Ah yes, economic anxiety. That's why racism and misogyny.

I'm glad the prosecutor in charge of prosecuting treason and a coup decided to spend his time and political capital solving a cool procedural puzzle. I'm sure nobody will be smart enough to see he took a legitimate question and acted disproportionately.

I think he relished having his hands tied so they wouldn't have to get dirty. Because getting your hands dirty means silver shirts will threaten or harm your family.

I'd recommend assassination, in Minecraft. If you're leaving the server and everything is fucked then do one for the team and cause some heads to roll, in Minecraft. The right used violence and it led to the presidency. A coup was rewarded. Let's take some notes.

Sorry I prefer a more syndicalist political lifestyle where we are the government. "The people should not be afraid of the people, the people should be afraid of the people." breaks my brain.

Epstein appears trustworthy on this, for I agree with what he is saying.

If he were saying something I disagree with, I would point out that he's very untrustworthy.

Look at the sports with systemic ad presence vs sports where it's all "grass roots." (The grass roots ones are mostly gone.)

Most top sports are incredibly expensive to keep running and the ones that become infested with ads are the ones that stick around for us to enjoy. If you follow less popular sports you'll consider yourself lucky to bring in ads and sponsors.

Just curious, has everyone caught up yet? As in, have we realized and internalized that religious people don't believe in god or heaven or anything like that?

Because just look at at-risk individuals and think about how certain contexts can shape numerous people.

Look at trauma and how it affects the psyche.

Look at how humans living in extraordinary environments radically change their behavior.

And then notice how you can't detect any "god" or "afterlife" in a Christians psyche, or their behavior, or their flock. Just people acting similarly to everyone else, except we don't pretend to have "the answer to life is god" and "being bad means burning in hell for infinity." It's so god damn obvious but to be fair it took around 30 years for me to "grok" that Christians are operating entirely on aesthetics.

Yes but government is ultimately good and does much good. Our politicians are mostly good (there's 500,000+) because it's people like us standing up to work policy. The idea that our government is innately bad and that it's just bad people doing bad things is so tiring.

Hey, I stayed at one of their homeless shelters. You should donate just for that. Where else will you get rotten food? Whose going to talk shit about you? Whose going to throw your fragile possessions during check in and treat what little you have as a toy?

Don't you want people to have bloodstained linens to sleep on? How else are people going to stand in 110F heat for fucking hours while the idiot Berber Christians have their meetings?

I really appreciated how little time I spent there, how little I interacted with others, how little I asked, but I was always met with annoyance and contempt when I did ask for something. Like please may I have a pillow case not covered in blood? I know it's a lot to ask!

They always walked away knowing they were good christians so good luck speaking up. The shelter ran by ex prisoners was much less degrading.

He says there's no antisemitism in his close circles, as if that matters, but it's also a lie because he himself backed a "Jews are trying to replace whites" post on Twitter.

Also, he said he was Jewish by association because he has a lot of Jewish friends. Different brand of ridiculousness from what the headline implies.

The article draws most of its facts from a tiktok video of a person saying they found X, discovered Y, heard Z from Facebook.

The link that says "businesses team up with bots" links to a tiktok video.

They reinforce the idea that people figured this out because people said it was happening in India, on Facebook.

I wonder if there's any smoking guns?
