You asked to be educated. Here is one of the foremost historians in the world with a free lecture series answering your exact question. Return back to this comment when you've watched a couple.

Shit. I forgot to randomly Capitalize words or even USE all caps to make them know that I was serious 😞😞

"I will be filing police reports against anyone who screenshots a screenshot of a screenshot with my publicly broadcasted stupid content in it. Check your underpants, MAGA. Checkmate!"

What happens if I take a screenshot of a repost of someone giving the bird to someone who is threatening to sue people for taking a screenshot?

I think that is the definition for the Internet triple-dog dare. Come get some 🇺🇸 MAGA Michelle S 🇺🇸!

And I get it: government contracts are how your company lives and breathes, but still... Seems like there has to be a better way than gleefully bowing down to the pedo emperor and his entourage of imbeciles.

Short answer: no.

Every single American defense company that I've seen has posts with their faces fully buried in the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth's, ass. It takes very little digging to figure out that these people are MAGA, and MAGA is just Nazi with more inbreeding and fewer chromosomes.

It should come as no surprise that I support Ukraine. This support is to the extent that I've been looking for jobs in the (US) defense sector. If our government won't support Ukraine, maybe private companies can help, right? (Sometimes I step back and think "I'm so naive it's almost cute.")

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

What if the 🍊🤡 is closing and reopening the Straight of Hormuz simply so he, his family, and his friends can play the market immediately before he announces it. They're just milking the death and destruction, and holding the US military like a bludgeon ... to make a quick billion.

Interesting!

Boop, pre-ordered.

Don't know you from Adam, but sorry for humanity. We, as a group, kinda stuck.

Israel is doing this stuff. Bulldozing homes and villages. Bombing Gaza. Not "Jews" as a social/ethnic group. And then invoking the Holocaust as a joke kinda automagically shines a light on the OP as a shitty human.

I've been listening to Massive Attack for literally decades and never once thought about what they looked like. They were like Daft Punk to me: amorphous beings that delivered great music to my ears.

Seeing them was like ... "Aww, dudes. Why aren't you my bros?!"

Tom Waits and Massive Attack announce collaboration The two artists (seldom releasing new material) have revealed themselves a pairing, with “Boots On the Ground" arriving April 16th.

First off: a-friggin-mazing. Can't wait!.

Second: seeing artists as people sometimes entirely changes how you think about them.

They are like Fox News hosts: gleeful to trumpet the party line as long as they're getting paid. And this guy doesn't care that Russians are killing and dying. It's all just a job for him and their lives, nothing more than a number on a page.

Semi-regular reminder that Substack is a nazi bar.

If you need an easy to use, hosted service there’s Ghost, Wordpress, Buttondown, Kit, Beehiiv, Patreon…

These friggin guys. How do you not know that 1. Don't do that, and 2. It's going to be found out, and 3. See 1 and 2.

How stupid does a guy gotta be?

He's got Trump for the rest of 2026, then the whole administration will be bent over a barrel. Fico out in 2027.

Let us... vote.

Did you even say thank you?

He's voracious.

Exactly this.

So, MAGAts, same energy. Go get em!!!!

I don't mean the average folks, rather Democrat strategists, news media, et al. They keep expecting the 🍊🤡 to act presidential / educated / erudite while he's bilking America taxpayers for billions, pedo-ing, and, seemingly, getting away with it.

"Don't you remember your history?!" is weak sauce.

As much as folks deride the administration for things like "not knowing history" or "not having morals", or "being pedos", you guys just don't seem to be getting it yet.

They do not care while they are making money and out of jail. And their base? They just think this stuff is "owning the libs."

The expectation that this administration is anything other than a clown car of sycophants trying to stay out of jail, due to their pedo-ties, while the driver (🍊🤡 himself) tries to make money is silly.

Mini Me's lips flap in tune with Trump's butt cheeks. Coincidence? I think not.

You can read this as "Please, Iran, keep taking the spotlight. The whole 'my boss is a pedo' thing is kinda blowing up over here (no pun intended) and we need your help. Be a bro, k?"

Insane post by our pedophile president's administration.

Fascist checklist:

✅ Conspiracy theory - who is it that's importing the third world?
✅ “Them” and “Us” Thinking
✅ The Leader as “Hero” - "only the orange man can save us!"
✅ Scapegoating and the Perpetual Search for Enemies

Points from Laurence Rees' The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History.

US, the country that called for the annihilation of another country? That "US"?

(Sorry, I live in the US, and nothing about this timeline is good. Sorry. Protests can only get us so far until elections, given that traitors and cowards still hold control over all facets of our government.)

You ascribe too much introspection to the lot. Not a single one has the ability to regret their poor decisions and the whole reason they don't care can be summed up by "librul tears".

They don't care if they win; they just want everyone else to lose more.

It's why they attack education. It's why they attack transparency. It's why they have captured the media.

Because when the system doesn't function and when news isn't true, people who were educated by a purposely neglected system don't have the faculties to fight back.

Then Repubs can easily win.

Tyrants and wanna-be despots don't topple themselves.

They are made to topple by systems that we set up in direct opposition to tyrannical means. They're made to topple by people.

This is why Republicans attack the system first, and then use the system to attack those who are not them.

(Not to be all reddit atheist, but...) Atheism draws you, inevitably, to the fact that we're out here, floating around an unremarkable star, all alone. It's just us. There will be no celestial backup, no divine retribution for bad people.

We need to do better because no one will do it for us.
