    nothing new, this was covered in Chalmers Johnson’s book Blowback for example, where eventually there will be “blowback”. He gives specific examples of the raping in Okinawa for example.

    https://studylib.net/doc/27812813/johnson---blowback--2004-

    https://bookwyrm.social/book/2020044/s/blowback

    He also “prophesied” something like 9/11 before it happened as blowback.

    As to women, Trump had majority support of white women.

    America is going through, or planning, a purge. They are testing loyalty, and loyalty right now in America is above everything. Like Mafia loyalty, you either have it or you can’t exist. The “can’t exist” part of the American loyalty story is probably coming after they get the data centers built and they will probably use the funding increase of ICE to do the whacking.

    It’s seems like this is really happening. The data center are being built for surveillance and profiling, not for chatgpt etc. there’s already been people complaining about all this type of shit for decades and we write them off. They aren’t building the data centers to test a new idea, they are building them because the beta testing is done.

    We are all in a game of chess. Understand psychology, marketing, crime, politics, and the underworld, and how they are all intertwined and utilized by the dark side of humanity. Voting and left and right politics probably isn’t going to make real changes.

        This needs to be thrown in Americans faces more, I don’t give a Fuck about their protests and neither does their admin, you need to start hitting them if you want to actually get anywhere.

          You can buy a plane ticket just as easily as any American, why don’t you fly out to D.C. and show them how it’s done? Just hit them and get somewhere!

          Don’t be shy!

            Not my country not my fight. And I’m not a citizen so I would have more of an ice issue. And I’m never setting foot in that shithole of a country ever again and trying to distance myself from American companies.

              Ahem Citizen, we assume you still stand with the country we tell you to?

            Cuz of what happen in the airport the other day I don’t think so, also I don’t need American media and do not want Donald justifying reasons to target my country when my country is actually making all the right moves right now.

                Sounds more like you don’t understand nuance and responsibility, your country (I’m assuming your an American) doesn’t understand what it take to defend your own democracy, my country does and that’s why we never elected an authoritarian and don’t need radical action, your country is not my responsibility. you want that authoritarian gone, Look in a history book and see what you need to do. Or you can just say something snarky and just continue not taking responsibility for your future. Ostrich

                  So nuance is telling people you don’t give a fuck about their protests and implying you want them to throw their body at a fascist regime? How did that work for Alex Pretti and Renee Good? How about George Floyd and Philando Castile who were just trying to live their lives? The only reason you give a shit about any of this is because now it’s affecting you.

                  Or you can just say something snarky and just continue not taking responsibility for your future.

                  Wow talk about the pot calling the kettle black haha.

        1. Whine about RAM prices that prevent me from having the latest version of noise and flashing lights piped right to my brain.

        2. Buying $30 worth of solar panels to prepare for total societal collapse. Walmart will still be open, right?

        3. Performative outrage.

    oh the same guy who cheated on the mother of his 4 children with a 25-year old staffer?

    Yeah this guy 100% has sexually assaulted women in the past. Just like the pedophile rapist in the white house he can’t stop boot-licking for. No wonder he finds it so amusing.

    Never mind that our brave women in the military are more likely to be raped and killed by their fellow service-members than enemy combatants.

    “Port calls, women in Asia,” he continued, chuckling, “you better be careful! Because these guys are gonna be wild animals and you better watch out!” He tried to hold a stern look and then started laughing.

    Haha, remember comfort women guys!? haha!

        Famously, this Fox News host got to know his much younger wife while she was a producer at Fox by letting the air out of her car tires and then offering her a ride home. He was married at the time. I say famously because he likes to tell this story during his nationally viewed show as if it were a meet-cute.

        It’s not surprising he would be comfortable publicly joking about mass rape.

          Ironically his mom is a liberal (or leftist, dunno but she’s certainly not a conservative) and told him not to do… Basically this on a call love on air
