I just assume at least 60% of American politicians are being blackmailed by Mossad. Half of them are pedophiles anyway, so it's probably not that hard to get dirt on them, especially with Epstein types working at the highest levels.

Liberals almost seem to get off threatening me with death camps if I don't cheer for their specific warmongers.

She oversubscribes to great man theory, to the point that she blames Hitler for the violence in 300 year old German fairy tales... There's no getting through to her on any of this. Besides being absolutely insane, she's actually quite nice.

I only play Breath of the Wild to ride around on horseback and enjoy the scenery and music. So I genuinely can't wait to play this.

It's funny how American nationalists expect this hegemony to maintain itself while they simultaneously let corporations strip every last piece of copper out of the country's walls.

It's wanting to sell your cake to the highest bidder, and eat it too. Ya can't. Ya sold it. It's gone. And the buyer has no interest in selling it back, instead we're all going on cake subscriptions for $17.99 a month.

My mom is a Jewish Russian-American, 3rd generation, granted, but she regularly brings up her Russian heritage in weird self-flagellation shows of devotion to the State Department. If anything reminds her that Putin exists, anything at all, she goes on long genocidal rants about how Russians are evil and there's something wrong with their brains - to prove she's not a hypocrite she then says she'd volunteer to be executed herself if that was the only way to get rid of all Russians.

I pointed out that she is - verbatim - repeating Nazi rhetoric about people they tried to exterminate, and my mother, who, again, is Jewish on top of ethnically Russian, starts going in circles about how no, PUTIN is the next Hitler, because Russians are evil, we're evil, oh my god we're so evil, what is WRONG with us?!

Rachel Maddow has turned my mother into a hysterical gibbon and I don't know how to fix it.

We have to save American Democracy, a political system that affords you no democratic power over anything whatsoever.

I like pointing out that calling Mitch McConnell a turtle ten billion times hasn't removed him from power.

I think he's one of those guys who only only eats red meat to trigger the vegans.

Loukanikos (Greek: Λουκάνικος: "the sausage loukaniko"), initially named "Theodor", was a Greek riot dog that participated in almost every anti-austerity protest in Greece. He was commonly known for joining protests, barking at police, helping in street battles with the Greek police as well as participating in anarchist rallies and picket lines, at least since December 2008. Loukanikos had a reputation of being fearless, usually being in front of the protests and having tear gas thrown at him multiple times. He was active throughout all Greek protests and often leading the protesters towards the police. Initially a stray, he moved from building to building, but was said to have preferred to be on the streets. He was groomed and cared for by multiple left-wing organizations.

The UAP phenomenon implies the existence of a superhuman authority that humans must submit to. By appealing to this authority, whether directly or by allowing the subject to suppose such an arrangement must exist, human power structures are able to reclaim the theological principle of a will and aims beyond human understanding. In doing so, all acts of inhumane violence, elite tomfoolery, and evidence for the invalidity of moral and ethical justifications for enshrining power in our existing institutions become handwaveable and invite the subject to these acts and arrangements to engage in the storytelling aspect of social mythmaking that is starkly lacking in the post modern global secular state order. - Any_Pilot6455 on the truanon sub.

So, in regards to the explanation for this UFO shit being "the military wants more money", I kept going "but the military can get all the money it wants, without making up nonsense about aliens".

... but I didn't consider a nascent desire for the ruling class to bring back a hightened religious fervor, as an opiate for the masses. In this God is Dead world, where even the overtly religious don't sound convinced of their beliefs, the ruling class needs human beings to stop thinking that human beings are in charge of human beings.

They need a new God to blame for everything.

Capitalists would much rather we blame aliens for our miseries instead of capitalists.

The ruling class would much rather have us believe they're just as powerless in the face of an omnipresent God-Thing / Alien-Thing, then to believe they - the wealthy and powerful humans - really are in charge, and that our miseries are the result of their choices and actions / inactions.

So much of our government and economy revolves around offloading responsibility for bad things. One party can blame the other party, one branch of govt can blame another branch, the feds can blame the states, the states can blame the feds, ceo's can blame weak regulations, regulators can blame voters, voters can blame non voters. How nice it would be for the people in charge if we all just collectively blamed aliens, while simultaneously assuming there's nothing we can do about it.

 

Very helpful. 🍑
