“look how I’m making fun of political violence even existing”

Youre hilarious, brother

Why do you think it’s “a flex?” Are you by any chance a relatively young man? (Because taking everything as a competition is most often associated with that demographic.)

It’s not “a flex”. It’s people being worried about the US. I am too, because while I’m not American, I also know that the US is a significant world power, especially military-wise. (As in lots of expensive gear, although the soldiers are second grade.)

Why do you take someone worrying for you as them trying hurt you?

Trump is hurting you. This guy isn’t. He’s trying to help.

What’s the point?

“You better believe we have weapons you can’t defend from, like, at all! We could totally take on NATO, easily. So like, don’t, like, even think about helping Ukraine any more!”

Russia (and/or the Soviet Union) has been doing variations of that to Finland since WWII.

That’s basically why it took us so fucking long to join NATO, because the argument used to be “uuuh, we can’t afford to piss off Russia!”

But since they obviously don’t care about their own capacity for war and invaded Ukraine, we thought, “fuck it, why not”.

So Russia used to have a bit of a buffer with Finland but since we joined, Putler is having even more heatenings.

Thus this sort of saber rattling.

Seeing as we’re on .ml I wouldn’t be surprised if Davel or Dessalines or one of the others just deletes this as some sort of anti-Russian discrimination and bans me.

Oh and just to remind Vanja. Don’t try to come over our Eastern border. #(Unless you’re alone and escaping Putlerism, but you should do that before the remining is done.)*

The Way is Shut!

A bit of a tangent but just today I watched a short about the history of what British colonialist did to the Hijra in India.

Basically they went over there and went “more than two genders? THAT’S ILLEGAL.”

Yet nowadays we have transphobes always reciting how it’s somehow a woke new thing to not have the sexual sensibilities of a Victorian British person.

The US is being run by Russia.

Time for proof about that 2A argument.

earned through their labor

The people who are on hourly rarely have yachts. Fishing boats, perhaps. Sailboats are more rare, but the random fanatic boatbuilder? I’ve seen it on occasion. But yachts? Nah. That’s some intergenerational wealth going there, inherited something or rich parents back loans which enable the person to start their own company to rip off the labour of others. I know a bunch of them, born with a golden spoon up their arses.

People don’t get rich working hard. They get rich by stealing the profit from the hard work of others. I’m sure you know this.

It is very arbitrary, sure.

I think a main thing is people who describe their boats as yachts usually aren’t going from paycheck to paycheck.

Sure, man. Sure.

Boats are typically considered yachts when they are or exceed 24 meters.

A potential buyer of a superyacht with a net worth of around €25,000,000 might consider that 10-30% of their net worth invested in a used superyacht is something that they can reasonably afford, whereas potential buyers of new yachts might want to have a net worth in excess of €50,000,000 to feel comfortable.

It is estimated that around 130,000 people may have this level of wealth worldwide although experts reckon that only a few thousand individuals are actively involved in owning, building, buying and selling the approximately 8,700 motor and 1,750 sailing superyachts over 24 metres that have been built.

Purposefully tearing everything down

This guy gets it

Oh yeah, it’s less hypocritical.

But perhaps we’d rather it was named and acted like DoD, instead of being named DoD and acting like DoW.

You should prolly read the article.

‘We want to be offensive too’ — Trump’s Department of War move shows his flimsy grasp of history

They did warn them, though.

I don’t know who those people are.

But divorced parents trying to buy their kids love care. And after comic book nerds collectors , they’re probably the second biggest income for Disney. After all the collectors only buy for themselves usually, whereas a parent may have to buy for more than one.

Sure, it could be suicide, but c’mon

I think a person killing themselves would probably not try to frame others for it. What, he thought it would be funny?

So yeah, no way in hell am I buying that this was a suicide.

I think the earlier guy was asking if he’s ever left the US because “travel widens the mind”, but when people like that leave the country, they don’t even really need to “leave the country”. A private plane, constantly driven by his own people, eating his own food, etc etc etc.

Like Trump can go anywhere in the world and still not leave his cosy little McD and Fox&Friends bubble.

The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,”

Well no, right to free speech isn’t curbed here. The people are just reserving their right to kill off hypocritical dogwhistling would-be fascists.
