I think partially it was an admittedly masterful use of liberal ‘we need more ethnically diverse billionaires’ grift. Also coming after Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and the other one, it probably helps that he looks like he knows what he’s doing.

Fucking Sunak man. That guy is almost a parody of an out of touch hyperwealthy wanker.

‘I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working class. Well, not working class.’

What a prick.

I would seriously consider only having a home phone if I can ever afford to buy a place. Maybe a lightphone or similar to carry that only direct family have the number for in case of emergency.

Ha! Your valid and well thought out response is ruined now because you said maybe the US has also done some bad things! Whataboutism, Russian bot, CCP shill.

It’s an interesting scenario. Would it lead to a withdrawal of forces back to the homeland to prosecute the war for either side? Or would it lead to petty warlordism both in and outside of the US?

Obviously I don’t want the people of the US to suffer in a horrific civil war like has happened to so many countries the US has meddled in, and a destabilized US is probably more visibly dangerous than one that suffers a slow relative decline into multipolarity.

It’s clearly because we need more female CEO’s and drone pilots, not more women that help humanity improve themselves. How are you meant to girlboss on the cutting edge of science when you can’t write witty LinkedIn productivity hacks or make propaganda enlistment videos?

Star Trek is great, even when the socialist aspect isn’t openly mentioned I feel it can push a lot of people further left just from watching it enough. Awesome that they are open to characters stating it, although as good as it is it would only be because the producers think it’s financially viable, not for any subversive reasons. Still, if their greed makes them willing to get more people to look into what socialism actually means than that makes the show even better.
