You can’t get into bed with both the sicilian and Jewish mob and expect to come out clean. For those interested in finding out a little more:

“Operation gladio”

“One nation under blackmail”

Our American neighbours, over the pond, are in for one hell of a ride. At least you have all that coffee ready, for when you make up.

We sure are looking forward to having our friend and ally back.

Germany hadn’t done those things in the 1930s. They didn’t start that until the 1940s.

The problem here is that many people are unaware that the CIA formed and funded many ultra far right militant groups all across Russia, what is now the former soviet block and Europe. They did this since the end of WW2 and it was funded by the CIA selling heroine out of Myanmar and having the sicilian and caucasian mob sell it for them, under operation gladio. This crime is the actual, real reason for the rise of the far right in Europe. Securing a route to the opium fields in northern laos was the real reason for the Vietnam war and why they dripped more bombs on Laos than Vietnam, during the war. Myanmar used to be the world’s largest supplier of illegal opium from the 1950s right up until it was replaced by Afghanistan in the early 00s. I wish I was lying.

The Russian mafia, the KGB and these ultra far right groups formed the basis of putins government. They’re like his version of blackshirts but much better armed.

Not that I’m saying you agree or disagree to any of those individually. But, I hope I can help better demonstrate some of the parallels that the article did.

But yeah, once again the American CIA created a monster and the rest of the world has to deal with it. America is a rouge intelligence agency, with a country attached to it.

Edit: sorry for the rant. I just kept going. Thought it might interest someone.

Just because I voted for the leopards eating people’s faces party, it doesn’t mean that I voted for any leopards to eat anyones faces okay?

I feel like you missed step one there, mate.

100% and I can’t imagine the effect of basic training and what you learned there being forgotten until long afterwards.

In the British army, even regular non-guardsman, infantry will usually parade into towns. They love a bit on pomp and ceremony. For example, even now regiments like the black watch regiment would be bagpipes bearing, marching in perfect unison into some place and then roll off to war.

They didn’t want to be there and their imo their COs didn’t want to kick off at them in front of the cameras.

As another British person, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture and I came here specially to make the same comment you did.

I know right? Who do these people think they are, shareholders?

Thats crazy because rich people keep telling me low tax on them funds growth and helps everyone.

I mean, why would rich people lie?

Nice one, what you did there was remove the idea of death from a future abstraction that could happen at any second and moved it into the present moment which made you aware of the lack of imminent present danger, calming your anxiety.

It’s kind of a rough and ready but, respectable go at unguided Zen. Mindfulness is just the parts of Zen that are backed by imperial evidence, repackaged for a western audience.

We don’t have the right word for it in English. It’s not a religion and it’s not really a philosophy either, in the way we mean it here. It’s not a modle to understand the world or a moral framework to be put to the test etc. It’s by far the closest word though.

It’s kind of a way of trying to experience the life, be more present and more spontaneous. The Spiritual stuff isn’t meant to be taken even slightly literally but, as representations of things.

I think you might find even more peace adding in some of that.

Nice, something like “the halfling Arms” could work well. “The old green troll” too.

The real winning is the love we have for each other and the moments we share together.

Thanks Jesus!

The old internet was like the wild west. Who’d have thought it would meet a similar fate to it too?

For sure, the future of war is drone directed artillery.

More so, they wouldn’t even need to all that. Just surround them, turn of the water supply and wait for them the surrender when they get thirsty enough.

I’d say we already are under authoritarian regimes. It’s just that we, collectively, don’t resist it. So, they dont need to be that way. Fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no to capitalism.

Say goodbye to the old school, ergh, boring - I hate school!

Say HELLO to the patriot Mcschool of dreams, brought to you in association with Coca-Cola - to ensure your patriot Mcschool dreams have Real magic - providing children with the very best school-like experience and for prices lower than you’d expect.

There’s only one superpower now.

How else am I supposed to get rid of the agar huh?

Sales tax as well as VAT are also, by design, regressive taxes.

We turned the planet into a human labour farm.

That’s the same thing though.

The phrase is more of an indication of a lack of hostility on their part. Even something neutral like “what country is that” could come across as a bit confrontational, in English. It would almost be like asking the question with an assumption that you can’t answer because it wasn’t correct when clearly it is and they would just like to find out more.

Theres a fair amount of performative politeness you have to go through to take the edges off of English. It’s not just fake-ness, as it can sometimes come across to non-native speakers. As I’m sure you know already, English is the a very information efficient amalgamation of 3 different languages. For example, some people find poetry and literature far more rich and descriptive in other languages. Due to it being particularly efficient at information exchange, it can also come across very blunt too.

Just thought you deserved a proper answer, with context, as you were kind enough to give one yourself.

Always have done. They just take time and, not that you’ve said otherwise, they’re not a magic bullet.
