Greenland chooses sovereignty over trojan horse

Wow, Elon himself on Lemmy!

This should bump the stock up another $50-60 tomorrow!!

That was a really good take on the whole thing. The Oatmeal is my people.

You sort of answered your own question in your last sentence.

I don’t have all the answers. But what I do know, is you are literally living in a country where 70% of political experts polled say the United States is no longer a democracy. You are clearly not just seeing backsliding but full on marching towards absolute fascism.

So if you want the real answer, it’s that people are going to have to die and people are going to have to get very uncomfortable in order to turn this around. That, or (and the country is currently doing this) just accept fascism and hope it never comes for you.

If I was an American citizen, I would have been stockpiling food since January. I’d be spending as little money as I possibly can, squirreling away some savings. Most people can, despite what they say, if push really comes to shove. I’d be talking to like minded people and discussing what skills may be able to be traded for in a general strike or emergency.

I’ve laughed at for all of this multiple times, so I don’t really expect it will happen much. But the boots will be on your necks first, even if they eventually come for mine. I’m already planning my life on the assumption it’s coming for me. And I’m not even there.

Why? Really?

Because as a nation you’ve already decided to roll over and accept fascism. No not all of you want this, but collectively, you are a failed nation and we are about to see the final act.

People are clinging to hope, even if unjustified, because the only two options are the law and the system prevail (currently all evidence says no) or people are going to get very uncomfortable and more people are going to die. Either by their choice now, or courtesy of MAGA later.

Good God get outside and touch grass

RIP to one of the greats. Glad she doesn’t have to watch the collapse of the planet she loved so much.

Which is exactly what I and many, many other people have been screaming for months and months. Every day you wait, it’s a harder fight. So your choices are act now and suffer, or act later and suffer worse. Sucks, but that is your reality.

Well, I commented last week that if I was an invited general and Hegseth wasn’t going to be there physically, I wouldn’t go.

And I swear I read something yesterday about Pete “speaking remotely”.

And now Trump is attending in person.

Now I don’t 100% think it will be what it looks like, but if I was Russia and I was on the verge of going to war with NATO, I can’t think of a better way to cripple the US chain of command.

Tin foil hat on - maybe this will be the false flag they need. Crazy leftist antifa trans democratic drag queen blows up 200 generals and the president.

Are these midterms in the room with us right now?

Ok, I want the files released as much as the next guy but you all realize they are going to be doctored, right? Like there is a ZERO percent chance anything incriminating Trump is going to be released. Ever.

He had 1,000 or whatever FBI agents going through all the documents flagging his name? What the fuck dors everyone think for?

One day, when they’re ready, the files will be released. They will “exonerate” Trump. And an “angry” Trump will take his revenge against everyone who insisted he was in them.

Come on people, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see you’re all walking into a trap with the “release the files” stuff. Mark my words. You’re better off preparing to fight and/or live through tough times.

Starbucks has WAY more caffeine than most takeout coffee.

It messes with your gut probably because you’re getting 200-300 mg of caffeine when you’re expecting 100-150

No. There is zero reason to bring all generals in person over last week’s drones.

I’m of the mind it’s either a mass firing (they already put plans in place to cut the top 20% or so of military command) with loyalty pledge, going to full blown war, or a favor to Putin to take all of the US command down at the same time. From most likely to least.

Edit: Something else occurring to me now, would be a great time for Putin to attack NATO with everyone flying back to the USA.

I swear to god America IF that’s what happens, you’re going from schizo friend who is currently psychotic to outright, full blown enemy. I mean that. Every last one of you. Unless you actually do something.

I can help with that.

A “freethinker” in their world is someone who is brave enough to blindly follow stupid people who have opinions outside of the mainstream.

They’re so free they change their mind on the same topic again and again and again depending on what their “freethinker channels” are telling them to think.

So free.

You understand barely any of your fellow “freethinkers” can even manage to figure out how to use it right?

Of course you don’t.

Here’s my free thought - go fuck yourself. Good luck with your little fan club, I fully support your right to give the rest of us plenty of material to laugh at you with.

Commenting for visibilty. Nothing to say about this, it speaks for itself

CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt’s Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)

Must have been a violent leftist
