Look I will admit that I'm quick to label things copaganda. But surely anyone will recognise that this is embarrassingly blatant. Like some designer was tasked with disputing ACAB.

It's ironic that many billionaires have a nuclear bomb shelter, because they will be the most useless people around in a post-apocalyptic world.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I don't really like the thought of keeping an animal in captivity even if all its primary needs are met and has a healthier, safer, more joyful life than its kin in the wild.
It's not even about the animal really.
I just don't want to be a prison guard.

best part of this is how elon musk's definition of "swindler" is also the most concise possible summary of how he became a billionaire

"I reject your accusation BUT if I were to do that it wouldn't qualify because I apply arbitrary definitions to this matter."
It's odd how common this type of defense is, perhaps because of its ease but so incredibly weak and self-incriminating, or if you expect to be exposed eventually.

He should ask his buddy Netanyahu what an army without rules of engagement does when their own hostages run to them waving a white flag.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
