  • That’s okay. Your stream is a constant barrage of propaganda jumping from Kremlin-aligned and China friendly talking points, from “AOC IS A FRAUD”, Israel is committing genocide, Zelensky is a fascist. Generalized complaints about Western propaganda, complaining about NATO expansion, celebrating Chinese achievements in high speed rail. Quick scan of your history, this one jumps out re: US sending weapons to Ukraine: “I don’t care. Whatever ends up weakening the US. I’m tired of it turning my region into a shooting range.”.

    Let’s dissect this one for a second - the mental gymnastics to get around this are truly Olympic caliber - complaining about external forces turning your region into a shooting gallery, given that Russia and Iran have funded Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO, Assad’s Syria, general terrorist activity and frequent direct military intervention for the last 75 years, and yet implying all blame rests with the U.S. and none with the corrosive, mischievous death cult of Russia and Iran - Spectactular stuff.

    So - think whatever you want. It’s cool - ths is social media, and you have picked your side, loud and clear. West Bad, Ukraine Bad. Got it. Yawn. Although if you are actually a human being, rather than a paid spammer or bot - it begs the question why you would waste your time picking fights on a Ukraine-sympathetic themed thread.







  • Reddit is a media company now, they’re not a community. Tons and tons of ads, thin skinned moderators with God complexes running completely out of control, and they now have platform profit responsibility.

    Will cost them - this is a significant change to, by definition, some of their most popular content. Many people go to Reddit purely to find non-paywalled versions of content.



  • Well - why would he be? Trump didn’t accept it last time, and this is well and truly the end of the road for him if he doesn’t win. He’s 77 as it is, but zero point zero zero zero zero percent chance he gets this close again.

    And the cost of not winning is monumental. It’s victory or destruction for the vulgar talking yam. If he’s no longer of any use to Russia, imagine what information might come out about him, especially if they themselves descend into instability.

    Trump never accepts any defeat, ever. It’s always a disgrace, the worst, most nasty this and that that’s so unfair to him. Of course he’s not going to accept a defeat. What the adults do about it is the important variable.

    Given his legal trouble, he very truly could either be president or imprisoned. he probably has less money than he wants us to believe, fleeing to Russia or Venezuela etc isn’t really an option. His money will just be seized by the state and he will be disposed of as an impotent, toothless old hippo, only capable of making noise, with no more use to offer anyone.
