Eh, I can’t remember the last time I saw trump flags/signs around me…

And they get nervous when the topic comes up.

They’re not gonna start protesting trump, but they’re also likely to stay home instead of vote

Pretty hard to call it a civil war when one side is the government killing and abducting people with impunity, and the only example of an ICE agent getting hurt or anything resembling consequences is he slipped and fell on the ice…

…

Is the author ignorant that Venezuela was also an ally until we invaded and kidnapped their leader?!

Like, is it ignorance or racism because this time it’s a “white country”?

which may partially explain their divorce

Pretty sure her and Bill have said it’s because Bill couldn’t stay away from Epstein…

Like, he’s admitted it was a factor, she says she told him multiple times to stay away from him and he just wouldn’t…

That level of wealth fucks with anyone’s head. I highly doubt there’s a single billionaire on the planet who isn’t into something so disgusting we can’t even imagine it. Even Melinda, but she might still not like international child abuse rings.

Hell, her only issue might have been how public those two were, I just can’t give any billionaire the benefit of the doubt, because if they weren’t a piece of shit, they wouldn’t be a billionaire.

Everything good Gates does is for PR and paid for money that should have went to taxes anyways.

If he was really a good person, hed have used most of his wealth to fix shit the second he got it. Same for every billionaire, even the ones in office with a D by their name.

If you think NED needs to be defunded…

In February 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk blocked disbursement from the Treasury of the NED’s congressionally-mandated funding;[15][16] in August, the NED was granted an injunction to allow access to its funds.[17]

Congrats, you agree with Elmo and DOGE…

Weird…

I googled him and a month ago he announced retiring on 1/17/26, which seems to be when he was murdered.

Might not even be connected to being a judge, or maybe someone really didn’t want him off the bench?

Sure thing lil buddy…

Just like if you ever met anyone from any of those groups, I’m sure you’d adjust your opinions to meet facts

Great, more AI slop

Going by recent history

Fucking around with a pretty shitty South American government isn’t recent norm is the geopolitical norm for centuries…

Taking a giant landmass from a European country is going to get a different response.

He hated the US neoliberal democratic order because they snubbed him and wouldn’t let him in their club,

Huh?

He was fully in the neoliberal club…

He got the fucking Clinton’s to come to one of his weddings, neoliberals loved him because they were one of the few people he actually wrote checks too. Because he always got a return on it.

The shit about him not liking the Clinton’s is just WWF play acting.

I thought all lives mattered…

He is deeply and intimately familiar with the technical and social structures of the modern internet, his analysis of various phenomena and trends is usually on-point and has some predictive power

If you think he predicts anything, you’re streets behind

Most importantly he offers solutions to the issues facing us

He repeats what anyone could find in a five minute Google search from articles written by others.

I’ve never seen an original thought, he’s the Carlos Mencia of tech.

I mean, to be real it’ll be an invasion club.

Join and pay up, and everyone votes that your invasion is for long-term stability and peace.

Don’t join up, and get labeled an aggressor for defending your own soverignity.

If Russia, China, NK join up, it stops being a joking matter

I think they all do as they’re told

Maybe true for marines less than six month out of training, but that’s not who trump is sending.

He wants to send fucking airborne rangers, specifically an artic division out of Alaska.

ICE is 100% going to want to act like equals and when that immediately fails they will try to be extra violent to impress them.

And airborne rangers are not just going to let them run wild on civilians.

You think someone is going thru one by one and determining if they’re loyal

Are you thinking the military is 100% loyal?

I know you’re wrong, just not how you’re wrong…

Literally anyone he sends besides ICE, aren’t going to put up with what ICE is doing.

We don’t know how long we can hold onto this DNC, we need to primary everyone we can, while we can.

If the neoliberals take it back, they’re threaten to yank funding from states again if their chosen candidates aren’t on the general ballot.

We have to capitalize while we can, so that they can’t obstruct after midterms. Having a D by their names isn’t all we have to settle for.

I think moneyed interests will outcompete progressive will

That’s wild…

You think ad spending would be enough to make a neoliberal popular?

What are you basing that on? Because it’s not the last dozen plus years of reality…

There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.

Oh yeah, because no one has “documented” that AI is bullshit yet…

Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!
