You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • Private jet prices soar as wealthy scramble to leave Dubai

    Jump

  • I've had connections to people who did that kind of work also, they tell a lot of stories about people who have their passports or other vital documentation or cash savings confiscated on arriving and then they're not allowed to leave and forced to work long, dangerous hours or not get paid or fed. These are often people from poor families or with little means to get out on their own.

  • Behold.

  • They actually have a lot of airplanes.

  • I'm also pretty sure they (Dubai or Qatar) have more than ONE airplane.

  • They have basically an entire caste system of lower-class migrant workers or indentured servants of a sorts populating large swaths of the region, all the people who actually run the cities and manage the services and clean the streets and bathrooms and unload the grocery trucks, and they're the only ones who can't afford private flights out of the cities, so guess who's going to die when the missiles rain down.

    It sure as shit ain't going to be Saudi princes.

  • Jim Carrey's new face

    Jump

  • I've completely tuned out of Hollywood since Covid honestly. I was already bored with new movies and hollywood anything, then the world just started this long backwards spiral and it's made entertainment seem pretty stupid and pointless.

    I think part of my head-canon was that we all decided to stop watching movies because we all agreed it's kind of shitty to produce 200+ million dollar productions while mass extinction looms on the horizon and we keep electing nazis to make fascist decisions for the majority of us.

    It might be different if there was actually anything remotely worth watching in media. Maybe I'm just old but there are zero original or novel movies or stories being made right now. It feels like browsing reddit honestly. Same shit, worded differently, just as superficial and fake as everything else.

  • Amazon Data Centers on Fire After Iranian Missile Strikes on Dubai [ME-CENTRAL-1]

    Jump

  • They have a lot more guys, no company keeps all of its data centralized anymore, the really important shit is distributed across a spectrum of secure, hidden or reinforced bunkers around the world. There is big money in converting old war-time nuclear shelters and silos into secure data centers for companies to store part of their data on.

  • More Americans disapprove than approve of U.S. strikes against Iran

    Jump

  • Okay so you're just a paid provocateur or astroturfer then trying to sow arguing and division. I won't see another childish, 2-dimensional, cartoon-like message from you.

  • Behold.

    Jump

  • Okay I invite you to block me because again, a lot of people are going to be making dark jokes right now because it's how we cope. I didn't want any of this and I can't stop it.

  • More Americans disapprove than approve of U.S. strikes against Iran

    Jump

  • I am organizing community efforts and volunteering for working with progressive action groups in the states who have successfully gotten very popular progressive elected recently. (something that would not happen if there were compromised elections broadly, they just want us to think there are no more elections, they don't have the power to cover all the states they would need to take over.)

    It's literally the most effective thing we can do, because again... "Going to Washington and tearing people limb from limb" is pretty hard when you don't have the military, and even if it worked we would all have to live next to the majority of the country who didn't want that because they want a functioning country and economy. The USA is HUGE, it's not one big country with a small population who can take over when things go wrong, we are 50 individual countries connected, the federal government these states are constitutionally bound to are the people making the worst decisions, but it's too large to just "march and hurt people" it needs procedure and electoral politics, even if the whole thing collapses and we have to start over from grassroots, state and county level rebuilding of democracy.

  • More Americans disapprove than approve of U.S. strikes against Iran

    Jump

  • Okay come on over and lead the charge, whatever it is. We have no leadership for opposition, we have no military, we have crushing debt and have to work 7 days a week broadly. We desperately need more than protests and weekend marches, but we're about a century away from an actual armed coup or revolution because the vast, vast majority of the country is still comfortable enough that nobody wants to upset things even more and risk their razor-edge margin for life.

    Again, this is not a USA problem, you would do better looking around your own country and figuring out where these weaknesses are being exploited and how they are going to attack your own social structure and atomize perspectives so that nobody wants to actually do anything about it. You're equally vulnerable.

  • More Americans disapprove than approve of U.S. strikes against Iran

    Jump

  • And none of these “Americans” are going to stand up to their oppressors.

    The vast majority of citizens of all countries in this entire planet are just doing the best they can to get by and nobody has ever organized a coup against a ruling party for starting foreign wars. Whatever you are imagining is possible here is being imagined through a very, very narrow lens of what it's like to actually be an American living in America.

    I know you're mad, but wherever you're from, however superior you feel... the issues affecting American society are going to impact yours the same way if it's not already. We are all the same species being exploited by the same forces. This is not an "America" problem. This is a "money" problem and if your elections aren't completely bought and sold and your middle-class placated yet, they will be. (And they will be counting on you stoking as much hate and division as possible between your people and outsiders. Comments with your exact phrasing have been said here for decades about other countries to foster the nationalism that empowered all of this.)

    Our elections are happening, but the results won't be satisfying or fast enough to save lives.

  • They all LOVE the war, they are doing backstrokes in it like Scrooge McDuck in his money bin.

    The primary complaint is just "You didn't tell us ahead of time so we didn't have any time to pick out something to wear! Gawrsh!"

  • Behold.

  • That is indeed the dark humor, if you can't handle it, it's a rough time to be reading the internet at all, most of us can't do much other than laugh through the tears. If you want to just pick a fight, you won't find it here and I suggest you use that energy for something more productive.

  • At least 22 people killed in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate

    Jump

  • This is a repulsive comment thread all around.

    Jump

  • The reason the comment you reply to is ironic/funny and yours isn't is because Hillary clinton herself hasn't been mentioned a literal million times in the actual epstein files.

    And also, she isn't president and isn't actually starting wars to cover for whatever her involvement is or is not. She isn't really an actual factor in anything.

  • Democrats Don't Need an Autopsy to Know How Damaging Their Unwavering Support for Israel Has Been

    Jump

  • They know, they don't care.

    The current DNC is operating on two principles:

    1. It's still 1995, and Israel is America's lil' darling colonizer startup that most moderate Americans are happy with. Yay for white middle-east, go 'get 'em you wacky apocalypse-prophecy fulfillers. Go go magic old-money.
    2. They have the same donors as the GOP and serve the same masters.

  • Behold.

  • I demand to know what country is still trapped in the dark ages. They need to be freedom'd

  • The use of commas instead of periods to denote fractions is making me want to harm someone. What in the fuck are they teaching you in school nowadays.
