I am standing on line for the Shinkansen and felt this deeply.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

SCOOP: several days ago Zohran Mamdani was overheard saying he "needs" to eat dinner. An inside source confirmed he had eaten breakfast and lunch that day, giving him an estimated 2+ weeks without additional calories before he might have died from starvation

Every video game is #NSFW unless your workplace is unbelievably chill.

I guess some people are playing Pokemon ZA, but I'll wait for Pokemon UM.

There are lots of oppressive authoritarian countries that don't draw the US' ire like Venezuela has for decades. Hungary, Singapore, Saudi Arabia. They are genrally willing to play ball with US empire, though.

We laugh at blarant agitprop, but this works on a lot of Americans. Vague associations and "fill in the blank" thinking is all it takes to demonize someone as a terrorist.

I must disagree here. It's not just the oil, it's also that a Venezuelan left-wing party exists in the American Empire's sphere of influence in defiance of attempts to prevent that. Same with US' eternal hate of Cuba and Iran. They spat in the US' face and the hegemon can't stand that.

This is the only hot take on this idiocy I can get behind. Kudos.

I have a coworker who calls himself a "proud centrist." He thinks invading Iraq was justified because of the invasion of Kuwait. He believes Venezuela has "a little mismanaged oil." He is an attorney. They think we're really stupid, and they're often right.

I wonder how many children the tattoo killed? Probably less than 10,000.

That was such an awesome moment!

Very true. It's definitely a stupid thing to do.

Isn't it a good thing, though? Every dollar the US military spends changing plaques is a dollar they're not spending blowing up children for being next to a guy who had dinner with someone related to a "terrorist." The American empire is a brutal, thuggish thing, so why not dispense with euphemisms?

"Hmm, I can't write out 'New York City,' that's too many words. I can't say 'NYC' because people might think it means 'Nubile Young Clams'...what to do??"

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers!

I think someone burned that portrait of him in his attic!

Inside you there are two Janeways.

Both of them want to blow up the ship.

**** YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME

You're driving all employment down and abandoning labor to the owner class.

Damn. If only "terrorism" didn't mean "whatever the US and Israel say is terrorism on any given day."

Goddamn, that's pathetic.

Liberal politicians aren’t betraying you they are agents of fascism

If you believe they are your allies you will get fucked

Gotta love the GOP response of "yeah, we were lying. So?"
