Do they try to astroturf twitter anymore? It's sort of amazing seeing Americans react this way.

If it's just one I think they are testing it more than anything

It's really small minded and petty, but I think it's more related to compensating for the humiliation of their ground forces in Lebanon than anything

It's the laziness that's astounding. Like you can mass create accounts and use AI to puppet them, shit really shouldn't be this obvious

Yeah when I read something like this I assume the opposite is true and they are starting to get the misinformation engine going.

I'm starting to think that maybe Islam itself poses a problem for the west, and this goes behind general nationalist racism. It is the world's fastest growing religion and it hasn't become absorbed by individualism. If it was just about demonizing enemies, you'd think something similar would be happening with Orthodox Christianity or something, but it's not.

I'm not a religious person and I wasn't raised religious, so I don't have an axe to grind with anybody, and most of what I think is gleaned relatively clinically by just reading the books. And as it is written, Islam is actually a pretty universalist religion that sort of contains a universal nationalism. I feel like something about this is inherently threatening.

They look like they tweet. I want to spike the punch bowl at whatever weird get together these pointdexters arrange.

Oceania was at war with Eurasia. Therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

Don't stone me but we have a decent amount of disposable income and the prices have sort of made me move away from coupons and circulars anyway. If chicken breast is 6.99 / lb. and fucking wild Alaskan king salmon is 9.99 / lb. I might as well just get salmon. When we hit Weimar inflation the extra money in my account isn't going to help me and I'll be grateful for the Omega-3s when I need to brawl in the streets for bread.

It really depends A LOT on the type of bear. The black bears of the northeast are basically Saint Bernard sized raccoons. They will almost always run from you unless they are really in ecstasy over a dumpster or something. They live concentrated around state parks like seagulls on boardwalks, even though the are periodically moved. They used to come scratch their backs on the side of our house, and I saw them hiking a handful of times.
