@bronzebaby22@ChristianHeiens By the early 2000s, after college, I would say that the majority of people I knew shared this oikophobia, convinced that nearly every other country in the world had a superior society, culture, economy, etc., and that the USA was backwards and evil at its core.
@bronzebaby22@ChristianHeiens Wow. I learned a new term today. One that accurately describes so many people I’ve known, starting around high school in the mid 90s when this kind of… worldview?… started to become popular.
They're talking about how there's been no word from the "admins" about further mobilization.
We have undeniable proof that NGOs are calling the shots from top-down.
We know they were responsible for BLM and Summer of Love v1 too. These NGOs and their funders need to be sued for every bit of property damage over the years.
🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup
@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.
They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.
I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

@mattvanswol@mattvanswol You’re in Asheville, right? That’s probably just a lot of group-signal going on. Haven’t seen it yet right outside of Charlotte over the border in SC.
Understand what Thune is doing right now. It’s not enough for him to kill the SAVE America Act. Thune has to kill it while also protecting his worst RINO colleagues from being
exposed for opposing it.
How does Thune accomplish his? By avoiding a simple majority vote at all costs. Thune knows a public vote where Republicans get less than 50 votes—with people like Tillis and Curtis and McConnell and Murkowski voting against IT—is electoral poison. He doesn’t want it to pass, but he also can’t have it die at the hands of his own puke colleagues.
So how does Thune do this? By refusing to move to the already-passed House bill (this only requires a simple majority because the House message is privileged) and instead moving to a new, standalone Senate bill. A new Senate bill is not privileged, and therefore the motion to proceed to it is debatable, meaning it requires 60 votes.
Thune needs to kill the SAVE America Act, not expose any of his GOP colleagues as being against it, and be able to pretend that he tried. This is the actual Senate GOP trifecta—doing nothing while pretending they tried everything and protecting the worst of the worst the whole time.
So when you watch the GOP Senate bring up a brand new SAVE America Act bill and hold a single vote on a motion that needs 60 to pass, know that they’re doing it because they think you’re stupid.
Now even Blob Media is admitting Ukraine commandos blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, the CIA knew it and even coordinated with them in advance, then the Biden State Department lied to your fuckin face and told you Russia did it.
@FurryRatBeast@preterniadotcom Are they really not? That’s such a bummer. Was really hoping they’d at least release them in a different color or something.
The corollary many in the GOP fail to get is this: when trust in the media is gone, there’s no narrative left to capture and no argument left to win.
The real question isn’t how to beat the media, it’s why they’re still treated as the default sense-makers when no one trusts them anymore.
@TheAtlantic basically what you’re saying is your shit sucks, you can’t win without censorship, nobody clicks it unless it’s Clockwork Orange’d into people’s feeds and they have no choice to view other content, so you’re rationalizing your unpopularity as resulting from some clickto-autocracy
