Atheist. Gay. Progressive. Happily with my man for 31 years. Ex catholic with a diminishing grudge. The world is going to pot for the benefit of a few. There are only a few thousand billionaires in the world and they own everything including you and me.

I think the real cult is the cult of billionaires. They follow the teaching of Ayn Rand and become Objectivists. The philosophy is multi layered but among their views is the belief in prioritising themselves above all others.

You mean to tell me there's a sign that will make racists and transphobes go a hundred miles away? Where can I buy one?

Why not just do the normal thing and have managers undertake staff reviews. This is just more food for the propaganda machine. It's meant to elicit fear and be another distractive talking point and is ultimately pointless.

I'd love a Chicken Biryani right now.

Imagine if, after 9/11, George W Bush had decided to have peace talks with Osama bin Laden. And had then blamed the US for starting it.
Putin is a terrorist, there'a an international warrant for his arrest. Trump is a Surrender Monkey.

He’s not a Putin apologist, he’s an enthusiastic and adoring fan.

Come to Australia. We are chilled. Democratically sound (more or less). Speak English (with a quirky accent). Plenty of beaches. No dramas. Everyone says G'day and are happy to be living in Paradise. Plus the weather is spot on.

I think I'm in a bubble; which I quite like. But I feel that all this messaging of Fuck Trump and Time to Wake Up on Blue sky is just preaching to the converted.

How though? The federal judiciary requires Marshall's under the control of the DOJ to enforce a contempt order. And whose checking on compliance? It seems as though it's up to the executive branch to police itself which is a fucking joke.

Such a shame. The USA, great stalwart of democracy, founded by great men with wonderful ideals, held strong for almost 250 years as a guiding light for a Just, progressive and enlightened world. And then Trump happened and it all went to shit.

Keep em drug addled, gaslighted, dumbed down and entertained and they will do whatever you ask of them.

It's more than one man. Trump doesn't even really count.

Depends on who you ask. If you were to ask me, I'd say the US foreign (and every other policy) is currently severely and woefully fucked.

Surely there must be a lot of Trump voters asking WTF when their vital services and even their jobs are being cut from under them. They just wanted to pay less for groceries. 😤

They will not leave their homeland peacefully. Are the Israelis really gearing up for an even greater bloodbath? They've killed over 60,000 Palestinians and wounded hundreds of thousands already.

Every day it's a new headline grabber. All designed to make us feel overwhelmed and distracted. But the damage is being done, the feelings of despair are real and global, and the loss of life to come - just from closing USAID - will be dramatic.

The Oligarchs of which Musk is top of the heap, are basically Objectivists. The fatal flaw with Ayn Rand's philosophy is that it underplays the benefit from social cohesion, from the arts and from the humanities more generally. Objectivism cuts off its nose despite its face.
