US overseas interests are in deep trouble. Young people don't want to go get killed for oil and they don't respect those that do. Some of them have seemingly even shaken that Democrat's preference for getting rolled over. Those two men have turned the whole machine into a joke run by hostile workers

If you have bodyguards, you don't want your death to have a lot of checks in the pros column for them. Whoopsie, but everything's so fucked and corrupt and owned by the hawks that it's fine, have a desk promotion.

The secret service is nothing if not pragmatic. They know perfect security is a myth, especially after US capital briefly lost control of the youth information environment. I imagine losing a guy isn't a reprimand if you followed procedure, and guess who's getting more money next year.

What kind of bitch ass 2024 carpenter is going to take a rich person's money and build them something good with it? Easy come, easy go, y'all got rich underpaying for something's worth.

Fed targets this thing they made up called NAIRU, which is basically an excuse to immiserate the workforce. About 4% unemployed, struggling to pay their rent (if able), forget the doctor, fun, kids, anything really other than work and bills. Also 4% unemployed is a lie.

American rentier capitalism is worse than feudalism. We have a hereditary aristocracy whom we must ultimately please in some way, or they'll cast us to the ditches and the shunned places. Some% guaranteed. You not only have a master, you have two of the fuckers, and you have to interview to get them

Every wised up lineman or engineer or anybody else who's had to pay rent is going to prioritize their own family's comfort and safety over their boss, in every little decision they make. Nobody has to sabotage shit, workers following natural incentives will direct the rot to the rich parts of town.

If half our budget is military, that means half your work effort ultimately goes to supporting the horrendous shit our military does, in some way. People aren't lazy; they don't want to sacrifice their time (i.e. lives) to that

It's too bad he missed. We could have probably still dumped Biden, too. Would have gotten some fucking Romney but most of us wish they'd write these fucking characters out.

Center mass basically by definition is going to be the slowest moving part of a person, as well. Seems like Trump whipped his head as he is wont to do and dodged a literal bullet.

In the basic training at least. Really you should be visualizing through the actual tissue you want to rupture into something critical. In this case, candidates reportedly wear thin armor at these appearances - mitigating factor - but the man did have a rifle, and seems a side shot, through shoulder

Also, yesterday is why groups that kill people teach their members to aim for center mass, literally smack dab in the middle of the biggest part. You're not aiming for the target, your eye is locked on that needle point. Not saying he didn't, real conditions are harder than sim, but 8 inches lower..

If your interests are not materially aligned, you will not be aligned. Appeals to common empathy are useless if you don't include some appeal to common material interest. There's no way we're better off with Elon in charge of all those resources.

What the left is really lacking is vindictiveness. If you'd see my grandmother die of preventable and treatable illness, I'd see your grandchildren pay. They'd fuck with us a lot less if this was the general idea.

Many supposed leftists strongly retain the liberal habit of refusing to learn from enemies. Conflating means with intents.

submitted 344 days ago • 0 comments

I suppose what I'm getting at is so many supposedly liberatory fights are actually counter to the ultimate liberatory fight. If the concern doesn't extend to the most materially oppressed, then you're in a splinter group which serves to divide, also ensuring the obsolescence of the movement itself.

Rich people barely care about your values and judgement. Write the signs and yell the slogans, it can have impact, but have you tried buying geofenced ads telling your rich enemys' neighbors that they donated to antifa?

Libs love triggering conservatives and I get it, it's fun, playing Marilyn Manson at them getting their ponytails all tied in a knot, but from what I've seen alienating Jan and Joe Walmart isn't good for their queer kid. The queer liberation movement is largely the rich queer liberation movement.

I knew several black trans women during my time on the street, and I suppose they're who I think about whenever I see somebody carrying on liberating in their name. I ask "would that help X who I knew" and the answer these days is usually "nah, that's a bougie op designed to inspire backlash."

And if you don't work your mouth around xim and faer, you pull a lazy "they", well, you're a bigot. I get why queer liberationist types fight about language, it is important, but this is what happens when that machine gets wound up and runs around all on its own for 40 years. We got real issues.

Regressive thought of the day: I don't like neopronouns. I think it's the wrong fight in the wrong language. I gotta add this big clunky side-declaring expansion to the core features I've been using 40 years to accommodate the four most dramatic people I know? Nah, reach into somebody else's brain.

Oh but you'll just replace the old government with new ignorant fascists. No stop with the replace. I was raised on deterrence theory, and I see a lot of behavior that could use some deterrence right now, it's really that simple. Rent increases are hard to implement from the hospital.

In a space like this where language is all there is, the symptom becomes the cause. I don't give a shit what you call your buddies on the gaming stream if you'll help me take the boss back into this alleyway

I get the core idea that we're all fundamentally deserving of respect, and some of us are owed a lot more than they get, and this should reflect in the language we choose. Language is a symptom and a vector, but it's easier to change behavior than belief, and post-hoc belief changes are the standard

Donald Trump famously loves McDonald's. Given unlimited money and the White House, with its bowling alley and giant bathtubs, it never occurred to the man to just have a McDonald's put in the place. Soggy fries? That's cool. He's a dumb garbage man here to shovel garbage food in his garbage mouth.

Chomsky raises this question of how can we be sure natural law is correct, and I think looking around the only thing we can be sure of is that something we know is almost certainly incorrect. In such a situation, when all rational choices lead to failure, the last rational choice is irrationality.

Take a 13 year old kid with a few followers on a gaming stream. I can come in with my word baton and emotion handcuffs and cite him for thought crimes betrayed by regressive speech, or I can tell him a story in relatable language that humanizes someone other. My approach- core difference- might work

Best approach to current left spaces and structures is "what are we doing wrong?" because if we were proceeding with a plan and intent to win, there would be certain small signs.
