I guess it's still gotta go through congress? Call your rep. Adding it to my list of shit to call about.
Idk... I am so mad at my asshole boomer in-laws, my shitty clueless friends (predominantly white but not completely), and even my partner and his bro friends that I'm just like... whatever. I think it needs to fall hard. These people are beyond rescuing. I am so sick of everyone. I don't wish ill will on the rest of us, though. I've just run out of empathy for the majority.
Neat. Need it in Cali.
"Democratic strategist Steve Schale, who served as the director of the pro-Biden super PAC Unite the Country, attributed some of the donor reluctance to fatigue, which he said happens after every election."
Fuck this guy in particular.
He worked with the nazi party in January?! smfh. I grew up in Bavaria and am surprised to see they're not AfD. Maybe not. I guess I'm not surprised to see the part of .DE closer to Putin hell hole (also ex-communist) is the blue nazi.
Also... "Crime and immigration, street bullying, the soaring cost of housing and fears of military conscription if Germany goes to war are all issues driving younger Germans away from the centre."
YEP! Better vote harder in your worst interest. Humans are a mess.
Ahh yes, Trevor. The name suits the judge well.
Would've been great if instead of the fall of the USSR, it was the breaking up of Russia all together.
It must suck living so close to Russia. It already sucks living one ocean over from it.

These "other" attacks always crop up right before elections. It happened in the US recently, too. Like clockwork.
I was reading a lot of the homophobia in African countries is a white xtian import.
Historically, just being vocally disapproving is helpful. A huge part of gleichschaltung is normalizing atrocity starting with basic shit before moving into killings.
It does but I look at other dictatorships that allow their citizens to own guns like Russia and Nicaragua. They're still entrenched even with guns. The only difference I can see is the towns have defense against paramilitary and aren't dealing with M23. But they're still entrenched.

In elaborating this critique, Todd is among the few European intellectuals to echo a diagnosis of technological stagnation similar to those of Americans such as Robert Gordon, Peter Thiel, and Tyler Cowen. The extraordinary development of information technology should have sparked a Promethean sense...
archive link: https://archive.ph/4XuVz Long read so here's a summary:
The Ukraine War has revealed several surprises:
War returned to Europe despite expectations of permanent peace The conflict primarily involves the US and Russia rather than European powers Ukraine showed unexpected resilience Russia demonstrated economic resilience against sanctions Europe showed geopolitical and economic passivity
According to Todd, the European Union's problems stem from the Maastricht Treaty, which:
Led to deindustrialization Created a quasi-religious faith in the euro Resulted in loss of national sovereignty Produced political passivity and resignation among citizens Encouraged elites to reject nationalism in favor of "Europeanism"
On the United States, Todd argues:
America has transitioned from world's factory to world's largest consumer The US is losing its technological edge to China in several areas The dollar's global dominance may be threatened by BRICS expansion and de-dollarization efforts American education is declining, particularly in STEM fields The decline of Protestantism has removed the moral center of American power
Todd's analysis of Western decline includes several factors:
The rise of neoliberalism has led to destruction of industries and social structures Educational regression in the West Loss of industrial capacity Increasing inequality and social atomization Technology stagnation outside of IT
The reviewer notes that Todd's main weakness is excessive pessimism that may overlook possibilities for renewal and adaptation in an uncertain era. This 2024 book appears to synthesize Todd's long-standing contrarian views about Western decline, particularly focusing on how the Ukraine war has exposed underlying weaknesses in Western economic and political systems.
President Trump has pressed pause on helping clear unexploded bombs, many of which were dropped by the US in the Vietnam war.

Gender Gap: This is the state of work for women in 2024
>The advancement of women at work is good for everyone. Closing gender gaps in areas such as employment and entrepreneurship could increase global gross domestic product by 20%, the World Bank calculates.
>And while there’s a way to go – at current rates, it could take five generations or 134 years to achieve gender parity worldwide, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2024 – there are signs of post-pandemic recovery in economies and labour markets.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half.

How regime change happens in America
>Others will decide to cooperate with the new regime—collaborating, in effect, with an illegal assault, but out of patriotism. Much like the Ukrainian scientists who have kept the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant going under Russian occupation because they fear catastrophe if they leave, some tech experts who work on America’s payment systems and databases have stayed in place even as Musk’s team of very young, very inexperienced engineers has demanded illegitimate access. “Going into these systems without an in-depth understanding of how they work both individually and interconnectedly is a recipe for disaster that will result in death and economic harm to our nation,” one government employee told my Atlantic colleagues Charlie Warzel and Ian Bogost.
>Eventually, though, if the assault on the civil service is not blocked, the heroes and the patriots will disappear. They will be fired, or denied access to the tools they need to work, or frightened by the smear campaigns. They will be replaced by people who can pass the purity tests now required to get government jobs. Some will seem silly—are you willing to say “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico”?—and some will be deadly serious. Already, the Post reports, candidates for national-security posts in the new administration are being asked whether they accept Trump’s false claim to have won the 2020 election. At least two candidates for higher positions at the FBI were also asked to state who the “real patriots” were on January 6, 2021. This particular purity test is significant because it measures not just loyalty to Trump, but also whether federal employees are willing to repeat outright falsehoods—whether they are willing, in other words, to break the old civil-service ethos, which required people to make decisions based on objective realities, not myths or fictions.
