It was still overall good that the French had a revolution. The status quo at the time was unacceptable, the status quo now is unacceptable, and no one in power is willing to change it. It’s gonna be fucking messy but this system needs to die if the species is to survive

Correct, Israel wants this war and not just because of Bibi needing to stay out of jail, they want Greater Israel which from a colonial history perspective is just the United States 2.0 An oligarchical capitalist ethnostate built on stolen land

Not all hero’s wear capes

Do you happen to remember where you got it? I’ve got a Mac and while the idea of going through all the media files on my servers to convert them I twitch a little bit, but would also love to cut down space without giving up some of my files

I just shivered in disgust, well done

I bet come Sunday there’s another “deal in place” to end the fighting and open the straight and the markets will pop right back Monday morning until something happens that makes it clear there was no deal and even more oil and energy infrastructure was destroyed.

The market is illogical. It’s always been about vibes but now it seems more like it moves based on the hopes and wishes of people in denial about what is occurring on a macro level

Podcasts also have a very intimate quality that creates connection and credibility in its listeners, that’s why the medium creates cult like followings. Shit it’s basically the same gimmick as FDRs fire side chats

I’m sexually attracted exclusively to feminine presenting people and repulsed by masculine presenting people. I don’t really care about what’s between legs but I am much more experience with vaginas. But I’m a hoe and don’t really know what to call my sexuality

So he tacoed out again

I generally agree with everything you’ve both just said but I’m of the opinion that ruling out MAD is unwise. Not based on likelihood but based on the severity of its fallout. Which is obviously the end of human life on planet earth

Welp we’re boned. The slimmest fraction margin of a quantum thread of hopes that a crack would form over explicitly threatening genocide are dashed, were either ending one ancient civilization with nukes or causing a global economic collapse with boots on the ground either of which will likely collapse most of the other civilizations all while climate change and biodiversity collapse loom in the background to pick off any stragglers!

It’s all very cool and good!

This is the first time anyone has called me optimistic about anything in a long time.

This isn’t a matter of going to work tomorrow, this is a matter of the current American standard of living collapsing. Even if people keep going to work millions will starve to death and die from disease because the vast majority of our world is built on plastic from food containers to medical equipment. Not to mention the end of mass shipping and air travel as we know it by years end. Once enough people go hungry shit will get violent.

He’s also much much stupider, I don’t like Putin one bit but he’s not a complete buffoon

Yep this right here, if he nukes Iran we’re all dead, even if the other nuclear states somehow don’t retaliate, which they wouldn’t but for the sake of argument, that would still completely destroy society. That would make an absurd amount of oil and natural gas unusable cutting the global supply by a margin that would be unsustainable.

If a single member of his personal agents doesnt worship him like a god I’d be shocked

Mara is cool as fuck

I’m not advocating for Iran solving US made problems but the Iranian army would make almost immediate work of the folks that make up ICE. They are an organized, trained, professional military, ICE is mostly made up of insecure assholes that trained themselves, at best a bunch of cops or former cops. They would get smoked.

Again I dont want this to happen nor do I think Iran should clean up my home country’s mess, but I do think it would be really really funny to watch those fucks realize what actual war is all about

Squirrelly Dan?

No one on this planet can convince me that she’s not been a 2 pack a day smoker since she was 10. It’s the only thing that makes sense

Honestly outside of being tricking into killing your wife and child it could be a worse deal
