They will never collect. This is like busting a guy selling grams on the corner, releasing him the next day and claiming you’ve shut down the entire drug running operation.

These aren’t some rinky dink operations, these are huge shell companies housed in office buildings with cubicles employing hundreds of scammers. It’s part of an organized crime syndicate, and somewhere along the line there’s some near-billionaire and a number of politicians behind the entire scheme. That’s what they mean by the nebulous statement of it being “transnational.”
Awesome, hopefully they’ll do it to all the others. Maybe take a few oligarch yachts with them along for the ride to the briny deep.
Latinos subscribe heavily to the machismo personality = good, and that any threat against it is a threat to their existence. They are raised religious with heavy incentive on strong family structures, something that conservatives use as a weapon to curry favor.
Asians tend to be extremely conservative, particularly Chinese immigrants. They grew up in an authoritarian world, and view the progressive policies of the West as antithetical to their own. They don’t care if Trump is a racist, or blames them for the Kung Flu, because he represents their views on what a government should be.
Stop calling them conservatives. This level of ultranationalism has fascist written all over it.
The both sides message is particularly insidious because it takes a real criticism and then equates it with something that is potentially much worse. It does nothing but limit options, and breeds nihilistic cynicism and nothing more. The worst part about it is that it is based on an absolute lie: the idea of both sides being the same doesn’t make any fucking sense, because in this world nothing is the same. If it was the same, it wouldn’t need to have a distinction. It’s an argument against progress, and therefore a wholly conservative viewpoint in that it states that rather than choosing the best of the two options to not bother at all. To stay the same, or even revert.
It’s totally dystopian and reminds me of Russian propaganda, which is designed to erode faith in everything, so that the people in power can make the decisions while the people feel helpless.
You could have Trump come out and say it to him directly and he wouldn’t believe it anyways. Your friend chooses to believe what they believe the way a fanatic believes in their delusions. It only serves to reaffirm their belief structure, and nothing else. If Trump pulled a 180 tomorrow, these people would simply claim that he has been brainwashed or that he’s a paid imposter, or anything else.
They are aggressively stupid. They would rather take the whole ship down with them, than admit they might be wrong.
It worked against the Nazis. It worked against Americans in Vietnam. What exact scenario are you imagining where insurgency and sabotage doesn’t work against an occupying military?
I dunno about all that. He wasn’t exactly a beacon of intellectualism when he was young either.
The song was basically a diss track aimed at DMX among others. Not sure if you were being sarcastic and knew that, but just in case you didn’t. The previous section of the verse is “Motherfuck D, Motherfuck M”
Exactly. Peaceful protest only works against a civilized opponent.
Revolution doesn’t have to occur with polite protesting. When the resistance was happening in France it was done by targeting critical Nazi infrastructure and personnel.
It’s never easy, but if you are Russian and you value freedom, then you’re at war with your government, and currently your government has you in a choke hold. Your only option is to gouge out your opponents eye, even though you might die trying, because you’re never getting out of the choke hold without trying.
This guy can’t seem to comprehend that the west is approaching his whole thing as though it’s a toddler trying to fight a grown man. The moment they decide the joke is over then Russia becomes a parking lot. This isn’t like when Afghanistan or even Iraq were invaded and people felt bad about it and protested in massive demonstrations. This will be a war where people will be out for blood.
It that’s what this wannabe gangster goofball wants, then he can keep poking and see what happens I guess. No shortage of dictators who learn a brutal lesson in history.

This is pretty awesome. Looks like something from a fucking spaceship.
It’s honestly right in everyone’s face and yet mentioning it people will act like it’s some sort of fringe conspiracy. No, motherfucker. It’s their policy. They’re open about it and they leave a paper trail.
Russia will simply destabilize anything it can. They tried to get all of Africa, but it turns out they can see through their bullshit like everyone else, so they’ve decided to fuck with a handful of countries instead. These countries, by the way, are often responsible for vast diamond mining operations, with Russia being the number one country for both sourcing and laundering blood diamonds on the planet.
The people organizing this shit are the ones who are becoming African mining oligarchs. It’s essentially the same as Russia’s attempted playbook in Ukraine.
