  • No shit sherlock. Genocide is a US government thing, it doesn’t matter which president or administration.

    Eisenhower 1961:

    “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

    What if I told you, you don’t become president if you aren’t willing to feed the war machine?

    On the flip side, you won’t have the power to enact change if you don’t become president. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.



  • Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire who served as the sugar daddy for GOP vice presidential hopeful JD Vance’s Senate run, who helped kill Gawker, and who names his companies after bits of JRR Tolkein lore, said he’s considered leaving the US.

    Thiel appeared on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience and told the comic-turned-podcaster that he had recently moved from San Francisco to LA, and was also considering leaving California or the country altogether.

    So a nothing burger? Fucking baby billionaire psychopath is going to leave the US because the fascist dictator won’t be elected?

    The funny thing is he isn’t going to leave, it’s just because he wanted to get a buzz out of it. To magahats this is a clear sign the government is “weak” and hates successful people.


  • Depends on the drugs. Some withdrawal symptoms will absolutely kill you. Some drugs like nicotine have barely any side effects, but affect different people differently which can cause other side effects. It’s complicated. One thing for sure, is there is a notable difference between freeing yourself of something, and depriving yourself of something. Most of that happens in your head.

    Anecdotally I smoked weed heavily for over a decade and quit cold turkey. I got vivid dreams for a few months, but wasn’t too bothered by it, I wasn’t “depriving” myself of weed, i was free of it. I did need to take a sleeping pill once every other week to finally catch a good night’s rest, but it went back to normal. Some people will have serious problems stopping weed for various reasons. If I had anxiety I would have had to manage that as well some other way, for example.
