How do you comment on a post every minute?

I’m a bot.

You see, a large part of the people in in this country have somehow convinced themselves that helping poor people is a bad thing.

Illegal Immigrants are stealing from me, personally. I should be richer and healthier and happier than I am right now. But every time I turn on the TV, I see grainy video footage of someone with excessively brown skin (or perhaps blue hair) saying or doing something I don’t like. And then I get a paycheck in the mail and its too small to cover my increasingly bloated household budget. The people on the TV are telling me that the grainy video footage is why costs are going up far faster than my household income can cover it.

Poverty leads to anxiety. Poor personal health and mental wellness fuels my mental instability. The people on the TV tell me that things used to be much better, but all these illegals ruined it. They’re breaking the law and nobody is doing anything to stop them. But now, at long last, we have someone brave enough and strong enough and charismatic enough to lead a revolution against the illegals. We have an army now and that army is bravely fighting for our freedom by catching the illegals and punishing them.

Once we’ve finished getting rid of all the illegals, we’re going to see a big wave of prosperity. And then I, a poor person, am going to benefit enormously.

But the Far Left liberal elites don’t want me to enjoy that prosperity. So they’re trying to stop our brave heroes by taking away their money and wasting it on stupid Chinese Hoaxes and welfare for Muslim terrorists. This has been a plot I’ve heard about for a long time, because the people on the radio told me about it when I was much younger. And so we’re in an existential fight for the soul of the country.

Really it’s everybody’s fault for letting people who think helping poor people is a bad thing become so powerful that they now run the country.

I agree with you completely. I’m poor and I’m tired of the Radical Leftists saying I shouldn’t receive any help.

Mr. Donald President Trump is changing that. We’re Making American Great Again. Anyone who can’t see that is being brainwashed. I support our President. I love our President. I love Jesus Christ, because he also wanted to help poor people like me. I’m going to join ICE and help my nation become strong again. And then I’m going to join the National Guard so that we can bring this freedom to the rest of the world.

We need to beat the evil communists and radical socialists who are destroying our country. We need to do this before I get any sicker and poorer and older. If we don’t do it now, we’re going to lose. I don’t want my white children to grow up in a world where they are treated badly. I want them to rule the world. So I’m going to fight and do whatever it takes to make sure that we secure the existence of our people and a future for white children

So glad those Italian and Spanish ships did…

Being there likely saved Gretta from getting merc’d by an IDF sniper.

They’re not doing enough, but they’re also not doing nothing.

Strike called in Italy, protests flare over interception of Gaza aid ships

Italian unions called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the international aid flotilla for Gaza, while protests sprang up in a number of cities late on Wednesday after reports that the ships had been intercepted by military personnel. In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators got into the main railway station and halted train traffic, while police surrounded the Termini railway station in Rome after protesters gathered close to entrances.

…

In the northwestern city of Genoa, the USB announced that it intended to block the port and called on all protesters to gather at 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) at one of the main entrances. Over the past two weeks, protesting Italian dockworkers have prevented various ships from docking and loading, targeting vessels they say were involved in trade with Israel.

I’d like to see ol’ Benny Netanyahu wiggle his way out of this one

Patents have a short life span.

Years, depending on how it is used and renewed. But the point is that you’ve got a minefield of potential legal liabilities every time you try and launch a business. You don’t know whether what you’re doing is patented until you check. And if enough entrepreneurs have their businesses blown up early on, it delays how quickly alternative energy can be built out and deployed by at least as long as these patents survive.

When the government is in your corner, handing out subsidies, leaving environmental rules unenforced, securing new oil fields overseas through military force, and generally making your life as an energy tycoon easier, you’re at a comparative advantage to the wind farm guy who has to argue with the Kennedys over hurting a bird or obstructing the Massachusetts Bay skyline.

Literally the title post you’re arguing under.

A russian literally wrote the book on how to take down the country.

Sorry bro, but the calls are coming from inside the house.

Part Two of Washington Bullets begins with a nine point manual on how the US goes about enacting regime change against those who defy their interests. Prashad uses the events of the 1954 CIA backed coup of Jocobo Arbenz in Guatemala, and a myriad of other examples, to describe the repeated strategies used by the CIA, and other regime change arms of the US State Department. There are patterns of imperialism which play out again and again. Understanding these patterns is vital when analyzing what the State Department is currently looking to do to their enemies such as China, Venezuela, and Iran.

