I saw the thumbnail and lost any interest whatsoever in seeing the vid, tbh. Even before reading the “punishments” you listed I could tell I’d regret even a second watching that cancer, even if it hadn’t featured all the horrible abuses.

calling the cops to have her arrested

Also, oof. Been there (though if the cops are halfways sensible they won’t do a damn thing to an elementary kid unless there was something actually serious involved), and not for any remotely valid reasons at that.

The cops were actually decent about it, to my recollection (probably because the situation was messed up). But it was still a very negative experience. As a kid it was terrifying.

Common Russian W as of late. Hopefully the severing of ties to the west can only increase, and- even if Putin may not be a communist- Russia can continue its path of learning, emulating, and cooperating with China’s successes. While the liberalism and social “conservatism” will inevitably come to a head (and has to be dealt with), across Russian society otherwise, and structurally (laying the law down on the oligarchs, bringing back 5-year plans, increasing ties with AES and “socialist-lite” policies), I feel they’re on the right path to revitalizing the country and at least parts of the Soviet legacy in a manner that will be conducive to transitioning the country back to true socialism (proletarian rule ie. communism) when the time comes.

It really shows that finally, America is getting the leaders they deserve. Not the ones they need, but the most honest representations of all the sins of the empire come home to roost.

Obama and Romney can speak eloquently, give a veneer of respectability, and pretend they gave a damn about the common peasantry or “human rights,” but beneath it all they’re just as terrible as Trump or Biden, and they played a role (and continue to do so) in creating and sustaining all the same problems haunting the US now.

Obama strikes me as particularly insidious, because he- as the first black POTUS (figurehead) for the blob, oversaw the destruction of Africa’s most developed country, and its turning into a hell-on-earth with open air slave markets. He oversaw the destruction of black home ownership, and (despite his sensible misgivings) set the stage for the current events in Ukraine, as well as the “pivot to Asia,” and for whatever sympathies he appears to genuinely have had and still have for the Palestinians, ultimately he did and still does nothing about it.

He was just a figurehead, sure- and if he’d attempted to do anything meaningful, he probably would have gotten JFKed. But he allowed himself to be the figurehead for such atrocious policies, and he played no small part in cleaning up and sustaining the facade of “liberal democracy.”

I prefer the clearly abhorrent character of Trump, and to a lesser (but still significant) extent Biden, in comparison. It would of course be best if the US could turn itself around, but as that won’t happen- better a blatant monster, than a competent and affable person who can present a pretty picture of the monstrous empire and fool many, if you ask me. Biden, and even Obama before him, were no better than Trump- in fact in many ways they were worse, certainly in their foreign policy they were. And I suspect Biden (or whatever Democrat runs) will do a whole lot more damage- not simply to the empire, but to innocent citizens and to the entire world- than Trump would in a second term, considering that business didn’t only continue as usual when Biden took office, but accelerated towards WW3, and unlike how it was with Trump’s terrible image, Biden (or his puppetmasters, anyways- the man probably doesn’t have much sense left) has the whole west happily goosestepping in line with his atrocities. They would have done so anyways, sure- but at least they would have hemmed and hawed about it and maybe even had second thoughts if the optics were worse, if the Orange Man™ were in power.

Why would Amish people be in Israel? They’re not Jewish whatsoever (even if their lifestyles and attire have large similarities with some orthodox Jewish communities)

I agree, they need to log out of this earth altogether. Hopefully he’s got an interest fighting for Ukraine?

literary what her post American civil war 2.0 map looks like :

Probably the only positive thing she’s ever come up with tbh. Fingers crossed…

Netanyahu’s really speedrunning towards complete destruction of the Zionist project…

Sounds like a healthy, rational hobby, practiced by sensible people. I hope she keeps it up, and promotes such healthy kinks to the rest of her community.

No problem, there’s nothing to apologize for.

The rape allegations are already known to be not only false, but completely fabricated by the Swedish government, not even the ostensible “victims” (who didn’t consider it rape, didn’t attempt to charge Assange with rape, and had simply gone to police to try to get him to do another STD check)

It really shows how farcical it all was- and how much “Swedish neutrality” and all that was a sham, even long before it likely aided in bombing Nordstream, or it joined NATO. It’s literally the “I consent,” “I consent,” “I don’t” meme.

