Mawlaya - Taylor's version (2024)

Been working through the Kissinger biography by Seymour Hersh and it does sort of pull the wool from my eyes with regards to kissinger and his supposed intellect. There is obviously no doubt that the man was smart, but it seems that his supposed intellect was more that he was willing to backstab coworkers if he felt like he needed to, or just suspend any notions of how a government is supposed to work by setting up five different channels of communication for different needs, which meant that a load of people couldn't actually do their jobs since Kissinger was blocking them for spurrious reasons.

I wonder how much of their use of Telegram is just because Zuckerberg is jewish, and they sort of know Twitter as the place that banned Trump for "being a patriot".

This is the same thing that Krugman has been ranting and raving about for a while, which is that consumer spending is on the rise, which must mean that the economy is doing great. Seemingly not bothering to answer the obvious question "what are people spending money on" and since GDP only measures whether people are spending money or not, and people being gouged on rent, food, clothing, utilities, and other famous luxuries, GDP is going up.

Trump does all the same things that Biden does, so the ruling class have no reason to do anything to influence the election. And trump did give them a massive tax-cut back in 2017-2018, while biden increased the corporate tax rate. Furthermore, the ruling class is in no way agreeing on basically anything regarding policy other than "empire good and taxes bad".

I'm pretty sure that organized crime in Mexico would roll over most of Texas in a week. And given how those groups have historically had to hide amongst civlians, they occasionally have to throw the local populations a few crumbs, which means that, if they get taken over by the cartels, Texans might for the first time have a government that does something good for them rather than just murdering them.

Coincidentally, wasn't one of those Bundy freaks also at the Capitol on Jan 6 trying to start shit? So you could even just point to the liberals' own "worst attack on our democracy" and show them that you probably shouldn't tolerate this kind of behaviour, since otherwise they become emboldened and try again.

The former foreign minister (and I think current foreign minister, but not at the time of the incident) publically thanked the United States for blowing up German energy infrastructure that was located in Danish Territorial waters, making it so that Germany could not resume cooperation with regards to energy from Russia, even if both parties decided to put the whole ukraine-war-opposite-sides thing behind them.

I highly recommend the interview with the BBC where the chinese ambassador to the UK was asked if China should be viewed as a rival/competitor to the UK, and the Chinese guy tried to very nicely tell the british that the UK does not even play in the same league as China, since China wants to be a leader in EVs, semiconductors and AI.

I mean, you can just keep selling those post offices and army baracks in the Donbass, not like the Russians are going to give up control of them any time soon, so whoever buys it will have to work REAL hard to enforce their property right to it.

The guy is a notorious league of legends streamer named Tyler1. Because his chat has been bullying him for years that he is short, he was at an event and they put the host on some kind of stilt.
