I have no words for this.

This reads like a bad novel. The amount of cope and methaphysics is staggering!

It is kinda hilarious and shocking at the same time. Its eating faces om steroids.

I think there is a fallacy at play here.

Flat earthers are very few which not really escape but decide not to believe in science while palestine for example is something that would have and has gone differently just because the information wasnt as abundand. Now we have thousands upon thousands of websites, profiles, people, messages, etc that depict the genocide in 4k.

So our core audience for flat earth is enormously different from the palestine issue.

This means that on average people will definitely and massively benefit from the information abundance but of course some will - same as flat earthers - not be convinced, no matter the evidence.

But we cant discount the rule for the exception. It took me half an hour by the way to find the name of the fallacy that seems to be coming up rn. “Exception fallacy” is discounting a rule “abundance of information makes a huge difference to past situations of this nature” for its exceptions “the flat earthers still dont listen.”

Thats an interesting yet harrowing perspective. It feels like the US is already becoming kind of unruly as the people start protesting en masse.

Germany didnt protest hitler. They loved him. There are many interviews from before and after where people were frenetically in love with him. The us back then had its own dictator with near totalitarian power and nobody was against that either. They even had concentration camps with japanese people in it.

I think its very different know. We cant say people are terribly resolute but the mere flow of information is manyfold and the reaction albeit being disorganized or misguided is there.

Maybe some history buffs can fill in the blanks here?

A legal expert said on Wednesday that the latest batch of documents from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is “explosive” and seems to implicate President Donald Trump’s deputy attorney general in a massive “cover-up.”

On Wednesday, emails were released that directly contradict statements Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, made to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in a taped interview designed to exonerate Trump. The emails show Trump had knowledge of Epstein’s activities, and directly contradicted Maxwell’s claim that she never saw Trump at Epstein’s house.

Ryan Goodman, a law professor and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, discussed the documents on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

“These are explosive,” Goodman said.

He also argued that Blanche had to know about the emails and was working to cover them up when he interviewed Maxwell. Goodman noted that Blanche never pushed back on Maxwell’s assertion that she never saw Trump at Epstein’s house.

“So he would go in there knowing that this would come out; he would have this in his mind,” Goodman said. “And then to not press back on her to say, ‘What do you mean you never saw him at the house?’ You have an email exchange referring to him spending hours at the house with one of the victims. That, to me, smacks of a bit of a cover-up on the part of the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

“I don’t have a better explanation for it,” he added. "I’d like a better explanation for it, but what he’s doing in that interview is extraordinary. Now that we know what’s actually part of the record

I’d say austerity for at least a couple years with massive spending towards the us and military. I dont think we will see fascism again as it was back then. Its probably more a toned down, stupider version like the us.

The average elon stan getting ready with social darwinism loaded. :D

Yeah, that makes sense. I do agree that decline is getting more overt and i dont think it is reversable either but I dont know if it is as fast as it looks or if it will be a perpetual slow trainwreck like in britain where they starve their population, sabre rattle towards ireland and otherwise keep still as much as possible. For germany this would mean long lines at food banks, strong identification with israel and more police presence on the streets, maybe even outlawing of protests or curfew as with covid. I can see that happening. Germany always was a little more authoritarian than the rest while pointing fingers at erdogan.

I think with orange pedo at the helm nothing is predictable at this point. Could be that he murders mamdani or that he gets jfked to hide the burst of the bubble. There are so many ways this could go.

Only one thing i’m certain of: ukraine is going down. Maybe venezuela war, maybe not. Maybe anexation of palestine, etc. So many avenues.

Good point. So to the best of your knowledge, what will happen and when?

I dunno. How do you figure that it will tear it all apart instead of just another bailout?

I really hope its gonna tear it all apart. A man can hope.

*a non jewish zionist

Thats even more of a kicker for me.

Correct. Its demagogues same as the nsdap back in the day who also used leftist talking points to lull people into thinking theyll change things for the better.

And on top, “the left” party is actively zionist in large parts, hugely chauvinistic, racist, etc. Look at the party meetings. 90+ percent whites, mostly privileged intellectuals with fancy sidecuts etc. The working class cant afford to behave like this while working night shifts in the hospital or driving an amazon van.

And if you dare to speak up (I did) you get shut the fuck down in one second. They tried to boot people out of the party for solidarity etc. The german left party is far beyond any chance at salvation. Imo they are only a recruiting tool for the two marxists per year that happen to get politicised by the party and start pointing out the contradictions.

The issue being that as a self employed IT person I cant really make contact with actual working class people at work. I have to resort to other meeting opportunities.

Of course you are right. My point was that his narrative is pretty interesting as most german leftists would never try to use that perspective and it shows how german anti war sentiment is being used because “the left” party is completely braindead in germany.

So essentially, meta wants to build a 100 mil datacenter. Private equity has them sign a 10 yr rent contract over the amount plus interest and pays the contractor.

This is just circumventing the banking and accounting laws. Its basically fraud.

I agree with you fully. I’m not saying I wish this situation on anyone but its also 100% the only way to do this.

There is no chance in hell that people in the west will get through this unscathed. Be ready to bury A LOT of people.

The only way to have people understand is show them. The US is nearly completely deindustrialized which means you have essentially no skilled crafts which means everyone is dependent on import of products or bullshit jobs. This will implode BIG TIME.

So again, this is going to kill a two digit percentage of the population and there is no way around this. The only thing that can be changed is that one could make it 80% by launching nukes.

In any case, mass graves it is. The sooner we grasp this, the faster we can get to work. Imo we’re talking a couple years at most. Educate, teach, build. The tidal wave is already on the horizon. Climate change will fuck us all up but the west has zero chance to come out of this unscathed.

You’re right. And that is a good thing. The russian revolution started exactly that way.

People were in cruel conditions, they had a revolution against the tsar and then one by the proletariat.

We should be supporting them, not warning.

Today I listened to one of the glen diesen podcast episode about american economics. I think its good analysis to say the vastest employers in the usa are retail and shipment.

The us is the epitome of imperialism because its citizens dont produce stuff but only ship the stuff made by china et al. They have organized themselves around non industries like marketing, stock trade, private equity, ai, etc.

None of these build houses or machines or tools. The vast majority of those is imported afaik.

This led to manual “skilled” labor which ultimately should be the backbone of any country as it is needed if the house of cards collapses. What this means to me is that the us basically only has clerks, lawyers and postmen, essentially. It is the epitome of a buerocracy.

This imo means that even if we could individualize the problem of marxism not playing a role inside the us at this point, we would be using metaphysics. It is absolutely unthinkable to have the three electricians in the us mount a revolution. The rest is hanging at the tit of imperialism and of the withdrawing government aid.

What marxists in the us (like madeleine templeton or what her name is) and what european marxists are doing is groundwork which doesnt show nationally or internationally, and for good reason.

This ultimately leads to: we should of course criticize but we should keep in mind that there are clear ways to do this, pointed out by those who came before us. I for my part am trying to build up a network of MLs and am already cooperating with other leftists and am running a neighborhood help space to build up that “skilled” labor locally.

Just to give you a reality check: the rest will collapse and there is nothing we will do about that. Millions will die. There is nothing to be done about that and hence why bother? The soc dems have historically stemmed the tide and the marxists have built thhe foundations from below, together with the anarchists, to be fair, and then burst through the ground with huge followings which werent known before.

So yes, shit is bad. Lets work on it. Lets connect our small networks and get shit done.
