Shit is infuriating.

This is also all happening while China is pushing BRICS. Then you have moron American leadership that thinks USAID was the US being nice and costing us money when it was entirely a US soft-power projection strategy that is now a vacuum for China to fill. When idiots that don’t understand things vote in idiots that know nothing, the USA loses hegemony and that never comes back. Also, side note, while abysmal for the future of the US, freaking amazing for the world in the long run!

I remember an old interview with a defector Soviet spy. He said infiltrating governments is hard and risky…infiltrate mayor’s offices and school boards and push adgeclndas that create useless citizens. Play the generationally long game and the unstoppable US empire will kill itself. Well played sir. You won.

Got my first ban for saying someone was doing something to keep criminals out of the store (in a white community, btw) and they said it was racists against black people and banned me, then autobans from other communities that mod was a mod of hit me. I repealed it asking for any sign of racism, or indeed racism in any of my long post history…they muted me, and blocked me. Reddit is trash. And yes, you can ban evade there, I do it to troll those communities and just be a trash person to give the mod more work. Look up the reddit anti-banevasion tech they use. If you want to make a hobby of bot-spamming their crap with clanker slop posts… hypothetically.

I’m guessing reddit didn’t ‘comply’ because they were already actively giving the info before anyone asked.

This stupidity makes me need a calming banana.

I am fully confident they will make the worst, and most unconstitutional, choice.

The quintessential hate symbols are not hate symbols? Weird… In other news, a yellow circle with two dots and and an arching line with upturned ends is no longer a smiley face.

So someone paid him to change his opinion? Not exactly news. Dude is a walking “for sale” sign.

The mass die-off of boomers will be a great thing. They ain’t all bad, but they are the worst generation. Absolute poison.

In the US, The police don’t protect people. They don’t actually have any obligations to do so. I am kinda wondering how the “police protecting” works out when say several big dudes kick your door in and bad-stuff you and your house. The gun owner defense themselves in that scenario, but the police-reliant folks…do what? Wait for the murder investigation to catch the baddies? It’s an odd predicament, given how awful guns can be and how pad they are for a society. As proven by stats from pro and anti-gun countries. Personally, I will continue to carry a pistol…even if it has only been used against a rabid racoon that was getting too close to the house. I don’t think civilians need dozens of insane weapons though. So I don’t know where that puts me on the spectrum. Gun user, and enjoyer, that recognizes they are a huge problem.

Yeah, that is my concern.nifnyounget jumped by guys shouting ICE with no proof, you have a second amendment right to defend yourself.

Trump is the disposable face of something much darker. He is a tool.

Hahaha he hates fascists, fights for one and gets ganked. LOL. GJ nerd, didn’t you know, dieing is what the Orks do?

A bit redundant, I know, but it made a point.

Just being honest. It isn’t always a nice place, it is a fairly open and honest place. Not shitting on it, just not shining it. It is miles above reddit and the like.

No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don’t, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.

Economic, trade, soft power, cyber…sure, hell they stand a chance in those. Combat? Not even close, they would be leveled. The tricky part is using the advantage they have in the first few without receiving the kneejerk usage of the last one against them.

In actuality, the CCP influencing anything outside China (and arguably inside China) is a worst case outcome. The US doing so is very quickly moving up the ranks to the second worst. The world is going to need the EU, and allies, to step up and keep both in check.

The tooth is out there…
