There is exactly zero hypocrisy in anyone and everyone from FDR to Upton Sinclair having wealth, yet arriving at ideas and programming that attempts to redress wealth inequality. Just as there is no hypocrisy in anyone owning firearms in a gun-saturated society and being committed to gun control.

None of these assholes who believe they are the vanguards of the "white master race" look like they could open a jam jar without having a tantrum. It was true of the SS and it's true of this lot too.

‼️THIS VIDEO SHOWS A FLAGRANT WAR CRIME‼️ These are cluster bombs, fired by the Russians, hitting Kyiv. Cluster bombs are indiscriminate weapons, and using them in populated areas is an obvious war crime. It is clear Putin does not want peace. He must be forced to accept it.

Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.

Pay close attention to Russia's economic indicators now. Everything is going wrong. The Moscow stock exchange is on a record losing streak. Investors are abandoning banks due to fears of collapse. The government has warned even military production is being affected. Soon...🍿

The utterly pointless targeting of Meloni by Trump shows how truly chaotic US policy has become. Long after Trump is gone, the damage to US standing will remain. He was elected twice, more like him may get elected again. Decades worth of global trust in the US is gone now.

Another sign of Putin's loss of influence: Lukashenko apologized to Zelenskyy for comments threatening Ukraine. Luka admitted Belarus is highly vulnerable and Belarusians don't want war, and said he poses no military threat to Ukraine. Luka sees which way the wind is blowing.

Passage through the Strait of Hormuz isn't just commercial- it is also needed for the US Navy to access the Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain. This brings the possibility that the US will have to pay Iran for USN ships to be able to access their own base - or that Iran won't permit USN access at all.

Russian economic collapse: oil exports at new lows since the full-scale war began. As US sanctions impact increases, fuel shipments dropped to about half what they were at the 2022-2023 peaks. Add in dropping Urals oil prices, and their revenue outlook is very dire indeed.📉💥