The day after the Crimea beach attack, too. They’re really trying to destroy what little credibility they have…

Adam Ellis isn’t a Nazi, at most as far as I know he’s probably a lib, but even then not a ghoul about it (for instance he unequivocally supports Palestine)

Agreed, also not all representation is good representation- looking at you Mindy Kaling/“Velma” 🤮 … a textbook example of the white male-worshipping Asian woman who hates Asian men. (as an Asian woman myself it’s seriously fucked)

Reason #1 is correct too IMO (fuck Konami).

As for DEI, it should always be a good thing… but then, NGL, having “consulting companies” for it rather than having it organically probably means it won’t have that good an implementation of DEI to begin with IMO. Not that I care about the Sweet Baby Inc. nonsense, but it leaves a artificial taste in my mouth akin to pinkwashing, “girlboss” culture, and most of the NGO industry.

Well put, for these reasons honestly I can’t ever see the diminishing of the white, western demographics as a bad thing. They’re not “racially inferior” or whatnot- hell, my partner is white- but statistically speaking, culturally speaking, within the world system and particularly the settler-regimes and imperial cores they have created, they are more likely to be reactionary and opposed to equality than other groups as I see it.

Until white supremacy and imperialism are completely eradicated as global systems and social diseases, I think that’ll be just how it is. Of course, white individuals like anyone else should be judged by their own personal merits- but as a “race” (the system they created), as a separate group (for all that whiteness is incredibly arbitrary) it’ll take a long time and a lot of changes to return them, and the nations/regions that make up the imperial core as well, to come back down to earth with the rest of the world IMO (not to say “humanity was united before the cracker nations attacked,” but the scars they have left are certainly the most egregious, widespread, and deep of them all IMO).

The Soviets and the Warsaw Pact strike me as the only group amongst the west to truly try to mend that divide (and the crimes and resulting social corruption of the Russian/eastern European nations was always far, far, far lesser than that of the west Europeans). And even then, so much was undone with their collapse- as I see it even, I’d argue that- while not the primary reason, their whiteness- and thus the ambitions of certain elements of society, to “rejoin the white, western, imperialist bloc,” etc- played a role undermining the union to begin with.

Jomo Kenyatta is rolling in his grave…

In this case, it seems like Russia is- while facing some short-term hassles, generally doing better economically than ever (or than since the fall of the Soviet Union, anyways).

The west has finally bitten off more than they could chew. Same with all the sanctions against China, and now it all is reaching a point where their sanctions machine falls apart altogether (hopefully soon, and hopefully the western regimes along with it). And eventually there’s going to be some truly magnificent backlash- the product of their own actions, not out of any malice by the rest of the world (though the west certainly deserves every bit of malice).

The west has destroyed all credibility in their financial machines, in their world economic order- and now they’re just running on fumes, economically, anyways. And they’ve done it all while hollowing their own real economies to increase their bottom line, turning their own imperial cores into deindustrialized hellholes- they’ve nothing to even fall back on, hell, their own citizens by-and-large hate them. An ocean of debt- and public discontent- and the entire world, or those with sanity anyways, moving themselves and their assets as far away from the rogue, deranged, and spiraling west as it faces its karma- 500 years of likely the worst karma (not to put any pseudoscientific/superstitious value to it) from unparalleled brutality, savagery, and barbarism (that of the imperialist west, not their victims they projected upon) is coming up. And even as someone living in an imperial core myself, as someone who feels the pain now and- even if I get out, will have friends and family feel the pain- all the same, the schaudenfreude, the righteousness of it all is going to be delicious. It already is. Hopefully we all survive to see it unfold, and to help the new, better world emerge.

Usually it’s called “tokenism.” And big media/politics is the primary offender, but it’s widespread among corporations and NGOs as well.

If nothing else, I wish Hitler could come back to see what his modern adherents are like. All the skinheads, prison gangs, internet degenerates (not due to their interests… mostly- rather due to their beliefs), all the various pinkwashed, faux-DEI-loving Eurocrats and liberals across the west… And of course, the Zionists, Slava Ukraini crowd, Baltic chihuahuas, and arguably the Hindutvas (though for how terrible the last are, India isn’t anywhere near so far gone as the rest listed imo).

I think he’d shoot himself again.

I agree, no sympathy for the NATO invaders who overthrew Ukraine’s legitimate government. No sympathy for the invaders of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Haiti. No sympathy for the invaders and occupiers of Palestine.

You keep fucking around, and sooner or later (likely sooner at this rate) you’ll find out. Newsflash: the majority of the world hates you, and rightfully so.
