  • now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic

    excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you’re talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

    Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers…), where are the Ds deciding they don’t like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people’s pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

    ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.



  • Seriously… Who gives a fuck if a good thing is being done because it makes someone money vs making someone happy? At the end of the day, the good thing happened. That’s a win. We live in a capitalist society, this should be a very common concept good or not.

    Like seriously, who gives a shit if rainbow capitalism was for making money? It absolutely helped at least some (if not many) people feel seen and accepted.

    “I would take this vaccine but someone created it because it would make them money so I’m critical”

    In what world does that make sense??? As long as you understand WHY they do what they do (thus keeping yourself from being convinced they actually do care lmao), then its all good and take advantage of the good thing as it happens.

    So…your theory that this proves Israeli expansionism is based on the fact that Hezbollah is not Hamas… While conveniently ignoring the generations of bad blood and historically relevant context. Could you be any more reductive?

    It’s a pretty big and important distinction, because this attack by Israel was only tangentially related to their genocide in Palestine

    Hezbollah chose to enter this Israel/palestine war, this isn’t simply Israel taking advantage of the awful conflict to try and gain more land, it’s a blatant reaction. Sure if it results in more land, great, but this sort of thing is to be expected when you send missile after missile at a country. But no, Isreal would totally only respond to lethal threats if they can meet their expansionist goals right? That’s the only explanation of motivation right?

    https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-hezbollah

    Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim political party and militant group based in Lebanon, where its extensive security apparatus, political organization, and social services network have fostered its reputation as “a state within a state.” Founded in the chaos of the fifteen-year Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-backed group is driven by its opposition to Israel and its resistance to Western influence in the Middle East.

    Due to its history of carrying out terrorist attacks internationally, Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and many other countries, though some just apply this label to its armed wing. Hezbollah’s deep-rooted alliances with Iran and Syria have transformed it into an increasingly effective military force, creating a formidable opponent for its longtime enemy Israel. Escalating border clashes between the two adversaries now threaten to open a new battlefront in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which would come at great cost to economically devastated Lebanon.

    Yes Israel’s disgusting expansionism is a problem, no it doesn’t create a clean convenient context that aligns with moral values and right to life like the one your comment is attempting to present. Obligatory fuck the IDF, and fuck Hamas, and sure why not Hez as well. There are no angels.

    This is just AI fear mongering. There is no meme here.

    the underlying purpose to AI

    Say no more, nothing valuable can follow this set up.

    Like seriously, are we to believe that AIs purpose of existence is just one singular thing?? You could say the almost or not the same bullshit about computers or even machines in general or anything else that shifts the dynamic of where labor is needed.

    “AI only exists so wealth can steal from you!!!” It’s like those lies people would throw around to create fear like fascists do with minority groups.

    Like bro, the wealthy are already stealing from us this doesn’t move the needle a cm. At the same time AI can be a huge help to disabled and elderly, how does that fit into the ultimate purpose of the wealthy removing skilled workers access to wealth.

    This shit is a fever dream of weird propaganda



  • Waking up everyday wondering what batshit crazy thing he had either just said or was going to say that day. It was exhausting.

    For you? Yeah it was exhausting, you poor piece of shit. For the media? It was the best goddamn four years of their lives. Every morning the people would rush to see what insane shit he did that day and the news media farmed the FUCK outta them clicks.

    Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

    “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

    Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.

    “Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

    “Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

    They desperately want to drag us back
