Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Everyone who rolled their eyes at “the gulf war didn’t happen” owe Baudrillard an apology

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich
A sprawling epic across 3 discs, our release of THE JAPANESE GODFATHER TRILOGY stars genre legends like Koji Tsuruta and Sonny Chiba and comes in a rigid slipcase with reversible sleeve artwork.

GET IT.
