Yes, but line goes up, and by the time it goes down I’m not gonna be holding the bag anyway

That’s the ransom.

The government could easily provide universal access to those, but tying it up into the financial system is how you get people to give them enormous leeway to rob them blind.

Hopefully they’re taking measures to ensure that what happened in Tlatelolco in 68 doesn’t happen to them

Y’all could take time and resources to investigate which one it was and under what room but since that’s apparently not how things are done anymore maybe a nice [TALKING TO AND FINGER WAGGING] should be done to every agent in the building idk

If only he’d been trampled under the vehicle 😔

Widespread debt peonage, that’s never gone wrong for any government

I think KDE Neon would be nice for a new user. I like Pop OS and it’s really cute and sleek but the shortcuts are needlessly different from windows a bunch of times, if she’s somehow used to alt+tab to change windows and not just window groups she’s gonna have a hard time learning another way to do it.

He really is the new and improved Millennial Bernie. Even AOC was pretending not to be a DNC stooge for like a year and this dude is speedrunning it before he’s even sworn in. Young enough to become the socdem class traitor GOAT if he can pace himself.

The only way the US could have stopped it would have been not to coup Yanukovich in the first place or engage in an all-out war with Russia that would kickstart WW3 and, most likely, nuclear war.

As Marxist-Leninists have been saying from the first month of the engagement, the point has never been for Ukraine to win with full support from the west, but to use an expendable proxy to attempt weakening a perceived threat with as little commitment as humanly possible, I can’t believe y’all keep falling for the same transparent playbook.

Afghanistan had a heavily armed population in a mountainous and very cavernous terrain where air support was a liability and heavy infantry/armored divisions were absolutely useless, not to mention a very motivated guerrilla popping up from every corner.

Ukraine is running out of their sponsor’s money and gear, and they have to kidnap young people off the streets to get enough cannon fodder. That’s not even close to a comparable situation. Try living in the real world for maybe an hour and you’ll stop being blindsided by your copium dreams.

The fell for it again award for US vassals

Well, they killed the people responsible for the leaks so that kind of dampened their reach

Typical statesian projection. There’s plenty of decent and even admirable politicians, you just obviously won’t find them in the empire’s employ.

But they’re making a list. They’re gonna take fifteen years of investigation and then seriously reprimand whomever is alive and maybe even curse at them.

When measured against their contemporaries? JFK, FDR, Eisenhower, Carter. Hell, Biden was a contemporary of Carter and was very much to the right of him.

Which is still a meaningless distinction because the least antisemitic Nazi is still a fucking nazi.

Probably both

If things ever get better for anyone it’s gonna be in spite of you

I hope they get retired in the Good Place sense. Only fitting for a

KKKonde Nast back at it again

They’re the only people, in a sense
