It’s deeply funny that Trump managed to sabotage these conservative parties that would have done whatever he wanted , just because Canadian and Australian politicians still have the political instincts to say “fuck you” when a US president tells them to hand over their lunch money and then kiss his ass.
Somehow, European politicians still haven’t figured out that one neat trick.
The Japanese government is currently trying to deal with food shortages from a stupid agricultural policy that has sent the price up rice up 300%. Meanwhile, the US is busy blowing up its own economy while China dog walks Trump over tariffs, and on the military side, the US inventory is so depleted from Israel and Ukraine that they would run out of munitions within the first week of any actual shooting war.
China really is living in the future. Building new space stations, high speed rail and ever cheaper, cleaner energy.
Meanwhile , a single US state is approaching its third decade of trying to build a single line of high speed rail, and our federal politics consist of watching our most ancient boomers build a Gestapo while they are actively dying of old age.
The most disgusting part about this whole episode is that all it took was Trump threatening to cut off the money and weapons.
Biden could have done that at any time over the past year and instead just kept sending tens of billions of dollars, without conditions.
It was deeply boring. One billionaire sucking off another for getting shot at for what felt like a full hour, then Trump rambling on with Musk going “uh huh” “yeah” every minute or so.
I keep thinking the situation can’t get any more vile , but it keeps happening
It’s way too late at this point. Two decades of insane US foreign policy have forced China, Russia and Iran into a partnership, so instead of taking on China they’d be taking on all of Asia, and that’s just not possible.
How the fuck can they read accounts of SS Galicia killing tens of thousands of civilians, and burning men, women and children alive and then be like “Thank you for your service”.
lol, the post-collapse Zoomer warlords would cook and eat him

There’s very little engagement to be had from the site anymore. There’s a narrow range of acceptable discourse, and anyone going off message is quickly censored.
The news subreddits got hit worst of all. It’s pure propaganda , and you can only read so many comments about the great Biden economy and the removed Russian orc before your eyes start to glaze over.
Look at the rates of birth defects and cancer in Falluja to see the answer to that one.
It sounds good, but then the Canadian program also sounded good, before they amended it to allow the state to coerce disabled and indigent people into execution.
Yeah , the big advantage of drones was that they were supposed to be cheap , but the defense companies fixed that a long time ago.
There’s also been bloat from only ever using them in the war on terror, against farmers and shepherds who could never shoot back, but mostly it was the profit margin. Which is why US drones now cost 30 million to 100+ million , so expensive that you can’t afford to lose them.
Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.
This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.
if you look at the data from the elections earlier this month, it seems like the real danger is that many labor voters have simply stopped voting
They’re not voting for other parties. They’ve simply stopped showing up to polls at all.
