  1. Bingo. 1) If you wanted to script a scenario that encourages a dozen previously non-nuke-armed nations to get nukes, this would be it. 2) The likelihood of nuclear war goes up not with the number of nukes that exist, but rather the number of states who HAVE nukes. TLDR; We are on the exact right path to guarantee that a nuclear conflict is MORE likely, not less.
  2. This. Handing the regime fodder for victorious press releases is great business....more important than the actual business.
  3. The truth is even simpler. If you wanted to draft a plan for "how to create a Stasi here in the US," this would be a critical step.
  4. There are 100% going to be armed FBI raids, with flashbang grenades and all the party tricks, on quinceaneras, university classrooms teaching "subversive anti-state propaganda" like....that the Civil War happened, and shit like that. If you want to know how you create a fully weaponized gestapo and/or Stasi, this is how you create a gestapo/Stasi.
  5. That is a fantastic analogy (and an important one from both ends/perspectives -- see books like Toxic Charity). Empathy is important. It's beyond important, it's essential to functioning societies, and we have turned 180 degrees away from it. But as a companion to empathy is the humility to realize and accept that sometimes, your experience/perspective absolutely prevent you from even starting to understand the perspective/needs of others. Which is FINE. What you have to do then is accept the word/wisdom from people who DO have the perspective and ability to understand the subject matter. And that humility is hard, because when you're amped up on empathy, you want to save the world. Letting the adrenaline subside, and realizing that you can't is really important. And our two-way insanity of projecting our perspective onto billionaires ("they want to help us...because if I was a billionaire tomorrow, that's what I'd do!" is as insane as billionaires telling people "hey, if times are hard, sell a piece art!") is killing us.
  6. Those who shout out against the regime will be shut up. Quickly and firmly. And if they don't get the message, permanently.
  7. If they bother to gather and demonstrate to the level of even APPROACHING being a threat, they'll be mowed down, by Brownshirt Troops given full immunity for their actions. So, what's the next foolish hope you have?
  8. No. Hope is poison. You know that.
  9. In fairness, one of my old man's high school buddies worked his whole career at Tinker. We would periodically visit them at their home in Moore. I enjoyed those visits very, very much, because dad's buddy had a daughter a year older than me who was a ridiculously attractive brunette with very large attention-getting.....things that got Brisket's attention. Brisket had it bad for her, for many years. Brisket has since learned that yes, she is an okie through and through, she is a single mom, lives on gov't assistance, and moved back in with her folks. And, per my dad based on his last visit there, she looked like hell. 50 okie years is like 90 regular years, I think.
  10. Man. You're smart. You've been paying attention. You KNOW that there is no such thing as "a bridge too far." Nothing. Nada. Zilch. We have completely capitulated and acquiesced. Nothing will change the path of those in power now -- they will do whatever they want, to whoever they want, with 100% impunity at the ballot box or otherwise.
  11. Dude. Big Pharma is irrelevant. E.g., Pfizer's market cap is 150 billion. Elon is worth 440 billion. Bezos is worth 230 billion. Putin is worth over 200 billion. Oligarchs run the show. Big Pharma, and everyone else, will sit on the sidelines and do what they're told, or else face extinction-level action from the wholly-owned government of the United States.
  12. If "Dallas" was a single photograph.....
  13. This. We'll mail everyone Ivermectin (sold to the government at a 500% markup through a subsidiary of Elon's), bleach, and some crystals, and say "problem solved."
  14. No, they'll happily take your money. Remember, human beings are solely sources of additional dollars to be extracted. But they take that role very, very seriously -- if there's a dollar in Paul Poorboy's pocket they can vacuum out, they'll break out the Dyson toot sweet.
  15. "1/4" You mistyped "100%." Now, it's POSSIBLE that some fraction....maybe as LARGE as 1/4....will have a requirement that public access be allowed....for a sizable fee....to be paid to the new private owner. So, you may still be able to access the Yosemite valley floor.....for the low, low price of $99.99 a head, paid to "ElonFunAmericaExtremeHardcore Parks Inc."
  16. From what I've seen, we'll go quietly into the abyss, staring at our phones while we play Candy Crush or some shit.
  17. Ummm.....Jellystone, Central, and Comiskey. SUCK IT, LIBTARD!
  18. Don't know if I had the vaccine in the 70s or not. But in the late 80s, when I was living on campus, there was a measles case in Moore Hill (where I lived). UT immediately set up a table in the lobby, and required us all to get a vaccine/booster. I did so, and that was that.
  19. We've been mostly going without a whimper. That pattern will continue. Nothing changes until there is an army of Luigis. That's how these patterns work, throughout history.
  20. The plan on National Parks is transparent as hell: starve them of resources so they can call them a failure and a cost-sink, and the only way to "save them" is to open them to "private investment." TLDR; Trump and Elon 100% plan to sell off our national treasures to their butt buddies. Yosemite is going to be some billionaire's private "retreat," and the American people can get fucked.
  21. It's a viral illness. We saw this with COVID. Apparently, in this new century, the most common symptom of any viral illness is

    If Hines-Ike will be there, my wife will happily attend.
  23. Yep. Fuck the people of Yucca Valley. Every. Last. Fucking. One of them. They fucking voted for this. There was no secret, no hiding -- this is the agenda, this is what Trump and Elon TOLD THEM they were going to do. "I'm going to ram a nail-studded baseball bat up your asses, with no lube!" You vote for that. You don't get to come crying to me or anyone else when your fucking colon is being ripped to shreds by a grinning, bat-shoving Elon. You fucking wanted this. Fucking smile, you won, and are getting everything you dreamed of. No. Fucking. Sympathy. Lose your jobs, lose it all, end up on the streets. You wanted that to happen to OTHER people. So, you indicated you are fine with it. ENJOY!!!
  24. So, the boy is giving a chunk of change to the fundraiser chosen by his Ukrainian friend (yes, she's attractive, yes I blacked out her personal info because I don't need to be sending people to creep on my kid's friend's account). Her message: Commentary on same:
  25. Sure, but what about the measles-syphilis-chlamydia hybrid that is sure to arise once it gets into the stewpot that is Bobcat nation?
