Yeah it makes sense that Rogan would vote for whoever is physically largest. That’s good criteria for good politics

Gonna be honest, I’m not gonna read the entire thing, but it seems like a purely adventurist, individualist text. “Be cool and special and important, be the main character, be better than everyone else. Be different from the mindless masses”.

This thinking exists to make individuals feel better about themselves. It does not advance any cause or help anyone

She had the same effect that Bernie did for a lot of people, but she turned out a million times cooler than him. I would love to meet her some day and just tell her how much I respect her

I’m the same age as Greta, and she was a massive inspiration to me when she started. I was a communist first but she has done massive amounts of good, getting young people invested in climate change action, and also seeing how useless liberal protest is

this is a professional sketch artist’s rendition of what I saw that night

okay i have a true story to tell

so i was driving home, late at night, after finishing a shift at the bar i worked in, hungry and tired from work. so i dont know what i actually saw.

but while i was driving, something scuttled across the road in front of me. it was really weird, and i couldnt see very well because it was at the edge of my headlights. but it looked to be a meter tall, with two very long skinny legs, like a heron or something, and a small round torso. so, could have been a heron, there are some of those around - but it ran on its legs in a way that birds dont. like, it scittered across the road like a person. birds dont run that fast, and herons certainly dont.

it was probably a dog or something, and i just didnt see right, because, like i said, i was hungry, tired, and irritated from work, and it was dark. but the way it moved was very weird.

maybe it was some kind of homunculus

Economists have assured me that there is a direct correlation between minimum wage increasing causing the price of a big Mac to increase. So surely the increase of a big Mac will cause the minimum wage to increase! 😊

The friend who radicalized me is now a fascist-adjacent EU liberal.

It’s depressing as fuck and I honestly don’t know why, but at some point it’s like he just decided to become a bad person. He was a communist when he was like 14, got me into it, then when he was like 17 he became a piece of shit. Insanely misogynistic, would only talk to women he wanted to have sex with, and just incredibly rude to people he didn’t know, even when they were nice people.

Now he’s moved to the Netherlands to study EU politics or something, and all I know about him comes from his Instagram posts. He posts ableist shit all the time, he’s in love with the EU and he just posted a Ukrainian fascist badge which he owns.

I remember sitting in a park with him when we had just finished school, telling him that I was going to join an ML org. He snorted and called them larpers, to which I pointed out that he didn’t do any political activity at all, and I’d rather larpers than nothing. He thought because he read Lacan and smoked weed and was cynical that he was above politics.

It’s so depressing. He used to be genuinely empathetic. He was a feminist when every boy his age was sexist, he would always tell people of the evil shit the US does, he genuinely got angry at capitalism. Now he’s just a sack of shit

He looks and sounds like a great companion, you’re lucky to have him

BRICS currency would be a godsend but respectfully that looks fucking awful. It’s like 50% as bad as that terrible rejected EU flag that just had every flag stretched out.

But the fact that people in BRICS are even talking about a united currency is crazy. It really shows that the dollar is no longer the be all and end all of international trade and finance. 10 years ago, for countries like India and South Africa to even be in an organization where this is considered would be unthinkable.

Over the past few years, BRICS has catapulted from a trading bloc to a serious political force. The BRICS account on Twitter was calling it the “BRICS alliance”, which is some loaded language. It’s clear that there is a desire for a real counterweight to the west ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, and BRICS is finally stepping up to fill that role

Americans have no idea how states or militarys or civil wars actually work.

The USA has the most well-funded army in the world. Any real attempt at civil disturbance would be immediately put down by the army. The military would need a significant internal split for civil war to ever be on the table. Even if, somehow, a significant portion of the army was opposed to the current government, nothing would happen because it wouldn’t benefit any capitalists at all to start a civil war.

The only significant divide in the American bourgeoisie is between democrat-flavoured tech giants and republican-flavoured jetski dealerships, and they certainly can’t be bothered to make a civil war happen

People who go for the chicken in parkour society are doomed to never improve their lives and always remain at the bottom of the hierarchy lol

Ukrainians are already wanting an end to the war, increasing conscription couldnt possibly help anything

Dirt_Owl is cute and I think we should date them

Hello newsmega heads, I have a question. Has the USA declined in absolute power since the 90s, or just in relative power? Is it’s ability to wage war, maintain alliance and influence other countries less than what it used to be, or does it just face more resistance?

this shit is hilarious oh my god

Honestly I thought this would be a slam dunk for Trump after the assassination photo, then he completely failed to capitalize on that, then I thought it would be a slam dunk for Harris, then she did absolutely nothing to make her likeable and got an endorsement from Cheney. How are both presidential candidates so bad at running for president

Simon Harris is a sack of shit who would strongly condem Israel levelling Dublin and chopping his legs off, but not do anything about it. USA uses Shannon Airport as a military base and delivers weapons to Israel from there, and has since forever, and he, nor any of the other criminals in government, have ever given a single shit.

The first few days of COVID lockdowns, when it was only supposed to be for two weeks, is such an interesting time to look back at. No one in the world knew what was going to happen next

Ireland supporting Palestine is going to get the Irish kicked out of being white again
