So Hegseth is advocating for the bases named after traitorous confederate rebels to revert back to those names. Big props again to the 77 million idiots that voted for this. Every single one of them deserve the absolute worst things that can possibly happen to them every single day for the rest of their miserable lives. Yes let’s take off the name Cavazos that honors, and you’re not gonna believe this, an honest to God AMERICAN general that wasn’t a traitor and put back the name of a piece of racist trash currently burning in hell. That seems so very appropriate for this timeline. 

Burning in hell metaphorically, of course.

Maybe we should also name bases for Benedict Arnold and Iva Toguri D'Aquino

Oh no…I have always maintained that I have no ability to send anyone to anywhere in particular once they’ve left their mortal coil, BUT January 6th and this past election were my breaking point with millions of people we share a country with. They can ALL burn in hell for their vote and they can tell their fellow traitors how proud they are of them for all eternity once they get there. I won’t accept any longer that I call myself a Christian and the there are all of these idiots who are disseminating a false version of my religion.

For anyone that believes there’s nothing after we kick the bucket you’re always cool with me. I will never, ever put someone down for not believing like I do. Some of the kindest people I have met in my travels are Muslims and people who don’t want any form of religion in their life. My mom would be one of those people. She just believes in treating everyone with dignity and respect. Religion never has played any role in her life and she’s my role model for how to treat others.

Something, something who cares what the price of eggs are just so long as they are allowed to call people whatever derogatory names they want because their orange god king says it’s okay. If he said eggs are 30 dollars for a dozen, but you can say whatever you want because hate crimes no longer exist, well, I think you know how that would be received.

  1. Hundred of thousands of trained clinical people worldwide are working on cures and vaccines to keep people safe.  They use scientific studies, methods and peer review to validate their findings.
  2. Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan did some research online

I think i'm going to have to go with #2

Mel Gibson said Kamala Harris “Has the IQ of a fencepost.” He voted for the orange traitor. 

Joe Rogan voted for the guy that 5 out of 5 white trash racists also voted for. These are inherently stupid people. They are dangerously stupid people because they are disseminating their unscientific thoughts to millions of rubes who can’t count to potato. 
 

The following is kind of how I feel towards, oh let’s just say, 77 million plus buffoons.

This is good. Smaller lines at the doctors office. More supply of life saving vaccines and drugs for the rest of us. 2/3 of the US wanted Idiocy. Let them have it. Ivermectin for them all and polio for their kids (which I heard can be cured by ivermectin).

I agree with you, but assuming it happens (which I do) I can’t wait to go back to doing what I did before: telling no-nothing southern heritage types that the biggest “fuck-you” from the north to the south was sticking army bases in Texas and North Carolina and naming them after incompetent losers like John Bell Hood and Braxton fucking Bragg. It’s like Texas building a training facility in Oklahoma and naming it after John Blake.

Well in the case of vaccines, it’s not good at all. We are not in short supply of vaccines, so it does not free up more for the rest of us. As vaccination rates in the population decline, depending on the disease, we start to lose herd immunity. Then, even the responsible vaccinated people are at higher risk of contracting the disease from the unvaccinated people around them.

Joe Rogan is a problem for spreading misinformation, but I’m more worried about RFK. He could roll back public health decades.

I feel liberated.

I'm so sick of these techtards and bros thinking the rules don't apply to them.

 

They (and many, many more) have a pretty good role model that will be taking an oath next Monday.  They look at him and think "shit, why didn't I think of that?''

It's worth considering (and maybe this is intersecting in the other thread about health insurance and Luigi/UHC) that there is a profit-motive for vaccinations and one should be at least somewhat skeptical anytime someone stands to profit off you (IMO).

 

Which, to wit, Moderna's stock plummted yesterday after restating their guidance of sales forecast by over $1 billion dollars. ETA link: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/13/moderna-lowers-2025-sales-forecast.html

 

To me, I'm no going to be watching if Moderna tries some "oh you need this vaccine now for XYZ" because their shareholders are going to invent reasons for boosters, seasonal vaccinations, etc.

 

I hope that's not the case, but it's still worth at least making yourself aware of the economic relationship.

I love how we should be suspicious of anything that might make money, so the solution is that we should place all of our trust in.....a cadre of nakedly corrupt and self-interested billionaires.

 

This timeline is fucking absurd.

Billionaire's should arise the MOST suspicion, using that logic though, right? I think so-- never trust the billionaire's man. "Behind every great fortune is a great crime, or something like that." - Batman, probably.

 

ETA because I googled it and AI did the work for me:

 

“Behind every great fortune there is a great crime” is a quote often attributed to French novelist Honoré de Balzac. However, the quote may have originated from a paraphrase in The Oil Barons: Men of Greed and Grandeur by Richard O'Connor. 

 

Explanation

The quote suggests that all wealthy people have achieved their success through illegal or unethical means. However, many people achieve wealth through hard work, innovation, and ethical business practices.

 

Origin

The full quote from Balzac is, “Le secret des grandes fortunes sans cause apparente est un crime oublié, parce qu'il a été proprement fait”. This translates to “The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed”. 

