Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

You don’t need to leak false information. If it is false, you are just making it up. So either it is a leak of truthful information or it is someone making something up.

There is a reason our heads are larger compared to our bodies than most animals, and it isn’t brain size. πŸ‘†See above. Heat dissipation is king. Lions are an exception because they hunt in prides, but all the other big cats are easy to hunt. Get them running and 10-15 miles later they are toast.

Large cats have almost zero endurance. If you get them running they start overheating quickly. After that it’s just a matter of time.

Why is it that when you disprove the conspiracies about the drones with the fact that it’s not aliens or Iran, the MAGAs get angry at you?

Shouldn’t you be happy they aren’t Iranian or alien? Do they really just wish chaos and destruction on us all? If so, what is so broken in them? Why so angry

It's as if every aspect of American society is deigned to encourage and facilitate the worst arbitrage situations so a small group of opportunists (criminals) can make immense profits. And worse it seems there's a pundit class whose only function is the blame the victims caught up in these schemes.

I already know in advance that a handful of people will complain about me posting a screenshot from The Emperor, but that is outweighed by the fact that I think people need to know about authoritarian threats. Sorry in advance to those who don’t want to know what’s happening.

Bullshit. If I had wanted power, I would have kept my mouth shut.

I preferred my conscience.
