The US sure as hell doesn’t act like a country confident in its ability to lead. The truth is the Founding Genocidal Slaveowners couldn’t have stolen a better piece of land, the US has to look for problems because to the north and south they’re either bordered by peaceful neighbors or fish.
China is not even the USSR (although I wish they were), they’d leave the US alone if Uncle Sam would just stop trying to goad them into senseless fighting.
I’ve heard the theory that Trump 45 was mostly Ivanka and Jared Kushner while Mitch McConnell playing as the attempted puppet master (and in many cases succeeding). But now (for various reasons) they’re out of the picture, I think Trump 47, literally has no true plan nor ideology, he just wants to do whatever allows him to score victories.
He’s a “conservative” only by virtue of being both a billionaire and a sexist bigot, but he isn’t ideologically invested. He just wants to feed his legendary ego, that’s it.
I went out with an Indian lady for years and still have Indian friends (in India) via our relationship with her, and this is of course totally anecdotal, but I was told that the government had hoped for a nationalist response but most people are terrified of ACTUALLY going to war with Pakistan, and men are seriously discussing fleeing to Europe/North America (for the wealthy) or neighboring nations (for the average poor). This isn’t what the Modi regime had hoped for.
I have a theory: Just do sports, don’t lift, at least not as your main form of exercise. I have always felt that women can somehow smell it on the guys, I dunno.
The funny thing is that while most male Americans (and increasingly Westerners in general) are fat (which isn’t attractive to most straight women) the maximum body for getting the ladyfolk is not that much muscle and you should be slightly underweight but not shredded.
The biggest thing about a great physique for attracting mates is confidence, and for men, the toxic gym culture ends up creating a really fucked up body dysmorphia. I worked at the university gym during college and let me tell you the bizarre things I heard… like some guy refusing to go ask a woman out that was sending him all the signs of attraction because he was too embarrassed that his calf muscles were too small or upset that his lats weren’t looking better.
You guys, gals and theys need to work on your reading comprehension. I didn’t say I refuse to discount Bernie broadly (I do), however he has fed many into a communist pipeline (even if that isn’t his intention) and that should be recognized.
Work on your nuance, please. Thank you.
I refuse to discount Bernie (and to a lesser degree AOC) on one major thing, Bernie has been a “gateway drug” for many actual leftists, myself included… even if he himself is a mushy socdem.
I agree. I know millionaires who call themselves middle class because they can’t afford everything they want and still do “commoner things” like watching basketball.
I think we’re very close to another Kent State Massacre, but I doubt the outrage will be even a fraction of what it was last time.
The worst thing is that as things currently stand, Ben Gvir has a decent chance at becoming Prime Minister after Bennie. And unlike Netanyahu, he doesn’t even care to hide being an absolute hyper-religious Zionist psychopath.
He openly admits to supporting torture and execution of Gentiles.
PewDiePie (especially at the beginning) started the trend of screaming a lot in his videos, and then kids channels did it to get more engagement and now it’s just become a staple on all of YouTube, look at all content creators and they’re basically always shouting at the top of their lungs.
Several YouTubers like HuskyStarcraft and Jacksepticeye had to moderate their speaking and lost a ton of viewers, with the former straight up deleting his channel because people seem to not want to watch them without the screaming.
