Stalin's spoon, now in the hands of Kim Jong Un, has shown you a vision, and apparently your future is in the DPRK. What would you do if you knew this would happen?

This whole thing is being risen again steadily in my circles, but I cannot find my stuff on it.

Can I get sources? and counter-arguments

Since Trump is about to wipe out the DoE with an executive order, remember that Biden could have forgiven all federal loans. The parliament smokers couldn't have stopped him. Congress couldn't have stopped him. He could have done it and it would have hurt nothing because Trump would have just closed it down anyways.

Biden didn't because he didn't want to. The people around him could have talked him into it, but they didn't want to. The representatives could have went with a different nominee who would be more personally amicable to debt relief, but those people aren't nominated on purpose. Nobody was stopped by procedure. The procedure worked as planned.

Moreover, Joe Biden owes us $2,000

Apparently this case is famous in Italy, not so much anywhere else. Transcript:

If you’re not Italian, you’ve likely never heard of Nicola Calipari, the Italian secret service agent murdered in Iraq by US soldiers. This is his story.

On February 4, 2005 — exactly 20 years ago — Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena was kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents. Nicola Calipari, a senior officer in the Italian military intelligence service (then SISMI), was tasked with securing her release.

Calipari quickly established contact with the kidnappers, initiating negotiations despite the precarious circumstances. However, the Americans made it clear to their Italian counterparts that they opposed any form of negotiation, instead favouring a military raid to resolve the situation. Undeterred, Calipari pressed on, and one month later, he successfully secured Sgrena’s release.

During her release, the kidnappers warned Sgrena about the dangers she faced from American forces. They urged her to conceal her identity, stating: “If the Americans recognise you, they’ll open fire on you and everyone else. We’ve promised your family you’ll return home, but the Americans don’t want you to make it back alive”. The Italian agents escorting her were acutely aware of the risks. One of Calipari’s colleagues cautioned him: “Get her to safety before sunset, or the Americans will shoot at you”.

After securing Sgrena’s freedom, Calipari personally accompanied her to safety, driving her to Baghdad International Airport for her return to Italy. As their car approached a US military checkpoint near the airport, it came under heavy gunfire from American soldiers. Calipari, sitting beside Sgrena, shielded her with his body and was struck by a fatal bullet, sacrificing his life to protect her.

The Americans later claimed they fired in self-defence, asserting that the car posed a threat. This is a brazen lies. There is overwhelming evidence the US forces were fully aware of who was in the vehicle. At the time, the Americans closely monitored foreign communications in Iraq and would have known every detail of the operation to free Sgrena. Additionally, the soldiers gave no warning before opening fire, and analysis of the 58 bullets fired at the car reveals that 57 were aimed at the passengers, with only the final shot targeting the engine. This pattern indicates that the intention was not to stop the vehicle but to eliminate all its occupants — not just the Italian secret service agents but Sgrena as well.

These details, along with other evidence, suggest that the attack was a deliberate act, likely carried out under orders. A joint investigation by Italian and American authorities was launched but failed to reach a definitive conclusion, primarily due to American resistance. To this day, justice has not been served for Calipari’s death. Another American cover-up to add to the blood-stained list.

Here in Italy, Calipari is remembered as a national hero, his sacrifice emblematic of his commitment to protecting others, even at the cost of his own life — and of how Americans treat their supposed “allies”.

For what it's worth - the Washington Post put the article in the style section.

I have for a while been in a loop of getting on track, facing a small issue, and retreating from too many responsibilities. I think i need to hear some pretty "low level" (idk) advice, how do you pick up the pieces and keep going? How do you cope with feeling like you're constantly catching up, feelings of inadequacy, feelings of guilt for not meeting expectations in the past?

Leaving it broad in the hope this thread gets replies that could help others

I'd like to see Trump wriggle his way out of this protest.

Yes this is real and in a major US city.

Of all the things young people could have latched onto, it's the decade of the great recession almost no place on earth really recovered from, a head bozo in the US that's somehow popular but turned the world into his personal drone playground, while the empire continued as it did.

It was the decade every social movement failed in, and mostly retreated back to moralistic forms of liberalism, just as every equally moralistic right wing reaction grew exponentially, leading to the current issues.

It was the decade climate change was decided to be fixed through a bunch of treaties worth less than the paper they were written on.

It was the decade of the start of the return of the malaise of collapsing empires. Poverty, hunger, climate change caused disasters. War had not went away, but resistance to it did.

Plus, pop culture (the thing most of the nostalgia is directed to - the eternal "It's Christmas ~~1996~~ 2013 and my parents got me ~~a Nintendo 64~~ the new Call of Duty" of obnoxious liberals) sucked ass.
