cmbabul,

I keep thinking there’s no way the top brass of the GOP and the DNC will be around next time, and we’ll really be able to fix shit then. I’m always wrong, but Joe, Mitch, and Trump all see to be showing their age more than usual for my lifetime(I was too young to remember Reagan’s Alzheimer’s), Nancy might still be around but she seems to be at least kinda taking a step back.

cmbabul,

I’m not giving them this W, Bin Laden is the most influential single actor here, there were many more who laid the ground work(the John Birch society, the federalist society, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Luther Pierce, Roger Stone, Murdoch, Limbaugh, and the Koch’s come to mind) but 9/11 was the poison pill that broke the country

cmbabul,

Can we please just make Congress into pro wrestling, it’s not like it’s not already some carny bullshit and we’ll make sure Vince stays away from it

cmbabul,

He needs to be hanged for his crimes

cmbabul,

Im actually gonna double down cause in this sort of instance i disagree, Trump needs the Mussolini treatment because that’s who he really is

cmbabul,

Oh for sure, not in the ‘hang mike pence’ way, but in my view he’s committed acts judicially worthy of hanging.

cmbabul,

Hanging means his death shit will be in full view, which will affect his followers final view of him. Otherwise I agree with you for say, if Kissinger ever saw justice

cmbabul,

Hate and cruelty age your face, I don’t have research to prove that beyond looking at Kissinger vs Mr Rogers at the end of their lives.

cmbabul,

I’m not particularly hopeful about that

cmbabul,

Financiers and nutmeg? Wait that’s the same too

    cmbabul,

    No what you are doing is being a poor comrade to your fellow worker, you’re out here posting in explicitly anarchist and socialist communities and you are getting pissy about other people being exploited? Tipping culture is absolutely shitty but if you go out to eat and don’t tip you’re just enabling the exploitation of restaurant staff. If you don’t want to tip at a restaurant don’t eat out, it’s that simple.

    I can agree with you in retail or fast food establishments, because that was newly introduced and not how those workers have historically earned their pay, but if you go to a table service restaurant then not tipping is directly hurting other workers like yourself.

    cmbabul,

    Thank you for succinctly summing up this whole argument, tipping sucks but in industries like hospitality in the United States if you take the service and don’t tip you are in fact hurting people because of your selfishness. Restaurant owners and groups do not give a single fuck if you eat there and don’t tip, they will find replacements for those who leave. Most servers are working two or more jobs to make ends meet unless they work in really nice restaurants with bougie regulars.

    If you want to boycott the culture stop eating out, otherwise you’re just a cheap asshole that thinks they are better than restaurant staff

    cmbabul,

    And you’re comrades want to eat, fuck off

    cmbabul,

    Yeah stop eating out all together if your principles are so strong

    cmbabul,

    Not how it sounds from your defenses, maybe vent in a less public way next time, you’re not helping your case here. Everyone gets that tipping sucks, especially the people that depend on it, you aren’t breaking any new ground.

    And as a former server and bartender you can absolutely get fucked either way

    cmbabul,

    Such a great ally you are

    Edit: I’m blocking your ass because you are the pinnacle of fake ass leftism, you talk a big game but you don’t actually give a fuck about others in any meaningful capacity. You’re a joke

    cmbabul,

    This is perfect, you are killing it right now

    cmbabul,

    I didn’t even think about this, for trans men this button is a Time Machine

    cmbabul,

    It would at least make the last half more interesting because there’d be more learning, unless the button takes away ADHD the dopamine alone makes it worth pressing

    Also madden, fifa, ncaa and all the sports games

    cmbabul,

    This might be one of the few things he can’t trick his cult into walking away from, they booed him over it in the past, the only other thing I think would turn them off of him is if he straight up said “Fuck Jesus” or “God is a superstition” in a rally speech to them.

    cmbabul,

    I feel like this is like the natural world, no he didn’t deserve it, but the toys were also just defending themselves

    cmbabul,

    Assault on the control room is my personal favorite level to play, but Silent Cartographer is about as perfect a Halo level as you could ask for

    cmbabul,

    Elon could look good if he wanted, but he A) probably thinks he looks amazing because of the narcissism and B) stopped doing so much ketamine

    cmbabul,

    I think it’s more that old republican men don’t like the internet, just going off my dad and his age group at the church I grew up in they all think it’s a waste of time or a communist plot. For reference these men are in their late 60s

    cmbabul,

    You ain’t wrong, but these same guys still pay their bills with checks in the mail so I don’t think I’m gonna give them much credit on that point

    cmbabul,

    That would be a really smart move by Larian, effectively creates an infinite market for the game. Say what you will about Skyrim and Bethesda but that game still shits money

    cmbabul,

    Damn it! Guys our covers blown!

