I think we often underestimate their willingness to make money any way possible. This is why there should be no billionaires.

You make millions on movements I guess. When everything is stable, there's little money to make. All you need is some advance knowledge of how things will go and to not care about anyone else.

In the 1997 dystopian scifi film Gattaca, rapid DNA testing is used to determine social class and job eligibility. In 2026 UK, women wanting to participate in athletics must pay a Β£185 gender tax to take part in a genetic lottery where some will be ineligble due to previously unknown chromosones.

The irony of this is that it makes cars breaking red lights a more pervasive issue than cyclists doing the same thing wherever it's counted, but this doesn't stop drivers from acting like they don't do this literally all the time.

At this stage, with what we know now, it's hard to imagine that he was even thinking of those weapons. It really seems like joining the Israelis to decapitate the state was too attractive an opportunity for him to miss.

Assuming true, it feels like a remarkable admission of weakness that the option of preventing an Israeli attack was apparently not on the table...

We're straw-manning this a bit. What I understand them to be bothered about isn't walkable distances, it's that they'll be penned into areas like some of the Covid lockdowns. It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory but there's no value in not explaining what the conspiracy is.

Less than 2 months ago EU leaders were insisting on strategic independence from an increasingly aggressive US demanding territorial expansion in Greenland. Now, they're tripping over their heels to join that US in an illegal war of aggression and regime change. What weak cowards with short memories.

Even by Trump's standards, this is chilling; it's aimed at everybody, not exclusively Iran.

The point is they want these people killed, not displaced

I’m no political expert, but I think Keir Starmer may have gone a bit far in that letter by calling the Green Party a β€œbunch of cunts”.

This is why they keep claiming the victor cheated. It's more palatable than the idea everyone has recognised that they're ignorant sacks of shit...

What else is there to say but: these people were warned and warned and warned again about this, going back well over ten years and further, and their constant response was: absolutely fuck you, you are all idiots and we are the smart, Sensible people whom understand what the public like and want.

This probably sounds very purist, but we shouldn't need the fear of being the eventual victims to stand up for human dignity...
