I came to enjoy the lamentations of the state-affiliated media.

when will all the post-liking account-following thirstbait thotbot accounts realize that we can *SEE* that they are based in Nigeria/Africa/Mumbai/Pakistan?

he's right about this.
he doesn't go further, into the near-impossibility of reforming the hostility-convenient passages out of Islam, but he's dead right about this point.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Crazy how many non Muslims genuinely believe Muslims can never live peacefully with them.

They see Muslims as a threat to their safety, their communities, even their existence.

And honestly? Before Muslims get angry, ask yourself why that fear exists in the first place.

When some Muslims openly justify violence, celebrate extremists, threaten critics, force religion on others, and then scream “this is Islam” … what exactly do you expect non Muslims to think?

You can’t spend years allowing the loudest and most dangerous voices to represent Islam, then act shocked when the world becomes afraid of Muslims.

The biggest damage to Islam today is not coming from outsiders.
It’s coming from Muslims who turn the religion into a symbol of fear instead of peace.

@DeshaisEvan @tanpukunokami get better soonly!

@Jack_Box_2026 @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine @grok no, I've been wasting my mortal time with you - an error I can easily rectify.
and shall, immediately.

@Jack_Box_2026 @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Monetary inflation is _by_definition_ the sustained expansion of a nation's currency supply - typically in excess of its working value.

hey, @grok - could you explain this in monosyllabic words for this JackBox creature?

[Gordon Promish @G_Mac_Promish]

[Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic have entered the chat]

yeah, yeah - the supply of fiat currency can be inflated theoretically infinitely.
the working value of that debased currency, however, is a different matter.

the calculation was simple:
1. estimate of total wealth -liquid, real, corporate, invested, everything- of the top 5% = valueA
2. estimate of total annual government expenditure = valueB
3. assume complete liquidation/fungibility is even possible
4. divide A by B to get funding duration from that one-time theft.

Ben,
Do you realize that the word "totalitarian" originated from the Italian Fascists? It may have been coined by Italian journalist and politician Giovanni Amendola in describing the election process in Mussolini-controlled territory.
It was certainly publicly and proudly adopted by Fascists themselves, Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini himself.

The formulation of totalitarianism as "Everything within the State; Nothing outside the State; Nothing against the State" is attributed to Benito Mussolini, in a speech given in December, 1928.

The term was later applied as a pejorative to other breeds of collectivist lunacy, particularly to Stalinist Soviet Union and to Mao's China, as well as to the current hellhole the Kims have made of N.Korea.

In sum, Ben: Your post was factually incorrect.
I hope this correction, above, helps you do better in the future.

@pureMetatron fascism, national socialism, and international socialism are all closely-related parasites squabbling over the same host's veins and fighting for control over the same pool of young useful idiots.

to the host, the exact subspecies is irrelevant: a tick is a tick.

@shigeyuki696 bulldozers live for this kind of moment.

[Gordon Promish @G_Mac_Promish]

I would go so far as to submit to the public debate that policies which predictably and reliably afflict minority communities with the promotion and entrenchment of a subculture of irresponsibility and proto-criminality is far more perfectly and exactly the "systemic racism" the left loves to bruit about than *anything* they prefer to identify as such.

as one example:
high rates of criminality cause poverty *at least* as reliably as poverty causes criminality.
this isn't controversial.

A SOLIDIFYING TREND:
every single one of us who is not a hoodrat or a hoodrat-enabler is just about completely tired of the continued existence of hoodrats.

black, white, hispanic, asiatic, ALL of us are sick and tired of this nonsense.

this is going to be a key sociopolitical fact, one of serious leverage, in the future - if it has not yet already become so.

[Gordon Promish @G_Mac_Promish]

支配か？
ある程度は、当初はそうだった。

しかし、過去50年の間に、海路の自由な利用を守る米国の海軍覇権の下、両国の経済、技術、研究開発、そして国益は、共生関係に至るほどに密接に結びついてきました。

私は、米国と日本が現在、日本が確固たる軍事同盟国かつ貿易パートナーとして、独自の地域海軍勢力として再び台頭することに対して、互いに前向きな姿勢を持っていると信じたいと思います。

Control?
To some extent, yes, at first.

Over the last 50 years, however, our economies, technologies, research and development, and national interests have intertwined to the point of symbiosis, under the aegis of American naval hegemony protecting free use of sea lanes.

I would like to believe that we of the United States and you of Japan are currently open to Japan reemerging as its own regional naval power, as a solid military ally and trading partner.

@pirooooon3 women are weaker than men.
the old are weaker than the young.
the solitary are weaker than the pack.
the civilized are prey for the opportunistic predator.

guns alter the calculus.
