After Trump publicly supported a Venezuelan coup in 2019, in 2020 Silvercorp, a US corporation, sent 60 soldiers to effect the coup. Elon tweeted “We coup who we want,” because he’s socially inept and his various business interests would benefit immensely from stolen lithium. The coup failed.
Maduro may be a villain. But, arresting colonizers isn’t why.
And, that’s exactly how we got so dumb.
Check out The Manufacturing of Consent. Or, if lighter reading is your thing, 1984.
The prolitariat doesn’t need the protection of governance from ideas. That’s how we get Nazis. Study your history.
King of teachers spouting false equivalence? We’re fucked.
Fortunately, feelings aren’t protected in the US. Hate speech can only be used to show intent in the commission of an actual crime.
Should’ve used the “fire in a theater” example with stochastic terrorism from a position of authority.
Why is it I need make your argument for you? Think about that one for awhile.
You want to deprive citizens of their constitutionally protected rights because you disagree with them, because you’ve defined them “enemies of the state”. You’re a nationalist fascist.
Good luck with that.
I don’t know why this is difficult.
Those pesky 1st and 4th amendments to the US Constitution. They apply to everyone, not just those you agree with.
There you go again caring about which political party takes credit. Repeating the same fallacy over and over again only works on idiots, meaning the vast majority of humanity. See: The Engineering of Consent (1947), The Manufacturing of Consent (1988).
Think more, reactionary. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even algebra.
Even mice can learn new things.
All this anti-third party logic fails as soon as the goal is outcomes regardless of which political party ends up taking credit. Just 5% of the GE puts another platform on every ballot in the next cycle. And, that immediately places immense pressure upon the duopoly.
It’s so simple there’s now a massive amount of state-sponsored propaganda trying to prevent too many from figuring it out.
How about you mind just your own bodily autonomy.
Gun owner here.
This shooter violated three of the four fundamental gun safety rules. That’s not an accident. It’s attempted murder.

That’s nice.
You shouldn’t expect me to waste time reading paragraphs after you’ve demonstrated your shallow understanding, kiddo.
You’ve invalidated my reasoning. Luckily, I can keep repeating my ageism.
Good luck with that, kiddo.
All the lukewarm attempts to help, rooted in shallow understanding, reinforced my suicidal ideation. What’s the value of false love from a paid hotline worker one will never speak to again? It’s negative.
Be ready to love the shit out of someone yourself. Share their sorrow. Don’t try to fix it. Just try to understand. It’ll fucking suck. The other person knows it sucks for you. Tell them it sucks and that you’re choosing it.
The US is the only NATO ally to maintain a bomber fleet. The role of the modern bomber is to deliver guided munitions and an air-launched nuclear deterrent.
Due to many deployments and the cost of repair and maintenance, the B-1 has been retired. There are roughly 20 B-2 Spirit’s in the fleet capable of delivering guided munitions. The B-52 Stratofortress can deliver guided munitions and is a platform for the Air-Launched Cruise Missile nuclear deterrent, to be replaced by the LRSO system in a few years. The B-21 Raider is expected to enter service around 2027 but much of capability and intent is classified.
While the last B-52 was manufactured in 1962 and the existing 72 airframes are expected to serve as at least the air-launched nuclear deterrent (LRSO) platform of the bomber fleet into perhaps the 2050’s, everything important has been redesigned and replaced: engines, nacelles, fire and launch control, and fuel system. It’s as if one gutted and remodeled a house, including replacing the exterior, some parts several times. The latest variant focuses on new engines, expected in a few years.
TL;DR Colonizers gonna’ colonize. And, knowing is half the battle. G.I. Jooooooe!
