  • People are right to say Dems are different when it comes to domestic policy, but they agree with Republicans on almost all foreign policy decisions. A significant portion of the criticisms Democrat representatives made of the recent Iran bombings amounted to, “Hey, you didn’t give us a chance to agree wholeheartedly!”

    And most of this “slide into fascism” is just taking foreign policies and applying them domestically. In that sense, Democrats hold a lot of the blame as well.


  • Lighting is usually a good giveaway.

    Take this alpaca(?). Standing outside, casting a relatively clear shadow, and yet still mostly lit uniformly. The background doesn’t necessarily contradict where the sun is supposed to be, but it also doesn’t seem give any support to it either.


  • There was a bit of a moment after the USSR dissolved where the US was just kinda spinning its wheels without any clear purpose. We still had all the institutions for weapons manufacturing, intelligence gathering, financial strong-arming – they were still doing their thing, but without an overall narrative to give a unified sense of purpose.

    You can almost imagine 9/11 being somewhat of a relief – like, oh thank god a clear external enemy, now we don’t have to struggle justifying our continued existence. And, of course, now our leaders can’t agree on weather we’re in existential conflict with Russia or China or both. This go round, we are the crumbling gerontocracy.

    You’re talking about interacting with people on a real level, but you are doing it over the internet. You actually want to make a change? It starts offline.

    Also, this is an overall post about how Israel demands international law protect them while binding anyone they choose to bomb. Democrats, actual party officials and leadership, agree with those demands just as much as Republicans.
