The bullet pierced my ear, but I can still hear the voice of the party

Nah, the former is just ghoulish. The latter represents both hope and divine retribution

Seeing drone footage from Ukraine war: “Ugh, I don’t want to see this snuff shit. What a senseless tragedy”
Seeing Hezbollah drone footage: “Yes… Yes! DIE! DIE MOTHERFUCKER!!!”

If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life

Death to england

Yes. I had a vibratory roller compacting the lot beside my old office a while back and there were very low frequency vibrations that made me feel like dogshit. Earplugs didn’t help. I am therefore a believer

actually it’s inauduble and therefore can’t hurt you, like how gamma rays are invisible and therefore harmless

It’s definitely a good idea to associate gay rights with imperialism, certainly can’t backfire in any way. Gay rights sink refugee boats before they can cross the Mediterranean. Gay rights bomb America’s enemies into submission and render them failed states with slave markets. Gay rights are the boot on the neck of the third world.

My point here is that whoever made this should be hanged.

e: or to put it a different way “let’s bring the gays down with us!”

you won’t care

Fuck if I know, but seems to me that intelligence is more than just reacting to stimulus. The problem is we’ve broken the Turing test. We’ve made a computer that can sound sentient, but clearly isn’t.

Let me put it this way: if I were the president of the United States I would increase foreign aid rather than gutting it, and the aid would primarily be for development so that in the future, they would not be reliant on foreign aid. This was not the purpose of USAID, all the good that it did was just a byproduct of keeping the developing world as dependent resource extraction colonies.

Allow me a metaphor. If you give a man a fish, he’ll be fed for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he’ll be full for his whole life. Obviously the just thing would be to give him enough fish to eat until he’s learned to fish, and then teach him to fish. USAID was more like giving the man a bare-minimum amount of fish to keep him from dying, but the fish is dosed with little bit of fentanyl to keep him dependent and compliant while you steal his stuff.

USAID was a trojan horse. The supposedly benevolent acts were always a cover for undermining governments the US is hostile to. USAID had a literacy program in Afghanistan in the 80s that promoted violent jihad, in order to undermine the Soviets and the Soviet-aligned government. They used an HIV prevention workshop in Cuba to organize anti-communist dissidents.

The fact that the USAID cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people is testament to the amount of dependence the US had nurtured. They prop up right wing kleptocratic governments that do nothing for the people, which keeps wages low and resources cheap, and made up some of the shortfall with aid since people who are dead of starvation or disease can’t extract resources. This was a trap.

The current crop of right wingers are too stupid to understand this and thought it was just woke liberals giving stuff away for free to be woke. Out of what they thought was merely an act of selfish cruelty (what they refer to as “based”), they are actually undermining the American empire. The proximate effect of this is in the literal sense mass murder (and if you combine this with the fact that they nurtured dependence on aid and then abruptly cut it off, could be argued to be genocide) and it should be punished accordingly. The ultimate effect, however, will be the liberation of the third world.

JDPON Don has done it again

I hope the farmer was reimbursed. In any case, the rice ruined probably could have kept a starving person alive for another day

I already said I don’t think they are. You do realize that the burden of proof lies on the person making a claim, right?

I’ve humored you long enough. If you don’t support Iran’s war against imperial aggression, it is you who is the fascist.

In short, yup. I have nothing to add

No problem, not everyone is born with the reading comprehension gene.

“Now” still involves the ruthless exploitation of the global south by western capital

It’s not like he did it, or has any effect on it. Trump and Musk gutted USAID because they though foreign aid was woke, either not realizing that it was a key pillar of US soft power, or also thinking that soft power is woke. In the short term this will kill a lot of people, but in the long term, USAID, being a means by which the US kept control over the global south, caused more harm than good.

i heard radar warning receivers reading this. Time to pop flares and evade

a fake nobel prize for a fake science. Appropriate, no? Nordhaus also said in 1991 that global warming wouldn’t affect the economy much since 90% of economic activity takes places indoors.
