I'm so pleased to have brightened your day.

Yeah titanic like the ship

This meme is mfw this meme because I saw it as the message of Russian propaganda last week

so happy for liberals on the internet to finally have their own thought terminating cliche in "tankies", the jealousy for "woke" must have been overwhelming

insomuch as USAID was a tool for exerting soft power by lifting up global communities and spreading goodwill for America through humanitarian effort, I support what it was, I didn't want to see it gutted. insomuch as China is exerting soft power by building infrastructure and investing in industry, it'd be nice to see the US exert a little soft power against us citizens from time to time.

In practice they have been pretty hands off as they develop the global south afaik.

They're also only doing it for its resources, I think you could realistically assume, but it can't be denied that their approach has brought much better results than America's so far.

It's weird that nobody even considers systemic change as a possibility anymore

I mean obviously we'll need to hold another election before we can get somebody else in there and even see an opportunity, but if actual accountability were implemented that targets this, if citizens united would stop leaking billionaire influence into our groundwater, you COULD restore faith in America.

I guess the issue is, how possible is any kind of anti-oligarchism policy, when they hold the whole government? And once, IF, we get the chance, is there anyone with the competency to get it implemented? Or will we blow it like we have every time since the reconstruction?

What I hope happens is we oust him and do some serious work on our systems that prevents stuff like this.

Though the track record of our leaders is pretty depressing, maybe they're starting to wake up now that we get to see Endgame Capitalism

All he has succeeded in doing is violently ripping the US away from its place at the center of the global hegemony.

Which is not great for those of us in the US, but honestly had to happen, the rest of the world clearly cannot depend on us. Our entire political system is built on honor systems and pinky promises, the rich can do whatever they please and never see accountability.

Right wingers consistently shoot and ram cars into peaceful protestors: I sleep

Random individuals destroy private property of random individuals: REAL SHIT

THIS is terrorism.

AI pay pie 🤔

My guess is they meant harassment BY 10-17 year olds, it's well known that the youngest living league player is 26 years old
