that makes sense from a hegemonic perspective, but it doesn’t from any practical one.

russia proved that it wasn’t able to dominate ukraine like the propaganda had suggested it could; yet they’re somehow going to dominate europe.

the europeans have literal colonies within their borders in the form of american military bases and the americans have inflicted the same kind of political violence that it inflicted on latin america (and now the americans are turning on them); yet the russians are still the problem, somehow.

this is rich considering that the economist helped manufacture this narrative themselves.

it’s like the chair shooting meme, but in article form.

it’s expected for orban & hungry; it’s odd for france or germany to do the same thing.

i hope trump imposes those sanctions for purchasing russian oil since the most effective outcome of his administration is weakening the american empire’s soft power.

foam block

so basically american cheese. lol

i wish i understood the european obsession with russia; especially the delusion that russia wants to conquer europe when poland and ukraine was the closest they ever got and the europeans (especially the british) have literally conquered territories across the entire globe.

i wonder of eu capitulation to american hegemony in all sectors, like tech described in this video, will result in more accelerated forms of fascism since they now have to come up with an alternative to the financial and military backing from the fascist machine that they helped create and is now abandoning them.

the manuals contain the prevention that you advocate

First, booker is not blocking an appointment and Filibusters are only useful if they’re blocking legislation and he’s not doing that either; that’s why this stunt is only political theater.

Secondly, Republicans use the quorum and budget ceiling rules when they’re a minority, but the Democrats won’t do the same thing, so they’ve clearly decided that decorum matters more that fascism.

Finally, fascism has been in the pipeline for atleast 40 years and expecting a silver bullet is unrealistic; read the documentation that you demanded from me (assuming that you didn’t demand it in bad faith).

read the materials, it says nothing like this.

it took me 30 seconds to find these on google; you should try doing the same thing.

anything besides performative theater is good

He wasn’t obstructing anything; it was just theater.

the yougov poll showed that it was because they didn’t want to be complicit w the gazan genocide

i think that the scariest thing about all of it is that it can only collapse once there’s isn’t enough money in the world to provide the table scraps necessary to keep the pawns inline; meaning that there isn’t enough food, shelter or even drinkable water to keep them towing the line.

the last largest financial crises averted a system wide shutdown and created a welfare state that allowed this system to continue operating and its wealth gap ensures that there will be millions of people who will voluntarily join the military in the hopes of viable future; as is happening right now.

it also feels like the media capture of the colonial narrative is holding strong examplified in tiktok’s ban and ukraine’s invasion. those native american pogroms were documented during their time and the people adjacently impacted, ie the mexicans, were cast aside until the memory of them only existed history books.

i feel that capitalism learns from its mistakes and adjusts since the people who benefit from it are learning, thinking beings who want to perpetuate it for their personal gain; the only thing that can stop it is itself, once it’s inherent contradictions become too large to smooth over.

i think it’s on par with liberals reading and refusing to learn from it.

they can; they just don’t.

at best: this is going the same way that the native american genocides happened and just like then, there will be no consequences.

at worst: americans and isrealis will be subjected to more bombings and/or more 9/11’s, leading our governments to respond with more wars and our people to further inculcate themselves with further complicity.

you’re nicer than i am; i just send them a link to my github/gitlab repo’s and then COMPLETELY check out.