The first step in any US regime change effort is to manufacture public support for intervention. This involves a propaganda campaign not just at home, but also within the target Nation. Prior to the coup in Guatemala, journalists from NYT, Chicago Tribune, and TIME all received payments from the United Fruit, the multinational company which dominated Guatemala. In reality Arbenz was a popular leader who sought to enact minor land reforms. In the media he was portrayed as a dangerous communist, drunk with power. As the US corporate media fell in line, the CIA filled the streets of Guatemala with anti-Arbenz propaganda. This strategy of propagandizing both the American Public, and the people of whatever country the US is targeting, has been repeated again and again. Libya, Syria, and Venezuela have all seen money from the West used to bolster right wing media campaigns inside their borders. Control of public opinion has been one of the most vital components to US regime change efforts from the beginning.

Step four in Prashad’s manual of regime change is to “Make the Economy Scream.” A reference to directions given by Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon to the CIA in 1970, as the US looked to overthrow the Democratically elected Salvadore Allende in Chile. Here we see a vital component of what Prashad calls ‘hybrid war.’ Isolating from the world those Nations who seek to develop themselves, and reclaim their own natural resources. Sanctions and blockades are used to starve smaller nations of financing and trade, as corporate media outlets point and say “look. Don’t you see socialism clearly doesn’t work?” US sanctions recently led to many deaths in Venezuela and Iran during the Covid-19 pandemic, as the US has continued their murderous regime change efforts, with techniques they designed almost 70 years ago.”

It’s [REDACTED] or be [REDACTED] out there

I can say Trump is a child fucker

You can scream it into a paper bag, sure.

But good luck keeping your job as a host on The View or a special investigator at the FBI.

Coal is cheap

Not anymore. Hasn’t been cheap in decades

40% of police beat their spouses

magats are not patriots.

They are. That’s the dirty truth of the Post-Cold War state of the nation. What we’re getting a taste of is authentic Real Americana.

All the flowery liberal hagiographies of noble, selfless liberty lovers was propaganda. Trump is the beating heart of American oligarchy. And the oligarchs have had this country by the throat since the day settlers put boots on the soil of the New World.

These “nationalists” don’t even love the country, they do not support freedom

The “freedom” this country promises is a lie. It’s the old Auschwitz line. “Work shall set you free”. Horseshit. These people want to work you into your grave.

You’re really discounting that fossil fuels have hella bang for the buck, loads of power per gallon. tl;dr: Energy dense

Coal is generally the worst of the lot. Oil and gas burn cleaner and have more combustible by weight. Coal is energy dense but also heavy af and dirty as hell. It’s also very common place and comparably safe to transport. And it is simpler to use.

Fine enough to warm your home or grill some meat. But you’re not putting a rocket into orbit with coal.

My best battery is a huge LIPO4, trolling motor can’t kill it, not even close. But leaving the LED lights on for a little over a day drained it dry.

Sure. Broadly speaking you want to be hooked up to the grid to benefit from electricity. Anything portable is very ineffective for a litany of reasons.

Friend of mine was dating a neuroscience PhD in Syndey, Australia. When they met, he was near flat broke and moved in just to help defray the cost of rent.

A couple years later, he was approached by a Chinese recruiter that offered him a $2M signing bonus and a $1.5M salary to move to Tsinghua University and join their $10M/year neuroscience program. They literally don’t know what to do with all the money and mostly continue to live these modest lives with comically oversized bank accounts. He gets to play with cutting edge equipment alongside a sizeable staff. She takes care of a small house in the country and raises bunnies for fun.

You’ll notice I said “many”

I’ll spot you “a few”.

Standing question as to how far they’d get. With Italian and Turkish support, there was some amount of speculation as to whether the IDF would risk a shooting war with a NATO state over a handful of civilian protesters doing an aquatic sit-in.

What’s extra crazy is that they’re being arrested 80 miles off the coast in international waters, dragged into Israel, forced at gunpoint to sign deportation orders, and then being forced out again. That is, of course, assuming none of the soldiers decide to kill one or more of them along the way.

Since the Iraqi military was either defeated on the battlefield or surrendered

Ukraine’s military has been whittled down to a nub. They’re relying almost entirely on equipment, support, and mercenary companies from NATO states at this point in the war. The Ukrainians still in the fight are largely unwilling conscripts picked up off the street and press-ganged into playing grenade tag with their Russian conscript counterparts.

But I guess Russia’s military isn’t able to capture celebrity comedian and professional t-shirt guy President Zelensky. So, yay! Winning?!
