can we skip ahead to the next version of operation paperclip where all the current collaborators and grunts get hired by an enemy nation already?
I mean, since we're not going to do the whole truth and reconciliation thing and all.
I do not now, nor will I ever, support the north american empire. My congresspeople won't say or do anything about it, and it will never come up for a vote that I have any say in.
But apparently you can just abduct a country's leadership now, so... Good luck, I guess.
Nunca EEUU se había atrevido a bombardear un país de América del Sur. Nunca. Ahora lo hizo. Desde hoy, ningún país de América está a salvo de EEUU. Ninguno. Hoy es el petróleo de Venezuela; mañana será el litio de Argentina, Chile y Bolivia. EEUU es la mayor amenaza para América.
@PunishedHoots Eh. I think when you get into the headspace that your entire personality is just trying to lord over people you deem yourself superior to, you just kind of become disgusting.
There are plenty of 'ugly' people who aren't down with being fascist, and they're not nearly as gross.
@PunishedHoots Sometimes when I hang out with my charmander friends, it makes me want to take a sewer slide or turn to a life of nothing but corn.

@ThatSamWinkler It's a necessary concession to maximize rent-seeking. If things were to improve, it would cost money. But if we make things slightly worse all the time we can charge people for what they already have.
@PunishedHoots not that I expect you don't already know this, but whenever a method exists for even a modicum of generational wealth to be built up among the poors, it is paramount for capital to destroy it and redistribute that wealth upwards.
America.
@PunishedHoots Housing as a commodity existed in a such a way that allowed the poor upward mobility given enough time or luck; this is fundamentally against the necessity for capitalism to always have a permanent underclass, so this check was invented to curb that. See also medicare spend down
@GoodPoliticGuy Roberts will put forth a ruling which says it's only a coup if it's written down and passed around to all parties "I am doing a coup" beforehand. Otherwise? Totally legal.
@PunishedHoots "ah, mais non, pas de problème c'est juste m'amie cointelpro qui toujours me regarder!"
I think I'm going to pronounce it as Kwahn Telpro now, like it's a first and last name. 😃
