Yep, Vance is in a way more dangerous than Trump. Trump might throw wrenches in the fascists’ plans by either blurting them out proudly thinking it was his idea or by being too afraid of being unpopular (which he is obviously obsessed with) and taking back some of the changes due to public pressure. Vance on the other hand will be just a hand puppet for Putin and/or Musk.
There are a lot of old people who vote CDU because “that’s what we have always done”. Many people don’t bother to read what the parties actually stand for. If they are told, they often don’t believe it. Same with protest voters choosing the fascist AfD “to show those corrupt politicians on top”. Meanwhile AfD is the most corrupt party of all, by far.
As a European, I would say a US president repeatedly theatening a EU country with invasion is already pretty serious in itself.
And speaking of MPAA, I can’t recommend the documentary “This film is not yet rated” enough. Delves into the origins of the MPAA and why a private company that is very secretive about its members has so much power in Hollywood.
Tale as old as capitalism.
Also, it garnered him “friendship” with Putin. I write friendship in apostrophes because these sociopaths are incapable of grasping the actual concept. Putin is useful to Musk and vice versa. And each thinks he has the advantage over the other. Same with Musk-Trump and Trump-Putin.
Yep, they’re hoping Trump will pressure the EU to get rid of their pesky consumer protections. They don’t even make any profits for billionaires!
Also reminds me of the lactokinetic in Misfits. He appeared harmless, but if you had consumed any dairy products that were still in your body, he could kill you instantly.
The foxes have been in the henhouse for a while. But now they don’t need to hide anymore. The American oligarchy can finally shed its masks and go full-on Russia 2.0.
Sounds like someone who suffered from serious abuse, never went to actual therapy in a meaningful way but instead got into a position of power where he could feel good by being the abuser instead of the abused. Which does not excuse any of it. On the contrary, his writing shows very clearly that he understands that what he did was wrong, but he did it regardless.
Another fun fact, billionaires and their lifestyles emmit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person in their lifetimes.
Fun fact: Under Hitler, while there was an economic boom (due to production switching to war preparation), wages fell on Great Depression levels and workers had to work a lot more hours. Germany was also deeply in debt, because most of this was financed by crazy lending from other countries, which Hitler had no intention of paying back.
Also, the ones that were profiting the most off of this were oligarchs.
