The primary reason the US isn't having massive strikes and sustained protests is that just enough people feel like they're doing just well enough they can't risk the possibility of losing what they have. That's why we won't really do anything that's effective at scale when he tramples the election.

1. The HoS for Hungary is not the most powerful person in the world. 2. The other branches of Hungary's government at least tried to maintain their power. 3. The Hungarian people showed much more solidarity, much more willing to take collective action, and on average had less to lose by resisting.

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time
Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

This article reads as a threat, not an expression of concern... "Boy, it sure would be too bad if we went bankrupt, tanked the economy, lost control of our models, and destroyed the internet...," sounds like "keep overlooking our glaring debt and lack of profits, and keep financing us, or else..."

Accelerated use accelerates losses. They're spending $16-$21 (industry average) for every $1 they generate in revenue. Making them spend more at a rate of -$15 to -$21 per $1 earned accelerates the financial collapse of the entire circle jerk. There's no getting around that. It's just math.

Revenue =/= Profit. They're unprofitable & lose billions/year, need constant cash infusion, & are propped up by circular financing through their supplier, NVIDIA, next Enron. Their operations are unprofitable, so making them operate more at a loss costs them even more money. It's basic accounting.

It's "pollution" again. All of us combined are a tiny tiny percentage of the total. Abstaining is meaningless until the corporate world fixes the 95% that falls directly on them. Especially if you manage to create something that will speak to a ton of people you otherwise couldn't have reached.

Don't make money if you don't pay. Why they're losing tons of $, killing the bond market along with the environment, & threatening "worse than the great depression" collapse. No use case making it worth paying in most cases. So using the tools of the oppressor to work against oppression seems good.

Literally, nothing. The left will bitch, whine, & complain, file lawsuits, & protest one day a month. The right will say it's necessary cuz the left made us so bad. Our bonds will still sell financing this BS, & people will go on w/ their lives pretending we aren't losing what made America, America.

The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
