A nouveau, combinons ces chiffres de non-vaccinés >70 ans avec les taux d'hospitalisation/soins intensifs/décès selon la méta-analyse suivante : https://t.co/7LtUTSKZ0F
@SGTWipper1Each Army veteran, husband, father, and insufferable asshole.
(That big building contains only tons and tons of bones that were too broken or dispersed to reconstruct a body, even partially)
You are a disgrace as a veteran.
@andrewmichta We are now at a point in time where your very verbose analysis can be easily answered by these two words:
Fuck
You
All of you Americans are psychopaths and nobody wants to have anything to do with you morons
I’d go one step further, as a scholar of authoritarianism: When companies or institutions cave despite the law being on their side, they are the ones who are making the law irrelevant.
Law only works if you make it work. It has no agency of its own. We are all its agents.
A very important point from @Samfr over on Bluesky: "All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot."
As straightforward a case as you can find of being cancelled not because of spewing hate or celebrating murder but because the most powerful political figures in the land did not like being criticised: https://t.co/PCMXkxB7ZA
That's the neat part- it'll be whoever they say it is. So if you're a MAGA who got a little outspoken about something you think you "didn't vote for" and you own a lot of guns, guess what- you can be antifa now!
@spz19@PLR_Suisse@PLR_VD Comment fait Blick pour ne pas avoir de commentaires sous ses tweets sans restreindre ? Ils ont banni tous les comptes zinzins ?
The GOP literally wrote out what they would do if they regained power (Project 2025). It was incredibly unpopular because it was filled with evil shit. And the media just let them get away with denying it was their plan, despite it being all laid out in writing.
In 2002, Putin pressured NTV to end the production of Kukly, a political satire puppet show for adults. In 2003, NTV was forced to shut down.
People laughed and said, "Well, it was deserved, for the good of the country, don't mock the man who will make Russia great again."
Meanwhile, war raged in Chechnya, and the restrictions got worse. The prisons got worse. The censorship got worse. OMON was created along the way. Political opposition was outlawed. The courts fell under the power of the Kremlin. Then Greenland, sorry, Georgia was attacked, then Panama, sorry Crimea, and then Canada, sorry, I meant Ukraine.
23 years after puppets hurt dear leader's feelings, Russia is isolated, with an economy in ruins, and a population indoctrinated into a political cult of self declared greatness and endless metaphorical five year plans.
More than half the population lives in a weird mix of 1975 meets 2019. Some live in 1920 meets 2019. Moscow and St. Petersburg are ivory towers, isolated from the reality of the real Russia. Almost 25% of all Russian GDP comes from those two metro areas. That's how consolidated wealth has become.
This greatness was achieved despite having the largest land mass on the planet and an embarrassment of riches in natural resources.
But hey, the Russian people voted for ending those dangerous, insulting puppets 23 years ago and convinced themselves this was just a passing phase.
Now they're being taught Stalin, one of histories worst mass murders, is what their leadership should strive to be.
Bah, I'm a loyal patriot! I want this.
I'm sure you are. What happened to Russia's loyal patriots in the 2023 political purge? Where is Igor Girkin today?
The state always needs enemies, and history shows repeatedly, it eventually eats itself.
@two_down_auto@EarlyRiser54321@BulwarkOnline So you say the last admin was an anti-democratic authoritarian abusive one - and then you admit the current one that you cheer on is no better, but you like them anyway.
Is he telling us they just go out blindly shooting at fishing boats? Sadly, this is not a problem created by the people in those boats, but by the greed of US pharmaceutical companies and a non existent health care system.
Kristi Noem joined ICE in a Chicago raid this morning. Agents blew the doors off a U.S. citizen’s house, handcuffed him, and put him in a propaganda video even after realizing it was a mistake.
This is America under Trump. No one is safe.
@SpaghettiKozak Shame on the other journalists too, for not defending their colleague. The rest of the present journalists should only have one question after this which is "did you just threaten and blackmail our colleague?"
For a decade in Parliament I was one of the biggest advocates for the F-35. Recently, I have been having serious second thoughts. Allies don’t conduct themselves like this. 1/4