 

Appearance in other works

The quote appears in Mario Puzo's 1969 novel The Godfather, which tells the story of a Mafia family.

you have millions if not billions of dollars, power, unfettered access to the most luxurious pleasures in the world...

and you are relieved you can finally call someone a 'pussy retard' again, to the extent that it's what you mention in an interview. 

i just...wow. humans are sick fucks. we deserve absolutely everything that is coming.

i bought a copy of Brave New World a few months ago. im ready for some soma.

It really is truly terrible logic. We've gone through a period where people's legacies have been tarnished because things they said decades ago (when those things were considered perfectly acceptable by most), and now they perceive a reprieve in that. Surely it'll last forever, right? No way that comes back to bite anybody in the ass for saying those things at a time when at least a significant portion of the country, if not the majority, consider them inappropriate and offensive. Good luck with that!

no, we deserve for bad shit to start happening to the right people. that's what we deserve. there are plenty of us that have been fighting the good fight for a long time that don't deserve to be brought down with these cretins

It’s not that detailed.
We have made it okay - nay, laudatory - to be a mean asshole again. That’s it. MAGA means it’s good and right to be a fucking asshole to people…but only those weaker than you. If you aren’t punching down, why are you punching at all?
It’s an endorsement of the very worst of our nature, and elevating it to be admired.
If you call someone a pussy, retard, faggot, spic, n—-er, you are an American hero, demonstrating the very best of what it is to be an American.
What’s bad is actually good, and what’s good (acknowledging the existence of others and treating them with a modicum of decency and kindness) is bad - it’s “the woke mind virus.”
Thank God, America is safe for mean and angry white males again.

Duties are already collected and paid by the freight brokers that bill importers. Those costs get passed right on down the line to the end user. So, the department of redundancy is already failing again.

Hey…I’ve got an idea…what if, in order to respond to armed, military threats, we created a brand new entity. They would have weapons, and would be trained to fight our enemies. I would call it “The US Army.” All I ask is that the history books note me as the originator of this brilliant idea.
These idiots have zero idea how any government works. They never wanted to. They just want to get praise from morons, and profit from the enterprise.

The whole Andreesen interview is really bizarre. It starts off with him presenting what he says is the deal for tech bros. Which is that they invent something, get filthy rich go to all the best parties, and then give all their money away to charity. He said that his outlook on this started change when Zuckerberg said that he would give all his money to charity and everybody came out and poo-pooed it. But of course much of that just has to do with who Zuckerberg is. Everyone hates the guy. In large part because everyone has watched what Facebook has done to their family members. And yes, some of us are starting to figure out that having a charity that you donate all your money to and then your descendants control and remain filthy rich for generations isn't quite as charitable as those of us scratching off a check for $100 to United Way or the Red Cross or helping with the soup kitchen. And if you think you'll automatically get plaudits from conservatives, I present Bill Gates.

 

His next break was Biden appointing big tech sceptics to the FTC and SEC. I guess as a coin bro, he's just constitutionally disinclined to regulation by the SEC, but Sam Bankman isn't the first asshole out there and won't be the last. IIRC, the people who actually run Coinbase (which Andreesen funded) want regulation.

 

The final straw was a meeting between the Biden admin and big tech execs regarding AI which Andreesen characterized as the government wanting control. Per the NYT, Sam Altman had a somewhat different recollection of the meeting. So who knows exactly what happened. But I know that if you're looking for a boogeyman you're likely to find one.

 

And let's not forget it wasn't that long ago that conservatives wanted to axe section 230 entirely and also require platforms to host their speech.

 

All this led to his little tech manifesto. That someone needs to defend little tech and the startup from government, which is stifling innovation through regulation.

 

But part of me wants to slap him and remind him what happened to him when he was little tech: big tech gave away its competing product, which it used its deep pockets generated from other business to improve until its product was better than his product, and used its network of clients and suppliers to make its product the default on end-users' computers. Little tech's biggest threat isn't government . It's big tech.

 

So maybe he's forgotten that lesson. But I guess he was insulated from that when AOL decided to burn $10 billion on Netscape in 1998. So maybe that's a lesson he never learned.

 

Or maybe it's that he learned a different lesson. Founders and funders usually don't get paid through IPOs. They usually get paid by a big tech incumbent buying their startup. Looked at another way, government increasingly scrutinizing mergers and buyouts (think: the government opposing Facebook's purchase of Instagram instead of doing nothing) damages little tech not by regulating it directly, but by putting obstacles in the path of its major source of getting paid.

 

Looked at in this light, Andreesen's manifesto and turn to Trump isn't a principled stand for the little guy. It is a cynical attempt at covering his own interest as a VC funder in getting paid.

That’s exactly it. I learned working in Austin in the late 90s that most VC and founders didn’t want to actually build something long-term. They wanted to build something significant enough to attract the attention of a larger player and get bought. It’s essentially a lottery for the rich. Lina Khan’s actions at the FTC have scared those guys significantly.

Also Andreesen seemed mostly upset that the  plebeians weren’t saying thank you enough for providing some crumbs from your table.
