Immigrant Penguin 🐧🏳️‍🌈

...all that knowledge that I had acquired and been tested on was, at a stroke, outdated, irrelevant, and worthless. It saddened me that everything that I had studied and had learned how it worked was now useless.

I feel the same way now about the United States.

When I was at university, some of the internat'l relations/polysci courses I took were about the USSR: how their system was designed (from local- to national-level structures, etc.), the rights/responsibilities in their constitution, and so forth.

Before I even graduated, the USSR dissolved and...

He can't even state his fascist meaning correctly. He doesn't mean "legal insurrection" (which could be interpreted as an oxymoron), he means "judicial insurrection", i.e. judges doing anything that doesn't further his agenda.

And to have a place outside of US civilian jurisdiction that can be used to disappear people

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

Their gleeful cruelty is why they're pushing the "empathy is a sin and bad and wrong" narrative; they want people to believe that reveling in cruelty is normal.

The vengeance was that plebes were allowed to eat, instead of being covered to biofuel

Oh, and Biden *didn't* do a fascism, and that was unforgivably mean to Yarvin's ideas and feelings, thus ‘vengeance’

[insert dramatic fainting couch gif here]

"The plebes can eat again instead of being turned into biofuel. 😢😠"

‘Failure’ from Yarvin's PoV, that is

Exactly
In the 2nd term (the 2nd revolution against The Cathedral) they're doing more of what Yarvin thinks is right (thus more successes), but still not enough to stifle the will/ability of the masses (which is why there will be a huge backlash at [or before] the end of the term) leading to failure

For those of you studying Spanish, that feeling that you feel right now – a combination of cringe and disgust and a small sense of pitying someone for how badly they've misread the situation – that is exactly what the term "pena ajena" is used for.

A quote from a post on Threads, by @ musing on the go: "Just had a conversation with a nice French couple who said the problem with American protests is that we schedule them one by one instead of showing up every night until the change happens."

If #PresidentMiller trended for a day or two he be out on his ass faster than steve bannon

It wouldn't do any good. He doesn't appear in mirrors.

We have allowed sociopaths and psychopaths to create a society in which only they can thrive.

not only is it illegal for the US government to mint coins with living people’s faces on them, but this is, one suspects, the exact scenario making it illegal for the US government to mint coins with living people’s faces on them was intended to prevent

He sighed and picked up the puncture repair kit.

"...because the point of educating Children is to train them to parrot their parents' and community's worldview and biases so that nothing ever changes."

The US will be going to war with Venezuela in order to:
• distract from the Epstein Files
• take their oil (which he thinks the US should have done in Iraq)
• have an excuse to say "We're at war! We can't have an election!"
• have a place outside US civilian jurisdiction to disappear people

An AI image of person covered entire in pieces of paper, leaving against a wall, while masked and stemmed ICE agents emerging from a black ICE van ignore them. One of the agents says "I don't see anything!" The caption says "Breaking News: Clever migrant wears Epstein files to hide from Trump Administration".

Yep, all they needed was one very stupid, senile old orange man. lacking mental faculties. Give him some fake gold to play with and dreams of grand ballrooms. Putin and Project 25 dreams! They found their man!
