At will employment in the US is crazy. We're approaching the point of swearing literal fealty to our corporate overlords.

"She's too woke and progressive. Why? Because she's DEI coded." Something we'll enjoy hearing for the next few months.

Kamala hasn't even had the time to articulate how she'd be different from Biden and Americans are so fucking brain broken from the media that they can't formulate real logical opinions about the world.

This is literally indistinguishable from a redditor. We are in Reddit hell.

I'm incredibly sympathetic to the argument that both pop culture and the power of the internet algorithms, like the marvel movies and tiktok respectively, have been warping us all into soy liberals. The capitalist culture has become more homogenized by standardization and we're all treat brained enjoyers of the spectacle. These things bleed into real life too much and eradicating this will be a priority of the re-education camps once they are established.

They probably also have no idea how to hit Iran in a way that prevents Iran from destroying their military overnight. Like, Israel spent so many missiles creating rubble in Gaza but there's no way they have enough to destroy Iran's offensive capabilities. There's really no way Israel can hit Iran without getting owned.

I'm fearful that during the possible attack that something happens that can fully justify the Great Satan getting involved like the US embassy getting hit. The Little Satan might also do something as a false flag once they see missiles in the air.

And those numbers were always going to be an undercount anyway due to the nature of the war. Hard to confirm the dead in a pile of rubble while the hospitals are being attacked.

Centrists do love avoiding "ideology" and then being cowards in front of any moral question and position. They just reinvent new ways to show the Disco Elysium quote:

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

A note for the liquid soap incident said the door seal fitting instructions were "vague and unclear on what specifications or actions are to be followed or recorded by the mechanic,'" per The Times.

This line is so fucking funny to me. I'm gonna use it whenever I fuck up at work. The instructions were vague so I just did whatever I wanted.

Also, how do they not have a generic grease or lubricant? Like I work vaguely in a manufacturing setting and the guys who assemble everything just have a tub of goop they use for basically everything.

I don't know who set it up because I don't really care about the debate, but it probably originates from the organization hosting it. The people setting it up might not have understood who he was, maybe they are pro Israel and wanted an everyman e-celeb, maybe they are pro khamas and wanted someone embarrassing to represent Israel, maybe they didn't really know much beyond he's an internet debatelord, and finally maybe no one else was willing to represent Israel in this climate and go up against finkelstein. Like, would you want to try to defend an active genocide? I know I wouldn't.

Also, Destiny is a stupid person who loves to get owned so he also had to be willing to do this.

"~~Ukarine~~ Armenia will join the EU after Turkey, which is never"

I updated a quote I vaguely remember hearing like 5 years ago. The EU hasn't added a country in almost 11 years and it's already struggling to maintain itself as nationalist governments like Hungary pursue their own interests within the bloc.

There are a bunch of quotes about Marxists having to live while knowing and understanding the horror and evil of the capitalist system (I'd use one if i could remember any of them). Most people just live their normal lives not really thinking about this stuff without consciously taking a side, whereas we are weird internet communists who continue to learn about how the collective world worships at the blood altar of capital.

As someone who could be on the other side of the planet from you, all I can really do is encourage you to look after your mental health and take breaks from staring into the soul crushing abyss. Also, avoid adopting misanthropic views because we should fundamentally believe that people are generally good and it is the system that twists them into the demons that they become.

Happy anniversary. It's good to know my gut reaction to hearing about the SMO being "this is the end of nato" was more correct than I thought. As the western military stockpiles shrink there's fundamentally less evil that the west can do. As an example, if all that "lethal aid" wasn't sent to Ukraine then it would have been more for Israel and more used to bomb the axis of resistance.
