Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn't fascist enough.

Like, yeah, it's great that they're fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren't complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?

I think it's interesting is that so many autocracies keep up the pretense of democratic and rules-based governance; even North Korea has elections. Same with political trials like you see in so many authoritarian regimes, from modern Russia or China to Nazi Germany – it's like autocrats need to be able to pretend to themselves that the system they run is fair and just, and that they're not just tyrants who govern with impunity and enforce rules arbitrarily.

What I don't get is why? Why bother when it's immediately obvious to everyone that it's all a sham? Why not drop the pretense, which everybody knows is just a pretense?

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I'm very much a leftist and this is just something I haven't managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

We've known about the dangers of overusing antibiotics for decades now, and it's become obvious that this is yet another case where we won't do near enough to combat a problem until it's already much too late and practically disastrous

the former president's campaign has disavowed the project and recently went so far as to say its "demise would be greatly welcomed," while Trump urged his supporters to boo it at a campaign rally.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe for a fucking second that this is anything but optics. It's not like conservatives have to explicitly say they're following the playbook, but they obviously already are – many Republican lawmakers are members of the conservative organizations that wrote the fucking thing (see eg. this bit of news from TN)

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it's now owned by Orbánists

Trump's abortion stance suddenly falling in line with Project 2025 is certainly a shocking and unexpected turn, considering how adamant he's been that he's never even heard of it and Republicans are saying how it's all a "liberal" delusion anyhow.

(And yes that was sarcasm.)

No danger of that happening with a conservative, no brains in the first place

Conservative "influencers", folks: a human trafficer who believes female orgasms are a woke lie interviewed by a guy who sniffs his guests' chairs.

They're sending their best.

Meaning that he knows he's sharing bullshit

Makes sense that it's not a Tesla.

On the other hand… do you want them getting out there to infect the rest of the galaxy?

Who said anything about giving them supplies?

I'm sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

You sure he's getting hoodwinked and not sharing shit he knows is fake on purpose?

Fuckin yikes