    cmbabul,

    That the DNC didn’t have this idea 20 years ago is a tragedy

    cmbabul,

    These people are scared of fucking Seattle and Portland, they’ll fafo real quick if they try to roll into Atlanta, Memphis, or Chicago thinking they’ll be the most well armed

    cmbabul,

    I’d also be pretty confident that he put a lot of eggs in that basket because his tactics worked in 2016 and he figured it was a proven success

    cmbabul,

    Someone use an AI to combine this and the gif of Obama kicking the door in

    Netanyahu and Putin are both waiting for Trump (www.washingtonpost.com)

    Netanyahu reportedly met this month with three foreign policy envoys working with former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump — who could yet win the election despite being convicted Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York state hush money case....

    cmbabul,

    Anarchists too!

    cmbabul,

    Bibi would for sure be elated for Trump presidency 2 because he’d get not only zero pushback but probably a sharp escalation in military aid, but I don’t think he’s waiting for shit. Vladi probably needs Trump to destroy NATO from within and then start pushing further into Eastern Europe.

    That’s not necessarily true for Bibi, and to be clear I’m not doing a ‘genocide joe’ thing, but if something wild happens like Trump stroking out before the election I think he’ll actually try to finish his war crimes before the election is over.

    cmbabul,

    That’s more or less what I was trying to get across

    The Targeting of Infrastructure by America’s Violent Far-Right (ctc.westpoint.edu)

    The U.S. government has taken notice of far-right extremists’ renewed interest in targeting critical infrastructure, releasing numerous bulletins and warnings to educate the public and communicate transparently about the nature of the threat. According to CNN reporting, in late April 2023, a Department of Homeland Security...

    cmbabul,

    More people need to know the history of William Luther Pierce and his predecessor George Lincoln Rockwell

    cmbabul,

    These motherfuckers reality is built upon the idea that belief is something more than an opinion, belief is a powerful force that can bend god’s power to their will, there’s a verse in the Bible somewhere I don’t give enough of a shit to look up the exact location of that says something akin to “if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can move mountains”. The cornerstone of most of these people’s lives is that belief in the divinity of an entity that might have existed 2000 years ago in the Middle East has the power to bend the will of their omnipotent and self described jealous deity who demanded blood sacrifice into an all forgiving, compassionate, and wise creator of all things. They live in a dangerous fantasy

    cmbabul,

    Straight up, there isn’t anything anyone could be opposed to or for at this juncture in time that would actually surprise me. Social media, advertising, and grifts have broken our consensus reality and we desperately need that context to to function as a society

    cmbabul,

    I don’t think Bungie was making an assessment of the Chinese or anyone else with this detail, but in the Halo series the leader race of the alien religious collective called The Covenant initially achieved their power by reverse engineering and then utilizing the technology of an ancient galaxy conquering civilization. The human species, which based on the time period likely is very analogous to the US military, found that to be a big weakness because once they acquired some of the tech they were able to use it to improve on their own tools and weapons, but the Covenant never did because the ancient aliens were viewed as gods by them.

    Not sure if i had a point but I thought it was a fun connection

    cmbabul,

    I do agree that social media is a huge driver of our societal problems and not fixing them, but I think you have the order reversed, social media is extremely effective at transmitting short, easy answers to our problems because that’s what people gravitate to on the whole. Especially extremely scared and desperate people, and young people especially see a lot of reasons to be afraid about what the future is going to look like.

    We haven’t even really gotten to ecoFascism yet, but I think it’s inevitable to rise as things continue marching forward without dramatic societal changes

    cmbabul,

    Dicks out! Show some goddamn respect

    cmbabul,

    They’re insane if the think I wouldn’t crawl over 5 miles of glass covered in diarrhea to vote against christofascism, and the only way to vote against christofascism is by voting for the side with the best chance to claim its victory, and much to my chagrin that’s Biden, it’s a really simple calculus

    cmbabul,

    It’s always one of the folks from one of the newer instances/communities I see making these arguments, usually it’s sh.itjust.works or kbin but I saw quite a few from .today this weekend. Seems like the older instances that were either up or started because of the migration from reddit are less filled with trolls and bad faith in my experience

    cmbabul,

    I honest to god think that’s an insult to Mos Eisley spaceport

    cmbabul,

    I don’t want to believe this but given the way things keep developing in this saga I bet it fucking works

    cmbabul,

    Especially the really short and manageable episode on Jordan Balthazar Peterson!

    cmbabul,

    Robert Evans is my pick but Cody is a close second

    cmbabul,

    Best possible way that could end, Noem could put her down since she’d clearly be rabid
