Jokes aside this suffers from the Disney villain trope where the villain is 90% correct but they have to shove in a 10% evil so they can be villains and you oppose them.

Shinzon was a Picard clone who was turned into a slave alongside Remans who are used as slave labor, and his plan was to free the Remans from servitude and it looks like he wants to (more than just free the Remans from servitude) annihilate the federation and Romulus. I completely admit I'm only about 60% into the movie so perhaps there's more at play but it certainly doesn't look that way.

Shinzon just seems to be evil for evil's sake. Even Picard, upon hearing that Shinzon fought to free himself and Remans asks 'how many Romulans died for that freedom?'; what absolute utter lib crap. Even Shinzon's answer, obviously not his true feeling on the matter (as at the time he was attempting to deceive Picard) was 'too many', as though the people enslaving you should be safeguarded when breaking your chains; there was nothing in the movie (at least up to Picard's chastising question, and perhaps for the entirety of the movie but again, I've only reached up to about 60% of the movie) that indicated that Shinzon had gone after civilian targets.

Didn't the federation literally fight off the Borg to maintain humanity's freedom? How many Borg died for that freedom? Absolute lib crap.

Then I go on to twitter to at least see some beautiful tweets about people like Paul Kagame of Rwanda who strove for national unity and reconciliation (https://x.com/shawnchauhan1/status/1874146691542376640); there are so many movements outside the West that seek to end persecution peacefully, but it is never depicted to us in our media that such horrific chapters could be ended peacefully, or that our victims aren't secretly aiming to wipe us all out, that peace is deeply desired by everyone. The fears that rolled over Southern slave owners when the people of Haiti revolted and broke their chains still feels alive today.

I'm going for several jogs and feel that I should probably logout from this account.

See yinz later from a new one.

Assume you never get tired of the pleasure in heaven, and you never get used to the torture in hell.

Lmao this is such a stupid scenario, but I love putting incomprehensibly large numbers in absurd contexts like this. Like yeah, no brainer that infinity is vastly incomprehsibly largererer than Graham's number, of course nothing is worth going to hell that long for.

But uh, Graham's numbers is a lot of years. For all intents and purposes it's just never coming compared to the characteristic time scale of human thought.

I was riding my bike home just now when a group of kids lobbed a big chunk of snow at me when I passed them on the street before running away and cackling.

Not to sound like yells-at-cloud but when I was a kid me and my friends wouldn't have dared to mess with random adults like that

I'm blaming those damn tiktoks

Fun times! The contradictions of capitalism are rapidly creating a system that doesn't work for anyone at all. Good news! The monopolization of housing, food? More fun for us! The more the system eats itself the more potential to pull people towards the only logical solution which is socialism.

Let's organize locally, unionize locally, talk to your coworkers about wages, redirect our frustration to the system that produces this obscene inequality.

We have a great opportunity now. Those that make peaceful socialist revolution impossible get gageted by an army of apolitical Luigi's and no matter what the memes will be hilarious

That way if they're afraid of making an account themselves they can just use mine. So sometimes it'll be me and sometimes it'll be the fbi posting. I'll try to remember to add a *Not the FBI tag to the end of my posts but I'm dumb as fuck and forget things.

TL;DR no records found. Either HB really is a bunch of libs or I didn't word the request well enough. Never done one of these before.
