Turnip’s career as some sort of Machiavellian genius, when in fact he has all the nuances of a screeching adolescentwith a negative kill ratio on counter strike. They will build the myth to preserve the institution, but I’ll never forget how brazen and clumsy he was or how complicit are the people warming themselves on the flaming wreckage he leaves in his wake.

What’s terrible is I need to suffer with his tv career, then his political career, and then once he dies and some people under his thumb start dishing up all the dirt, I’m still going to have to hear about his shit. Even after he dies it won’t be over. It’s like he’s vandalized reality itself.

Mmmaybe. But what’s, like, Missouri then?

What does this have to do with Simon’s Quest?

Legitimately intrigued, haha.

Boy, have I got potentially good news for you: Piaffe (2022)
