Article 7: All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of.

Trusting ambitious Chinese citizens is like trusting an American corporation. Our governments are big, the things they want can be small, why would the average person say no?

“Chinese spy” is a silly narrative but it’s even sillier to have a government say “I get to do this” and just… ignore it.

Too many biographies: he was born into an influential family; he had money to explore a burgeoning science/industry; he committed an outrageous crime/stunt but was given a slap on the wrist; he was awarded a nobel for his work.

That would be very ambitious. It sounds dismissive but I wonder if anyone would care… we all seem content to focus on Palestine and ignore what’s happening in Africa. The countries of the world aren’t gushing with altruism unfortunately.

People pointed out that any financial support frees up budgets for offensive weapons and she changed her stance. (Or maybe it was the backlash in general.) I don’t know what votes have come up since.

He is impervious to doing good things. That early “concession” just couldn’t last.

I think Canada, Australia, Britain, and Europe are weak ghouls who stood by our side while we inflicted evil and misery on the world. At least in a moral sense, I’m glad Trump stuck his fingers in the pie and made all these Five Eyed goons run away.

It was especially disgusting to see everyone post pictures of dead soldiers and act like helping America fight all these wars was a noble thing that Trump was denigrating. Imagine being proud to wage war at the behest of corporate America.

At the end of the day, these ghoulish cultures didn’t rebuke American policy, they rebuked Trump. They didn’t like that their slice of the pie was being stolen by a conman. It skeeves me out to think we’re going to grow closer again after all this. Really hope I’m wrong and we snap out of it.

This rhetoric always makes this place feel like stepping into Alice and Wonderland. It’s like when liberals pretend Taiwan is about democracy and not about shipping lanes. It’s just so transparent to people on the outside.

What’s funny is that if you look up “radio sickness” there’s nothing. DDG literally returns nothing. They couch their beliefs in terms associated with modern tech. It’s not 5,000,000hz radio waves, it’s 5G Wifi!

Well yeah. “Economy” with an asterisk. Where everything is made up and the points don’t matter (except when the results feel right). Feels like this line of reasoning requires a whole lot of “obviously it’s this, this time, you can just tell” spackle to fill up the gaps.

I don’t get it personally. I don’t see how they conspiracy-hole this and that, and pretend the most outrageous things, but then supposedly diesel or whatever is the last straw. Decades of being financially fucked into the ground by conservative policy, a decade of But Joe Biden!, and now diesel does it??? Ok I guess.

It’s not their money. These people have 5 aces in their hand. They cheat and then instead of golden rocket cars, they buy the media, our politicians, and secret compounds where they brainstorm how to dismantle democracy and start cults.

It’s just that the cheaters that top the leaderboard also know how to play the game, so they overlap legitimate investors and business owners. Musk and friends don’t need to cheat every hand because the deck is already stacked in their favor.

They lay the malefactor upon his belly, with his hands tied behind his back, then they slit up his fundament with a razor, and throw into it a handful of paste that they have in readiness, which immediately stops the blood. After that, they thrust up into his body a very long stake as big as a man’s arm, sharp at the point and tapered, which they grease a little before; when they have driven it in with a mallet, till it come out at his breast, or at his head or shoulders, they lift him up, and plant this stake very straight in the ground, upon which they leave him so exposed for a day.

They should force $100 to education for humans for every $1 subsidizing AI. All these billions spent on artificial intelligence while teachers get less, classes get bigger.

The Gulf of (Central) America

Would 6 hours of diesel do much anyways?

They sorta just came out and said it. They think we’re “unhumans” that need to be killed. We’re not real humans so the law can’t protect us. JD Vance waved around a manifesto saying conservatives need to load up their muskets and ignore the rules. A lot of us believe them when they say they want us to die.
