Other conservative analysts are doing the same right now. I’ve heard Larry Johnson, Garland Nixon himself, and Mark Sleboda to a lesser degree, all praising Charlie Kirk as “someone they disagree with, but always respectful of other views, intelligent, charismatic and having achieved great things”. From reactions to these comments I gather more unexpected praise is coming from other people too all over alternative media.

It seems like these people either have no idea who Charlie Kirk was, or they just spent 30 minutes watching some compilation of videos that make him look good. All of them keep saying he was about to start condemning Israel (while admitting they don’t know him well), which is completely uncharacteristic of him.

I assume part of this is a cynical attempt at gaining a new audience among Charlie Kirk’s considerably-sized flock.

But at the end of the day, let this be a reminder that they are conservatives for the large part, and at least some aspects of his rhetoric appeals to them (I assume especially his religious and homophobic views, as well as defending guns). We may agree with their stance on international politics, but they are not on our side.

This will never get old for me

This is what it means to be free! I might not like it, but I’ll defend to the death the right of that municipal authority to oppress poor 80-year-old widows! Fuck yeah!

Greek civil war 1945-1949: 150 000 dead communists in battles, executions and pogroms. Followed by 30 more years of repression, including the use of brutal concentration camps, whose sole purpose was to either kill you or break you.. All under the supervision of the CIA.

I don’t understand. We pay them so much money and they give it to these foreign people? We have a really good military, the best military folks, why don’t we use that?

I’d love to be a fly on the wall, when people try to uncomfortably explain to Trump that USAID needs to appear independent so they can destabilize other countries without criticism.

They are paid to write prompts for chatGPT, then copy paste that crap as articles

I love to explain to libs how the Tank Man in the famous video was stopping tanks from driving away from the square, and his gestures suggest he was telling the crew to drive back to the square and clear out the protestors.

Also how the “oppressive massacring” Chinese soldiers were willing to talk with him for quite a while and did not drive over him, as they had supposingly driven over all those protesters afterwards.

Meanwhile, in the US, police are using police cars to drive into protesters without consequence.

Secretary of Genocide, as another protester aptly put it.

Meanwhile every rich asshole is stating that “Brian was a generous and loving man”.

Bike Rider, if you are reading this, you are a hero!

The real salary is the bribes we made along the way

There were also reports that during covid, Boeing charged the Pentagon 600 000 to produce 15 trash cans. That’s 40 000 dollars per trash can. Previously, the same trash cans cost the Pentagon 300 dollars per item.

Elektron 1 was a Soviet satelite launched in 1964 to study radiation in space. It is still in Earth orbit and intact (but not functional).

Molniya is a series of Soviet satellites manufactured between 1965-2003. Many are still in orbit and functional to this day, with the oldest one hailing from 1977.

“It is a violent and racist program, where people pretending to be violent ICE officers got to hold guns and fire them in role-play situations where agents pretended to be immigrants,” said Ian Head, Open Records project manager at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) a legal center advocating and defending human and constitutional rights.

It’s as if the US government is training and arming white racist gun-toting militias. Curious… Hmmmmm!

By the way, it’s worth looking at the presentations linked by the article. Especially this one:

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

The images you describe are part of the propaganda. People think that’s the only way propaganda is delivered, and therefore they can’t possibly be propagandized.

Meaning, he’s likely a CIA asset.

Piracy is much better because:

a) happens in the background while you do other things (both downloading and uploading)

b) doesn’t usually use dedicated servers which consume a bunch of power for working and cooling (and take up land). In case of streaming services, servers need to be turned on 24/7 whether someone uses them or not. Then there’s the matter of energy used for their massive bandwidth to be able to distribute to all the clients simultaneously.

c) doesn’t use crazy amounts of power for encoding/decoding and compressing/decompressing a stream.

The third reason alone makes piracy a lot more environmentally friendly.

There’s a conspiracy theory that they are just pushing the collapse back as much as they can, so it blows up in Trump’s face when he gets into office in January.

This was a weirdly comedic read about worlds colliding:

American elites trying to create an American chip monopoly for nationalist and imperialist reasons, ask their colony to bring the factory to the imperial core.

Asian worker exploitation culture being imported to the US, where everyone likes to brag how hard-working people they are and think that the rest of the world is poor because it’s lazy.

American labour aristocrats refusing to conform with Taiwanese worker exploitation culture.

Taiwanese capitalists making concessions to American workers so they can fulfill the wishes of American elites.

American elites crying because they can’t build their self-sufficient capitalist tech utopia that will grab the chip market by the balls.

Taiwanese workers looking in and feeling that everything’s a bit too surreal and unbelievable for their taste.
