there aren’t a lot of nice places hiring foreign workers en mass, and meta, google, palantir, tormentnexus, etc, offer a chance at a better life for them and their families.

the major reason to make life a hell for as many people as possible is to have this kind of leverage on them.

hey, that’s not fair, it’s also spineless when the democrats are in power!

the goal is to keep people on a knife’s edge of destruction, so that when some rich turd rolls up and offers you a tiny amount of security to do something reprehensible you’ll do it.

and if you live with deep, personal shame for it for the rest of your life, that’s just an extra little treat for them.

the world is becoming fascist, even where you live. we are all “accepting” it

exactly. he spent 30 minutes calling the irish ignorant, but the words “gulf stream” never tickled his neurons.

the extra-irony is that up until the last 10-15 years, “gulf stream” is what everyone in the usa called it, too. hank’s just so tech-pilled he can’t see anything else.

“splattered” “lightening”

you can really tell they do their due diligence over there

ah yes, hank green who spent an entire video chastising the citizens of ireland for being ignorant of the amoc.

dude never even bothered to think people called it something else there.

hes always been a self-satisfied, arrogant knob

deleted is a column in a database

step 1: run country like business

step 2: put guy who ruins every business he touches in charge

step 3:

you gotta give the ai bros credit, they’ve managed to turn “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” into a multi-disciplinary corporate stratgy.
