Reminder for the libs that America existed for over 226 years with no Department of Homeland Security, with no issues. Why does the executive need their own personal paramilitary force? The department has lost any semblance of the plot... charitibly granting the assumption there was one to begin with, and it wasn't just a creation of the "Nixon did nothing wrong" cronies. Abolishing DHS is not a radical position to take.

 

Really long video (5 hours) but well worth a watch! Deep dive beginning with the 1848 Revolutions and Reaction, how Fascism superficially co-opts populist positions, Italian Fascism, German Fascism, and how to recognize Fascism today.

Been a while since I last posted... what's the etiquette for posting a link to a YouTube video? We should use a mirror link, right?

You gotta respect the commitment to the bit. Things don't suck right now because, uh, out of control income inequality and corporate rent seeking, it's because of... trade.

I predict Dems pushing gun control for the 10,000th time and thinking it'll help Joe's reelection chances, lol.

The whole principle behind electoral politics is to give your symbolic consent to be governed by a person. Therefore not voting is a principled stand if you don't consent to be governed by any of the clowns being presented. Its really that simple.

Anyone else remember when Trump picked real estate broker and son-in-law Jared Kushner to broker peace in the middle east? Lol. I guarantee the thought process there was just a little racism. frothingfash

Know what's really depressing... what may explain record warming this year was phase-out of sulfur fuel used in cargo ships 2020.

Sulfur emissions into the air kept warming lower than it should have been due to thr "global dimming" effect.

So, I guess in a way geoengineering is already occurring... it's just really reckless and unmanaged. Feels bad. 😞

Hard disagree. (Heads up, gonna get real language wonk here.) American English is actually based off English peasant pronunciations. The whole modern British accents crap is actualy a late 19th century phenominon that was intended to replicate social caste systems by enforcing stupid cultural boarding school pronunciations. Yeah, really, look it up! American English is more akin to English as it was originally spoken. Most American immigrants were the undesirables of European society. Before there was American imperialism, there was British imperialism and, while fuck 'em both, I'm gonna stick with the historical pronunciation of the working class.
