his base just eats it up too because they're the kind of people that think doing an imperialism is bad rear end and would lean fully into being a conquering warlord if given the chance

imperialism will morph into whatever it needs to be to be palatable. Even old school extremely racist and proud they still needed a reasoning to hide behind

I was listening to an old episode of loveline because someone made a thread about it, and they had an Iraqi Christian living in America call in for boyfriend advice. The topic came around to the ongoing Iraq War and she held the simultaneous beliefs that Saddam was evil and she was happy that the US got him, and also that the invasion was terrible and unjust. They tried to get her to explain how she could hold both views and she just couldn't wrap her head around her own cognitive dissonance. It was wild.

There's a new neural network text generator website. I gave it the prompt "Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire" and it created some great reports.quote:Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire apple pie. He says this is a sign that things are starting to improve. quote:Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire kilogram of corn while he was visiting Texas, where people eat corn in larger quantities than in Venezuela. The United Nations has condemned the abuse of Venezuelan corn. quote:Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire pig in one sitting, which is not something that most people can do, but is an exceptional and very rare experience for the Venezuelan Maduro, who is considered the most beautiful man in the world. Just like this pig! Nicolas Maduro eats an entire pig in one sitting. After eating, Nicolas Maduro said, "I ate the pig and then I ate pork chops with chicken and avocado!" That's crazy! He actually had a lot of chicken! It is pretty incredible! quote:Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire cow at a restaurant in Caracas, Venezuela, reportedly to commemorate the nation's largest holiday in memory. However, this might sound outrageous as it took place while a nation with an estimated 100 billion people is fighting a hunger crisis. quote:Nicolas Maduro recently ate an entire pineapple in less than a minute, according to Venezuelan media reports that took to the web this week.

the goal of America is literally to make all of South/Central America fascist, ignore when the people there protest against their right wing/coup governments, and then train them to keep their populations trapped in their cages the ignored: https://twitter.com/HaitiInfoProj/status/1110751441759535104 https://twitter.com/ReparationsH/status/1134313013123530752 https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1134578190045929477 https://twitter.com/PiensaPrensa/status/1134665427081150464 the border control: https://twitter.com/HenryKrinkIe/status/1134636171227738112 https://twitter.com/HenryKrinkIe/status/1009226267667959808 https://twitter.com/HenryKrinkIe/status/1126960745722392576 if you resist this fate then theyll call you the "troika of tyranny" and try to overthrow your government every single day that it continues to exist.
