The Russian military is very large and has some very sophisticated equipment but it's still a terrorist militant organisation, in the service of a government of terrorist ideologues.

"It follows that in order to change an existing imagined order, we must first believe in an alternative imagined order… we need to imagine something more powerful.”

"...it’s necessary to convince many strangers to cooperate with one another, and this will happen only if these strangers believe in some shared myths."

"A change of such magnitude can be accomplished only with the help of a complex organisation, such as a political party, an ideological movement, or a religious cult.

"However, in order to establish such a complex organisation..."

“The dollar, human rights, and the United States of America, exist in the shared imagination of billions, and no single individual can threaten their existence… in order to change them, we must simultaneously change the consciousness of billions of people, which is not easy."

Quite apart from the indivual shakers weirdness, not even the pepper is a grinder? Apparently pepper with flavour isn't known in this household, either.

It's a shame no one ever threw a cup of piss at this guy.

Are the lawyers also in court wearing neck gaiters pulled up to their sunglasses?

If it was only Democrats on the Epstein list, Trump would be sending it to every household in America. Sure some MAGA will forgive Trump for being on it, but how many?

Hey, her identity is *aspirational*

100%. Education is the enemy of religion, because the better you are at critical thinking, the more difficult you will find blind faith, and blind faith is the whole point of religion.

But *never mind* what the Founders knew about the value of reason and the danger of extreme religious fervour...

I wasn't even talking about Epstein until this week because I thought they were going to eventually tell us something but to tell us all to forget it? Umm no, we think all the victims deserve a lot more justice (and compensation) than the only person imprisoned being the only woman involved.

He should try his identity as a creep next, he might have more luck with that. "As an ordinary or garden-variety creep, the kind girls' mums warn them to watch out for, the last week has been brutal"

Wow this is funny because none of the working class autistic men aged 40+ I know do this shit. Could it be because none of them find it a barrier to knowing it's wrong?

Yes, 🎯
So he could be out aged 50? For the worst crimes... life should mean life. The perpetrator's chances at redemption do not outweigh the need to protect the public from the risk of reoffending when the offense was *so* severe.

He's being eaten alive by the well-documented facts that he was big mates with Epstein, he's wealthy enough to pay for a place at Epstein's-child-trafficking-for-rape parties, he's proud of being an abuser of women, and he owned a child beauty pageant. So... who were at those parties?

These are terrorist tactics by Russia.

2/2 We don't count even the economic contribution of our cultural sector correctly. Never mind the hugely valuable cultural contribution.

1/2 I've been going quite regularly to the IWM over recent weeks - because it's incredibly good. A huge proportion of the visitors are tourists from abroad. People who've paid to fly here, stay in hotels, buy meals out, to spend entire days in the galleries of our free museums.

Mute button has never been hit so fast

You absolute beauty, 10/10, no notes, 🎯

Not surprising! People with food in their bellies are ready to work, it's that simple.

Awesome. Love astronomy photography.

Aw no, really? It would be relatively easy to do it for the Moon though, since it always shows the same side

Self-defined alpha male who can't even find the willpower to shed a few pounds, interesting definition of personal mastery there

These people have created God in their own image.

I know right? But the answer's in the question.

Literal baby killers. They seem to think these atrocities will make Ukrainians give up? That Russian leaders can't understand that this motivates people to resist harder shows how alienated from human feeling they are.
