Month Thirteen: Oil Barons | Dad, How Did You Meet Mom? | Barack Hussein Obama

Oh we lost the cold war, we didn't realize it was still going on.

China hasn't had to do anything directly to America for years for Americans to turn on the failing American government and be supportive of China. BTW America has lost the youth, if you weren't aware the under 30 crowd wants this place to fall and have become incredibly disillusioned by viability of ever realizing the American dream and also that the American dream was a scam.

Argument used to be that China was bad cuz government was spying on you and restricting you and vanishing you for dissent...now US is like "lol me too"

You really are an insufferable cunt you know that?

Trying to draw a direct parallel between the overall Chinese normie population and the US normie population is dumb. Entirely different cultures and values. Same could be said of many other countries and their cultures.

The public reaction to any arbitrary law in China can't reliably be expected to be the same or even close to the same law in the US and Americans reactions to it.

Okay but there's laws in place that say they can't do this. That'll surely stop them, won't it?

Gosh you guys are such insufferable cunts like c'mon

[Mertron]

speculation today that alito is going to announce his retirement soon. he has a book coming out that just had its release date published as october 6. the start of the new supreme court session is october 5.

the theory to go along with this is they don’t want to chance not being able to get someone even more far right in there if democrats can somehow flip the senate this year

[Anoat]

It would be funny if Trump cheated and the GOP still lost, much like I used to do while playing high school golf

stop being such an insufferable cunt omg

ehhh, this one doesn't scare me yet. I got worked up over Greenland and look how that turned out - this one feels the same, a bridge too far. but I'm not saying it won't happen, just that I'm not getting worked up over it... yet

keep in mind that, even for him, some of the pushes he makes meet with too much resistance and he has to back down. be cautious, but don't panic

[Sirious]

That's 100% going to happen.

These voting machines are rigged. We're taking them.

And military "guarding" voting stations. too.

[kuronosan]

Seriously, this has that "this ship can't sink" energy and I love it.

This amazing human fallacy that because something is designed to withstand adversity means it's incapable of being broken by a force it never anticipated hitting at just the right angle at just the right moment.

Do I think this will all happen beans? Dunno. I sure as hell hope not. But do you know on a psychological level why it could?

Because of the above fallacy. The assumption that since it's only a possibility means being vigilant is akin to stirring up shit.

A meteor could hit the planet any minute, but there's a reason Don't Look Up is so absurdly relevant.

Never ever ever underestimate the power of stupidity when it has equally stupid gullible followers.

I mean if asserting that as a certainty works for you, go nuts. it's not my brain you're working with

what part of "be cautious, but don't panic" confused you?

I did not say that. you read into it. what exactly do you think "be cautious" means?

[Zealot]

I think the tepidness of the word "caution" is failing to capture the moment.

There's no point being cautious. There's nothing you can do about it either way. It's just going to happen, no matter how you feel about it.

I went to multiple talks at Defcon in relation to 2020 elections, how after 2020 Trump was having his goons show up and just take voting equipment and no one was really seeming to care or push back on that. They could easily reverse engineer this shit, you have Musk just dumping the data of EVERYONE through DODGE and we still don't know what was taken or how it's being used and no one is looking into that either.

If you for a second think they aren't tampering with this shit, either themselves or because they are fucking stupid giving the info they have off to more competent people, then got your head in the sand lol.

I didn't say they aren't. I said it isn't a certainty that they will accomplish this. They absolutely will try. Maybe my original statement wasn't clear enough - what I'm saying is we don't know for sure what the future holds, but we do know they will try some bullshit. Be cautious, be vigilant, but dread and panic are not going to help anyone unless they spur you to some action that changes the outcome for you in some way. Take it from someone whose brain is constantly in hyper-vigilance mode. It's ok to feel those things, but don't let them win

[Tymon]

No one in here is panicking. What’s that even look like anyway? Liquidate and try to move out of the country?

Shhh. Don't be insufferable. To them, any amount of skepticism and concern is panic or doom and gloom.

Heads up Yuri, I'm not panicking. It is my job to know people and it's infuriating any time anyone dismisses Trump's bullshit as "hey legally he can't" when he has been without any stops.

It's not doomsaying to draw parallels to how things escalated in Nazi Germany and to say we should be vigilant. At no point did I say panic but if your threshold for panic is people are hugely concerned about the level of political damage this shit fuck is doing then I'm afraid the idiot is not me - it's you.

People don't work that way. In America there is absolutely hope people will get fed the fuck up and turn out in record numbers. The rest of the world may disengage entirely because of their not wanting to chance someone like Trump ever being around again to damage any amount of integrity that's left in our alliances.

If I had full faith that everything is fine, I wouldn't be pointing out the insane hubris taking place during the 2016 and 2024 elections.

I stare at people dying every day. I actually saw a patient today who is essentially going to die a very painful shitty death.

I'm not panicking. I'm concerned. It's fucking simple dude.
