could have easily been right wing extremists, nazis and the like.

but who am I kidding , it always ends up leading to Moscow some way in another.

Europe needs to stop sitting on its hands, abandon this wait and see attitude, they should be at the figurative equivalent of DEFCON 2 by now. they need to seriously prepare for a shooting war. The expectation all this time has been that Trump will abandon not just Ukraine but Europe as a whole, he sees the continent as Russia’s plaything, whereas the western Hemisphere is his. They need to prepare for war.

Russia will still get cooked by European NATO, But the casualties will be tremendous on both sides, Putin acts as if he has Syphilyis or something eating his brain, he’s an old man and he will kill to secure his idea of being a “great man of russia for all time”. the Krokodil Vodka fiends have convinced millions of Russians that heroically dying in a war against the amorphous “West” is a pathway to heaven and glory not unlike Islamist Extremists and their 72 virgins.

truth doesnt matter, the only thing that matters is convincing you to vote for the people working for this cabal, so that they get to solidify their power and effectively game the system so that they can never lose again (Fidesz in Hungary, Likely GoP in America)

We knew this, The GOP is controlled by a man who’s subordinate to the Russian mob, and convinced everyone not to care

Stop chasing exes through your 20s. Especially the one from a different country. Even if it didn’t crash and burn it never would have worked anyway just due to immigration

walk away from reddit. try to find a similar community to whatever it was you lost, here. if not, make one! if that fails. get a new device, and only use reddit when you’re away from your usual internet networks.

but seriously, its easier to just walk away from reddit. reddit is an echo chamber of extremism and hopeless cluenessness. on all ends of the spectrum.

The same thing happened to me and I largely stopped caring after I discovered Lemmy. its been a lot better for my mental health too.

Cuba cant make them leave. There isn’t an ally who can back them up and go toe to toe with them like there was for a brief period between 1950s and the late 1980s…

the conspiracy brain in me, looks at ranting from people like elon musk, who say there’s going to be a population collapse, and Im thinking of Resident evil, (the bad movies).

I think they’re banking on the hope that in 20 years there’s going to be billions fewer people in the world, we’re already close to setting it off with the unprecedented increase of state vs state wars since 2020. Azerbaijan/Armenia, Israel/Levant, and even bigger ones that we’ve not seen since the 80s like Russia/Ukraine and with all probability, China/Taiwan by 2028 at the latest.

they’re banking on there being less people to feed, house, and otherwise provide for. so they can fall back to a kind of corpo-feudalism

Those still clinging to the rules based order need to realize they are under attack. Its war on multiple fronts.

Under attack by Russia, Iran, North Korea and Chinese military action. and Under attack by Often Russian aligned, Fascist elements within NATO countries. Trying to seize power globally.

Most of Canada isn’t even habitable for weird Canadians. I live close to Maine, and there are some times of the year where you arne’t leaving home for a day or two until the snowplows dig everyone out. and our winters are MILD

Officially removed the last strings of being a colony in 1982. the head of state with the monarchy was kept as a tradition for the oldies.

Now more accurate to say Commonwealth member, Ally of many, and founding member of NATO.

The EU needs to wake up to the fact that its in a stage prepatory to war. They’re under attack by a wave of fascists, Russian army on the east, and Politicians and Corporate Syndicates from America and within their own borders.

The entire State of Russia, Elon Musk’s Megalomaniasphere, MAGA, Hungary’s Fidesz, Germany’d AFD, France’s RN. We’re essentially in a plot similar to the tom clancy’s Sum of all fears book, where a bunch of Fascists are trying to collectively take over the world.

Its a little conspiracy theorist-y, but some are suggesting the International Democracy Union is one angle of this plot.

I celebrate the passing of fascists,

German Fascists, Russian Fascists, American Fascists, French Fascists. you are all the same.

Au revoir, Shoshanna. Rest in piss. Traitor

Edit - format fail, strikeout not working :(

should have replaced CSI NY with Blue Bloods, same message, same city.

So what happens when dementia finally takes its toll, and Vova stops listening to Winnie?

Lobbyists throwing money at politicians with no limits - yeah go back to what I said earlier about America being a lost cause.

I bought an older VR set from my boss at the time, played Alyx and Blade&Sorcery for a week or two. dont get me wrong, VR is awesome. but its a toy. an expensive, gimmicky toy . the fun passes after a while and soon enough you end up putting it on the shelf.

My money is on VR related toys again. I have a slightly better feeling about HL3 than I have had in years but I’m old enough to know better

I also, don’t care anymore. As far as I’m concerned the industry is getting ready to crash. I’m divesting a lot from. It.

America is a lost cause. But maybe the rest of the world should be reminded that businessmen and oligarchs from other countries screaming on the internet have no affect on law.
