Do you have any evidence, or even an outline of an idea of how trump is personally enriching himself from the conflict?

Insider trading and offshore payments from the industries benefiting from all this. Are you seriously asking me how he is being corrupt? trump? the trump trump? He’s mostly just doing it in public now. People have been pointing it out his entire second term.

You mentioned a bunch of the “business ideas” he’s talked about and other things he’s said in public. You are watching the show on stage and believing all the actor’s motivations and the stage settings.

If you think the con man who successfully and consistently walks away unscathed and with obscene amounts of money, is just a dumb loser, there is nothing I or anyone alive can do to rescue you from that belief. I can only ask you to pull yourself back and look at the facts, and that belief, from a meta position. Because all through that belief is the fact that it simply can’t be true.

Ahh, so the genocides and slavery and concentration camps and everyone in jail and the racism and misogyny and queerphobia and all that for two centuries was just “on fire”?

Women couldn’t have a bank account on their own till 1978, but that was just “on fire”? Somehow who? The boomers? turned 200 years of “on fire” into “ashes” but then gave women the right to bank accounts and the ability to hold higher offices beyond secretary? Or the civil rights act? Or were those just fanning the flames?

Somehow, what? When, in all the oppression and suffering, did it cross your imaginary threshold?

I’m not defending the selfish fucking white boomers. I’m not defending X or the “greatest” or the silents or whoever. But if you want to genuinely change things, you have to see the whole two century shitfest for what it is. If you believe it is the fault of anyone you remember, you will fail at bringing about real change.

I’m sorry, maybe I misspoke. You seem to believe I’m pro America or think America is full of ubermench or something. Please see my original statement “there are no good guys here”.

trump isn’t “playing 4d chess” he’s just doing the simple routine he always does, destroying the company country on purpose, while distracting from it and pretending he’s not doin it on purpose, to avoid legal culpability in the ensuing court battles. It’s literally all he’s ever done, why would this be different?

You mention Vietnam. The huge money sink that made trillions for defense contractors at the expense of American and Vietnamese lives? The one that worked the already organized youth back home into fruitlessly attacking a situation instead of the government and corporate structures they set out to change in the first place?

America hasn’t won a war since WWII, and this is on purpose. They are just replaying that time in WWII when they got addicted to all the money they could make through chaos and terror. This isn’t because America is a genius who could totally win if they wanted. It’s because they are an addict stripping copper from every building they come across, and sleeping in a dumpster.

These aren’t excuses. These are the base motivations of America.

Anyway, I’m not going to argue with you about Iran’s intentions. If you think they’re being altruistic, that’s beyond my abilities to convince you otherwise. I would love you to see America’s real face though.

Bullshit. If Israel gets pissy enough they’ll drop a nuke. Iran cannot remain defensible if they let either Israel or America destroy the countries around them.

The only reason Iran wasn’t beaten into submission by the US is because trump’s whole thing is to pretend to lose accidentally so he can wash money through the system and siphon it out. He’s been doing this his entire life, and the fact that people think this is anything but that, is startling.

trump and the boyz are skimming billions off this thing every single day. Keeping it on the edge like this “win-lose-win-lose” allows those in the know to siphon off a country sized chunk of money every single breath.

No, it’s totally possible. Not with any technology we’ve ever built, maybe not with any technology we can build, but physics doesn’t preclude it outright.

Your point still stands though. It’s a promise that’s impossible to meet within the lifetime of the investors.

Iran only cares about those because they know if they let Gaza and Lebanon fall to Israel unopposed, Iran is next. It’s complete self interest.

So it can cover, cane, and oppress them.

There are no good guys here. Mommy and Daddy are fighting to see who gets to fiddle the kids.

I don’t know what to do for you if you think the government that genocided a thousand nations just to exist, enslaved a whole chunk of the planet by skin color, then wink wink “got rid of slavery” while keeping it firmly entrenched in society for over a century, and has gone through several concentration camp phases, was “an unburned cake”. It was certainly “burned” in the 50s or 80s or whatever your silly, arbitrary timeframe is.

Romanticizing the past, when you had no control, ain’t going to help you if you’re searching for truth. It will help if you’re looking to feel better, but in the process you’ll ostracize allies who do recognize the “burn” I have mentioned, and be unable to genuinely create anything that is beneficial to all.

Oh god, he’s listening to yud?

Bernie, my man, you’re too old for this one. Your discernment breaks in this basin. Get out and find some youths you know and trust for reasons outside politics and tech.

If they could have fixed it, that means you can fix it too

!

Kerker? I hardly know her!

Ping?

Theys easy to find. Opinions make you cry when you cut them.

That’s weird, I’ve never seen anyone do it with less than a whole pig. You just take the guts out and put seasoning in.

For your lay: the government puts a significant fraction of the coins into these boxes and can use the statistical information gained from this to deobfuscate transactions. If you put enough money in, either at once or slowly over time, they can figure out who you are.

We live in the future!

We live in the future!

We live in the future!

Unexpected couchon. You haven’t had pork till you’ve eaten a couchon de lait seasoned to Creole standards and cooked in good swamp earth.

Edit: wait. Half a pig?

OMG! Thank you! I’m eager to see people stop doing this, just as soon as capitalist propaganda stops pretending it’s the solution to every problem. It’ll be so nice not to have to fight again those trillions wit my widdle voice that’s apparently more overbearing than the captured media and school system propaganda.

Thank you, genuinely.

You have to pick where you spend your resource points. We only get so many. Add to the good stuff you were given, minimize the bad stuff you were given, and pass it on. You’ll never get everything, but that’s ok, the next generation will do this too.

Look 7 generations out, each direction. You’re small, but be a reliable stitch.
