Long term enshitification is a feature of our capitalistic way of thinking. i/e never thinking beyond the next financial quarter.

Edit - And that is why we will 100% lose to China. Central planning will always outperform market chaos. Literally 100% of the time. Better, faster, cheaper. They plan ahead. They look ahead decades. We look ahead only 1 quarter. Just 1. They’ll make 5 year plans and be very public about it to attract VC money to the rugpull. But 1 bad quarter and the whole enterprise is parted out and sold off to the highest bidder.

Can’t wait for some serbian hacker with Xx69 in their name multiple times to destroy the US government because one of Elon’s script kiddies left 42,069 security holes in the fucking system.

Gonna be awesome. lmao.

Doubled down hard. But it’s ok. We’re getting ours now. We’re looking great on the financial markets. But it’s all collapsing internally. Infrastructure. People are going hungry. Millions homeless because Private Equity decided it wanted to own literally all the houses and turn them all into rentals that are unaffordable for most people. Between climate change and racism we’re months away from supply chain failures when it comes to food. On top of that AI is putting whole industries worth of people out of work. All with no safety nets whatsoever. Just this ingrained nonsensical idea that “Poverty is a choice”.

We’re at the state of late stage capitalism where the system cannibalizes itself.

I love that for them. After all the dancing and cheering as they did worse to the Palestinians. Music festivals. Beach trips and parties.

Good for them.

Clearly that is a great idea. As evidenced by recent events.

Iran will have nukes. They don’t have a choice. Not anymore. It’s existentialism at this point. Israel has been trying to engineer a war against Iran for more than 30 years. All the while Iran has played along. IAEA inspectors and all that good shit. And it was all for nothing. Iran knows that now. So does everyone else.

If you’re an adversary to the US and its Imperial interests then its a matter of when, not if. Doesn’t matter if or how closely you follow their rules. They will come for you in time.

Pakistan already played spades. Told Israel they would use theirs if Israel uses one on Iran.

If anyone does. It’ll be Nosferatu. All to cover his own ass. Because once he’s out as pres he’s going to jail for a loooot of corruption apparently.

Can’t win a ground war. And they know it. Hence the 30 air tankers. Gonna be another shock and awe air campaign. Except half of the middle east or more will be taking part.

Guess its time for the US to lose another war. We haven’t won one since the Soviets won WWII for us.

It’s wanted. By the loan industry. It isn’t necessary.

That is the conventional wisdom. Wisdom written by people with nukes who can’t stop bullying everyone else.

I only buy cheap shit. And I never, ever, ever ever ever connect anything to the net that doesn’t absolutely need to be connected.

If I need an air fryer and the cheap one has smart shit on it. I will never connect that shit to the net. Never. Why the fuck would I? It’s an air fryer. Not a laptop.

Iran needs nukes to defend itself from a nuclear armed aggressor. Everyone needs nukes for that reason. Greenland needs nukes to protect itself from the US.

Why not neither?

Lets get rid of our credit scores and the racism, abuse, and good-ole-boy advantage.

None of it is necessary. None of it is needed.

Fuck credit scores. I am older than credit scores.

Not tossing a couple grenades into his pope box was a failing that our military may never live down.

Zero risk. Would have become a hero.

By leaving it at home.

For that matter, the successful assassination of JFK didn’t stop Johnson from handling Vietnam so poorly, and didn’t stop Nixon from being Nixon to begin with.

Operation Northwoods.
