Huh… Yeah, that makes sense.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I think you dropped this: .com.ru

Ignore it all you like, sadly it will affect you too

I mean, some of them knew it was coming and lost their phones, but I don’t find it too surprising. Are you really going to risk serious consequences because you got activated when you shouldn’t have been?

Report for duty and let your chain of command fight it out. It’s not up to the guard members to work out the legality of their deployment

Now, if they start telling you to perform violence on civilians, that’s when you can take a stand and refuse orders. And so far, that hasn’t happened

I think they’re doing well. I haven’t seen them raise a finger to the protesters, they just stand there in a line calmly. The protesters are great with them too, they just keep yelling “you should be over here with us”. And with any luck, the courts will give them back to the governor so they can go home before they have to make a hard choice

I never said white genocide. That’s the problem here - you’re talking just like a fascist, but from a position of the oppressed. Which is to say, you’re talking just like a fascist

You’re talking about taking the land (soil) back for the indigenous people (blood). You’re not talking about benefiting people. You’re not talking about fixing problems and making life better.

Just taking. Take our county back. Take our land back. Drive out the invaders. Sound familiar?

The thought “white genocide” genuinely never crossed my mind in all of this. Because I’m not a fascist. I just know when you combine racial lines and fascism, you’re talking ethno-state, which always means genocide. In this case, who gets genocided? Everyone but the in-group, starting with the most disadvantaged and physically identifiable and working inwards from there.

Instead I think of just people, all living in an oppressive system. I don’t care that some are less oppressed, I don’t care about what was taken from people generations ago or who “deserves” the land. I care about reducing the oppression. Human dignity.

Not what we can take, what we can give and what must be taken to give that to the people. All the people.

You’re framing this just like the Nazis do, it doesn’t matter if you flip the “in group” to be a minority or more oppressed group. You’re still using the same framework, which there is a descriptive term for: Fascism

A reverse Nazi is still a Nazi.

You want to talk about freedom and autonomy? You want to talk about resistance, breaking chains, freeing people from exploitation? You want to talk about the West and the oppression of uncontrolled capitalism? I’m all for that.

You want to bring race into it, talk about the true owners of the land and the invaders? That sounds a lot like blood and soil to me.

People live where they live. Trying to build an ethno-state is always going to eventually lead to genocide. And you’re really dancing around that idea hard, just like the far right did before they went full mask off… You’re not saying it, just asking questions, right?

Don’t frame this by race. If you can’t frame this in the context of human dignity, you’re just pushing another flavor of sparkling fascism

Wdym? These pictures are going to go down in history. Why would they want to avoid their natural place in the history books?

I mean… It’s a tech demo for palantir too I bet, Lockheed is showing off for the public but palantir is going to show off what they gathered on the public

I got a temp ban on that subreddit once for saying that while the man in the story was clearly the asshole, the woman (op) was overly confrontational and made the situation so much worse than it had to be

I’m going to skip the Italy bit and jump to Trump.

Trump has been a fake all his life. He took a real estate empire and managed to develop it into a smaller real estate empire.

He called the news under fake names to talk himself up. He convinced Forbes he was a billionaire to get the label, but it’s very debatable if he ever got to that point

Until now. He is actually a billionaire now. He’s also a convicted felon. He’s the most powerful man in the world, but his brain is soup now, so he actually is just a voice for whoever spoke to him last

He wants to be feared and respected, but even at the climax of his power he’s still being mocked to his face

Yes, Trump hasn’t faced “justice”, but justice was always a lie. From my perspective, he made a monkey paw wish. He’s got everything he ever wanted, but I think it’ll all taste like ashes in his mouth

Not like that helps the rest of us, but it is satisfying to watch up close

Like most things, it hasn’t been done through the correct channels. I think Trump signed a few orders (with only some of the words from the leaked list), and then his staff occasionally orders an office to drop everything and ensure they’re newspeak compliant

I do know removing anything except male/female from the gender drop down boxes was a big push, the white house website is getting a lot scrubbed, but it’s all very inconsistently applied and disorganized

But like… What if you team up with the Nazis, and just compromise with them? I bet that goes over really well historically

No, they use it correctly

It is woke to think for yourself. Woke means awake, like self aware and able to see through the bullshit

They’ve always used the word correctly… Woke means someone who didn’t believe their words at face value

It’s an anti-dating simulator… Kind of like an anti-joke or an anti-game, they’re subcategories of jokes and games

If you invert the game mechanic, you’re still using the mechanic. That’s very different from not using the mechanic

We live in a crazy society with every moment regimented. Every inch of land “belongs” to someone, you have to do endless paperwork just to be allowed to live. You almost can’t even have hobbies unless someone is making money off it

The way I see it, if we fix the world then technology will continue to leap forward. Then in 70 years or so I’ll take a couple decades to completely dedicate myself to raising children, hopefully in a healthy world full of life

If not, I’m not dragging anyone else into this mess.

Then let’s apply this post. Here’s your steps:

Tune the guitar. Tuna is an app that will make it help, there’s hundreds or physical tuners. This will take between 3 and 20 minutes

Look up tabs for a song. Wonderwall or zombies by the cranberries are very easy to learn

Do the finger positions and strum them. Focus on the transitions between fret positions. Do you for 10-20 minutes

Listen to the song, over and over. You can put it at half speed, but after you feel you know it in your bones start to play along. Focus on the strumming pattern and making the notes ring clear… It’ll be rough at first but keep at it. This could take 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on your standards

And if this works, let me know. I’m self taught on the guitar with ADHD… My brother taught me the basics, and then I hyper focus on certain songs now and again. I’m not particularly good, but I can learn anything on any stringed instrument if I hyper focus on it

They’re not, they’re lawful evil. Everything they do, everything they support, every last word that comes out of that place is carefully sculpted to cause suffering. If it seems like it might be ok, or even good, dig deeper - it’s always horrible

But they’re the opposite of terrorists - they don’t disrupt order to meet political goals, they corrupt the law to bury the mass murder under layers of buracracy

I think they’re trying to explain how this works in a dating sim.

This isn’t the first game to do it… Instead of trying to weave through the choices to date a character or characters, you weave through the options to avoid dating without getting a game over (or whatever game mechanic they use)

Hard to sell secrets when you keep leaking them for free too

It’s probably related to our complete inability to keep secrets secret right now
