They haven’t been on russias payroll for years.

They genuinely believe the shit they swill. By and large the paid agents were 5 to 10 years ago.

The current state American society has been in for the last 10 to 15 years is heavily a consequence of Russian info ops. Many countries run info ops. But no country has done as much damage as Russia

If I hear anyone ranting about family/traditional values Im just going to cut to the chase and assume you consume Russian origin propaganda by the barrel-load. Nobody pushes that stuff harder than them. No one stands to gain from the chaos it creates in the west, more than them.

Its not a post truth world. Its just a couple of post truth countries.

And when It comes to lies and bullshit. The fire hose of falsehood leads back to Moscow

Tankies call themselves leftists but they’re more often than not, unknowingly Right Wing pawns because they marry their ideology to the policies of the Soviet Union and Communist China, and somehow forgot or never realized that present day Russia and China are not socialist countries, but oligarchic, kleptocratic right wing autocracies. and they will to this day, parrot Russian and Chinese Propaganda

Yeah im gonna be blunt here, People who are seen as important, die all over the world every day, and Im having trouble drawing a line to why Charlie Kirk has fuck all to do with anything in any country in Europe.

you know, two countries that might have a reason to be upset for losing someone who WAS important to them, would be Russia and Belarus

Broadly bombing enemies all over the world makes them more akin to America at its worst, which is its own problem.

Russia is far more old school in its methods and goals, their goals and behaivor is that out of the 16th thru 18th century. Naked land grabs.

Israel isnt about territory and empire builiding outside of its immediate periphery, its just about aggressively neutralizing everything that they even remotely think will be a threat to them now or in 30 years.

Similar in execution. Much smaller in scale of areas theyre targeting for expansion

It might have been reversed recentley, but very recentley Domestic abuse was basically allowed in Russia, Police rarely responded to calls from women saying their partners were beating the hell out of them, some ended up dead.

and the law that allowed it, was pushed by a “traditional values” Woman lawmaker.

America is Just going to become Russia that speaks English.

While it has its own disgusting traits that are unique to itself, Russia under the Yednaya Rossiya Party / Putin Mafia is by far the closest contemporary thing to Nazi Germany today.

I had a feeling that was why the NOTAMs were issued. I suspected they were going to finally shoot shit down.

The US/Israeli partnership is in many ways, a Mirror of Russia.

do we just call these an american equivalent of Kadyrovites?

NATO and Russia have been in a state of war for a long time now. it could have been as early as 2014, but defintley since 2022.

the difference is the war isn’t directley Kinetic, but we’re getting there, this is a small step up the escalatory ladder. We aren’t quite at the level Turkey was though, shooting down VKS jets and Killing Pilots

Im also here because of a reddit perma.

at first I was sad because I wasnt able to participate in niche communities that are important to me, but after a while I found other ways of talking to people about those things,

“Just goes to show, things are always great right up until the point the “cool kids” get in on it and make it popular.”

thats how I feel about the internet in general, 90s, 00s, early 2010s the world wasnt terminally online, just the nerdy and geeky people were. But now that everyone is online, the reality is that most people are too untrustworthy or too stupid to be trusted with the internet because well, you see everything that happened.

the internet is so shitty I retreated to a couple of kind of oldschool “forums” and primarily exist on there now.

yeah the content is scattered and I might not find very many people with some specific interest, but I know they are real people and we’re not getting swarmed by bots, ads, and glowies

Trump is an old dying man, and he wants to be able to say on his death bed that he made permanent changes to the world , by his will alone.

Changing names of organizations (DOD/DOW)

Changing names of places (Gulf of America)

Creation of organizations (Space Force)

Dissolution of organizations (USAID)

Permanent land acquisitions (Greenland, Panama Canal, Sometimes entire Nation of Canada)

This is the exact same mentality of Putin, Putin wont be around forever, Putin wants to be immortalized in Russian folklore.

This is just Trump’s dumb ideas of immortality. fingers of it at least

I was an intel guy most of my life, Intel on all the hand-me-downs I got from my grandfather’s appliance store, Intel on my first gaming PC in 2008 til 2012, Intel on the 2012-2019 PC, it wasn’t until I built my current PC in 2019 that I Switched because of the Meltdown / Spectre / Etc issues, largely just out of reputation not actually understanding them.

Sufficed to say, I left in 2019 and have had no reason to return.

Schrodinger’s Pedo. he could have committed the crimes, he could be innocent.

neither outcome is going to threaten his power. thats the problem, the Files could come out tonight, doctored, or legit, and regardless of what happens, he’ll still be the President tommorow, and GOP Congress will never impeach him.

America is a corporate captured state, and its only captured more and more since Citizens United.

and you think they’re going to suddenly turn around and stop using you as indentured servants?

do you forget what the Republicans think of Europeans? they’re libruhl socialist cucks, remember?!

That’s a really sharp observation…
You’re not alone in thinking this… No, youre not imagining things…

“This is what gpt will say anytime you say anything thats remotely controversial to anyone”

And then it will turn around and vehemently argue against facts of real events that happened recentley . Like its perpetually 6 months behind. It still thought that Biden was president and Assad was still in power in syria the other day
