kissinger’s death recently has led me to understand a few things. your hard right republicans pretrump are realpolitik. they want america on top no matter the cost. MAGA is a grift that’s all about squeezing every penny out of the hyper-religious and or uneducated and or fascists. they don’t care where america comes out in the end. cheney(s) et al want america on top no matter the cost. MAGA wants themselves on top no matter the cost. project for the new american century is USA USA USA no matter the morals. MAGA is we’re number 1 (but just us not you)

oh boy - his followers aren’t going to mars, his kind are. and when they do…it will be because they don’t need us anymore. they’ll leave us to their steaming shit-pile of rubble the rest of us called earth

if anyone’s interested in some further reading / contextual information on this article / conflict specifically (or conflict generally):

distinction & proportionality

“a fart is a turd honking for the right of way”

so take my hand and walk this land with me

… … … awesome!

don’t they all have school to go to?

you do it with massive funding to public education for generations.

which is why massive first amendment violations are more likely

Alito […] was reduced to incoherence himself

…huh…didn’t expect that from such a distinguished jurist

of course GC/BC is a metaphor. ACAB. and they aren’t elected to help us but to represent us. they fail, but like i said, one side is rushing to put everything to an end and the other is at least making a poor showing of keeping up the pretense.

good cop bad cop.

no. i do not mean both sides are the same. one side wants the status quo to remain but isn’t taking seriously the fact that their bad cop partner is going to take them both down. maybe because they’re all as fucking old as possible.

i am not sure i’m comfortable with expressing a desire to string anyone up but i agree that when WEAREALLDOMESTICTERRORISTS isn’t a statement that grinds this whole shitshow to a halt and we examine wtf is going on in the US … then wtf are people doing?

“manhattan project - we don’t need any more from those democrat run cities”

“apollo program - sounds like the name of one of those groomer drag shows”

that’s uhhh…my point? sort of. the constitution requires no ID. and in general no federal, state, county, or municipal authority provides ID. which makes any requirements unconstitutional.

you’re right. if i don’t make enough income to need to file taxes, i shouldn’t be allowed to vote

it’s an anthology series, which, even if people understood before getting into it, could understandably be difficult to really separate oneself while viewing. think about another creator you like. Nolan, Spielberg, whatever. which of their works do you like best? does memento deserve criticism just because you liked interstellar more? or dunkirk? critique for sure, but that’s just to continue to refine the origin of your personal enjoyment of each piece of work. they are by definition of anthology different works.

s1 is masterful. s2 is still as good as the best of shows made these days. same with s3. and looking forward to s4.

and really agree with the VV comment. was this guy for real or just a try hard? for me it’s just fine when an actor’s performance matches their character regardless of if it’s genuinely good or…their ability fits the character traits. still entertainment to me.

attributed to bob dylan: chuck berry is “the shakespeare of rock and roll”

…how ‘articulate’ do you need to be?

what a nonce

you’re absolutely right. perfect should be the enemy of good.

you honestly believe the global south will be no worse if the world’s only hegemon turns fascist?

no idea why some take issue with your statement…the 9th paragraph of the article:

“The problem is that where destructive earthquakes are rare, buildings are simply not constructed robustly enough to cope with strong ground shaking, so many collapse, resulting in high casualties,” said Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London. “I would expect the final death toll to climb into the thousands once more is known. As with any big quake, aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further casualties and hinder search and rescue.”
