I think we can fit in an exception. “good” billionaires don’t get executed and are sent to live on penal colonies in space under strict supervision with 10 hour work days and no vacation or sick-time. Rest are mulched.

Even then, Bill Gates ain’t a good billionaire. The amount of damage he has done doesn’t even compare to the money he gives away after death.

You know what they say folk, no excuses.

It pretty much was terminal, the cyclical recessions and economic collapses every 4-6 years was getting worse and worse each time as more and more wealth is transferred upwards. The tariffs were an easy way to bully “lesser” countries into more favorable “business-deals” while also funneling immense wealth from straight up market manipulation and insider-trading towards the top. Of course, with each wealth-transfer, it becomes more unsustainable, however that’s exactly the path America has been heading towards since the 70s-80s.

From this there is essentially going to be a new status-quo with interests shifted West towards China and at home instead of the european theater.

They got money for the war, but they can’t feed the poor.

kill the Chosen Few

kill nazis

Nordstream as an example for your latter point.

It makes me feel not insane enough to go full on crazy on these nazi fucks on my life. I appreciate you all, always.

On your boys typical outing I got into a specific argument about immigration with a member of the Chosen Few.

I didn’t know he was a member, because I specifically have a huge chunk of beef with someone in their little nazi fucking gang to the point where I wanna cave their head in with full legal ramifications.

Basically tonight ended up with me almost ending up in the slammer after getting into a fucking fight with this nazi scum fucking bag. Fucking hate chosen few. they’re all over this fucking town. They all deserve a bullet to the fucking head. I make sure I told him that when he threatened his little shitty gang on me.

I want to kill these nazi fucks. Is this adventurism? Are they going to actually act on their little threat for their little nazi biker gang? Should I start loading dragon shells and getting ready to immolate some 40-year old fucks?

I want to see them try. I want to see them try to step a single foot here. I will fucking kill them.

sorry, your message appeared in my inbox just now, thought you were someone I blocked or blocked me.

Not at all. As much as a comparison for a intelligence officer being the reason behind a worker’s state degeneration, right? You’re totally right. That’s what you want to hear, right?

Slavi ukraini and fuck putler, right?

You’re already done with me. I’m done with you. I’ve tried.

Exactly, thank you.

We can’t have a conversation because you ignore imperialism.

Except what I did put in caps-lock changes entirely the reason for the SMO which you keep ignoring. The results are meaningless. The reason behind it is.

Honestly my bad, I thought you were talking with someone I blocked or blocked me. Disregard what I said. They just appeared now in my logs because lemmy is fucked.

Yeah man the fringe officer of a dysfunctional intelligence apparatus largely degenerated like the rest of the worker’s state destroyed and looted the Soviet Union. Wasn’t the West, wasn’t American finance capital, wasn’t any of that. T’was Putin. Evil genius.

Fucks sake man.

Have you seen the sheer violence and devastation America will bring to the periphery when it dare revolts? Hell, not even revolting, simply just choosing a path that will slightly threaten the interests of private capital in those nations owned by America or even it’s allies that cling to previous colonial vestiges like a dying tick? I mean, Chile is a great example. Beyond that, America will install dictators and brutal leaders in nations like that or support them in Indonesia and the Philippines who will gladly purge political opponents or dissidents for them. Previously, in Russia when the USSR fell, America carved out the nation financially. Pepsi was buying Russian warships for debt.

I’m sure you know this, but remarking and looking back on the brutality of what the Empire has done, what would it do now if given the chance? Just for a single moment when it’s enemies let it’s guard down like Gaddafi?

The strategic advantage is preventing Ukraine from being used as a launching ground for an invasion, or “hotbed” for terrorists or threats to spawn and attack the nation backed by it’s major rival and leader of the imperialist hegemony that controls the world.

Yeah man, the dudes who couped Assad were just fringe paramilitaries. They didn’t have explicit backing of the imperialist hegemony, weapons, funding and intelligence support.

This didn’t happen in Ukraine whatsoever and were just some fringe paramilitaries that happened to take over suddenly despite having backing, funding, intelligence support and covert weapons support all the way back to the 60s where they then suddenly just took over a nation bordering a major rival of that hegemony. It just all happened out of nowhere, jumbles of images and such because I’m such a fucking moron.

Get real.

It was indeed and I respect you deeply for recognizing it. This other guy is trying to argue it was a “fringe paramilitary” lmfao. Yeah, the guys who couped Assad were just “fringe paramilitaries”.

The thing is, America is getting cold-feet with Asia becoming more and more of a threat to them. This is why we’ve seen the actions they take now.

“Planning does not equal doing. Trump’s notion of increased spending among NATO members was literally laughed at when he suggested it in his first term. The SMO changed the equation for Europe and made them willing to do it when they previously weren’t.”

Except countries were already beginning to act on it in forms of austerity and assigning funding to rearmament and militarization, which Ukraine already violated an accord to prevent that after they had been couped by fascist paramilitaries that had an intelligence support/presence and aid since the 60s as documented literally by the fucking C.I.A itself. Waiting for someone to pull the trigger while they have a gun on you is some pure lib-shit idealism. Of course they’re going to SMO to protect their nation. Are you insane? I literally don’t understand the core argument here where yes Putin is at fault for literally invading a nation that had a coup from an imperialist hegemony that had literally been planning and arming for an invasion supported by the leader of said hegemony’s intelligence agency? Like the fuck?

You’re also literally fucking wrong when you look at an actual chart of military spending. Shit goes all the way back to 2017-2018, lmfao. WAY before Ukraine was invaded and…after the coup LMAO.

“remember that Zelensky was initially elected on a platform of ending the Ukranian Civil War and making Azob stand down” platform does not mean a single fucking thing with imperialist intelligence agency pulling your strings. Now he’s waging an existential war to the last man and woman for the sake of NATO and will where America has already begun to lose faith after securing nearly half of their resources.

Also why the fuck are we downplaying the amount of Nazis in their military and government? What is this shit? They literally were waging a civil war and literal genocide against Russian-speakers in Eastern Ukraine and murdering trade unionists and communists WITH SUPPORT OF THE WESTERN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES FROM THE 60S BACK. That’s fringe to you? That’s a fringe-minority? What the fuck are you literally talking about?
