Yes, yes I know we're already kind of there, but I mean without the current infighting and clash between finance vampires and industrial vampires and other gridlock factors. porky-scared-flipped porky-scared

Fascism burns itself out fast with the constant need to purge and loot until nothing is left, so I know even 20 years of unmitigated fascism is a stretch. Still, what do you think a "they get absolutely everything they want, fire all US government employees and replace them at the low echelon with Billy Bob, the middle echelon with James Holden Bloodfeast III, and their favorite Youtubers at the top echelon" complete and total MAGA victory might look like? flashbang

Try to hold it together and stretch your sense of disbelief that the hogs get the feed they've been squealing for, from mere reappropriated resources (the way nazis murdered and looted and redistributed to their favorite failfamilies) or even something surreal like the incel supporters actually getting government issued slaves while destroying all other safety nets entirely, if you dare. After all, Dr. Professor Lobster Esquire PhD MD says that's the price of civilization, bucko. up-yours-woke-moralists

Let's be generous and assume no outright nuclear war, just so there's something to actually visualize other than a more actually historically accurate version of the Fallouterino treats. soypoint-1 nuke soypoint-2

if not somebody should create one!!

like a Firefox for dating.

if our communist comrades made it, we could slip in commie propaganda and sex positive stuff too. and you could still make money off of generic ads in the app that like, sex toy makers purchase, or cheap ads for like Democracy Now! etc.

I mean actual proper research, not CIA propaganda. I want to learn what truly was censored, both when it comes to politics and culture like books or film, and actual material reasons why.

Preferably stuff that destroys the typical Western bullshit about no freeze peach lol, I want to put it against Western censhorship and propaganda.

I get pretty frustrated when someone walks slower than me and keeps lurching back and forth so I can't overtake. Idk why, might miss bus maybe.

I don't say or do anything, though sometimes I nip onto the road or between some tight terrain to overtake

I feel like I've actually encountered some Libs IRL and in other online spaces who at least sounded more intelligent. Every one that wanders in here just insists that their right, cites Wikipedia, and tries to troll people like a 14 year old who stole their moms laptop.

You think we'd occasionally get a somewhat more articulate one there but I've yet yo see it.

Who is Loner Box? (hexbear.net)

I think that was his name. He just popped up on my YouTube recommended videos with an hour long video replying to a Hakim video about Ukraine. Not sure if it's countering or adding onto.

The only people who pop up on my recommended list tend to be pretty cool because my algorithm has got me pretty figured out (it's how I discovered Hakim and other leftist video essayists in the first place, and recently revolutionaryth0t who I think has good potential), so normally I'd just give him a chance but that's a long video to watch for a new content creator, and if he sucks I don't want to discover by going through all his videos in case the algorithm thinks that means I like him lol.

Has the algorithm kept up its good streak or messed up this time? I don't mind watching if he's a lib, as long as he has more good takes than bad takes, or is otherwise educating and entertaining enough (like I'd categorize Wisecrack or Some More News, or lots of non-political channels).

I genuinely feel like America bombing the hell out of so many countries in Africa just naturally would endear those countries to anyone except America and their Western vassals, but apparently a lot of twitter users can't seem to comprehend that.

Is whatever debt these countries incur worse than the IMF? Are the consequences anywhere near as bad?

I usually like to start from the position that the leaders of these countries know what they're doing (something Western twitter users don't), so I personally doubt it's anywhere near as bad as people claim, and no matter how bad it is, I don't believe for a moment it could be as bad as the IMF.

So I bought a heap of cheap manufacturered soviet medals on Aliexpress, and I occasionally will let people in my org award them to each other for praiseworthy stuff. But now there's anarchists in my group and they might find that offensive. So what's the anarchist version?

I swear to God, this isn't a bit.

I recently acquired a whiteboard and so far I like using it as a way to help me focus when developing ideas I have, but the random markers that came with it are second hand and at this point suck. Does anyone have any recommendations for good markers or should I just grab expo markers or something?

One of mine (I have many yay neurodivergece) is when people say the phrase "a broken clock is right twice a day". The phrase is actually "a stopped clock is right twice a day." A clock that is stopped will definitely be right twice a day but a clock that is broken could be right multiple times a day or not at all depending on how it's broken. Maybe it's just a little slow running in which case it'll never be right. Maybe it's spinning wildly out of control so it'll be right a lot but still useless.

It annoys the shit outta me and it is so dumb it definitely should not. Anyway your turn.

Let's say someone in DC or someone long-affiliated with the federal government is suddenly wracked by guilt. They need to clear their conscience by telling the truth of what they've done, seen, or been complicit in. You're called to interview them, and they'll be 100% honest. Who would you want this person to be, and what would you ask them? Before he died, I would've said George H.W. Bush, because he was (bafflingly) at the center of so much American political malfeasance for decades. I'd want to know about the October Surprise, Iran-Contra, CIA-crack scandal, the Carlyle Group, and Saudi connections before 9/11. I mean, can you imagine how many conspiracy theories he could've affirmed (or laid to rest), saving a lot of people the mental energy in speculating? Anyway, who's someone living who'd be a goldmine?
