The Fu¢k luigi mangione reddit sub is not satire, it is gross corpo bootlicking on full display

Reply in thread

I could see the conservatism a mile away. There is a new version of conservative that Luigi fits in. Generally open on the big liberal values like queer rights, racial equality and abortion right, but mostly conservative minded mixed with an anarchistic literature influence. Ppl should study it and learn it vs the current ‘lump them into maga’ tendency that makes this group hard to spot.

Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens

Reply in thread

It’s war, very obviously it’s hard to control by nature. It’s hard to hold water because of its nature. I love your British example because it proves my point. Americans have lots of war experience do they know what war time tools are outdated, like tanks. It’s not just money that makes the US a military leader but experience. The more experience, the more accurate the war games are or are not. Gamblers get better with experience. Gamblers call it ‘beginners luck’ because those without experience are rarely the best.

Trump is living in a Russian-made 'disinformation space,' says Ukraine's Zelenskyy

Reply in thread

I know you don’t genuinely want to know why conservatives are seen as fiscally conservative (it’s in the name), but I’ll explain. Republicans and conservatives are different things kind of like leftist and liberals are different things. Conservatives are seen as financially conservative they want to encourage family wealth, they want rely on family instead of the gov(can’t afford to lose the family fortune), and they tend towards ‘traditional’ (conservative) jobs/industries like oil and banking (instead of crypto and self driving/EVs, that are more risky for layoffs, closures, crashes and overwork). Republicans are seen as fiscally conservative because they want a smaller government and a smaller government doesn’t need to be funded so much so the taxes don’t need to be raised. The national debt is this black hole of doom that I thought we had all agreed we would just tolerate until the world exploded and I’m personally stunned to see any president try to reduce the national deficit.

Basically anyone who is a fed could have seen from 3 decades away that the gov wants AI for weapons. While Open AI is involved as a government contractor (which introduces new regulations), the Feds have been poaching ‘ML/AI pros from places like Google and meta for the past 5 years. There are a shocking number of ‘super computer’ engineers working at the labs. I disagree that National security is divided among parties. It’s called ‘the mission’ because it’s a big ominous thing beyond laws. I love working with the DOE/DoD because you aren’t allowed to talk about politics at work. Can be fired for it. That’s great! Keeps things way less political.

Mexico's president says her government requested US surveillance drone flights - ABC News

You think it’s bad if the cartels are weakened? Considering lots of people in Colorado still talk about how they live in old Mexico, I think Americans would welcome it. Especially if only border state residents made the choice. The politics in immigration of border state residents (that being only Southern California) are RADICALLY different than those who aren’t near the border. I don’t think people in New Jersey have enough perspective or in person experience to have a leading opinion on the border.

Well, Zelenskyy does fit the definition of a dictator in that he cannot be replaced in office. Does that make him one? Not really, it’s a weird war time law. But no one else but him is allowed to fix the problem for Ukraine. Russia has funded both political parties in America because the goal is to destabilize America. They did a great job at it! If Russia had the choice between pushing America into its own self destruction vs exploiting the relationship for a benefit, Russia will choose option 2 because it’s cheaper, easier with less complications. Sorry, I do not believe that Putin is the secret president of America. That sounds irrational and I can’t find a single fact online to support the claim. The world can see that Biden had political ties Ukraine and Trump with Russia. That’s what politicians do; pick sides, build fleeting relationships, and manipulate storylines to win.
