German conspiracy wackos and American ones have a lot in common.

During COVID their bullshit ven diagram was a flat circle.

That’s better but not that by much. A few years ago Germany raided some very rich and very well-armed wackos who wanted to bring back the Kaiserreich.

Switzerland doesn’t have the same sheet weight Brazil has.

And it probably doesn’t wants to ruffle big US tech companies with so many having their big European HQs in Zurich.

I’ve updated my comment to clarify they, it’s the vehicle with the cannons they’ve kepted. Not much need for the radar against the Taliban air force.

Most autocannons are. Soviets took the guidance radars off their Shilkas (older equivalent to Guepard but with quad cannons) and called the radarless AAA vehicles “Afghanis”.

The Machine God speaks to us.

I think it’s not happy with Boeing’s tech-priests.

The “Help! I’ve fallen and can’t get up!” commercial pops to mind.

A stainless steel monstrosity, perfect camouflage.

The link between conspiracies and ads is way stronger than that. The ad industry really went into high gear following WWII when the people working on pumping out propaganda to drive their own side of the war stepped up the game by applying psychology, new media, and a bigger budget.

Those people and techniques then moved to the commercial market when the war ended and applied their trade to peddle us the crap their customers wanted to sell. Make us feel bad if we don’t buy product X and go on an endless consumption treadmill to try to feel good and adequate about ourselves.

It is despicable and even worse with ads targeting children.

“Very good” is an understatement for The Bear.

And recent seasons just keep stacking up the talent.

But are they doing it after shooting their ears with an AR-15* and my soon-to-be-sold commemorative 5.56mm Trump bullets (with tiny Trump fistbump engraving on the casing)? /s

Post-WWII put propaganda/advertising to the next level. Social media turned that to 11.

The Lord giveth and taketh away Red Lobster.

Exactly. And I bet there’s plenty of money in mansions, cars, jewelry and bank assets.

Yep, if they need to disappear a CEO, no matter how big, they can and have done so in the past.

Where did you read that? They bailed to Monaco when the sentence was given over a family member in intensive care. But they have strong financial ties in Switzerland on top of the Swiss nationality.

Oh and they have to pay nearly a million to the victims.

Immortan Joe styles water delivery. They might as well add the “don’t get addicted to it” line as well.

There are some much nicer more modern ones for those not into the post-Soviet-Republic esthetic. The super-long articulated trolley buses are fun.

Some trains. In most of Europe, trains are electric and get their power from overhead lines (same for trams and even some buses).

On the other hand, many large ships are diesel-electric. And those gigantic mining haulers as well.

The Korean spices must flow!
