Jill Stein’s campaign manager: “Yeah, we are the bad guys, actually”

Remember, when the social democratic Part (SPD) and communist Party (KPD) of late Weimar republic Germany enabled the fascist government of Hitlers NSDAP in 1933. All because they were too focused on fighting each other, thinking that after Hitler, who is sure to fail, they will get greater voter turnout in their respective favor? Yeah, this here has the same vibes.

Spoiler: they did not get their turn or voter turnout because there was no longer a German democratic state (just to make sure us-americans not well-versed in international history understand)

Democrats defy their leaders by relentlessly disrupting and heckling Trump SOTU speech

"if they go low, we go high" only helps so much as if the public and the other side is concerned about their reputation. so democrat leadership telling fellow democrats to maintan the high ground is so much of an outdated concept in today's landscape that you could even call that unrealistic and spineless. One has to fight for their voices to be heard. It was the same in the weimar republic before nazi germany. Where the communist party KPD helped Adolf get elected as chancellor. Not so much surprising, shortly thereafter they were all imprisoned. Let the american democrats hear that lesson from history.

Probably the Formula came from one of those doge Kids, so more likely a Zoomer instead of a boomer.

And i think, they knew full Well, that their numbers were shit and based Off on nothing substantial at all. They Just wanted to hide IT behind some math Formular in Order to Trick the populace. Because its easier to Argument for "an expert approach" instead of "we just made Up some Numbers"

US pulls out of formal peace talks between Ukraine and Russia

And with the US-Ukraine Ressource Deal being singed too. So they bascically Held Ukraine at gunpoint Dekanding all their remaining Ressources while Russia raped them. The US is no longer trustworthy. They now sit Back, while Europe will have to steer the War Into a favorable direction, b/c they have to. If Russia eins or loses does Not Matter anymore for US, b/c they will benefit either way.

We are currently on track to reach +4.5°C average heat increase above pre-industrials levels in 2100. Which means famines all over the World, only 30% of current agricultural Land left for Farming, and wild fires being a common occurence up to the 50th latitude. And Not being able to Go outside in Summer for Most of the World, because our availability to sweat will be hindered by high humidity levels, leaving most people of the Population left for a high Chance to Heat strokes.

All of that assuming our current scientific Models are not lacking behind the reality, as with the recent sharp increase over +1,5°C in 2023-2024, we can not yet completely explain yet. So it could be worse than that, the chances of it being better are almost Zero.

If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore?

Ever heard of the everlasting sustainable war? https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Sustainable_War

If robots generate all of productivity and human labor is no longer needed, the economy would not be able to sustain itself. Instead, in trying to cope with the unneeded human labor and to ensure continued productivity, the only area where productivity would be ensured is by means of war using human resources, namely destroying things in order to be rebuild, thus generating a sustaining feedback loop. The rich will get richer and everyone else will only be employed as soldiers in a continuing war economy.

Even though this is a sci-fi concept, i believe it's not a stretch to say we are headed to this direction.
