  • Senate votes to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as top U.S. intelligence official

    Jump

  • Hate to say it, but I don't think that the downfall of the American hegemony would go well for queer folks, even a fucked up as it is. To a certain extent, global power IS a zero sum game. Especially in the context of Tulsi Gabbard, who seems to be aligned with Russian interests. If American influence wanes, that vacuum will get filled by soft power coming from Russia, China, or some combination thereof. Neither of them are huge fans of the queers.

  • If the US leaves that alliance and then starts surreptitiously sending drone parts to Russia, it'll get dicey.

    If the AfD forms a coalition government with the normal conservatives and Germany decides to turn inwards and keep Deutsche money für die Deutscher, it'll get dicey.

    If Macron finally completes his heel turn and appoints Marine le Pen to interior secretary...

    If Italy keeps going the way they've been going...

    If the Finnish right decides that joining NATO was a mistake that let too many minorities in...

    If the rest of Africa goes along with the Sahel nations and starts funneling their resources into the Russian war machine...

    If Modhi lets Russia open more factories in India...

    If China decides that they're cool with sharing power on the global scale and fully buys in on the BRICS bloc...

    Russia looks weak right now because the invasion has been such and embarrassment, but that can change surprisingly quickly. The global shift towards authoritarianism is coming hand-in-hand with a shift away from US/Eurocentric hegemony.

  • I make sure to trim my hair and beard before I go through airport security. If I'm at all my normal disheveled self they hassle me.

  • Who benefits from the "X Min Read" estimates popping up everywhere?

    Jump

  • Yup. The other day I was on the toilet and saw a really interesting article. It said "45 minute read" so I saved it instead of starting.

  • What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?

    Jump

  • There are steps in between. I think the next one will be company towns. Massive company buys a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere. Builds a whole business complex there. Offices, manufacturing plant, shipping/ receiving infrastructure, etc. Then they build track housing around it, build a company-run grocery store, a private school completely funded by the business, etc. Invite in a bunch of familiar national chain restaurants, but make sure they're all franchised, so they're owned and operated by the company.

    Then they recruit. They offer half decent wages. Nothing great, but they sell it to people by offering to pay for moving costs and massive discounts on company-owned houses.

    These houses are brand new and waycheaper than a condo in the city! [pre-fab, low-cost bullshit that looks good but disintegrates in a couple years]

    Come meet the neighbors! They also work for us, so you've got a lot in common! Built-in new friend group! [your boss also loves a block away and pays attention to your social life]

    Your kids can go to school for free! [where we teach them to be good wage slaves for the next generation]

    Soon, there will be an entire town 100% owned and run by the company. Wages will stagnate, prices will skyrocket. Workers will get in debt, all owed to the company. People will start to realize, but what the fuck are they gonna do? Company owns their mortgage, which is now under water. They've lost contact with all their old friends, because they live three hours outside the city and have had to work every Saturday for months.

    Viola. Entire areas of wage slaves.

  • Colloquially it's used as "like the Alps" as much as "of the Alps."
