There’s a certain excitement to living today. Is this part of trumps further decline into senility? Is big balls just a dumbass who doesn’t know his geography? Is this one of many ai fuckups? So many possibilities

Edit: I actually think what happened was this. As you can see here tariffs were not only placed on countries, but also those countries territories. Australia and its territories all got 10%, and that’s probably why these islands got hit with a ten percent tariff. It was just grouped in as “australia territory.” Whether anyone actually knew what it was is anyone’s guess.

Not sure if this is real or not, but this all reads like you know you should wear a helmet and are ashamed when people point it out. You’re just finding ways to avoid the fact that deep down you know those people are right.

I’m glad Elon is around just to show that Americans don’t have a monopoly on being absolute cringe

Sorta sick of hearing about this tbh. I’ve seen everyone reporting on this damn egg heist, like international papers even. Our hospitals are overflowing, massive numbers of schools having to close, due to one of the worst flu seasons and respiratory illness seasons in years. Kansas has the worst tuberculosis outbreak in a century. And of course there’s the bird flu news that gets worse by the day. And in terms of eggs, how about the price gouging going on? No let’s get all up in arms about people stealing (admittedly a ton) of eggs because of white suburbanites’ identification with the ownership class and their constant obsession with “crime.” Good for these people. I hope they get away and go on to steal even more eggs.

Sick of hearing about the goddamn elites

Okay I’ll have to go over that. I do know Weber and the Protestant work ethic, though I’ve never read it.

Ah yeah I was gonna say that sounds more like some weird American prosperity theology. Which idk I associate more with Pentecostalism? Or related movements

I still fail to see how this has to do with Calvinism. Liberals aren’t accusing conservatives of having some inherent essential characteristic of “sinfulness.” Well maybe they are, but they’re criticizing them based on political beliefs and actions. Which is what we do all the time

I thought election was based on nothing and there was no real way to tell if you were saved?

Reposting my comment from another thread, Mmw Gaza becomes the first of thiel’s “network city” crypto havens. That’s why these fascists were so obsessed with “the Palestinians could’ve had such great beachfront property!” They wanted to drive out the native population and have those who remain as laborers in their dumbass crypto dystopia.
