/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • tbh no online space is an accurate picture of public opinion

    The most prolific posters are the ones who have the time to post, and it's easier than ever to set up bots to pretend to be users.

  • If this is not a sign of strength what else is?

    Not even needing to attack.

  • Creating failed states and civil wars is the point. They'd rather Iran be a war-torn wasteland than be a thorn in their side.

  • Nationalize all insurance.

  • What is to be done about parents who do not give a shit about what their children are exposed to on the internet?

    They're not technologically illiterate. They're neglectful shitheads.

    Do we mandate adult controls on machines and punish the parents that don't use them? Because that's actually not all that different from age verification laws.

  • Attacking a different country every month isn't really a sign of strength.

    Militarily the US is very powerful, but its actual influence is on the decline.

  • It'd be really interesting if Iran doesn't even have to close the strait because the insurers essentially already did.

  • The last emperor of China was captured by the Soviets and then sent back to China for imprisonment and reeducation, and that worked pretty well. The most important thing is to make sure none of them escape the country.

  • There are so many videos and audio recordings I want to force down liberal's throats, like that Clockwork Orange machine.

  • ..?

    Jump
  • How's Libya doing these days? Is it good?

  • Could I interest you in a fine fried orb?

  • Actually, no, we don't face the same problems. You and I don't have have to live in fear that we'll be murdered by a drone, or won't be able to get food tomorrow, or could get an infection and there won't be antibiotics available at the hospital.

  • Clearly an intervention for someone in a toxic relationship.

  • Meanwhile, the most recent defense authorization act just earmarked another $800 billion for Ukraine, guarantees a minimum of 76,000 US forces for NATO, and secured the U.S. European Commander as the continued NATO Supreme Commander.

    Trump is fooling people into thinking he's some kind of dove on Russia, but the actual legislation that he signs into law and the actual war footing that's being implemented are clearly aligned against Russia. You're sleepwalking right into his trap, he's tricked people into thinking he wants to make peace with Russia when the reality is that he's preparing for even more war.

    Stop listening to Trump's words and start paying attention to what he actually does.

  • The hole is in the middle of a parking lot because the chatbot hallucinated the job order.

  • It's always been "free markets for thee, government subsidies for me" with them, and the MIC expanded enormously under neoliberalism so I don't really see how that's different either. I suppose neoliberals have more of a veneer of being against government spending, but the actual budget always got bigger.

  • Under fuckface, we are worried about them being used against russia.

    Trump is consistently attacking all of Russia's allies: Assad is gone, Maduro is gone, now Khameni is gone. He's also forced the rest of NATO to increase their contributions while doing nothing to reduce US funding, making it stronger than ever.

    And I'm supposed to believe this is part of Russia's master plan? It beggars belief.

    What it actually looks like is Trump is preparing for a more direct confrontation with Russia, as the feather in his cap for his legacy. He wants to be remembered as the "greatest president ever" and secure himself alongside other American empire builders, and in his mind that means crushing all of the US's enemies and finally wiping Russia off the map.

    And if he lives long enough, China is next after Russia.

  • The only difference between neoliberalism and fascism seems to be whether or not they bother with the smokescreen of rules and norms. Neoliberals will create elaborate legal and social structures to kill people on the streets and round them up into prisons, fascists will just do it and disregard those legal and social structures because they're woke.

  • Yeah, more accurately they are the active enemies of world peace.

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
