Disagree. Consider that Pegasus’s vector was very often specially crafted SMS payloads.

Uhhh, Russia is fascist? They privatized all their industry, including their military industry, they scapegoat an internal enemy, and they believe in the ultimate supremacy of their own demographic?

IQ only means something within a small subset of the establishment. It’s a made up thing that is highly biased towards white European men. Yes, the system will hold you back if they determine you to have a low IQ, but for thousands of years people of all intelligences successfully lived in societies with others.

You have to give up the belief that the system is the sum total of reality. It’s the reason you wonder if your life is over at 23 - because the system is narrow and myopic and only has a little space in it and everyone else is pushed out. But the system isn’t even half of real life, and when you find the rest of life by giving up on the system you’ll find your life is just beginning.

Carl Jung even said that life doesn’t start until 40 - everything before that is just research.

Uhhhh, which communist entities is the US about to become buddy-buddy with?

I love that the USA has the power to order a Chinese country not to ship things it makes to other parts of China.

There is literally no need for compromat on Trump at this point. Between Stormy Daniels and Epstein and being convicted of felonies, the compramat can’t actually do anything. It’s unlikely that there IS any compramat. It’s much more likely that, as a NYC real estate mogul, Trump has extensive business dealings with the Russian mob and the top Russian billionaires.

Please tell me this is sarcasm. The fact that there have been so much consistent reporting over such a long period of time about NATO and Ukraine means it absolutely needs to be considered.

I don’t even need an article to refute all of that - Russia attacked a neighbor unprovoked, NATO has attacked NOBODY ever.

Again, please tell me this is satire. NATO has attacked multiple countries over the years. But also, since the advent of nuclear weapons, firing the first shot stopped being the standard. Because the first shot can now be a total annihilation shot, no country is capable of having a strategy that judges threats only by who fired the first shot. It must be judged by who is establishing the positioning to undermine security. Russia is not deploying nuclear capabilities around the world. The USA is deploying nuclear capabilities around the world, and in Europe it is doing so through NATO. This may be a shock to you, but deploying nuclear capabilities to undermine the security of another nation is NOT an act of peace.

Thank you for stating Occam’s Razor correctly. I am so sick of these “performative rationalists”

It turns out that courting a war criminal like Cheney didn’t have any impact on Republicans and demotivated over 10M Democrat voters who didn’t want to support a party that would support Cheney. Who could have predicted that?

Her campaign was further right than Reagan!

The Harris campaign was further to the right than Ronald Reagan was. She brought the Neoconservative movement into her campaign. She literally said the only difference between her and Biden would be that she would have a Republican in her cabinet. She’s a prosecutor focused on “law and order” and huge supporter of cops. She said there were no conditions she would ever put on Israel. Her campaign mocked Trump for not building enough of a wall, and that she would be tough on immigration, without saying anything about child separation, solitary confinement for toddlers at the border, and violence against the most downtrodden at the hands of border patrol.

She absolutely ran a campaign that was nearly indistinguishable from a Republican campaign from 20 years ago.

Trump got the same votes as last time. He convinced no more people. Meanwhile Harris got 10M less votes than Biden. She lost because she couldn’t convince those 10M to vote her. When she courted Dick Cheney, it becomes obvious why. The people who would have voted for the Ds saw them correctly as now right of Reagan.

It’s OK. We don’t need you to understand. We love each other very much and defend each other against people like you. Insults are one of the ways we get people like you to leave. Now go on … git!

Wow. The two party system has you so fucked that you imagine if the Ds disintegrate that the only replacement would be the Republicans. Read history, I beg you. The Ds will disintegrate over the next decade and they will be replaced by a better stronger party that takes their place.

Good question. If you have two parties ostensibly desiring office, and both will commit genocide, you punish the one that is ostensibly relying on you as their base until they stop the genocide. It’s a game of chicken with that party. And the Democrats lost that game. They thought “we will still get what we want even though we are genociders” and they didn’t.

So now. They will have to stop being genociders if they want to win next time. It would have been 4 years of genocide either way, but now the people have shown that if you want to win next time, you need to not be genociders.

That’s a white puritan definition of perfection, and perfection itself is a white supremacist Christian concept. You may think you’re an atheist but you have a lot of Christendom to shed.

Emotions are super potent. You will not be whole until you feel all of them and work with them on a regular basis. Eliminating anger from your life is a totalitarian strategy based on a Christian ideology that is fundamentally anti-human. Anger is amazing.

Yes, the standards you are holding for yourself are absolutely toxic and you will suffer from them long-term.

I’ve literally seen you accused of illiteracy multiple times in this post ALONE.

Perhaps your literacy problem is bigger than we thought.

This is just to start training and organizing the guerilla cells that will be left behind for the protracted conflict.

I think maybe you’re just not a very careful reader.

Because America is dying?
