Advocating for UBI while also bashing anyone you don’t like as an “elite” or demonize “credentials” might seem like an odd way to fight marxism but that’s only because you don’t know how to play 9D chess

Yesterday was a perfect example of this….random tweets declaring the war was on, it was over, Vance had departed, Vance was in DC, Iran was sending people, then they weren’t

All within 30 minutes

My hottest, most scorching airport take is:

arrive as early as you want, no one can task you when you’re there. Responsibility doesn’t exist.

Oh, there’s an ask from work? WiFi is down. You’re boarding. You’re disembarking.

Airport is suspended animation. There are no rules, you survive / enjoy.

Just ask yourself how many people you know have their kids share a room into their teens (or at all)?

Nostalgia is a helluva drug

Yes housing costs are a problem. Yes cost of living is a problem. But no, this was not the typical home of the working or middle class.

Miltwitter decoder:

Served at every level = led at company level and maybe had BN staff

JAGs restricted us = never actually met a JAG officer/ or was responsible for FRO, targeting, in kill chain etc

GOs are woke = met his DIV CDR or TRADOC GO in group setting

PME is woke = highest PME was CCC

The real takeaway from their manifesto is that they will shape this as good vs evil. Just like many in the political space right now. The difference is they have the tools and finances to cling to power/influence that most politicians don’t. They will not go quietly into the night.

Technically no…but I was attached to them

It’s just incredible we live in an age where actual brain power is being used in the puzzle palace to figure out ways to push back on the narrative military food is trash. The most online admin ever.

Another installment of the “you know what I mean” guy.

Makes false statement. Gets corrected. Gets indignant. The real veteran move is invoking his dads military status though, that’s next level stuff. Well played 🫡

Tech bros love merit and capitalism - that being said, the times are simply too perilous, it just so happens we need the govt to pick winners and losers in order to usher in a new era of “the west” - sure that means Palantir gets a few trillion more in contracts…but right after that…back to merit..

It was unthinkable to force companies to raise wages. You can’t attract a good CEO if he isn’t making 1000x what his average employee makes!

We loved cheap stuff and hated third spaces. Cities were bad and wal marts were great.

What no one ever talks about is how Dems were talking about this 15 years ago and were labeled anti business/communists

Communities sold out to big box stores and wal mart praised for all the “jobs” they created (none with livable wages) - we gave tax break after tax break and for what?

I’ll never yuck someone’s yum, but I do find it very funny when self proclaimed alphas watch a bunch of sweaty dudes in tights dance around a ring with each other

Return on investment? I’m not sure I follow…I have a TSP though.

99.9% chance that this guy went into civilian world assuming that his ability to “budget/plan/resource” (aka spend money he was simply allocated with the expectation he spends no matter what) in the military was relevant to the private sector.

Only took a dozen or so lives to get us right back to where we were. Huge success.

Are the women insufferably liberal or are you just a weirdo that is up all night reading 4chan conspiracy threads? The quandary of our times.

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

The proper response to this in the real world is: so you think 13 Soldiers dead is worth slightly higher stocks?

There are many issues not worth arguing with your crazy MAGA uncle or coworker about, but normal people should not let the narrative be “see? No harm no foul, oil down, stonks up”

They're on social media all day buying 10 dollar lattes which is why they can't buy a house and contribute to the economy... It's just old people who don't want to accept the fact that they fucked over their kids and grandkids.

But remember- city run grocery stores are not only the downfall of capitalism/democracy but also too far fetched to work

Companies making so much money off AI that they will give it to the govt who will in turn give it to everyday Americans is well within reason.

The youths are addicted to video games and becoming lazy - but also going to the gym too much…but also not drinking enough…but also MAHA…

I’ve heard the zip of a bullet, the blast impact of a 107 & 122, the feel of an IED….none of that compared to the sound of a shaheed loitering overhead

Left you feeling totally helpless.

The comments on Twitter are obviously the best part

“The millionaires are going to leave!”

The entire point is that they weren’t there in the first place, but please keep on defending the guys who couldn’t care less about you or your family living in an affordable city.

HEY IM WALKIN HERE! - probably Dianna

What part of just war theory explains how you give no quarter and bomb civilian water sources? It’s crazy the pope doesn’t understand that stuff.

The pivot from “give no quarter” and “we will bomb your civilian infrastructure” to “the pope needs to read Just War Theory” is astounding, even by this administrations standards

If you read what the pope wrote and immediately get defensive/feel he’s attacking you politically….thats a you problem and you should probably seek help.

Kernan is the ultimate “you know what I mean” guy

Never lets facts get in the way of his opinion, thinks “common sense” could solve everything, never read the constitution but gets the gist of it etc etc
