PR rules the world. Can’t allow free speech and protest if it might draw attention.

Better to show overwhelming military force on domestic college students at the first sign of protest. Keep it from spreading.

“If you think my Haitian stories are bad, just wait until I start making up stories about Jews. I get most of my “news” from this website called 4chan. Ever heard of it?”

That phenomenon isn’t exclusive to AI. A societal structure where a minuscule number of people amass all wealth and see themselves as gods is an inherently evil system.

Everything they do and everything they create is a means to increase their wealth and power at the expense of everyone else. At the expense of the planet itself. Regulators, courts, the government, and every other institution become captured vehicles that exist to increase their wealth and power. The people are made poorer and poorer while being distracted by bread and circuses.

The only war is class war.

Yeah, there has to be a response to this. The Russians will continue to escalate their war crimes if there are not consequences. Weapons free Ukraine.

It’s like starting a date by whipping your dick out. Slow your fucking roll, dude.

“But… but that’s a criminal conspiracy!”

“Yes, like I said it’s a corporation. What part are you not understanding?”

It’s likely going to turn out that Covid has fucked our brains in ways we don’t understand yet. The before and after difference is too extreme to be caused by a collective trauma from 4 years ago. If that was really the problem, we would be over it by now and back to normal.

“I noticed a really nice couch in your reception area. Is that for… everybody?”

Exactly. China doesn’t need to start a war to take Taiwan. Win an election one time, then aggressively change the rules to keep your party in power permanently.

This is likely what’s going to happen with Taiwan and China eventually.

I try not to be that guy, but the song is called The Imperial March, and that name makes it so much funnier historically.

The flavor of British food and the beauty of British women made British men the finest sailors in the world.

“We’re pivoting from serving peasants to fleecing rich dumbasses that subscribe and pay monthly fees for features built into the car.”

And they’ll make money doing it. Because there will never be a shortage of people with more money than sense.

”[Putin’s] new decree blows the lid off the establishment’s agenda, letting freedom-loving folks bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense like language tests or history exams," Jones posted on X. "If you’re ready to reject the insane policies of your home countries that push these destructive, anti-human, neoliberal agendas, Russia is rolling out the red carpet!”

Based and fuck off to Russia pilled

The strategy of getting the public to ignore the war by sending oppressed minorities into the meat grinder falls apart when the friends and loved ones of those you’re telling to ignore the war become POWs.

All of the sudden, the treatment of prisoners matters. All of the sudden, the war becomes real.

Daily Mail? They’re probably right about this one, but I always assume they’re lying about everything.

Netanyahu either needs to negotiate the release of the hostages and return of Palestinian children as part of a ceasefire immediately, or there needs to be a vote of no confidence in his government.

Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group

The destruction of Gaza and the continued displacement in the West Bank for this definition. Israel is destroying Palestine and the Palestinian people. That definition is from the Holocaust Museum.

Being forced from your homes; deprived of food, water, and healthcare; and tortured and terrorized is genocide by any definition.

Comparing the effectiveness of your genocide to the effectiveness of Nazi genocide does not help your cause.

Both sides have a lot of hatred and resentment toward each other. The problem is that the power balance is extremely heavily in favor of Israel, and they are able to exert their will on the Palestinians through force the Palestinians have no answer for.

But yes, killing innocent people is bad whenever it happens, and no, not all Israelis are bad, just the government, military, and settlers. One admittedly horrific massacre does not give Israel license to commit genocide on the Palestinian people, which is precisely what is happening right now.
