Assange isn’t an anti-imperialist, he’s only anti-American imperialism. He’s super into Russian imperialism.
He seems to fucking love it.
He personally turned down multiple leaks from Russian sources, including a 68Gb cashe from the Russian Interior Ministry.
And the rape.
Overall, just a shit person, and now he whining about not winning a Peace Prize when his actions directly led to Trump and a less peaceful world.
It is harsh. I’m hoping for the AI bubble to crash. For a lot of reasons, but partially so that I can buy parts at reasonable prices.
It is, but my current setup is struggling.
Microsoft has driven me away from Windows at least a half dozen times over the last 20 years.
Each time the siren call of some game or another will pull me back.
I’d played with Linux native games as well, but most of the greats were Windows only.
And yeah, then Proton.
Now I’m trying to save up the small fortune needed for a computer upgrade, and I’m not even planning to pirate Windows.
First, the best doctors in the world can’t help an unwilling patient.
And again, the dementia drugs. Those are not even 50% effective. They actually sit at about 30% and that’s the best we’ve got.
But thinking that people aren’t quietly talking about what to do when Trump croaks, or can’t be paraded around anymore… That’s just a fantasy.
Everyone is talking about Trump’s health. Well, everyone except his most delusional supporters, but they’re busy photoshopping his head on a fit body.
To be fair, Chinese culture here is also fucking terrible. That doesn’t make Facebook or western countries good, because only a child thinks like that.
No, everyone is shit. that’s the adult take away here.
Trump is 79 and lives on fast food cheeseburgers. He also appears to be on dementia slowing drugs.
Everyone has plans for if Trump croaks in office. Not having those plans is irresponsible.
Their son was arrested. I have no idea if he’s maga, or even if he actually did it. We’ll likely hear all about it when it all comes out.
What I do know is that the Reiner’s lived in the same rough neighborhood that Nicole Brown Simpson lived in after she left OJ. The houses are about a mile apart.
Trump has always been somehow untouchable, but the same could never be said about Johnson, and he makes a great fall guy for everyone’s ire at Trump.
But the key here is, no one in congress on either side really wants Johnson to be in line for the presidency should Trump’s health issues, or pedophillia, finally catch up to him. Especially with the couch fucker around and not being popular except with Nazis.
Banana Republics come to mind. But during the time frame the US was doing that, Most of Europe was still doing their own colonialisms.
It was only when Hitler brought colonialism back to Europe that they started to wake up to how bad it was. Well, some of them. France and England had to start losing colonial wars, mostly due to losses suffered in due to WW2, before they slowly started freeing colonies.
Just shows that everyone is shit, and cheering for a team is kind of stupid.
No, all authoritarians are basically the same kind of asshole, and Tankies are pure authoritarians.
And since the very first use of the terms left vs right, was a question of Authoritarianism vs Democracy, a question of unelected monarchy vs the power of the people.
Only later were economic terms added, because Marx envisioned a truly democratic economy.
And then Lenin betrayed the revolution, and then wrote about how betrayal of the revolution and establishment of a dictatorship was what Marx wanted.
Lenin had the actual communists who won the November 1917 election arrested as traitors.
If you are authoritarian, you are not of the left. Full stop.
They exist here. Not to be confused with the Tankies, who hold almost identical views but with a coat of red paint.
That is the correct term. It came from a civil case, where the burden of proof is lower, but also there’s no criminal consequences.
Epstein was Mossad, Trump ran an identical underage model trafficking ring that was linked to the KGB.
They weren’t business partners, but instead friendly competitors with overlap, particularly the guy who secured the fake visas that the girls were in the US under. Paolo Zampolli, former owner of ID models, The Trump Director of international development, and currently appointed to the UN by Trump.
He was appointed a mod, which could happen without the user approval at the time. But he remained on the “mod team” until the sub was shut down a few years later.
Trump was never convicted of sexual assault.
His 34 convictions are for campaign finance crimes.
He was found civilly liable for sexual assault, and was found as a matter of fact to have raped, but other than monitory fines in civil court, nothing legal can be done about the rapes.

If you want actual journalism, look at DDoSecrets.
There was also the RT talk show in 2012, and the fact that wikileaks hasn’t published anything at all critical of Russia since 2010.
