Anything but real democracy.

Millennium Challenge 2002.

That’s when we learned that low tech can beat high tech in this manner.

Did they learn the lesson at DOD? Of course not. They demoted the guy who won and made him play out a cosplay battle where America Wins!

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

Lil Donny 2 scoops.

There’s C.H.U.D.s down there… https://youtu.be/BJckCjZ8Tdw

The problem is that corpses are big business. As horrible as that is.

You’re as likely to end up being a crash test dummy for some MIC bomb R&D as you are to be used by a medical student when you “give your body to science”

It wouldn’t be the first time the CIA has dealt with an american president.

Classic.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

Pump and dump.

The deal should go as follows.

Iran should have nukes to protect itself. Chump fucks off and dies.

I got such a message but didn’t reply. Seemed like a bot to me.

No. As the populace wouldn’t support it otherwise.

It’s not a good system known for its merits or efficiency or anything else. It’s weaponizing hate and fear and ignorance by bad actors in the pursuit of power. Base avarice. Self serving. Power seeking. Nothing more complicated than that.

Zoning laws in a lot of places.

Gonna be the most epic rugpull of all time.

Race was invented by Europeans to divide the working class against itself.

That worked so well that every capitalist country has gone out of their way to reinforce it ever since.

I like to think i was a pretty sharp kid. I had it figured out at the ripe old age of 11 that if you could freely swap blood and organs between different races of people then there wasn’t enough difference between them to bother mentioning.

Trump only ran to stay out of prison. Now he’s ripping the copper out of the walls to get as much money as he can before it all collapses under his ineptitude.

Elon thinks he’s gonna be a trillionaire at the top of a technofeudal oligarchy. (He wants to be Arasaka from Cyberpunk but he’s gonna have a hard time doing that while all his businesses fail.)

I think he’s accelerating the decline of the US empire. And I think a new multipolar world with China taking on a leading role will emerge shortly. Within a few years at latest.

And I think that will be a massive benefit for the world at large. An advanced modern nation with a progressive forward leaning intent. It can only improve on the currently disintegrating unipolar US led world order.

It’s gonna suck here for us in the imperial core. Just ask the older brits who lived thru the deconstruction of the British empire. But our decline will take place in months-years. Not years-decades. This was always going to happen. Never doubt it. But it would have taken decades and been a carefully managed decline as opposed to the swan dive off the cliffs edge we’re seeing.

They might. But I wouldn’t want that.
