badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 7hThe problem that I have had, and finally had to set aside trying to solve, is that the panicky, catasrophizing and conspiratorial slop that is peddled and slurped up is just another form of complacency. Focus on the conspiracy storyline of the month rather than doing anything useful or productive. 120
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 7hWell good news, to save Hegseth from impeachment both houses of Congress are in recess until after the midterms. And you need them to do what you describe. Mike Johnson is in fact very bad at his job and is having a hard time keeping the GOP in line and Hegseth would likely have gotten the chop. 130
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 7hPeople were doodling in their notebooks instead of paying attention in social studies class and here we are. I have had my fill of looking under beds and inside closets just to tell folks that their political nightmares, stoked for views and engagement, are in fact not that likely…or even feasible 120

badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It is utterly baffling to me, just mind numbingly incoherent that anyone would think Russia, leaving the USSR out it, RUSSIA, is a “good state” A state that is run literally by oligarchic gangsters who snapped up its economy, engaged in crime, murder and torture. A state that expanded exactly like 1131

badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Doesn’t describe what it does or will do. Sounds like what they want to hear and they can project what they want it to be. Sweet nothings. This dude couldn't establish a lemonade stand, let alone a new department in the military that does anything beyond adding existing members to an email list. 000
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’m gonna pushback on the idea that this is some scheme to turn the military into a bunch of bloodthirsty evangelical crusaders drunk on the glory of god and warfare, and say that this is probably just red meat on the grill for the base.

badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It is clear his brain is holding on to topics like trash thrown into semi set jello, a lot of it leaves a confusing imprint, some small things float and he is left trying to stitch together the topic in real time with these small snips and phantasm ideas, some of which are just made up by the brain 120
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I can vaguely see the links his brain is making, but the timeline is thrown off. He’s saying that the Republicans underperform if he isn't on the ballot, he refers to some garble about 2020 and things he said then, his brain tries to pull him back to the present by spouting general nothing GOP crap 130

badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yep, success or failure Venezuela was his first real taste of adventurism and he was always going to like it because its cinematic and exciting. In Regime Change its described how he was actually interested. If they had failed he’d have looked elsewhere to try and save face, probably Cuba. 020
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A lot of political talking heads, think tanks and probably even politicians are in hoc to Russian oligarch cash. It frankly explains a fuck ton of issues 010
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Like I endeavor to avoid falling into the mud pit of “everything is awful there is no hope, we are a benighted people“, so I take your stat in good faith, but I think it doesn’t really address the issue that people are feeling more pinched, and not just because they cant buy doodads 000
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It is still a precarious situation, I suppose this specific stat pulls from folks who can borrow from family/friends, receive aid from groups, rely on credit Etc. While that does make a difference such reliance does not lead to people feeling secure or steady, which does run counter Will here 310
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I mean glancing through the article folks still don’t really have money for emergencies, though younger folks seem more willing to dip into savings for holiday expenses. Are you saying that paying for emergencies with credit is fundamentally different? 210
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Like you mention pessimism but I would say Americans are by and large an overwhelmingly optimistic people by and large, its one of the things that the world both loves and hates about us, we believe it will all work out In the end But people are very aware of the bottom and how hard they can hit it. 000
badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think destitution is a genuine fear of a lot of people in the US, along with what would amount to incurable disease (due to financial constraints). Like…whats the number of folks who don’t have enough saved for an emergency/Are living paycheck to paycheck? These are valid concerns. 240

badgersnmaps.bsky.social @badgersnmaps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I mean the comparison itself isn't new, I’m not trying to argue, just add further context. There are comparisons to be made, the biggest being that they both are were/are seen by the native population as external impositions and humiliations on the region. 020
