I like his point on reinforcing failure, I said something similar a few days ago. As things get bad instead of accepting losses and regrouping the empire doubles down on loss and loses even more. The empire is unwilling to give anything up but it MUST in order to regroup at a lesser level to stop the decline, instead however it keeps doubling down and losing even more.

Restraint is perceived as weakness, diplomacy perceived as “appeasement” and retreating seen as “cowardice”. It’s impossible maximalist goals or nothing, a deranged death cult.

This is probably the worst atrocity of the 21st century (so far )

Iraq war was pretty horrible. And NATO forcing ukraine into war is incredibly cruel too

It Is Now Labour’s Turn to Expand the Piecemeal Privatisation of the UK’s National Health Service

The UK’s new Labour government is only six days old but its grand project to further privatise the National Health Service (NHS) is already up and running. On his first day in office, “über-Blairite” Health Secretary (and wannabe prime minister) Wes Streeting announced that the NHS was “broken,” which should give his ministry plenty of leeway to inflict further damage while blaming all the resulting chaos and destruction on the last 14 years of Tory government.

By all metrics, the Conservative Party has left the NHS in a state of rack and ruin. One of the largest employers on the planet, the NHS is suffering from crippling staff shortages, dangerously long ambulance waiting times, unprecedented waiting lists for surgery or specialist clinical care — partly due to the coronavirus pandemic but also exacerbated by years of chronic underfunding — and a buckling primary care system.

Whatever the diagnosis, the treatment is already abundantly clear: yet more privatisation. Streeting himself has repeatedly pledged to outdo Tony Blair, his mentor and idol, in deploying the private sector in the provision of NHS care. Now, to help “cure” the NHS of its ills, his Health Ministry is apparently planning to bring back Sir Tony Blair’s health secretary Alan Milburn.

Anglo islanders are fucked lmao

Literally every single accusation

Channeling

Biden is/was evil but now his current state is one if extreme senility with barely any actual sentience/perception/awareness. Of course, all the flunkies around him are merciless ghouls like blinken

It’s actually kinda funny watching america abuse europe

• fuck up energy, cost of living and industry

• ask europe to guarantee ukrainian debt that will almost certainly go bad

• deal a probable mortal blow to the euro with the asset seizure

The next possible step is to directly throw away european lives (conscript europeans into a war with russia?)

Saudi Arabia threatened to sell off European debt if G-7 seized Russian assets: Report

Saudi Arabia warned it could sell off some European debt holdings in retaliation to a move by the G-7 to seize almost $300bn in frozen Russian assets, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The veiled threat was passed along from Saudi Arabia’s finance ministry earlier this year to some G-7 counterparts, as the group weighed seizing Russian assets designed to support Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia specifically signalled out the euro debt issued by France, according to Bloomberg.

A miserable pile of shit takes

Brandon’s the president that the empire deserves

No, le pen is a writing instrument

Well you need a lot of expert scryers to interpret what the senile ruler of the empire is actually saying

redditors also simultaneously consider themselves the smartest people in the room and literally superior to people who use other apps

Funny when the exact opposite is true

Ukraine should be negative. America’s actions have irreparably damaged that country

Hey, it’s ok. I’m dealing with a tough period right now too. I’ve time for powering through games because I’m unemployed and the job search is taking forever. I guess it’s my way of emotionally coping with a difficult time in life? To immerse myself in other stories and worlds, which does feel like running away from IRL stuff tbh. If you’re weak, I’m weak too.
